It’s episode 034 people!

And inside this episode we review Jeremy Whitley and M. Goodwin’s Princeless #3, and an Advance Review of Joe Keatinge and Ross Campbell’s Glory #23.  We also talk about the hotly contested Wonder Woman #8 cover, which is stirring up a surprising amount of controversy.  We then have an interview with the wonderfully charming and incredibly talented Duane Swierczynski, who’s writing one of our favorite DC books – Birds of Prey! Lastly, we give Chick of the Week to the late Kim Yale, and discuss Sue’s efforts to revive the Kim Yale Award which sadly became defunct with the dissolving of Friends of Lulu last year.

I bitch and moan (fairly regularly) during Drunk Cover Solicits about being tired of “split face” covers where a comic character’s face is split down the middle. I think I even said recently that I was officially over those kind of covers.

Well, sometimes it’s damn good to be wrong.  Check out this dynamic completely badass Ross Campbell Glory #24 cover (which is issue #2 since its “re-start”).  “Split face” and all, it’s awesome.

A new She Has No Head! is up and it’s my Third Annual Awesome Women In Comics Holiday Gift List…head on over and see what 2011 gifts you should be giving…or asking for!

Some of you may have heard that X-23 has been canceled.

This is sad news, as X-23 is one of the only (the only? I’ll have to double check) female led titles over at Marvel. While the art teams on the book have not worked for me consistently, Marjorie Liu has been delivering a very well-written book throughout the run, and when she was doing it with phenomenal artist Phil Noto, it was one of the best books I was reading, so this is a real shame.

I can’t help but wonder if a better and clearer artistic vision for the book and covers that better reflected the story inside might have helped this title, but I guess we’ll never know. I’ll be sad to see it go, thanks Liu for some great work with a character I never expected to have such affection for, X-23.

And here, in an exceptional example of a horrible costume being nicely reworked, is a commission of X-23 from Peter Nguyen:
