Bleeding Cool is reporting that according to sources, David Finch will be the new artist (writer/artist?) on Wonder Woman when Azzarello/Chiang leave the series later this year. And, speculating that the series will eschew its standalone format and take after the character's portrayal in the Justice League books and (possibly) her upcoming film depiction.
(Tiny) grain of salt on that last bit but...
Condolences.

nope! he's gross. I tried JLA and Forever Evil and mostly regret it all
and I didn't think anything on Supe/WW, just that it was wierd. I was cool with Soule from Swamp Thing

It seems to me that these days a webcomic would be the smart way to build an audience, rather than risking the costs of self publication on an audience you don't know is there. It just seems a better way to test the waters and get noticed while if not being lucrative then at least not going under.

I'm giving Tomb Raider a shot, I know people say Simone is too interested in pushing an agenda these days but I've heard good stuff about her Red Sonja run (considering picking that up).
I hope the TR 2 game has an improved story/characters, the writing wasn't awful like some people say though.

I like that art... the middle ones on the top and bottom I could use for avatars
Not sure how I would feel about the story going in that direction, but I didnt really like the first few issues of Catwoman the way they put them out. The fence stuff seemed forced and over the top.
I've been getting that monthly, BuddyJoe. I can't wait for my dose of Remender. Need that monthly Remender bump!
Ghostbusters is a solid book. I keep imagining this series as the proper sequel to the first film.

Saw those Catwoman pages posted on 4chan the other day and the phrase "deranged and desperate stalker" popped into my head.
Do kids actually buy Archie related comics?
Are they still popular?
They always seem like this bizarre relic from a bygone era.
I would say that looks like it is trying way too hard.
Hell I will say it, that book is trying way too hard.

I would reckon anyone who enjoyed the game ought to give the book a try. Simone played and loved the game and sells the book pretty well in the Dark Horse back pages thingy. Red Sonja is on point, btw.
As for IDW, I would recommend Wild Blue Yonder to anyone. I just hope the creators get their shit together and finish it.
Also, that Life with Archie Riverdale Confidential cover is raaaad.

I wish I knew more about Archie Comics, but I never picked one up before.
Looking forward to that After Life with Archie Trade though.

My delivery from IST came today. I missed them yesterday because I was at school, and I was hoping that I wouldn't miss them again. Luckily, I got home way before they arrived.
The first thing I have to mention is the packaging. People had already told me how sick a job IST does, but I wasn't quite prepared. The books were completely surrounded by the foam bumpers. Honest to god, it looked completely stuffed top to bottom.
The books were wrapped tight with this plastic, and the bundle was taped down to this long piece of cardboard. I don't think I've ever had books sent with this level of care...ever.
The books themselves? Excellent condition. I've got a quiz and a test, so my time is on my textbooks, but I couldn't quite help myself and I've already torn through Born Again. When I finish with everything this week, I'm gonna spend some time with the rest of em.

Warren Ellis just sent out a newsletter through his website Orbital Operations, he hadn't planned on this new series getting announced yet but since it has he also included the solicitations for the first issue
Also a bonus

His art style is practically the definition of the house style that DC is peddling these days.
Stop buying her books.
Thanks Spike!
The reason why I ask is because I sometimes see indie comics at some of the local scene/comic stores. I have no idea how much they sell, so perhaps online would be the way to go...

"Dear DC, Let's make a deal. Fire Ann Nocenti and I'll start buying Catwoman".
I... I can't. I'm weak. I can't drop books.
You're what's wrong with the industry. Stop enabling them.
There, does that shame you enough to drop stuff you hate-buy?
Speaking of Catwoman, are there any thoughts on Brubaker's Catwoman run? I've never really read the character outside of her Batman appearances, but I'm in the mood for a spy/heist/crime/noir/you get the picture-type comic and Brubaker usually delivers on that front. Worth it?

Brubaker's run was good. Much better than the Nocenti shit Messi is reading.
I read the first trade and thought it was fantastic. Need to get vol 2.

For sure man. I just got LoS2 and Thief on my PC so I'll be on that for a bit but Infamous is coming, I'll be on the PS4 more then.
Not sure what I think of the WW/Finch news. He isn't the artist I would have picked, but he's not horrific at least. I liked his New Avengers Breakout arc back in the day, and with such a critically acclaimed team coming off, I think a name with a bit of star power will help alleviate sales pressure, hopefully lessen the need to do something drastic with the series' style. I think it still comes down a lot to who the writer is and if it's accurate that they'd be changing her depiction and the style of book it is etc. to more like JL, that's really the worrying news.
If he could keep up more of a schedule, I'd probably have liked Jae Lee.

Man, I looooooved those first 6 or so issues of Catwoman. March was the perfect artist for it and draws a sexy and sharp looking Selina and I really liked how straight up adult it was. And then the internet shit its pants when issue 1 came out so that was the end of that. I really liked the fence story too, I thought Selina's rage at the climax of that story was very understandable and affecting. March was so good with her eyes in this, that blank horrified stare was perfect.

Wossy's not let me down yet, both Turf and America's Got Powers were pretty fun romps. This looks... interesting. Getting strong 80s video nasty vibes from this which is certainly interesting. Will give it a go.

I'm really liking what Andreyko is doing with Batwoman. And I'm also growing on Jeremy Haun's artwork though I'm in this weird place where I think I like his Kate outside of her costume more than in.
It better be up to the quality and standards of old school "Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane" or I'm going to be disappointed.
