The Silken Ghost, the mysterious fighter from Way of the Rat, is getting her own five-part mini-series. What is it about female protagonists getting five-issue minis? Five-issue minis are unusual enough as it is. Odd to hear of these two in the same day!

DC brings back western star Cinnamon
Cinnamon will “return” in a new five-issue miniseries. The art looks great, but I’m less thrilled that this isn’t a proper western but an update of the character set in modern times. Check out the full story by Jen Contino and then discuss it in the forum!
Archie – I tried
Honestly, I tried. Phil pointed out that someone did a search for Archie news on our site, so (obliging soul that I am) we realized we had overlooked a fine comic company! I added them to the navbar and our news categories, and then headed on over to the Archie site to see what news…
Entertainment Weekly’s comic book section
According to NEWSARAMA: THE EW EFFECT, “Smaller publishers and individual creators who were plugged in the [first Entertainment Weekly issue featuring comic books] report seeing a nice bump in their sales” Every little bit of advertising for this medium helps.
Power Company Cancelled!
John Wells (Fanzing contributor and the brains behind a certain metahuman resource company used by a San Fran superhero firm) has passed on this note from Kurt Busiek. As I don’t have a link, here is the text: It’s true, I’m sorry to say. POWER COMPANY is ending with #18. (See the extended entry below…
Back to the Batcave
All right, this one doesn’t really qualify as “news”, being a few weeks old, but I’ve just read the review of “Back to the Batcave” over at The Pulse and I realized I never shared my thoughts on it. The movie is really two movies: a campy modern adventure in which Adam West, Burt Ward…
Maguire NOT a wuss!
To follow up on Phil’s post below…this thing about Maguire’s back pain keeping him from being in the sequel appears to be just a rumor. As Sarah “Scribbler” Beach points out over on the Dixonverse board, if he were off of the sequel to one of the year’s biggest blockbusters, it would be much bigger…
PvP wants fan art!
Player vs Player‘s Scott Kurtz has put out a request for fan art! I daresay some of our site’s visitors should be more than willing to rise to the challenge! Eh? Eh? He says he may run it in the PvP comic, so this could be a great chance for some exposure!
New Batman Animated Movie!
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman! I loved “Mask of the Phantasm”. “Sub-Zero” had its moments, too. Both of them were WAY above the quality level of anything the live action movies tried to do in terms of character development and a coherent plot. Amazing how a voice actor and some cartoonists can bring more to…
Blatant Shilling for a friend
Our good friend, painter Rosalyn Terrill, is currently recuperating on her back due to an injury and getting ready to deliver her baby in a little over a month. In order to help her raise money, I designed some ebay auctions to auction off three one-and-only prints of her digitally-painted pieces: two Nightwings and one…
