DC Comics creative changes on stories from solicitation to publication for the month of January 2010, not including material released tomorrow morning (January 27) that has not had the credits page released in preview form.
Let me know if I missed any announcements that weren’t postings of preview pages.
Catwoman #83 - Fabian Nicieza & Julian Lopez [...]
Welcome to another round of FBB linkblogging, brought to you by your friendly Jamaal. All opinions expressed below are those of the author, and do not reflect the official position of the FBB mob.
(1) True Stories of the Core Marvel Universe , in which Chris Sims points out that the Marvel Universe is wacky! [...]
Dear Listeners,
Did you enjoy the Listener Questions segment of our hundredth episode? Did you hate it because we didn’t answer your question? Do you still have a burning question for Joe?
Well, you have another chance to ask questions in a new ongoing segment. You can leave a question in the comments, or dare to take [...]
Okay, maybe not, but look at his hair. Look at it!
Oxendine is running for governor in Georgia, and was brought to my attention thanks to this amazing cartoon campaign ad, which is well worth watching. If a follow-up ad depicts a political opponent as a spider, somebody track down Mark Millar and shoot him for [...]
From this week’s Incredible Hulk #602, by Greg Pak and Ariel Olivetti:
Incredible Hulk #602
versus
Legends Comics & Books
You know, if they just had Greg Land doing Ariel Olivetti’s backgrounds and Olivetti doing Land’s, at least then we’d get one readable comic and one hilariously horrific piece of shit rather than two painful comics.
It should also show up in iTunes
If anyone cares, we were using podPress to manage our podcasts. Its developers abandoned it over a year ago, and so we had no support when it refused to serve our new podcast to iTunes. We have switched to Powerpress from the fine folks at Blubrry. The only [...]
Last week’s X-Factor featured a “cliffhanger” kiss between Shatterstar and Rictor, something making the rounds on the Internet as “mainstream comics book world’s first gay kiss“. While any good publicity is, well, good, this is not Team Comics’s First Gay Kiss. It’s not even the X-Men’s first gay kiss: I’m pretty sure that honor belongs [...]
We’re quickly approaching the summit of the [Batmaan Death] March to One Hundred! This Momentous Occasion will be celebrated with Funnybook Babylon’s first Listener Mailbag segment! And like the British Parliament, no questions will be barred!
So whether you want to vent about how the gentleman from Bay Ridge is a simpering idiot for not liking [...]
On the worst day of the year for single people and absent-minded married men, Team FBB stood back and thought of the things that we love about comics. We capped it at 25 so that this series of articles would be completed sometime this year. One interesting thing that I came across while compiling my [...]
I’ve said it before! Are they trying to make each book seem soulless and artistically uninspired at this point?
This weekend DC announced ten new titles, exactly one of which (Keith Giffen’s new Doom Patrol) was announced with a creative mind in tow.
FBB will be attending the New York Comic Con, and with any luck will be posting coverage throughout the weekend. We’ll also be wrapping up the con with a special podcast, which we promise will not be a posse cut this time, though we’re not ruling out guest stars.
If you’re attending the show would like [...]
What most of the people involved with this site know about Jon Bernhardt but you, the Anonymous Reader, do not is that he, much like everyone else who reads comics, would like to write comics, preferably in exchange for money and some press. You know, a Newsarama interview or two every six months, followed by [...]
Not really comics-related, but here goes:
This weekend 826NYC is holding a benefit event, its second annual “Scrabble for Cheaters” tournament. All proceeds go to 826NYC, a nonprofit writing lab and tutoring center in Brooklyn where I’ve volunteered for the past few years.
This year I am also competing in the SFC tournament as part [...]
Justice League of America #29
Why? Because they don’t!
A couple of weeks ago or so, I read an interview with Len Wein that involved his upcoming work - the Final Crisis: Secret Files, which I knew about, and the Superman/Batman Annual, but Justice League of America #29? That’s odd, a straight-up writer change? Why wouldn’t they [...]
As David posted earlier, Bill Willingham and others have used Spider-Man’s nod to Obamamania as a springboard to discuss how comic books have been taken over by liberals. You’d think that Ted Rall and Noam Chomsky are the current Editors-in-Chief at Marvel and DC the way they talk! Outspoken conservatives like Chuck Dixon and James [...]
