Wizard World Texas
I’m leaving tomorrow for Wizard World Texas at the Arlington Convention Center. There are 300 copies of Job Wanted already waiting for me, and we’ll have an armful of our newly-redesigned shirts to sell as well. Look for us at the Shooting Star Comics booth. Joining me from “Job Wanted” is writer/artist Scott McCullar, writer…
Just can’t overprint those Teen Titans!
Teen Titans #1 Sells Out… Again This is the fourth printing of Teen Titans #1, and they still can’t keep up with demand. Why was it initially printed so low? Consider the following: 1. The universally-reviled “Graduation Day” mini 2. The mediocre advance buzz for “The Outsiders” 3. The repackaging of Teen Titans to feature…
Interview: Lady Death’s Brian Pulido
Lady Death’s creator Brian Pulido gets interviewed by The Pulse. The interview doesn’t offer any further news about CrossGen, the current publisher of Lady Death, as Pulido is quite mum on the topic, except to say that he is very supportive of CGE.

I’m guessing that there wasn’t the money to publish issue #43, which is getting scary. What happens to the money already paid for #43? CGE…

More Epic moves
Fanzing’s founder Marc Campbell has e-mailed me personally to announce that his Epic project Northwood Saga will also not be published by Epic. Campbell is weighing his options and will announce his future plans for the book soon. I’m glad to see that the Epic books are not caught up in legal troubles in moving…
Comic book reviews
I think I’ll keep an eye on Broken Frontier for future reviews. They have a nice, clean site with easy navigation.
CGE rumors and my mission
Rich Johnston’s Lying in the gutters offers a number of rumored tidbits about CrossGen’s status. Bart Sears has apparently left and Ron Marz has been let go. The “Negation” team will be doing “The War,” which will bring Negation to a close as well with issue 26. The team will then allegedly be offered the…
