More and more is being revealed here at Comicon’s Pulse that might satisfy anyone wondering about both Batgirl and Green Arrow:
THE PULSE: What is it about the current crop of Outsiders that you hope will attract both new readers and existing fans of any of the characters involved?

DIXON: Most of them were part of the original team and are often thought of as unique to the Outsiders. Certainly

The Los Angeles Times talks about Marvel’s new online archive for their older books. Reading this, I wondered if, were the younger readers to check out the older stuff here, would they be able to appreciate it, the oldness notwithstanding, for what it is, and should symbolize in what we need today? I do hope that’s possible.

Let’s see, in this LITG column (via Occasional Superheroine), we learn that Jason Todd, who was pointlessly brought back from the dead when Superboy Prime struck the “walls of reality” is now going to be taking up Bruce Wayne’s role under the Batsuit. While Batman himself, from what I can tell, is going to become a New God!

Of all the theater-of-the-absurd stunts DC could pull lately, this has

The Newsarama contributor Troy Brownfield, who may a professor, wrote about the possible return of Spoiler. First, here’s what he says at the end:

Stephanie Brown was an admittedly minor character, but one that nonetheless touched a chord with many fans. If she does return, one wonders if it would undermine her significance as a rallying point. If it’s a new character in the Spoiler outfit, she’

The Penn. Express-Times talks about Marvel’s bringing Mar-Vell of the Kree back through time-warp effects. That in and of itself is probably okay, but what’s implied that the writer of the 5-part miniseries, Brian Reed, wants to do, is ludicrous. First: In the 1982 graphic novel “The Death of Captain Marvel,” the alien Kree soldier Mar-Vel, Captain Marvel, discovers he is dying of cancer. His

Bendis goes on a special tour in Washington state, and the MSM unsurprisingly provides him with sugary press coverage:
The comic-book world has been like Never Never Land for Brian Michael Bendis. The top writer in the country, Bendis has not gone without having multiple titles on the top-10 sales lists for years. He has fans everywhere. And the popularity of his work has landed him TV, movie and

I recalled a little something done by the now defunct Crossgen that was written by Chuck Dixon and which the comics industry was not willing to support: a special called American Power, which had a cover that may have been judged simply by that. Including by one of their former contributors, Ian Edington, who told Dynamic Forces in the following interview:

For those who haven’t seen it, the

Let me wish a happy holiday of Thanksgiving to everybody. Speaking of which, what is there that I could be thankful for? I guess it could be the burgeoning collection of great trade paperbacks I’ve done my best to seek out over the past couple years, for enjoyment and also for some historical research.

Again, let me wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving and hope you enjoy a good meal!

CNBC reported recently that Time Warner may be ready to embrace a plan to break up their company. This led people at ComicBloc (via Newsarama blog) to wonder if it’ll lead to DC being cut adrift from Warner as well, which bought ownership of them as early as 1973.

If this happens, and it does lead to DC Comics becoming a seperate entity (though I assume, still part of AOL?), would this be good

Scripps-Howard News Service talks about this being a “big month” for Marvel, though having examined their output of the past several years, I really can’t see how myself:
As Mr. Spock once said, “The only constant in the universe is change.” Marvel Comics is living that maxim to the fullest this month.Yeah, and waaaaay tooooo muuuuuch change at that. So much in fact that it practically becomes
