Like Wicked Game? Want to meet some of the creators? Come meet me and letterer Mindy “Indy” Steffen (Daily Misfortune), this Saturday at Book Expo USA at the Jacob Javits Center!

Remember Booth 3151, the booth that rhymes with fun.
In one week DC Comics is re-starting their publishing line. If you haven’t heard about it you’ll start seeing ads on TV and online. Much ado has been made of this move with some loving it and some hating it. (You check out my take here) We won’t know until the books go on sale. However, when I was picking up my books today someone made a comment about “The New 52” being a stunt by DC to remain relevant. To an extent I think it is. But if DC wants to become relevant again and get people talking about their books, they need only look to their editorial department. They look to Karen Berger. Karen Berger is the Senior VP-Executive Editor of DC Comics’ Vertigo line, but should be promoted to Editor and Chief of DC Comics. (more…)
Happy New Year everyone! To kick things off I thought I’d post the second half of the “My Favorite Comics” series of posts with my favorites from DC.

In 2000, CrossGen Comics launched. Founded by millionaire Mark Alessi, CrossGen sought to expand the comics industry by forgoing super-hero titles and focusing on the Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Victorian Mystery, and Sword and Sorcery genres. Each of CrossGen’s titles stood on their own but was tied to a greater mythology thanks to a Sigil, which was the source of many characters powers.
The “sigil bearers” were supposed to join forces against a cosmic threat called the Negation in the mini-series, NEGATION WAR that would cap off four years of stories. Unfortunately, CrossGen went out of business after the second issue shipped? So what would’ve happened? Only NEGATION WAR writer Tony Bedard knew, until now…
I reached out to Tony to find out his plans for NEGATION WAR. Who’d live? Who’d die? How would the series end? Click to find out. (more…)
