Earlier today, Nancy Collins posted on Facebook "Just turned in my first main-stream comic book script in 16 years." Something tells me that an upcoming Gendercrunching episode focused on Dynamite Comics will make for interesting reading. At San Diego Comic Con, Dynamite will be announcing Red Sonja Legends, to coincide with the character's 40th anniversary. And just as[...]

The Movement #1 by Gail Simone and Freddie Williams II is published today And despite certain publicity machines painting it as an Occupy Comics book, it isn't that.

Bleeding Cool Magazine article by Rich Johnston When Gail Simone was rehired on Batgirl by DC Comics after being fired a week previously, it reminded me of a couple of past examples I'd heard And both included Mark Waid.

Since the announcement of The Movement by Gail Simone and Freddie Williams last week, it has been attacked from the right as pandering to left wing activists, and to a lesser extent from the left as co-opting the Occupy movement for the needs of a multi-global business Here are a few of our favourites; Right Wing[...]
