In advance of this weekend’s Image Expo, Jamie McKelvie and Kieron Gillen are teasing a new book at iFanboy but given the Daft Punk reference, smart money is on a a new PHONOGRAM. Two previous minis about the magical powers of pop music were cult favorites, resulting in mainstream work for both, an X-Men gig for Gillen but also McKelvie’s famous quote about working on an indie book resulting in “a constant low level money anxiety.” Regardless, its return would be a joyful thing indeed.

Godfather Lawsuit is the Anti-Watchmen
02/22/2012 by Leave a Comment
As you may recall people are *ahem* sharply divided on the topic of DC Comics doing a Watchmen prequel. Certainly, Watchmen author Alan Moore doesn’t think it should happen.
