Good Guy DC Comics institutes new CREATOR PAYMENT PLAN. Factors in digital sales!
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.
Rosario Dawson cast in Marvel’s ‘DAREDEVIL’ TV show
Rosario Dawson has join the cast of Marvel and Netflix’s upcoming Corporate Synergy Butt Baby of love, Daredevil. This news is perfectly fine by me. My crush on Ms. Dawson has persisted at a quiet, unacknowledged simmer for over a decade now.
Vincent D’Onofrio cast as KINGPIN in “DAREDEVIL’ TV series
Looks like the Daredevil TV show is continuing to come together. A couple of weeks ago the show landed its Daredevil, and now they’ve locked down the actor playing his antagonist. That Conniving Bald-Headed Fuck will be played by none other than Vincent D’Onofrio.
‘ROCKET RACCOON #1’ poised to sell 300,000 copies. Furry Space Boner.
Skottie Young’s Rocket Raccoon #1 is poised to hit the shelves with the subtlety of a bazooka-toting raccoon! Get it? Rocket Raccoon loves his weapons, and he doesn’t seem very subtle? Eh whatever. The Young-powered title is looking like it’s going to drop on the market to the tune of 300,000 copies. I think it’s safe to say that the “risky” Guardians of the Galaxy movie is going to have a built-in star when it arrives.
Scott Derrickson directing MARVEL’S ‘DR. STRANGE.’
Marvel’s Dr. Strange is really happening, eh? Wild. The flick has found itself a director by way of Scott Derrickson, though I don’t know the good lad. Like, at all.
Rumor: Marvel putting the ‘FANTASTIC FOUR’ “ON HOLD” because the comic would HELP FOX PROMOTE MOVIE
OOPH! And we all thought that the Marvel/Edgar Wright split seemed unseemly. A more sordid rumor making its rounds is that Marvel is going to put Fantastic Four on hiatus because the comic will help promote Fox’s movie. Man. I mean. That’s seventy-shades of fucked up, to me. Pushing (at least) the pause button on Marvel’s First Family? As a strong arm tactic against the studio that owns the movie rights?? So fucking dumb.
Alan Moore reveals OPEN-SOURCE DIGITAL COMICS APP, ‘ELECTRICOMICS’
The Grand Warlock of the comics scene has announced an open-source digital comics app, appropriately (?) titled “Electricomics.” Which I probably spelled wrong. WHATEVER, YO. Anyways. The entire enterprise is still a bit murky. It’s a digital creation tool, for anyone? But it’s also an anthology starring Moore and others? Or both?
‘BOARDWALK EMPIRE’ star Charlie Cox is totally MARVEL’S ‘DAREDEVIL’
I don’t know Charlie Cox outside of Stardust, but I enjoyed the dude in that flick. Many people assuredly enjoy him in Boardwalk Empire. So here’s hoping I enjoy him as Matt Murdock.
Giannis Milonogiannis drawing couple issues of ‘ALL-NEW ULTIMATES.’ I am hardened.
And in that moment, all the hair on my nipples exploded. My butt hole tightened. And I saw the lord. What was that moment? Finding out that site favorite Giannis Milonogiannis is going to be drawing a couple issues of All-New Ultimates.
MILES MORALES joining ‘ALL-NEW X-MEN’ First, how? Second, awesome.
Miles Morales – my one and true Spider-Man – is somehow joining the All-New X-Men. Which answers the question, “What could finally get Caff-Pow to read All-New X-Men?” In truth, our own Johnny Hotsauce has finally shoved me onto the precipice of reading it anyways. But now, I’m diving off the ledge! I’m not particularly certain of the mechanics that’ll bring Morales to the proper Marvel Universe. I also don’t particularly care.
