SEAN MURRAY draws “BIRDMANCER”, and we all win.
I need to get back on the “sharing dope artwork” grind. Here is a wonderful Birdmancer done up by Sean Murray. It’s froggy fresh. Filler laudatory adjectives.
Wee!
Marvel reveals NEW MS. MARVEL. A Muslim Teenager From New Jersey. Diversity, Get!
Dope. Even as Galactus is trying to eat Miles Morales’ ass or whatever in the Ultimate Universe (Gross, bro! He’s a minor), Marvel isn’t done punching up their line-up with some diversity. The Company That Believes in Simultaneous Events has revealed the new Ms. Marvel, and she is a Muslim teenager from New Jersey.
Jeff Lemire is creating SUPERHEROINE based on REAL LIFE TEEN ACTIVIST. Lemire ++
Jeff Lemire is a solid dude. All the dope titles. Creating a superhero team for the Brothers Omega’s motherland. But now he’s upping his solidness. Doing himself one better. Lemire is going to be creating a superheroine for Justice League of Canada based off of a real life teen activist.
‘DAREDEVIL’ ENDING with ISSUE #36. Well f**k.
There really isn’t a spin on Daredevil ending that isn’t going to aggravate the shit out of me. If the title is being killed because of poor sales — fuck that. If the title is “ending” so that yet another fucking Marvel title can be relaunched again — fuck that. I fear the latter. ‘Cause these days Marvel really seems keen on relaunching titles, and shitting on the concept of accessibility (volume…6…issue 1…but before the uh….Heroic Age first issue…uhhhh).
MIRACLEMAN returning in 2014. GAIMAN FINALLY FINISHING HIS RUN.
Well, shoot. I had completely forgotten that Marvel bought Miracleman. Can’t blame myself, since pretty much nothing has happened since they made purchase. However, that shit ends up! Or…in a couple of months.The Company That Loves The Word NOW! is going to begin reprinting the classic tales starting in 2014. After they finish the long-awaited game of catch-up, things get a bit crazier. Neil Gaiman is going to finally get to conclude his arc which has been sitting around for a hot minute.
‘BLACK WIDOW’ MONTHLY COMIC dropping courtesy of EDMONDSON AND PHIL F**KING NOTO
Fuck to the yiggity yes. Lame intro? Fuck you! I rule this roost with mediocrity and stupidity! Anyways. There is a Black Widow monthly coming, and the team behind it is stacked with wunder-prowess. Nathan Edmondson? Check. Phil fucking Noto? Check. Underlined. Starred.

‘BATTLING BOY’ character AURORA WEST getting her OWN PREQUEL
I haven’t read Battling Boy yet. It’s just sitting on my counter. Daring me to love it. Hopefully this long weekend. Even so, I can’t help but be excited about a prequel starring one of its characters.

Buy These Flippin Comics!!! (10.02.2013) Rafael Grampa is Like a Mix Between Fergie and Jesus
No hyperbole in those words folks. No disclaimer. No caveats. Rafael Grampa is one of the greatest artists in the comic/pop art world today. So what we have to wait with baited breath for his forever-delayed Dark Horse mini-series “Furry Water”? So what he takes time away from drawing to shill vodka and play drums in a band? Not since Paul Pope have we had a rock start artist that backed up his reputation with truly dynamic and iconic visuals. The dude is a dream. This week he’s got three pieces available for us jokers to get our grubby mitts on. Hit the jump and let’s chat about them and some other comic books of note hitting the shelves Wednesday!
DC APOLOGIZES for asking aspiring artists to draw NAKED, SUICIDAL HARLEY QUINN. Ridiculous.
The craziest part of this story is that none of it is from the rotting membranes of my filth-dome. DC comics really is this fucking stupid. Especially since this nonsense occurred the same week that they essentially jettisoned one of their more prominent auteur creators over stagnant, company-wide policies that allow for little growth or complexity. New 52! LOL.
BRIAN WOOD teases NEW COMIC following in the footsteps of ‘NORTHLANDERS.’
Northlanders died too young a death because you assholes were too busy buying the Civil War: Infinity Crisis 2: Secret Legion tie-ins to support the fledgling little Vikings comics. I spit on your corpse for that! But perhaps I shall find eternal peace now, a stoic repose, because Brian Wood seems to be hinting at a comic that shall follow in its footsteps. Sans Vikings. Or something. Fuck ya’ll.
