SDCC 2012: New Neil Gaiman Sandman With J.H. Williams III
07/12/2012 by 35 Comments
It’s the 25th anniversary of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman. Could DC let this go by without new material? No. And not only did they get Gaiman to agree to do a new tale, they got a real artist’s artist to illustrate it in the form of J.H. Williams III. Technically, this sounds like it will be a prequel, if not a prologue, to the original series. It should end just as the original issue #1 is about to begin.

SDCC 2012: Evil Ernie Returns In October From Dynamite
07/12/2012 by Leave a Comment
Back in the 90s, Evil Ernie was hot book for awhile. Brian Pulido and Stephen Hughes had a hot run with the Chaos! Comics imprint, which also featured Lady Death (yes, that was when Bad Girls were at their peak). Dynamite acquired most of the Chaos! intellectual property, back in 2010 (Lady Death is over at Avatar). This looks to be the first book to come out from that IP family.

Archaia Announcements: Space: 1999 Goes Digital Before Print and a Cyborg 009 Remake
07/12/2012 by 5 Comments
Archaia is another company that’s throwing its hat in the growing category of “digital release, then print.” Certainly, digital comics are an increasingly common thing, but the relationship between digital and print is still evolving. They’re taking a direction with a couple titles that I think will end up being fairly common. They’re also adapting/remaking a classic manga title.

Props to Jimmy Fallon for bringing us this delightfully odd version of Batman.
All he had to do was take a recent trailer for The Dark Knight Rises and let Paul Reubens re-dub the dialogue in his Pee Wee Herman persona. The results are… well, see for yourself.
