Remember H.E.A.T., the activist group of comic fans that threatened Ron Marz over his use of Kyle Rayner in Green Lantern over Hal Jordan? And threateneng

Then there's Locke & Key and Chew to prove that I love creator owned books! I really do! Then I become a company man for DC and Marvel, but only for their best books DC has the return of a New God in Wonder Woman as well as Wesley Willis reimaged as a God (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesley_Willis) [...]

I forgot to check this on publication a couple of weeks ago… but yes, as predicted, DC Comics decided to make a slight art alteration between the released cover for World's Finest #7 and the actual printed version… Before… ,,,and after. Yep, that's what I've spent my Sunday looking at. I forgot to check this on publication a[...]

On Front Row, on BBC Radio 4 this week, novelist Toby Litt told the host about writing a comic book for DC Comics based on characters created by Neil Gaiman Talking about trilogies, he said; I was doing a comic book for DC which used some of Neil Gaiman's characters, so he had to say okay[...]

DC let us know about a bunch of hardcovers coming our way a few days ago But they didn't tell us everything. Like the Animal Man Omnibus collecting Grant Morrison's 25 issue run, a modern masterpiece. Or Sandman beginning a run in the Omnibus format. How about Jeph Loeb, Ed McGuinness and Michael Turner's initial run on[...]

Remember, remember, the tenth of December... Today, the Outhousers managed to see Newsarama's listing of the Batman Group solicitations before they

DC are really delaying the Edge and Batman solicits for March, aren't they? UPDATE: Scott Snyder has tweeted; Hey guys – was going to wait until we got a little closer to announce this, but yes, Swamp Thing #18 will be my last issue, and Yanick's too.

I mentioned during the weekend's shenanigans concerning Gail Simone and Batgirl that I'd heard a number of stories concerning the relationship between creative and editorial at DC Comics right now Gail Simone and her editor Brian Cunningham was just one example. Another concerns a creative team on a very prominent title over a number of months[...]

For instance I understand that Batgirl #17 and #18 won't be written by Gail Simone This specifically isn't an indication that Gail[...]
