Nova #3: Marvel turns tricks cheaply
Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso is fond of pointing out that the new #1 issues in the Marvel NOW! initiative are not reboots; just because there are new creative teams on various books ignoring completely some of the things that came before, it’s nothing like what their Distinguished Competitors did in September 2011. Well, the second-most-useless …

Massive Batman Inc #8 Spoiler
DC Comics has apparently gone completely out of their way to spoil Batman Inc. #8, coming out this Wednesday, giving a four-page preview and the results of the issue to THE New York Post. Needless to say, SPOILER ALERT. You have been warned. If you whine about it after this, I would advise you to …

10/13/12: Caitlin T. McCormack art opening @ South Philly Comics
Back in March, South Philly Comics had a juried art show with a half-dozen or so artists. The most popular of those, judging from the number of pieces sold, was Cailtin T. McCormack, who constructs models of strange people doing strange things, then photographs them. Now, seven months later (and just in time for Halloween!), …

Goodbye DC, hello “Extreme”
Rob Liefeld has quit DC Comics, following it with a couple dozen rants on Twitter about DC and, oddly, about Marvel’s Tom Brevoort. Liefeld was writing (horribly) Deathstroke, Savage Hawkman and Grifter, and supplying the art (I use the term loosely) for Deathstroke.

Discuss: What is so exciting about #1s?
With MarvelNow! just around the corner, and a year out from the beginning of DC Comics’ New 52 launch, what is the big deal with #1 issues? If they happen organically, great, but when it’s a jaded attempt to get people to buy more of your books, especially when a goodly number of your titles …

MarvelNow finally has some good news… from the Mormons
Yes, the same religion that gave us Mitt Romney is also giving us the art for the new FF series. Mike Allred, fresh from his run on iZombie, will be drawing the adventures of Medusa, She-Hulk, Ant-Man and some chick in a Thing exoskeleton while the Fantastic Four and their kids are off running rampant …
