Yeah, I’ll admit it. When I read the headline yesterday that there were new Batman titles coming, I sort of rolled my eyes. Being derisive from the jump doesn’t pay, folks. Because one of these fucking comics is being written by Becky fucking Cloonan, and there is a collection of talent throughout both titles. Consider me persuaded.

I have no idea if DC Comics is a good guy. I’m going to assume they’re actually not, but why let beliefs get in the way of headlines? Or maybe I’m wrong. I’m just some Communist Asshole waging a war against THE MAN on my MacBook. #Fraudlent Anyways. What I do know is that the company has instituted a new payment plan that reflects digital sales, which is pretty fucking gnar. Gnarltacular. That sort of horse shit.

Wolverine writer Paul Cornell is weighing in on the source of one of comics’ eternal debates. The life, death, and resurrection of Capes. According to the guy who is going to have a hand in Killing Wolverine this Autumn, we shouldn’t sweat the death and resurrection cycle. Instead we should appreciate the story. What say you?

Dustin Nguyen with some TOTS ADORBS (shut up) Marvel artwork.

OH YEAH MAN, NATURALLY. In a concept so fucking gnarly it could work (and because it’s written by Quentin I will buy), Tarantino is co-plotting a fucking Django/Zorro crossover comic with Matt Wagner.

Oh lord. Frank Miller would like to write Captain America. And if there’s anything you can count on when it comes to Miller, it’s the nuance of a shotgun blast, and the level-headedness of a jingoist. No thanks.

CONTROVERSIAL COMMENT: I think Alex Ross can sit on it. Sit on what? A fucking firecracker that I’ve tricked him into thinking is a prostate massager. I find the dude pretentious, dismissive, and the rocker (at least in the past) of a ridiculous ponytail. That batch of pointless, self-condemning hate aside, I find his artwork gnarly. Here’s some new artwork of his.

I clearly need to be paying more attention to Rick Remender’s run on Uncanny Avengers. Through no fault of his own, I’ve sort of wavered in and out of his stories. Picking them up when I remember, forgetting them most of the time like a fucking dumb ass I mean — reading the announcement of the upcoming Axis event in October was out of control. Red Skull has the telepathy of Professor X? And the powers of Onslaught? Sign me up.

Remember that story about Rocket Raccoon‘s first issue totaling like 300,000 in orders? Well it turns out that a solid 100,000+ of them are from Loot Crate. That “Monthly Box of Dope Swag for Geeks” service that I’ve been fighting the urge to get into for a couple of months. So while that puts a different spin on the number of issues being ordered for Rocket, it also means that a whole lot of people are getting to be getting a look at the Rabid Prick. Which is neat. Yes, yes. Seed the Geek Earth with Guardians fans. Let them become acolytes. Plus! 200,000 issues ordered is still really fucking impressive.

How the fuck did I not know that Dustin Weaver was publishing his own glorious, free sci-fi comic book online? Fuck me sideways while wearing a Reagan mask. The jam is called Amnia Cycle, and at first blush it looks fucking radical. I’ve been a fan of The Weave (no one calls him that, just me, I’m a piece of shit) since his run on SHIELD with Hickman. Then he ripped it up on Infinity. But I’ll be goddamned if the prospect of seeing his own universe doesn’t seem just as exciting as either of those beauties.
