WOTR ends with #24 Low sales have determined that Way of the Rat will end with #24, the end of the current story arc. The good news is that at least there will be four complete WOTR trade paperbacks. I will really miss this book, the title I would mention to anyone interested in CrossGen…

“Where is Chuck Dixon?” has been the call from his many online friends. He hasn’t posted on his message board in many moons. His web site, Dixonverse.com, has been offline due to a hassle involving his site host ever since the domain came up for renewal. Even with the announcement of “Richard Dragon” in November,…

CGE soldiers on! Another full month of comics from CrossGen have been announced. Oddly enough, El Cazador will not be published in March. There is an El Cazador one-shot in its place, but it’s strange to allow a one-shot to replace the ongoing book. The Ruse series of “Archerd’s Agents” one-shots continues with a story…

CrossGen is finally seeking to do some press again to promote their ongoing line of books. I wish it had been sooner. With people unpaid, books canceled, creators leaving, creators “let go”, and even some of the creators on the remaining books leaving the company, the gossip mills have been churning and it’s been very…

I purchased the Negation TPB at half price at Wizard World and it is really an awesome book. Negation sounded intimidating and continuity-mired from the descriptions of it. As a book that was “pivotal” to the whole CrossGen Sigil and Firsts and upcoming War, I thought it would be a mishmash. The only Negation story…

I talked in my Wizard World review about PS238. As I was investigating the site further, I found Aaron’s PS238 Lunch Boxes. As someone who has been trying to sell Cafe Press merchandise for years, I have to admit…these are really smart designs. Not only are they lunchboxes promoting a book about elementary school, but…

Roz Terrill and I found Antarctic Press’ How to Color for Comics at Wizard World Texas (at the aforementioned Steve Buscemi Guy’s 1/2 price TPBs stand). In this day and age of computer-colored books, it’s a new skill that will be very useful to those trying to find work in the industry. I thought I’d…

IDW’s I Am Legend Upgraded to Hardcover with no price increase! Sounds good…except the original price for the paperback was already $35. Still, it’s nice to see that they raised the quality and kept the price the same.

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. The piece mainly centers on the new Lady Death book which picks…

CrossGen had announced that issue #43 would be the last issue for Sigil…but when #42 shipped this week, it ended abruptly with a message that it was the final issue. 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…
