Image Comics Publisher: We’re “Creating Some Of The Best Comics In History”, He’s F**king Right.
Eric Stephenson dropped some bold words today regarding his Image Comics, and I’m going to just go ahead and nod my head in affirmation.

PETER PARKER and MILES MORALES To Meet In ‘SPIDER-MEN’. Oh Marvel.
Well, it’s happening. The Ultimate and 616 universes are somehow interacting, an event that Joe Quesada once said would only happen when Marvel was out of ideas. Which you know, makes it seem like perfect sense that its happening now.
Details and artwork after the jump.
Mark Waid Drops Knowledge About INSANE COST Of Print Comics.
Mark Waid is beginning to win me over. I’ve opined that I can find the chap both insightful and infuriating, but I’m particularly enamored with his pulling back of the veil and exposing the insanity of trying to make the ducets through print comics.
‘CAPTAIN AMERICA’ Sequel Announced For April 2014.
Provided that the world doesn’t end in December (it’s going to, fuck science and fuck you too), Marvel is going to continue churning out installments of the comic-book-movie-industrial-complex. Hope you’re not sick of the flicks, cause they’re lined up for years, and years, and years. The latest joint to get an official sequel release date is Captain America: Fucking Silly Poses.
Marvel Studios President: ‘ANT-MAN’ Is “Closest It’s Ever Been”
Edgar Wright has been jawing about making an Ant-Man movie for years now. In fact if I recall correctly its noise was filtered through the pop-psyche even before Scott Pilgrim. Nothing has really seemed to come about from all the chatter though, and as such I’ve disregarded any excitement I once had for the film. However if the noise out of Kevin Feige’s mouth is accurate, I may need to don my Cloak of The Excite!
Oni announces full-color version of ‘SCOTT PILGRIM’, dare you take the double-dip?
Perchance this is the sort of double-dipping that you may be into. Oni Press has announced that they’re going to release a full-color version of Scott Pilgrim in an “ultra swank” format.
James Stokoe’s ‘GODZILLA: HALF-CENTURY WAR’ Announced By IDW. I Can’t F**king Wait.
Here at OL we’re pretty, pretty, pretty fucking jazzed on James Stokoe. The dude’s comic Orc Stain is unadulterated talent ripping through the veins and capsules of the comic page. The level of energy and detail on every page literally makes my taint sing. I’m serious. My taint opens up, and it sings. This weekend IDW announced that Stokoe would be writing and drawing Godzilla: Half-Century War for them. That taint that sings? It wailed.
Details and previews after the jump.
‘ROUTE 29 BATMAN’ Turns Out To Be Solid Dude. Duh, He’s The Bat.
We’ve all seen the pictures of that dude bombing about in Batman regalia. I figured he was something of an adorable sociopath, kicking lambs and goats and claiming they were infected by the Joker’s laughing virii. Much to my shock, he’s a pretty rad dude. No kicking.
Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson: A Title Selling Out Isn’t A Good Thing
Eric Stephenson is the publisher for Image Comics, who are the hottest mainstream comics company in my eyes. Stephenson spoke out recently about the “success” of titles of theirs such as Saga selling out at comic book stores. He definitely dapped it up with those titles, but also pointed something out: selling out sort of sucks.
Marvel Continues Teasing Possible ‘ULTIMATE’ Crossover In New ‘SPIDER-MEN’ Promo. 616-U?
Marvel continues to tease the tip when it comes to some sort of crossover involving both Peter Parker and the Spider-Man of their Ultimate universe. I can’t recall a time when they’ve riffed on this sort of interaction between the two universes, but if they’re going to do it they might as well do it with their best character. Yeah, that’s right. Miles Morales.
