‘Batman: Year One’ Aritst: Don’t Buy The New DC Reprint. Douches
David Mazzucchelli is the artist behind the seminal Batman: Year One, and he has a message for you. Don’t fucking buy the latest DC reprint. He’s got his reasons, and I respect the dude. I mean, c’mon. He’s David fucking Mazzucchelli.

DC’s ‘Captain Marvel’ Now Officially Known As ‘Shazam!’, Looks Brooding As Hell
Captain Marvel is debuting in Justice League #7, and he’s going to finally be called what we’ve all mistakenly referred to him as for years: Shazam! Check out what Geoff Johns has to say about the character, and dig on his totally brooding first look.
Rafael Grampa Does Variant Cover For Brian Wood’s ‘The Massive’ TOO MUCH AWESOME
Brian Wood’s next magnum opus is The Massive. Rafael Grampa is a favorite artist of us here at OL. Combining the two of them together in a variant cover for the debut issue is almost too much.

Superman To Be All Sad And Deadly On “Earth 2′, Rock On Dude
I don’t really vibe with Grant Morrison’s relaunched Superman. I know, heresy. In fact, I’ve gone so far as to drop Action Comics. From what editor Pat McCallum and writer James Robinson are spittin’ though, I may be able to get into the Earth 2 version of Last Son.
Hitch and Ross Market ‘America’s Got Powers’ As ‘Twice As Much As Marvel For $1 Less’
Bryan Hitch left Marvel after a solid decade, and now he’s taking swings at the old joint. Marketing up his new creator-owned with Jonathan Ross, the two of them are promising it’ll have way more wiz-bang for way less wiz-buck.
Help KICKSTART Documentary About Image Comics.
[Caff Note: Thanks to The Dude for pointing this out to me.]
The folks that brought to life the Grant Morrison documentary Talking With Gods and the upcoming Warren Ellis one, Captured Ghosts are turning to us netizens to help them fund their next flick. It’s none other than a documentary about the founding and evolution of Image comics. A pretty dope idea, considering its their 20th anniversary and they’ve recently revealed a torrent of talent sitting in their stable.
‘Cowboy Ninja Viking’ Adaptation Being Directed By Mark Forster.
I’ve got a lot of love for the comic Cowboy Ninja Viking by AJ Lieberman and Riley Rossmo. It’s hilarious, psychotic, and gorgeous to behold. Pure kinetic madness. However it was canceled far too soon, and so I’ve sort of forgotten about it or its upcoming movie adaptation.
Brain! Meet remembrance.
DC Reveals Designs for Batman and Robin of ‘Earth Two’, They Ain’t Ass.
I haven’t dedicated much brain power to thinking about DC’s upcoming Earth Two. The seeming flagship title of the company’s “second wave” of New 52 titles. Just hasn’t really interested me. That is, until I caught this info and peeped the designs. Not IMAGE EXPO level of the excite!, but it could be pretty jazzy.

‘The Avengers’ Gets A New Poster, They Love POSING.
Unbeknownst to DC, a good amount of material for The Avengers is being generated by none other than Jim Lee. Only this secret fact hidden in the darkness of subterfuge can explain the insane amount of posing going on in this poster, the trailer, and the promo pics.

Trailer: ‘Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope’ Gets Me Tingly.
SDCC is the Valhalla that I have yet to arrive at. Every year I want to go, and for a variety of reasons I never do. Money (the most important one), access (it’s getting harder and harder to get tickets), someone to go with (I beg Rendar hard) and so on. Watching this trailer gets that drive going again, but in the end it’ll probably just serve as an awesome double-feature at Rancho Omega-o with Indie Game: The Movie.
