I was flabbergasted. The New Crusaders and The Fox Preview from Red Circle Comics (a division of Archie Comics) Red Circle Comics had a sizable presence at NYCC with a panel all their own, but The New Crusaders, which I had been hearing about for awhile, are pretty helpful to understanding the soon to be launched series[...]

For Dan Greenfield's new blog, 13th Dimension, Mark Waid has written the following… As the vast majority of publishers and retailers turned on me for preaching heresy and descended upon me like a fat kid on a chocolate cake, I maintained that the Old Ways were doomed to die more quickly than we could imagine and that[...]

His line-up included Dean Haspiel (The Fox), Ryan Jampole (Sonic and MegaMan), Jamal Peppers (Sonic and MegaMan), and Mike Cavallaro (MegaMan).

The Terrors Return, The Future Fights Back, The Power Consumes, The Nightmares Are Real. Suddenly this makes sense of a conversation I had in a Manhattan

We can now add Mark Waid into the writing group of Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente and Frank Barbiere We also have "The Nightmares Are Real…" to go with "The Future Fights Back…" "The Terrors Return…" and "The Power Consumes…".

Recently, Image Comics publisher Eric Stephenson talked about the bullying of comic creators by big companies. Mark Waid, ex-DC editor, ex-Boom editor-in-chief, current Thrillbent publisher has written "An Open Letter To Young Freelancers" It's hard not to see it as a criticism specifically of reported DC Comics editorial actions of late, a publisher who Waid has[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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.
