Hey, DC, why ISN'T this a BLACK CANARY book?!? MASSIVE WOOD WEEK Oh shush, I'm not even the first one to crack that lame joke Three new Brian Wood books in a single week is a darn impressive feat The first is THE MASSIVE #1 (he he) from Dark Horse, featuring a trio of radical environmentalists out[...]

Christian Hoffer writes for Bleeding Cool; As most of you are aware, Robert Washington III passed away last week. Mr. Washington is best known as the

You publish fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty comics a month. Sometimes schedules slip down the cracks. Sometimes solicitations aren;t as complete as you

I wonder if she'll bring it up at all? Scenes from Vimanarama #2, from DC/Vertigo with Philip Bond on art. I don't think a writer whose comic books have depicted the Queen, naked and humiliated, along well as the rest of the British Government has ever been offered the MBE before. Still there's a first time for[...]

Quite the coup of DC. But he still has multiple issues left on his exclusive contract. Too many to draw in time to be able to draw Catwoman Zero. Sure he may be leaving Marvel and signing to DC – in fact this looks like strong evidence of that. Just not quite yet. Naughty DC, they did something similar with[...]

  You have to feel for Stephanie Brown fans. She may be back, in the Smallville comic, an extension of the TV show, or uncertain canon, and not even

DC have a history of changing such covers between solicitation and publication when someone points out a possible ludicrousness Here are a few examples of covers as they were initially promoted, and how they actually were published. Such as Red Hood's[...]

It was the double punch of Jupiter's Children and Happy that seems to have done it. Frank Quitely and Grant Morrison, creators who had worked for DC on the monster hit All Star Superman, Flex Mentallo and We3 and currently working on one of the Multiversity issues together. And suddenly Frank Quitely is working with Mark Millar[...]

Diamond still seem to be insisting that Matt Fraction is involved as a co-writer to some degree though. And, from the new DC solicits, note that Scott Kolins is indeed the new Legion Of Superheroes artist, but also that Dwayne Turner as replaced new Superman artist Kenneth Rocafort on Red Hood And The Outlaws, and that[...]

Ame Comi: Wonder Woman #3 came out yesterday from DC Comics, digitally Here's the credits page. But it's actually drawn by Tony Akins As Amanda's partner points out..

As is Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons, Alex Ross, John Cassaday and Ardian Syaf. While Charlton Comics was sold to DC Comics, Peter Cannon creator Pete Morisi kept his rights, an early example of creator ownership He has previously licensed those rights to DC, but it seems that this time Dynamite stepped up. And Alex Ross collaborator Steve[...]

And there we go. We knew that with four new titles, four had to go. Justice League International's last issue is in August, Voodoo, Resurrection Man and

They're taking their time over this one… The Justice League, Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and more solicitations are out… But the big news in the Superman titles will be that Scott Lobdell is the new writer of the monthly Superman title, starting with issue zero in September.

Rob Liefeld already told us that Hawk & Dove would return in DC Universe Presents But not that they would be joined by a number of other characters from the first wave of cancelled titles – or indeed their creative teams. But the DC Universe Presents #0 for DC's Zero Month gives us five stories, each[...]

Intriguingly, despite restrictions on time travel in the New DCU, Captain Atom has been able to travel along his own time stream back to his past It is very possible that this may be a snake-eating-its-own-tail time travel story and a Zero issue may neatly wrap the whole comic with a bow of self causuality. It[...]

For denser books such as Dial H, that means a fast plot or fast character development (ideally both) and a solid conceptual basis.
