‘AMAZING SPIDER-MAN’ writer Dan Slott getting death threats over his final issue. Weak sauce ++
Dan Slott’s final and controversial issue of Amazing Spider-Man isn’t out, and yet he is already receiving death threats. The ending which leaked online last week is a bit spicy to say the least, and that has sadly led to various douche-noggins threatening the writer through social media.

JAMIE FOXX talks about Electro’s costume and story in ‘AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2’, I nod.
I keep forgetting that Django is going to be starring as the villain in Amazing Spider-Man 2. Mr. Foxx himself recently sat down and elaborated all about the Electro guy he is going to be playing, taking us fanboys and fangirls into the motivations behind the, you know, pretty lame supervillain.
BUTCHER BILLY inserts old-school MARVEL ART into superhero movies.
This is some outrageously fantastically swell endeavoring, right here. Artist Butcher Billy has taken old school Marvel artwork and interjected it into movies from the House of Ideas. The results are disjointed bliss.
Alan Moore’s ‘NEONOMICON’ pulled from South Carolina library.
Deep down inside, I know that I disagree with a library’s decision to yank Neonomicon from the shelves. I do. I appreciate the need to combat censorship, that sort of thing. On a more visceral level however, I can’t be too offended. While a bit heady in places, Moore’s entire series is slathering in the jizz of mythical monster orgies and ultra violence. Like, seriously.
Gaiman Foundation donates $60,000 to Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Frak yeah.
Neil Gaiman is stepping up into the fray. The good sir has donated a lovely amount of funds through his foundation to Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
Grant Morrison responds to Alan Moore’s continual trash talking. It’s on!
Alan Moore doesn’t like Grant Morrison. That shouldn’t be surprising. Alan Moore doesn’t like anything that isn’t wizardry, orgies involving mythical creatures, or giving birds a home in his beard. After taking a continual beating from everyone’s favorite comics scribe turned necromancer, Grant Morrison has responded to Moore’s criticism.
‘WALKING DEAD’ #1 goes for $10,000 on eBay. Oh, you choads.
My initial reaction is that any asshole who pays $10,000 for a comic book, let alone Walking Dead #1 is a dink of the highest order. But then my brain is all like, “Dude, what if they have the money to spare and they rightly assume they can flip it for a higher price down the road?” My bipolar brain wrangles with itself for a bit, I take a swig of Dew, and forget the entire quandary.
DC “pulling back” on variant covers. Despite release FIFTY-TWO variants of ‘JLA’ #1. Lawl.
Don’t ever start making sense, DC. I’d hate to take you pig-greasers seriously. Or rather, take the minds at the top making all the puke-covered decisions. I take a lot of the creative minds at the joint very seriously. The latest noise coming out of their Den is that they plan on pulling back on variant covers. This is said, of course, in light of the news that they’re dropping fifty-two variants for JLA #1.
‘HELLBLAZER’ is cancelled, to be integrated into New 52. F**k everything.
Hellblazer has been cancelled. Don’t worry, folks! It’s going to be stripped of its edge, declawed, and integrated into the DCU proper. This is so, so, so fucking dumb. No, hey. It’s cool. Dan DiDio is supremely proud of the title. This is why he has axed it, and is going to neuter the fantastic John Constantine. As an aside, if you haven’t read Garth Ennis’ ridiculous delicious run on the title, use this bad news to motivate you.
