Dave Dorman twitters
Gee. I sure wish the Dabel Bros. would pay me the $1k they owe me for the cover I did for them, which they just reprinted in a compilation.
Basically, they've screwed me twice.
Matt Brady announces his resignation from Newsarama. Good luck Matt, thanks for all the fun! And just in time for some big event of other in which a bunch of comics and comics-related media companies are all gathered in one big room, and a number of nearby bars, all ready to schmooze you…
The Wildstorm blog The Bleed (we really should sue, shouldn't we?) runs the wraparound cover to Planetary #27
The X-Men relationship chart has been doing the rounds of late, from UncannyX-Men.net…
…but have you noticed that while Wolverine certainly gets around, about 90% of his bedded babes are now deaded babes? Is Wolverine a symptomless carrier of something nasty?
All this fuss about the $3.99 price point, well, do you remember the last time? Back in 2006 when all Marvel books went to $2.99 or above? The Newsarama boards were awash with comment.

As a result, I am going to be a pit-bull when it comes to allowing such revelations to take place outside of the main title. It is absolutely imperative that when SECRET INVASION is finished, the reader feels satisfied that all of the Skrull agents have been ferreted out, and that no more remain in place.
Romance comics return to India, from Euro Books reprinting stories from the DC Thompson collection. The Star Love Collection has taken material from girls' comics like Jackie, Mandy and Bunty, very popular in the seventies and eighties, and colourised them for a new Indian audience. Sadly they don't seem to have done anything about the big hair, mullets, sideboards or seventies moustaches however…
And The New York Times prints previews of Image United, the big Image creator crossover thingy with a handy interactive key...
