Comics Industry Rep Accidentally Shows How Pop Culture Stays White – COLORLINES
Lost in the big news weekend was this gem of a piece by Racialicious' Arturo R. Garcia, highlighting the effort to get Marvel Comics rep Tom Brevoort to come clean about race's role in the creative process. The conversation was kicked off by an interview in which Brevoort discards the idea of an all-black lineup for an Avengers series, saying there weren't enough black superhero characters who'd be suited for such a team — but then goes on to pull reasons out of the air for each member of an existing all-white Avengers lineup. Garcia details how comics fans, particularly @SonofBaldwin, approached Brevoort on Twitter over this. Brevoort, to his credit, is forthcoming with honest answers.
Jack Kirby's Three Thors | Jack Kirby Museum & Research Center

Newsarama.com : Is MARVEL COMICS Sticking to the Quarterly Death "Joke"?
Huh. So Marvel really wasn't joking about that "We'll kill a character every quarter" thing, it appears. If you haven't seen the unlettered preview art from July's Captain America #1, the final page shows Steve Rogers, Nick Fury, Dum-Dum Dugan, Sharon Carter, a military vet and a couple of unidentified characters attending a funeral.

Amazon has instructed at least one publisher to remove its yaoi books from the Kindle store, while allowing considerably more explicit male-female titles to remain. Digital Manga Publishing, which puts out several lines of yaoi, ranging from the fairly tame June imprint to the pretty steamy 801, posted this notice on its blog yesterday:
Recently Amazon has become more strict in enforcing their content requirements for ebooks. Several DMP books that have been available online since 2009 are getting the axe, beginning with our 801 Media titles like Weekend Lovers and King of Debt. However, in the last few days the issue has spread to the June imprint by Amazon's refusal of The Selfish Demon King, and the removal of The Color of Love from the Kindle store. We fear that Amazon may target more of our books for removal so we're warning all Amazon Kindle store users that providing you with our content may become more difficult in the future. However, if you purchase our ebooks before Amazon decides to remove it from their store you will still be able to access the book from your account.

Dean also singled out a $45,000 payment of Legacy money that was made last year to science fiction writer Neil Gaiman for a four-hour speaking appearance. Dean said that Gaiman, "who I hate," was a "pencil-necked little weasel who stole $45,000 from the state of Minnesota."
Following the reveal of John Constantine at the end of BRIGHTEST DAY #24, it probably was not hard for you to guess who the shaded out figure on the previously shown version of the cover for BRIGHTEST DAY AFTERMATH: THE SEARCH FOR SWAMP THING is.
