March Comics Sales: IMAGE continues to grow; everybody loves The Bat-Man
Grow, Image! Grow! Swell up, and strike at the heart of the Mighty Two. Or at least keep pumping out all the creator-owned comic books that get my geek-lit-sequential-art-nipples hard.
Warner Bros. ALL FIXIN’ to announce NEW SERIES of DC-BASED flicks soon.
This makes sense, right? I mean, Warner Bros. has to like eventually announce their first full slate of movies. Good knows when though, since “soon”, could mean from next week all the way through SDCC.
Marvel teaming up EVERY SPIDER-MAN EVER in ‘SPIDER-VERSE.’ K.
Crisis on Infinite Spider-Verse! In October, Marvel along with Dan Slott with Olivier Coipel will be dropping the thickest batch of Spider-Load you can imagine. All sorts of fucking Spider-Guys fighting stuff! In fact — all the goddamn Spider-Folk. So while I generally wouldn’t check out a Spidey event, the return of Parker combined with Coipel handling the artwork has me intrigued.

Brandon Graham’s EMERALD CITY COMICON ART depicts creator-owned characters as attendees
Brandon Graham’s latest effort of inspired rockitude comes courtesy of the Emerald City Comicon. Graham has provided art for the convention which depicts a veritable fuckload of creator-owned characters just hanging out. Attending the convention. It’s a wonderful way to a) hype the con, b) pay tribute to the gnarly cavalcade of creator-owned characters out there, and c) give me a boner.

Bryan Singer has broken ‘DAYS OF FUTURE PAST’ on the Internet.
I say fucking god dammit! All a man wants to do is find the gorgeous, gorgeous covers to the Days of Future Past by John Byrne. But I don’t get that! Oh no! Instead I’m ocular-fucked by a cavalcade of heinous renditions of Quicksilver and shit. Jesus Lord save me. A thousand plagues of locust upon the House Singer! Upon the House Fox!

Japanese ‘SNOW CRASH’ book covers are totally 1337
Weird pop culture intersectionality today upside my head. While Googling for a Snow Crash cover to post over in my Sony vs. Oculus Rift post, I stumbled across these gorgeous covers for the Japanese edition of the novel. The weirdest part is that it was on also-personal-hero-alongside-Stephenson Brandon Graham’s…LiveJournal. The Internet is strange, man.
Check the covers after the jump.
