Several soon-to-be-released series like Afterlife with Archie and The Fox suggest that Archie Comics doesn't shy away from shifting its public image these days into more challenging realms, but the secret to their success seems to be building on longstanding good ideas rather than radical departures that might lose core readership. In the Archie Comics[...]

On Monday, Mark Waid announced he had bought into a comic store, Alter Ego Comics in Muncie, Indiana. Today, he's announced that he and the co-owners of that store have also invested in Art Baltazar and Franco's store Aw Yeah Comics, in Stokie, Illinois And that Art and Franco have invested in Alter Ego… Mark points out[...]

  On the 18th of August, Mark Waid posted in response to Ron Marz; @ronmarz I wouldn't worry for him At least he's writing Superman. — Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) August 19, 2013   Since that time, neither writers of the monthly Superman books, Scott Lobdell and Scott Snyder have replied, despite both having fully functioning Twitter accounts, and both having[...]

Neil Gaiman, Mark Millar, Mark Waid and so on–so those guys won't be ready until a year hence Which means I can do one of two things–just go freelance and play around or I can just sign a one-year contract with somebody to do a storyline that I want, which is a good possibility because[...]

This was a tweet from Mark Waid, presuming regarding the film 2 Guns, based on a screenplay by Steven Grant, and the 2 Guns comic from Boom! drawn by Mateus Santolouco Mark Waid was, until fairly recently, editor-in-chief of Boom! Studios. Grant declined to comment, but encouraged people to speculate as they wish and invited Waid[...]

Although there are fewer than they used to be. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QBdTFXDvLY[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQPjIWvhB7E[/youtube] And Mark Waid seems to confirm the the nature of the Chronactivists mentioned earlier today from Indestructible Hulk.

Mark Waid, of Thrillbent has announced the opening of the Thrillbent store, allowing people to pay to download PDF versions of the Thrillbent comics they have been offering for free in CBZ format. And, in a model that seems to echo Bryan K Vaughan and Marcos Martin's Private Eye digital comic, they are DRM-free and, for[...]

Based in London, they would also be relatively local and on the same time zone. Boom! however have shown enormous success with recent licences such as Adventure Time and Regular Show, and it would make the publication of a rumoured planned-at-IDW Doctor Who series written by Mark Waid very easy They also have a greater US[...]

Boom! have shown success with some licences, but Doctor Who is a different kettle of fish to their previous work in that area. One twist is that the decision to end the IDW/BBC Doctor Who license is that a planned Doctor Who series written by Mark Waid has had to be dropped. Unless Boom or Titan want[...]

Mark Waid suggests that the increasing popularity of digital comics may even be getting more folks to visit their local comic book stores, with the ComiXology apps all containing a store locator within them. The panel agreed that from a creative standpoint there will always be a place for print comics with some artists' work, such[...]

Introduced by his Daredevil and Rocketeer collaborator Mark Waid, the Eisner nominee dove into a retrospective on his career and his influences – from his early work with Oni Press to his Marvel and IDW collaborations with Waid himself. Samnee says his love of comics started at an early age Although he had never heard of[...]

Could there be similar outrage here? Not to worry though, there are plenty of other panels at San Diego with just men on them. UPDATE: It appears that on some listings, both Mark Waid and George Perez appear But that the schedule has been updated since then This is how the listing originally appeared; Gender in Comic Books Ball[...]

A conversation between superfan Michael Grabois and writer of Superman Birthright writer Mark Waid went like this… @mgrabois Dude, I didn't even get a free ticket Are you kidding me? It's DC Even Marvel invites me to the movies. — Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) June 14, 2013   @mgrabois DC no longer pays creators for that stuff[...]

A massive hunt for the right artist took over a year, and then one evening Mark Waid retweeted samples from a young up and comer from Ohio, Shawn Langley, and a mail was swiftly sent. Shawn was looking was a story to showcase his undoubted skills, and when told the story of Earthruler, jumped right in[...]

Few of us get to play for so long in a world we loved as a child, and I'll always appreciate the readers who made it possible. Long live the Legion! Not everyone was as sanguine. Holy shit, did DC just end the Legion franchise after 40 years of continuous publication? #AnotherProudNew52Moment — Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) May 13, 2013   @philjimeneznyc[...]

The experience was disappointingly foreign and unengaging and left me thinking free was the appropriate price. Last weekend at C2E2's Digital First Comics panel, Mark Waid, James Tynion IV, John D Roberts, Peter Krause and Troy Peteri discussed the aspects of digital comics that distinguish them from print One thing unanimously agreed upon was the iPad[...]

Silver Age Craig Shutt moderates an Silver Age Trivia Challenge between Mark Waid and 5 fans The fans are:Mike Chary, Jason Fliegel, Mike Sangiacomo, Jim Caldwell and Doug Tonks The microphone is by the 5 fans so you can hear them deliberate their answers A mix of Marvel and DC questions were asked about a[...]

And this is what we learned. Mark Waid really is one nicest creators in the industry I've ever met Marcio Takara also echoed the same sentiment when I asked him to sign my paperback copy of "The Incredibles: Family Matters;" Mark also signed it with a copy of 52 #7. Anyway, just speaking with him from my[...]

Gamma would indicate the Hulk, the heartbeat the transformation… could it be the heartbeat being heard by someone? That red against black… Daredevil? Mark Waid writes Hulk and Daredevil for Marvel Could Project Gamma be a Daredevil/Hulk crossover written by Waid? UPDATE: Apparently not As has been pointed out to me, SXSW only generally announced techy stuff[...]

And both included Mark Waid. The first was in 2003, when Marvel Comics' EVP Bill Jemas decided to fire Waid and Mike Weiringo from Fantastic Four, when Waid declined to write the book as he described as a "suburban dramedy." Jemas hired playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa to take the book on There was internet outrage and within[...]

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[...]

With the bonus, they were quick to point out, that not one Marvel PR rep was there to hush them abruptly. While the panel was surprisingly free from story revelations, it did offer a rare, candid look at the creative process for these shapers of worlds. Panelists included Editors Sana Amanat (Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy), and[...]
