 JMS was quoted, talking about The Twilight Zone comic, saying You can't do a Twilight Zone story in ten pages, or one twenty-two page comic book; you need to be able to establish and develop the character, and that takes time You could never do a single comic book with the depth of storytelling you'd get[...]

Something like this... a preview of Ten Grand #5 drawn by new artist CP Smith. With "Nothing interesting happens in heaven"... an interesting use of

A year ago, 170,000 tickets were sold. NEAL BEFORE POWER Could Neal Adams be returning to Captain Power? Goddard: … I've already talked to Neal; Neal would love to do a new rendition of Captain Power so he's on board… Lay: Did you know that also Neal came up with the look for Skeleton Warriors? The original look for[...]

There, next to quadratic equations and early clumsy fumblings are the words above. Sidekick is a new comic book by JMS and Tom Mandrake out next week about a second string, Flyboy, who has lost the first string This is a Robin whose Batman has died, and he's not coping. This kind of territory was most successfully[...]

I highly recommend it! JMS' Sidekick was a classic innocence lost tale with a twist ending that sustained my curiosity Robocop was great not just for the old school Frank Miller script, but damn that was some good art! And SAGA had its first t-shirt. Hickman gave us the final prelude before next week's insane INFINITY[...]

It's a story of love and devotion that continues beyond the grave, to something deeply profound, beautiful and eternal." Cemetery Cats has been trademarked by Studio JMS Corporation California… From Ten Grand… "CEMETERY CATS, the first illustrated fantasy novel from Joe's Comics, tells the story of Kristabel, a cat whose fourteen-year-old mistress has passed away[...]

Straight from Bill Sienkiewicz, the logo to Alone, his new series for Image with Joe Michael Straczynski. Two surnames with a lot of less-used consonants

I have rarely enjoyed any assignment so much, and count it among my best work – Colleen Doran. And JMS will be launching Alone with Bill Sienkiewicz, "a six-issue series that's going to deconstruct comic book storytelling." Joe Michael Straczynski has announced at Image Comics Expo that he will be bringing Dream Police with Mike Deodato[...]

And Superior Spider-man leaves us without and hope…in this era… Bedlam and Great Pacific volume one's are out, value priced and with dollar first issues that I'll give my people free! Image makes it so easy to try something new! Ten Grand by JMS and Templesmith was creepy cool Yes it felt like Hellblazer minus London[...]

The narration fits right in though….In terms of JMS' previous' work, this mines some similar territories as Midnight Nation, but a less glamourised, a more down to earth and jobsworth take on it all But it's not Constantine, it's not Wormwood, it's not Richard Fell, it's Joe And that works fine.Ten Grand #1 by JMS[...]

Michael Straczynski and his Studios JMS for a 10-episode science fiction series called Sense8. JMS is quite a busy fellow these days. The Wachowskis' new sci-fi drama project Sense8 has landed atNetflix with a 10-episode order for a debut on Netflix Instant in late 2014. "We're excited to work with Netflix and Georgeville Television on this project, and we've wanted to[...]

Which makes a refreshing change. Of course, you can also get one signed by JMS for $29.99, and there's the black and white version for $10 with the JMS signed version of that for $39.99… Of you can even get the original standard cover by Ben Templesmith signed and CGC rated at 9.8 for $39.99 if that's[...]

From the sparsely-attended but big-name-filled Dynamite panel at ECCC last night, with the likes of Chris Roberson and Mark Waid amongst Matt Wagner, Ron Marz and more.  Roberson was credited with scripting over Joe Michael Straczynski's plots on the Superman Grounded arc, though has stated that he wrote the whole issues, but had to give[...]

SDCC brought us a deluge of JMS announcements this summer, but the comics, tv and film writer isn't stopping there Now he's writing the Shadowman film for Valiant Entertainment and producer Sean Daniel.

Technical difficulties bring a little levity to the room as JMS battles a faulty projector and bumbling technical staff to announce the formation of Studio JMS, his self-branded home for Straczinsky-branded comics, films and more. The most amusing is heralded by a cadre of Riverdancing zombies and zombettes They are promoting "Living Dead: The Musical"[...]

J. Michael Straczynski is everywhere at this year's SDCC.  For that matter, we've heard from Shane Davis previously this week as well.  Here they are

Max Brooks explained "it's a comics division, not a pre-movie  division." Shane Davis isn't factoring in potential future movies when designing Shadow Walk, and knows that much of what he's illustrating wouldn't work well on film. At this point, a really obnoxious Doctor Who cosplayer asked JMS why if he was looking for experts on aliens[...]

If JMS discovered that through some legal loophole, Top Cow owned all the characters in Midnight Nation and were preparing Before Midnight Nation, against his wishes, I feel his position might be different He is one of the few people who has consistently gone to bat on this matter however, rather than hiding in wishy[...]

PoliticsWatch: WND looks at the history of the comic book, and recent cultural shifts under Obama. Traitorism, the death of America and sodomy, apparently.

Looks like midnight EST was the embargo point, for certain comic book journalists to be allowed to talk about the Before Watchmen comics they've seen. And

John Bailey is attending C2e2 for Bleeding Cool: The DC panelists were Bob Harras, Editor Bobbie Chase, Geoff Johns, JMS, Shane Davis, Scott Snyder, and additional guest Kevin Maguire.
