Bob Schreck, one of the industry’s best regarded editors, has left his position as Senior Editor at IDW to start a comics division for Legendary Pictures (not Entertainment, as the IDW release states), according to PR that just went out. The parting was amicable.

Legendary Pictures, founded by Thomas Tull, has produced such films as Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Hangover, Inception, and Where the Wild Things Are, so the connection to starting their own comics company is pretty obvious and Schreck is well qualified to start such an effort.

Several readers were offended by this post, in which I snarked a bit on my old friend Kyle Baker for letting his name domain lapse. Although I know Kyle well enough to know he wouldn’t have been bothered, I took down the post and contacted Kyle on Facebook (since his kyle@kylebaker.com email no longer worked) and we had a brief correspondence. And then he posted Whatever Happened To Kylebaker.com? which is a total history of the portfolio website and the internet in one. Basically he felt the website was out of date and supplanted by social media, and newer ventures were more business targeted:

It happens so seldom that it must be celebrated. Nick Gurewitch’s much missed webcomic has a new strip out this week.

Gurewitch dramatically scaled back production of his popular strip in February, 2008, citing a desire to stay fresh and work on some multimedia projects. He’s been disappointingly quiet since then. Come back, Nick! Come back! We need you!

There also seemed to be quite a number of people that didn’t buy tickets and just came to stand around the ExCel centre [...]
