The real story is BOOM or any other publishing company blazing new trails in distribution or reaching out to online communities. That's the wave of the future. Grant Morrison's new comics are totally newsworthy and exciting. I'm also glad to see him writing a new animated web-series for Virgin. I love that they're trying new venues and formats for storytelling. Here's hoping it lives up to my expectations. Although I'm not sure if it's "news" (didn't we hear about this a while ago?) I'm looking forward to any and all UMBRELLA ACADEMY. UA is the best new series and shows more promise than almost any other comic out there. Greg Hatcher hit the nail on the head.

The Yen Press manga licenses. I hadn't given their anthology a second thought when it was first announced, but now seeing what titles are going to be in it has me really looking forward to it now. 2. Secret Six ongoing. Pre awesomeness. Simone and Scott reuniting makes me even happier, though I am left wondering who will be drawing Bedard's Birds Of Prey now... 3. Power Girl ongoing drawn by Amanda Conner. I am not so much excited about PG getting a series as I am that Conner will be drawing it. Hopefully with plenty of lead time so there's not too many fill-in's. 4. Del Rey manga announcements. Nothing terribly exciting but a couple of their titles look intriguing. 1.

No disrespect to Geoff John's Action stories recently, but where is the swag? The new collections? The new stories? The mini-series? The one-shots? All of it? Why is All-Star Superman #10 the highlight of the year to date (plus issues from Action 658-663)? No real news this weekend that I didn't already know.

Probably the former since Conner's art - while awesome - means the PeeGee book will likely suffer from delays and fill-ins.

Coolest? I'd also vote for the announcement of Secret Six ongoing. (More Deadshot, Catman and Scandal by Simone? Sweet!) Of course, that's partially the coolest just because it's so unexpected. (More Seaguy and Umbrella Academy were previously announced, were they not?) CBR's account of the Morrison panel was fun to read, btw, and it's actually got me even more optimistic about Final Crisis. Won't it be a fine victory for good comics if one of the Big Two manages NOT to screw up summer event? (Keeping its word about the scope of the storytelling is the first step. Hitting deadlines is another. Neither one of those things happened in the case of Civil War or Infinite Crisis.) The dismissal of charges against Gordon Lee is the happiest news. Coolest?

I'm not a BOOM! reader, but the digital age of comics is something that fascinates me. In more than one way, the comics industry is in a much better position to use the internet and illegal downloads to its benefit than any other form of entertainment. I'm with you there, Greg.
