And now, the finale of...Please choose wisely.VERY dramatically.Although there are exceptions.Or even a glow that men admire in the reanimated corpse of a teenager possessed by incorporeal aliens from another dimension.Finally, as for clothing, remember there are three outfits that every girl's closet should have: a little black dress, a summer frock, and...a lemon-lime safari outfit with bulls-eye scarf.

Here's how this works: I finish reading something, and I tell you about it, and I try not to bore you to death. Today: reviews of Hellblazer: Tainted Love (DC/Vertigo, 1998), Modesty Blaise: Yellowstone Booty (Titan, 2008) and Sand Land (Viz, 2004).In many of DC's contemporary collected editions, a little work on the part of some editors is sorely missed. This one, assembled before their line got so slapdash, is reader-friendly to the point of including an introduction, explaining recent events [...]

How utterly cool are these Ashley Wood-designed Bertie figures? Compare these very detailed finished versions with (what look to be wooden?) early designs on Ash’s own blog from last year.

CBR reports that Dabel Brothers is adapting the first of Jim Butcher’s popular (and frankly bloody brilliant) Dresden Files novels, Storm Front, for comics, beginning this autumn; Mark Powers is down to write, with Adrian Syaf again on art duties following his run on DB’s first crack at the world of Harry Dresden, Welcome to the Jungle (penned by Jim Butcher himself). Hopefully this will introduce more readers to the delights of the Dresden series, which are one of my absolute [...]
...and that they're (hopefully) giving away for free to their customers?Please enjoy these eBay listings.
from Batman #85 (Aug 1954), reprinted in Batman #182 (Jul/Aug 1966)Looking at the dates of the two different printings of this story...and, in fact, of all the panels I've posted this week...I'm always a tiny bit surprised that it's so short of a gap. Twelve years doesn't seem that long, but, then again, conventional wisdom at the time was that comics' readership experienced significant turnovers, with most readers only sticking around for a few years (or months). Twelve years was probably [...]

I was at Book Expo Canada a few weeks back and I intimated to a colleague that, for the first time in years, I couldn’t really “see” the shape of the manga market anymore. I had a pretty good handle on it up until the Kodansha rumours and Tokyopop flailing kicked in, but with companies leaving the market, with the Borders bankruptcy, with big reshuffles, with the Viz original content program, I guess I just lost track of it all.

Today the Arcadian idyll turned into something an awful lot more like work. TV interviews all morning, press conference all afternoon. Oh well.Neil,I'm in Campinas-Brasil, and it's a 5-hours-car trip to Paraty. If I get there, most likely on Saturday, where can I find you since I don't have a ticket to Flip? I really, REALLY would love to have you sign one of books. I, like many in this sunny country am a major fan of yours. I REALLY love [...]

Yesterday Ellen and I went to the big fireworks display in Atlantic City put on by the Borgata and Harrah’s casinos on the bay side of town. I had brought my camera hoping to get some pictures, but the batteries in the camera were dead, so instead I’ve had to steal this photo from the web, taken from across the back bay, and probably last year. The display was put on by Grucci, and was indeed spectactular with two or [...]

I was asked to create a “sinister-looking flower” to accompany an article about microenvironments and cancer for the McGill News. I had a lot of fun with the colours. I wanted them to be a little unsettling but also a little Sci-Fi.

The word about the Exodus guys came to us during what was probably THE very first independent comics-related event… a one day mini comics convention if you will, in front of Platinum Comics one day in 1994. It was the first time ever that the various burgeoning comic book groups met in one place. The word about Exodus was that which came the loudest because we heard that they’ve got some really REALLY good artists. There was a long table [...]

Coming out of the UK later this summer is JACK KIRBY QUARTERLY #15 (for those confused by the numbering, I don’t think #13 and #14 were ever widely distributed outside the UK. See comments for clarification on numbering). Copies can be pre-ordered now via ebay, and it will reportedly be available through comic shops via the usual distribution channels, but not for several months after it’s available for mail order. ebay.co.uk link ebay.com link Details below, many scans of interior pages [...]

The Comic Book Haters are celebrating the Fourth of July in grand style, with the debut of their live-action Video Podcast. For the first time ever, on the very-small screen, see DJ Sloofus, Schooly G, and Umbrellaman review an actual comic book. The comic in question is Josh Latta's anthropomorphic sensation, "Rashy Rabbit." Latta has been creating Rashy stories for several years now, all of which are worthy of wider attention. Self-publishers who would like to be featured on future episodes [...]

The Luv Luv line of explicit manga for women continues, and the quality is still disappointing. Like the other books, this one contains a set of short stories by the same author. You can see the pasted-together nature of the stories — pick a quirk, bolt it onto a character, shove in requisite sex scene whether it fits or not — from the cover, where the tongue and the spoon seem like afterthoughts, edited into a generic image, and the perspective’s [...]
