Variant Covers: Transdimensional Super Spy Swagger.
Oh my gosh! The Flashpoint has come and gone! The DC ‘New 52’ has arrived with all the musty fart pomp-and-circumstance-and-nothing-much-else that you’d expect. Last week saw just the conclusion of the worst storyline to cause a Universe relaunch ever, and the first issue of JL(A). And yeah kids, I’m counting Heroes Reborn as better than this nonsense. It had Onslaught! Franklin Richards! Other stuff! Rob Liefeld! This is a new week though, and filled with new titles from DC that actually get me a bit excited. More importantly, this is the return of Mr. Quinn.
Variant Covers. Your pull-list for the week. Show me. I’m practically begging.

Watch Marvel Short Film ‘The Consultant’ Linking ‘Hulk’ And ‘Avengers’ Movies Right Here. Chyeah!
When I saw the first clip of Marvel’s first short film ‘The Consultant’ I was all haterizing. Now that I’ve seen the whole thing? It amused me. It also doesn’t hurt that I am totally dying for the Avengers movie. So bad.

Variant Covers: Smile! The DC Relaunch Is Here!
The DC relaunch is here. Hide your children. The DC relaunch is here. Jim Lee is ruining your favorite characters’ costumes. The DC relaunch is here. They’re going to treat the Universe’s continuity like a buffet line. Picking and choosing what to keep. The DC relaunch is here. Their talking heads are spitting double-speak corporate nonsense, starring in embarrassing videos. The DC relaunch is here, they’re taking away our handicapped heroine, dragging Wildstorm and Vertigo characters into their orbit. The DC relaunch is here, and they’re going same-day digital and stabbing your favorite crusty old comic book store in the heart with a solid gold stake.
The DC relaunch is here.
And I think it’s for the best.
Marvel’s ‘Fearless’ Teaser Features Raw Skin, Absurd Cleavage.
Really, Frank Cho? You had to give Sin, the daughter of the Red Skull hulking, massive, painfully engorged breasts? Sigh. It’s particularly impressive that she can flaunt such things given the fact that her arms are skeleton gaunt.
Whatever!

Brian Wood To Work For Marvel, Writing ‘Wolverine’ Title? Glory Be! Yes!
Brian Wood’s DC exclusive stint is coming to an end with the conclusion of DMZ and the cancellation of Northlanders looming. What’s he going to do in addition to use usual plate of creator-owned material? Apparently rock out with Sir Logan of Cut-A-Lot.

New Teaser For First Issue of ‘Hulk’ Is Electrifying. This Is A Pun.
I’m excited for the new Jason Aaron-helmed Hulk relaunch. I checked out on the Hulk when Jeph Loeb dangled the identity of the Red Hulk for three or so years, and have been waiting for a new in-let into the title. This new teaser/variant cover by Ladronn is hopefully the manifesto for the new team’s approach to the Hulk: the green man. Smashing. Everything.

Variant Covers: Happy Endings, Big Questions, and More.
Comic books. I need them. They’re an antidote to my weekly stressors that neither my therapist nor pharmaceutically-engineered happiness could touch. So I hope Grant Morrison isn’t right. I hope comic books aren’t dying. ‘Cause they’re the salve on the chapped ass of my perpetual existential crisis. Tomorrow is Wednesday, when the batch of momentary reality-ejection drops. What are you buying? What are you interested interested in?
Here’s The Rundown Of All The DC ‘New 52’ Logos.
DC’s revealed all the logos for the titles coming into existence in a couple of weeks as part of their ‘New 52’. Some of them are the same, some of them are pretty dope, and then ones like Captain Atom are impressively awful.

Marvel Teasing The Return Of The ‘Scarlet Spider’? Make Mine Reilly!
Fact: the greatest Spider-Man of all time was Ben Reilly. Second is obviously going to be Miles Morales. Parker can be a third if he asks nicely. Reilly held it absolutely down as the Scarlet Spider for a bit, and with Marvel teasing the return of said Scarlet, I hope it means we’ll get some bleach blond spider-action going on soon.
