Lot 13 Deserves A Lot Of Attention
DC has been sitting on Lot 13 since it was first advertised as coming out under the Wildstorm (RIP) imprint And while we're on the topic, where's my goddamn Astro City monthly?! Now that they're finally releasing it, they are doing so with the same pomp and fanfare they gave Brian Wood's Supernatural mini: NONE[...]
The J Scott Campbell Austin Powers Comic That Never Was
One of a very few remaining posters that prove that, at one point, Wildstorm Comics pitched to make an Austin Powers comic book This poster, with art by J Scott Campbell, was created for the pitch. Naturally, it never went through, but we are left with this glimpse of what once was…   Just[...]

Wildstorm Invades Superman As Helspont Appears In Superman #8
Nothing can make the prescence of the Wildstorm Universe, truly rebooted within the new 52, quite as clear as the cover to Superman #8, to be published by DC Comics in April While the cover to Action Comics #8 features Superman and the Collectors, messing around with Bottle cities and Bottle people, the cover to[...]
Reach Of Daemonites In The DC New 52 Goes Further
We'd already seen mention of the Wildstorm alien race, the shape-shifting Daemonites, in the Wildstorm-originated books Stormwatch, Grifter and Voodoo. But this week's DC Comics All Access editorial page states that the Daemonite influence will also extend to Demon Knights, which makes some sense as it's the prototype in the past for Stormwatch in the present,[...]
Where In The World Is Wildstorm?
Fine, fine, fine. But what I want to know about is… Wildstorm and Vertigo continuity Seriously, everyone's been focused on a new DC reality, that they haven't quite realised that what were actually getting with the new DCU is not a rewritten DC Universe but some kind of merged universe[...]
Today, Wildstorm Enters Flashpoint (SPOILERS)
So, we knew with Voodoo, Stormwatch and Grifter, that Wildstorm would be embedding itself into the DC Universe relaunch after Flashpoint concludes. But did anyone know it is also happening in Flashpoint as well? And in the main central Flashpoint series too? Here's a scene from the new issue, Flashpoint #3 laying out the members of[...]
DC Relaunch: Who Is Jake Ellis' Nathan Edmondson To Write Grifter #1

Links to Bleeding Cool's complete DC relaunch coverage So I was discussing the DC Relaunch with a couple of friends in the pub And I was reminded of criticism aimed Bob Harras at Marvel that I once[...]
DC Relaunch: More From DC's Dark Side, Including Wildstorm!
This marks the return of Wildstorm to the DC Universe. I don't know how much DC will be dealing with Entertainment Weekly as they totally dropped the ball on this "dark" DC coverage Certainly a return for the DC Universe to the kind of material that was sequestered away by mature readers imprint Vertigo is worth[...]
DC Relaunch: Grifter #1
Bleeding Cool understands that the DC Relaunch will also bring back a number of Wildstorm titles, as part of the new DC Universe. Jim Lee's Wildstorm studio and books were closed down at the end of last year, the licensed and creator owned titles shifted to DC, the staff moved to DC Digital and the Wildstorm[...]
