Wow, Kitty and Bobby didn't take long to start the lovey dovey crap. Nice to see they get to have a serious relationship with a grand total of less than ten comic issues.

In other awkward relationship news Superman and Wonder Woman now an item.

Yay or Nay on the new supes couple?

Starting reading The Walking Dead comic again. I've just been introduced to the governor and the story is also starting to do a bit more with Michonne - who is a goddamn badass by the way. I'm looking forward to reading the next few issues since both the governor and Michonne will play a big role in the upcoming TV season. It'll be fun to compare and contrast their TV versions from their comic book counterparts.

I wish there was a consistent source of info on comics. I have so much trouble with some, especially when I look for a specific run, or if I'm looking for a certain "season". (Season isn't the right word, I mean as in whenever a series starts over, ala the recent Iron Man reboot.)

Also, besides stuff from DC, Marvel, and ID, it can be a bit of a bitch to find info on, especially with some of the series from Dark Horse. (If it isn't Hellboy or The Goon, finding info is kinda hard)

Comic Collector Live has like every issue cataloged with creator credits, release dates, characters appearances, issue number, etc. And for more personal reviews and not such a "hard facts" look, ComicVine is a great source.

I get trades when I can. Comic Collector Live works for sure, but I'm still iffy on figuring how it works. I'll look into ComicVine.

Judd Winick leaving “Batwing”



Saying that he’s pursuing other projects that “make it impossible” for him to continue doing a monthly book, “Batwing” writer Judd Winick has announced he plans to leave the title at an as-yet-unannounced date.

In a statement to Newsarama’s Vaneta Rogers, Winick said his leaving the title is “simply a time issue." He told Rogers last month that he is writing and drawing on an all-ages graphic novel.

Although he could not confirm his final issue, Rogers points out that he is solicited as the writer of the title through at least issue #14.

Winick left “Catwoman,” the other DC Comics title he helped relaunch last year as a part of the New 52 initiative, earlier this year. Writer Ann Nocenti takes over “Catwoman” with September’s “zero” issue. He also wrote September’s “zero” issue of “Green Arrow.”

The announcement comes at the end of a somewhat chaotic week for DC Comics regarding their talent, as Rob Liefeld announced he has left “Deathstroke,” “Grifter” and “Hawkman” in order to “preserve my sanity.” DC Comics has not revealed their future plans for "Batwing," "Hawkman," "Grifter" or "Deathstroke" yet, but stayed tuned to CBR for more news as it hits.

What's going at DC Comics? First Liefeld, then Winnick.

What are you iffy on? I've been a member for years and I'm sure I can answer any questions, if not I can point you to the guy that can.

New Members Announced for JUSTICE LEAGUE
The team is getting really big suddenly.
By Tony 'G-Man' Guerrero | Aug. 26, 2012

We've seen the issue where it was shown that the Justice League refused to allow other members to join the team. Something really big went down with Martian Manhunter. Green Arrow was determined to join but they would't have anything to do with him. All that's about to change.

Today at Fan Expo, it was announced that the roster is changing, big time.



You should notice one difference. This is going to be JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. Geoff Johns will be joined by David Finch and the team will be under the guidance of Steve Trevor. On the team we see Vibe, Catwoman, Martian Manhunter, the new Green Lantern, Stargirl, Katana, Hawkman and Green Arrow.

You can check out an interview with Johns and Finch over at MTV Geek.

What do you think about this roster? Does this team make sense? We'll see more of this in 2013. Are you ready for another Justice League comic?
