And here's the relatively sedate Nite Owl #2 cover from Kubert & Son to match… [...]

Now Roger Langridge Quits Marvel And DC Comics Over Ethical Concerns
Roger Langridge hasn't done a lot for DC Comics Gross Point, a little Big Books, some Bizarro World springs to mind, but not a lot more. He's done far more for Marvel Comics, especially of late, from Doctor Who to The Mighty Thor to John Carter, and Marvel are currently putting out his Muppets comics. But that[...]

Rian Hughes Looks Again At The New DC Logo
When Bleeding Cool broke the story of the new DC logo, we were able to ask comic book logo designer Rian Hughes what he thought, and he was rather complimentary. He's less complimentary now He writes; As I've mentioned, a good logo should first and foremost work "bare", preferably without any 3D rendering and Photoshop fanciness[...]
Zealot And Deathblow Join The New DCU
We knew that Lobo would return to the DC Universe in Deathstroke #9, the first of three monthly titles plotted by Rob Liefeld (and also drawn by him) But there was someone I wasn't expecting to see Jim Lee's Zealot from the Wildstorm series WildCATS. And yes, yes, yes, her hips are wider than her shoulders,[...]
