Greetings Earthlings!

When I saw this press release I was excited about Jaime Hernandez and Ann was excited about Scott Turow. May have to start getting the Sunday Times. Which I imagine is what they wanted. Curse their effective marketing!

(  JAIME HERNANDEZ WRITES THE STRIP IN NYTIMES MAGAZINE )

Another sick comics creator. Flaming Carrot is another one those comics that helped shaped my tastes to what they are now.

Just a quick note Bob Burden is currently recovering in the Northside Hospital ICU from a stomach virus contracted visiting New Orleans two weeks ago. He underwent surgery yesterday morning if you could get the word out to fans to send cards and prayers that would be must appreciated. Cards can be sent to

Burden is the creator of The Flaming Carrot and Mystery Men.

I am very geeked about Having Paul Dini and JH Williams III on the same comic but I wonder what this means for Desolation Jones. JH Williams can no way do two books. Warren Ellis had the following to say on Bad Signal...

FIRST: PLEASE don't respond to this email. I'm going on
holiday in the morning and I really don't want this to break
my email box, okay?

SECOND: Yes, JH Williams just said at Newsarama that
he's going to be drawing BATMAN fulltime.

THIRD: Wildstorm and I were not ready for a public
comment. And, for God's sake, I'm going on holiday
in the morning. So this is going to have to wait until
next week and everybody is just going to have to cope.

All I can say is this has been the best Superman since Alan Moore did "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" And yes I am a Morrison fanboy.

( Award for No Surprise There )

Another Bryne Book bites it. What a shame. Not.

( Award What You Mean Final Issue?!?! )

Final issue? What do they mean final issue?

( Award for L0N's childhood memories )

This is great no people will witness the madness of Power Girls growing "assets" as started by the legendary Wally Wood. DC 70's cheese at its best.

( Award for Imitating Camelot 3000 #12 )

Number one of this mini started came out when I was still managing 21C two years ago! I dont like rewarding insanely late comics, but its Elric and Walter Simonson art, so please please forgive my weakness.

( Award for Spin-offs )

I love Willingham's Fables, but I am always leary of spin-offs of good comics. Its hard to catch lightning twice.

Hopefully more of the Diamond July shipping will be posted and I can be silly tomorrow.
