Cover of the Week – 7/20/11

July 23, 2011 in art, artists, comics, comics news, DC Comics | Permalink

I don’t love the face on this Adam Hughes Zatanna #15 cover (it’s very pretty but doesn’t actually look very much like Zatanna to me), but it’s otherwise a really beautiful. The way she emerges out of the black is just wonderful and the integration of her title block into the image is fantastic, making it all look very clean and simplified.

Womanthology!

July 7, 2011 in awesomeness, comics, comics news, idw, kickstarter | 6 comments

Help make this amazing all female anthology – WOMANTHOLOGY – the vision of artist Renae De Liz – a reality via kickstarter.

Tons of great female talent is already on board, both new upcoming talent and long and awesomely established talent – including Gail Simone, Devin Grayson, Fiona Staples, Ming Doyle, Stephanie Buscema, Mariah Huehner, Collen Doran, Chrissie Zullo, Ann Nocenti, Trina Robbins, and so many more. IDW is publishing, and they’ve raised 20% of their funds in the first three hours, so get on board while there’s still time!

Yours truly is hoping to be involved, but I missed the cut off to write for this first issue, so I may have to wait till the second round. Despite all that…you should support it anyway. It’s a great thing, and I expect some amazing stories.

Help make it possible by donating to Kickstarter today!

Last Year’s Birthday Wishes…

June 28, 2011 in comics, comics news, comics should be good, CSBG, fun stuff, she has no head! | 6 comments

So last year I did a post I really enjoyed, about my 12 Birthday Wishes, since my She Has No Head! column fell on my birthdate.

While recording 3 Chicks this week, Sue asked if I was doing it again, and I said no. I didn’t do it again because A) my column didn’t fall on my exact birthday and B) it was a lot of work, and I was tired. But in looking at the post again I realized that I ALSO didn’t do it because of secret reason C) which is that it was “too depressing” – i.e. short of Stumptown #4 coming out and me buying myself some things, pretty much NONE of my birthday wishes came true. I guess you could make an argument that #11 sort of came true since Marvel did the excellent Strange Tales this past year, but short of that, all my awesome wishes remain painfully unfulfilled. So sad. Head on over to the original post to check those awesome unfulfilled wishes out.
