Real talk, if a past their prime creator is going to do a Batman story I'd rather have Adams do an Odyssey sequel than Miller doing DK3. And super subtle with the Master Race subtitle there Frank.

For some reason, I thought Scott Snyder was working with Miller on it.

Fuck it, Miller Adams team up
 
Crazy Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello: two writers I hate writing Batman, writing Batman together. This has "oh god what are you doing run away" written all over it.

I hope this is finally the book that sends Land back to DC. Get some Nightwing porno ass up in this crazy book.

I'm excited! I'm happy Miller has a co-writer to tell him when his shit too dumb or crazy. Wonder who the artist are. Can't wait!

Ehh I dunno -- like I'd take Holy Terror over most everything Azz has his name on except maybe Hellblazer. And between Cage and 100 Bullets I don't think he's necessarily the right guy to reign in Miller's excesses or (potentially) Weird Racial Shit, if that is indeed what he's there for and not simply because Miller is too sick to work on it himself.

Anyways... part of what makes DKR and DK2 interesting for me -- and I think for a lot of other people -- is that they're auteurist works in the superhero genre. DKR has Janson/Varley/Costanza while DK2 has Varley/Klein but it's still a mostly singular voice writing and drawing and that was, and still is, special in superhero comics.

With Miller's own collaborations, it's almost always with artistic peers or mentors or people from the generation after his that were influenced by his work. And most of the people he worked with did some of the best work of their careers. That's interesting to me too. Two creative voices coming together to do something they wouldn't have alone.

This, though -- a co-writer off the bat, no artist announced (but rumours of multiple ones...) -- is just totally offputting to me immediately.

Umm, did I just read that correctly Bleeding Cool?

"And most surprisingly and sadly that Mike Mignola‘s Hellboy comic book is heading towards its end, though it is still some ways off…"

Anka killing it on this Silk variant this week.
Wait did Silk drop this week? If so that's upsetting, because they forgot to put it in my box. Then again, I didn't see it on the wall...

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise

From a few weeks ago:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/mike-mignola-discusses-the-impending-end-of-hellboy
"With everything we're working on in the Hellboy world, we have an end in sight," Mignola said. "It's not right around the corner, but I find that it helps a lot when you know ultimately where things are going.

"I now know where this book's going," Mignola continued, speaking specifically about the Hellboy in Hell" series. "I didn't always know exactly where it was going. Hellboy's dead, and now he gets sick, so it's very sad and tragic." As the series nears its conclusion, "We're close enough to the end of all of this stuff that the big secrets are starting to roll out. All of the pieces are on the board."

And this impending ending expands beyond "Hellboy in Hell." "All over the Hellboy universe, everything's kind of there. All of our pieces are there and now it's the most exciting part, where we just get to start knocking down those dominoes," Mignola said, promising that readers should still expect to be surprised by events in the various titles. "It surprised us when we were plotting it. So I figured that if the writers were surprised, the readers should really be surprised.

"My concern is getting the story finished so it doesn't fall to Scott Allie to go, 'Oh, shit -- I know he explained all of this to me,'" Mignola explained. "That's why I want to wrap things up in this finite number of issues, so then I can go get hit by a bus, or whatever."
