Dingle, Christopher Priest, and I founded Milestone Media. Milestone was a worldwide phenomenon when it launched, and it sold millions. Our groundbreaking arrangement with DC Comics, the largest joint venture deal ever done in comics, is still the gold standard for independent publishers seeking distribution with a major one. 20 years later, Milestone is still regarded as the[...]

Two weeks before Christmas, And all through offices Not a creature was stirring Except for some promises. A letter was sitting On the co-publisher's desk From a reader, a subscriber Who was feeling most vexed. "I'm appalled" said the letter. "I live out in Devon. And I won't get Detective Comics #27". I'm far from a shop I'm far from a store And the start of Gothtopia I won't see[...]

This is all very well timed for… that. Batman: The Dark Knight writer Gregg Horwitz posted, in what now seems to be DC's official policy of announcing the end of comics by getting the writers to do it on their personal blogs; Batman is forever, but sadly not all of his titles are Batman: The Dark Knight[...]

A lot better than any expected, with Jeff Lemire, Travel Foreman, Steve Pugh and more, driving the character forward, gaining fans and, it seemed, also gave us the only married lead character in the New 52.

And since FOC was set before the cover was cancelled, retailers may well not have been getting as many copies of the comic as they'd have liked… Something clearly had to be done And what background discussions, hard[...]

When Five Years Later was first envisioned at DC Comics, it was designed to fix a few of the continuity goofs that had happened when the New 52 was launched. Well, from today's Justice League #25, here's another to add to the pile. Rather well executed, we get the origin of the New 52 version of Plastic[...]

Even the merest mention in the new Chew is enough to set the heart aflutter. Manifest Destiny #2, my favourite comic this week, and here's one reason why, a stunning fall from a cliff, with comic panelling utilised to the full, even a minor eclipse of the sun. Add a bunch of Minotaurs and horse headed centaurs[...]

There were a ton of my favorite DC books out this week, Valiant had Unity #2, Kirkman's Skybound delivered, and Marvel had some Inhuman and mutant mash-ups. This will probably be one of[...]

And now DC Comics has cancelled that cover. There's no update if this will affect his originally-announced two page spread, or even if they were meant to be the same thing, repurposed, or not… DC Comics advises that retailers up their orders on the Greg Capullo cover to compensate, but Final Order Cut-off date for ordering was[...]
