Rick Remender is bringing the tech in SECRET AVENGERS #30 – amidst a frenetic high speed chase involving both Vengeance (I assume?), the Taskmaster and a whole lot of smart-quippery. STILL NOT AS[...]
Booster Gold Takes On The Superman / Wonder Woman Kiss
Sent from an anonymous comics retailer comes one scene from Justice League International Annual #1which, you know, shouldn't be a spoiler after this week's news agenda, although the panels after it are – and I've deleted those.

Talking To Dan DiDio About Stephanie Brown And Rob Liefeld
And he started asking Dan about the campaign to send waffles to protest the lack of Stephanie Brown-ness in the DC New 52. I started off asking him how many waffles he got and he said about ten,(I wouldn't be shocked if he rounded down) so I said there doesn't seem to be as much demand[...]

Jim Lee And Scott Snyder To Launch Man Of Steel Comic For 2013?
And also that he wasn't going to be writing Action Comics (we know this, it's Andy Diggle.) But what is going on? Well, in light of the Bleeding Cool story about Jim Lee leaving Justice League around about issue 16, it was tempted to line that up with rumours of WildCATS relaunching under his helm. But instead,[...]

Rob Liefeld Versus Tom Brevoort. Oh, It's On.
Fresh from his litany of accusations against DC Comics' working practices, Rob Liefeld seemed clear to set the record straight over his relationship with the folks at 1700 Broadway on Twitter, in the belief that they were about to spin against him And he wanted to get in first. When I speak of re-writes at DC,[...]
Justice League Dark To Get A Princess Of Gemworld
