Causing a Ruckus

Fetish Fix – VELVET and RECKLESS (Ed Brubaker)

It’s always good to have some Bru in your life. Finally got the 3rd and final-for-now volume of the excellent VELVET for the bookshelf, and the first hardcover volume of RECKLESS. Spy and crime comics for my funnybook dollars 👍🏾 #ImageComics #EdBrubaker #SteveEpting #SeanPhillips #Velvet #Reckless #ComicBookFetish #FetishFix

Happy Birthday 56th Birthday to Jim Lee

Today he turns 56. But is today truly a happy birthday for the uber talented, skilled and accomplished fella if he’s (rumored to be) losing his dual position as both Chief Creative Officer and Publisher of DC Comics 🤔 We’ll know soon what his new title/role will be in the restructured DC Comics. In a perfect world — that doesn’t exist — with his money, he should somehow buy back his WildStorm…

Jason Aaron’s The Goddamned at Vertigo, Scalped at Image?

According to Jason Aaron in his recent newsletter, things could’ve turned out very differently for the start of his career had DC Comics/Vertigo Comics accepted one of his other pitches.

“I first pitched what would ultimately become THE GODDAMNED in 2005, as GOD DAMNS, in a group of pitches I sent to Vertigo, along with SCALPED. A pitch that included some no doubt super enticing lines, like “GOD…

Marvel Takes Dig at DC with Variant Covers

Well . . . I guess DC missed the chance to punch first with “Comics on Sale Every Tuesday!” 😒 But DC historically tends to be above such digs anyway, so there’s that. DC’s “Holding the line at $2.99” was a great one tho. Anyway, my guess is this move won’t impress many comics buyers.

According to BLEEDING COOL via it’s main man Rich Johnston (quoted and linked below), the scuttlebutt currently making the rounds is that DC Comics might be giving its Vertigo imprint the ax!

Bleeding Cool has been informed by a number of sources this morning that DC Comics is planning to shutter its Vertigo imprint. This has come as quite a surprise to some, as I also understand that DC Comics…

DC Comics’ Issue One Renumbering – A Complete Reboot?

Bleeding Cool’s Rich Johnston is reporting on the rumor (leak?) that DC Comics will, in September, be essentially rebooting their entire comics line (DC Universe titles that is; naturally the mature readers/creator-owned line under the Vertigo imprint will be exempt from this). I think this radical move is brilliant and much needed. Especially if you consider that the DC Universe has been so…

I totally get why Chip Zdarsky doesn’t draw much anymore and has earned tons of writing assignments. Dude can WRITE! And he’s writing one of my absolute favorite characters. Now I gotta head back to the LCS to get the other issues that have come out.

Free Comic Book Day 2019 – The Haul, Y’all!

Compared to my Free Comic Book Day 2018’s far more robust haul, my FCBD 2019 package is, well, quite the opposite of robust. At any rate, this year’s Haul consists of:

ANIMOSITY TALES #0 (Aftershock), DEADLY CLASS: KILLER SET (Image), H1: IGNITION (Humanoids), MIDNIGHT SKY #0 (Scout), PUNCHLINE #1 (Antarctic), and ROBOTECH: EVENT HORIZON – Chapter 0 (Titant).
