Stupid the Onion.

Love and Rockets is an ANNUAL, not a monthly. (And the last issue wasn’t my favorite of the run by a long shot, but it was mostly self-contained stories. It’s a decent jumping-on point.)

#14 from Complex’s Most Violent list says: “Robin’s death was determined by a phone-in poll, with over 10,000 votes cast. Stories about the margin of victory have varied from over 50 percent to a matter of two.” (regarding Death In The Family.)

I smell a comic legend!

Marvel characters added to LittleBigPlanet…makes me really want a PS3 even more for that game, but the system just isn’t worth the price yet. Still, that Captain America is just plain adorable with a capital A!!!

I wonder what others they might add?

Doctor Who hasn’t started filming the fifth series, they’ve started filming the special ‘one-off’ episodes due later this year (some of it round the corner from my house, as it goes).

You might want to peek around the corner more often– they’ve wrapped filming on the specials (the last of the David Tennant/Russell T. Davies era), and Matt Smith set reports are all over the internet.

Also word on the street is they’re going to adopt Marvel’s tradition of renumbering when a new creative team gets on board – next year will apparently be called series 1.

I’m a beautiful human being, inside an out.

There, wish granted.

I wish ANYTHING on the internet was entirely accurate.

Seriously, this was the least interesting SDCC ever.

That being said, I’m super pumped for I, Zombie and the Animal Man/B’wana Beast two-pack. So cool.

“Anyway, MarvelMan being bought by Marvel was easily the biggest disappointment of the Con, once you learn that they haven’t obtained the rights to the Moore/Gaiman stuff, only the shitty Captain Marvel rip-off stories that predated it.”

That’s not entirely accurate.

My favorite SDCC announcement was the Seagle/Allred non-announcement. I, Zombie sounds like Chew mixed with Pushing Daisies with a dash of Rogue. I will be getting that. Man, Allred is all over the comics scene.

What’s wrong with the JLA Line-up?

I didn’t really care for the Onion AV Club feature on influential artists (and I’m generally a big fan of the AV Club), mostly because of how fast and loose they played with the facts, both explicit and implied. (Mignola’s developed his unique style after starting Hellboy? Greg Land is one of the “widescreen” artists?) Also, even though I know this isn’t supposed to be a comprehensive list, they left out some obvious biggies like Frank Miller. And while they say these artists “changed mainstream comics” they’re explicit that Chris Ware’s influence has not been felt in mainstream comics. Go figure. It reads like they’re a bunch of n00bs who are looking for cool points trying to name drop to an audience who isn’t informed enough to dispute them.

I for one am excited about Robinson’s JLA line up because I have always enjoyed the generational aspect of the DCU and I would like to see Dick, Donna, and Lar step into the spotlight, even if I know it is only temporary and that the powers that be at DC have undone most of the changes to major characters over the years that highlighted that generational aspect in favor of resetting the DCU to a 1960′s status quo.

I, Zombie does sound great as do the Gerard Way comics. Bill Willingham on Angel…I’m there!
