September 30, 2011 6:43 pm Generally, when a comic or any ongoing series has an unrelenting deadline and needs to be fixed fast (for whatever reason), you call someone that you know will get the job done. Then, with a finger firmly in the dike, you use the others to dial up the fresh crop of writers to get them started on something so you don't end up in the same fix.

We all know Casey will eventually be rebooted or relaunched.  iFanboy makes too much money off him what with the toys, the licensing, the t-shirts.  We'll eventually see him back, perhaps in a grittier version with more pouches.  Then again, he's a legacy character so we may see one of his kids show up and kick Josh in the shins.  Just enjoy the journey.

Great Kirkman interview and perfect button line.

July 6, 2011 11:25 am Thanks so much for posting this, Josh.  Fantastic use of line and ... well, everything you said.

June 9, 2011 12:13 am I think this batch is the MOST likely to appeal to non comic readers.   Even factoring in superhero blockbusters, there's way more fantasy and horror fans out there than spandex and cape fans.  But only IF they get some mainstream hype for the line.  If Superman and Batman get all the press, these will be hit or miss.

June 7, 2011 4:34 pm A topic that Ron didn't include: This is DC comics making a very strong statement that superhero comics are for adults.   I'm only going by covers but there's no images that makes me thing that a dad who is inspired by the commotion to try comics again would find anything to share with his kids.

If they're talking about reaching outside of the LCS, shouldn't their younger titles been part of the digital revolution?   Including the creation of some new action adventure titles? 

June 7, 2011 4:28 pm It's June, so by now all the creators are not only picked but their first issues should be finished and probably, given the scope of this project, the second or more of each of the new titles.  So the discussion is fun but it's a matter of DC publicity scheduling the reveals.   And since we're talking PR, there's a good chance that the biggest announcements, the ones that would most attract new readers, would be revealed closer to press time for maximum impact.

If they announced that John Stewart would be writing "All Star Squadron" or that Lady Gaga would be guiding the relaunch of "Fire and Ice" or any other celebrity that's guaranteed to make the non comics readers curious, you'd want them available digitally on that same day.   It's all about making an impulse buy.  Ideally the result of acting on that impulse is getting a great comic story.   So the biggest announcements might be weeks away... unless they're still worried about brick and mortar ordering.


 

May 2, 2011 6:42 pm I would hope the movie has more going for it than the element of surprise.   Do you really want to rewrite a great script because some pages are scene.  Was Hawk a better choice than Captain Atom?

HOWEVER, these guys might be moving into other media:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=741sTZgGInM
