Frank Quitely Draws GRANT MORRISON For Playboy. It’s Neat.
There’s a Grant Morrison interview in the May issue of Playboy, and it is accompanied by some artwork by Frank Quitely. It’s a pretty piece of artwork, throwing together Morrison with the various characters he has used as proxies for his mind-melting comic book technique. Most importantly: Jean Grey.

SAMUEL JACKSON and AGENT COULSON Come to MAINSTREAM MARVEL. Groancore.
Marvel foresees a problem. Their little indie flick coming out called Avengers has a character in it named Nick Fury who looks exactly like Samuel L. Jackson. When the aforementioned passion project drops, the three or four people who go from the theater to the comic shop looking for the old Nick Fury funny books (it isn’t going to happen) may get really, really confused when the mainstream character looks nothing like Deep Blue Sea shark-bait. Marvel’s got an answer for that conundrum. It’s just confusing. And stupid.

Going to BOSTON COMICON?
I’ll be there both days hanging out with the crew from Five and Dime comics. Stop by and say hello, buy a print, talk comics, or just skulk by and give me the finger.
AVENGERS x DINOSAURS = Earth’s Mightest Lizards. Amazing Art.
Terryl Whitlatch may be the man who designed Jar-Jar Binks for Episode I, but he also brought the world this unlikely mash-up. The Avengers all done up as dinosaurs. Tit for tat, I think a price has been paid. Oh who the fuck am I to judge, dude is talented and I’m a soggy-crotched geek.

WIZARD Teams Up With ‘THE SITUATION’ For Comic And Convention Appearances. Ah, F**k You.
Piss on my childhood and call it a water sports party! My lord. I know that Wizard is having a rough go of it, but this smacks of tanning beds and serious desperation. The company that once governed me through many a sweaty summer vacations with their articles and pricing guides are thudding at the floor of the well.
ERIK LARSEN Lobs Bombs At ‘BEFORE WATCHMEN’, I Nod In Agreement.
Erik Larsen has spouted off on Before Watchmen, and in doing so commented on a dilemma I’ve faced myself: the genuine abundance of talent on the franchise-pilfering money grab.
SHIA LEBEOUF Drops SELF-PUBLISHED Comics. So F**king Bad.
Watch out, Rob Liefeld. Your tendency for wonderfully deranged slop may be challenged by none other than The Kid From Transformers himself. Yep, Shia LaBeouf. Dude has entered the comics arena, and for once you’ll pray that the medium does croak. Oh, I’m kidding. They’re so fucking bad they rule.
Hit the jump for his uh, “work” and deets.
DC Drops First Look At ‘BEFORE WATCHMEN’ Pages. Oh Yeah Hey Awesome.
