Go pre-order the hardcover of Miranda Mercury, okay?
Brandon Thomas sent me a .pdf file of the first two issues of The Many Adventures of Miranda Mercury. I was going to pre-order it anyway, but I thought I’d let you know about what he sent me.
A Month of Comic Book Sites – Supergirl Comic Box Commentary
All throughout June, I’ll spotlight a different web site about comic books.. Like with the month of independent comics, the month of LGBT comics and last month’s month of webcomics, I figure I will let you comic book site/blog owners out there suggest your comic book web site (or blog) for spotlight during this month. [...]
When We First Met #13
Each day in June you’ll get an entry showing you the first appearance of seemingly minor characters, phrases, objects or events that later became notable parts of comic book lore. Not major stuff like “the first appearance of Superman,” but rather, “the first time someone said, ‘Avengers Assemble!’” or “the first appearance of Batman’s giant [...]

As you all know by now, DC is relaunching their superhero line of comics with 52 brand-new #1s in September (CBR has the details on all 52 here). I thought it was worth putting up this piece to point you to two recent articles written by two of our Comics Should Be Good contributors about [...]

Another Useless Friday Daydream (and a Contest!)
I can’t take it any more. Everywhere in the comics press there is endless speculation and crabbing and geeking out over what DC is doing. It’s starting to feel like we’re all unpaid interns working in DC’s publicity department. So, enough. Here is something completely different. (Fair warning… it’s also enormously nerdy.)
The Final Day of the DC Relaunch Announcements…
We already knew what they were going to be, so it was not AS big of a deal, but still, some interesting stuff announced today, including the highly anticipated news about Grant Morrison writing Action Comics #1 (so awesome!) with artist Rags Morales.

Gail Simone on the End of Secret Six
Gail Simone has a piece at her message board about the end of Secret Six. You can read it here. It is too bad. I will miss it!
Joe Casey and Nathan Fox Take Over Haunt in September!
Apparently, the esteemed team behind Dark Reign: Zodiac will be taking over Image’s Haunt in September. And, right there, Todd McFarlane has produced the best new creative team announcement for a September comic book that I’ve seen all week.
DC relaunching Suicide Squad, as well!
I like artist Marco Rudy and I really don’t know enough about writer Adam Glass to make a judgment either way, but I can say that the cover of the new Suicide Squad title (starring Harley Quinn, King Shark and Deadshot) is not exactly my cup of tea…
DC IS Doing a Blue Beetle Comic!
When DC made a point of talking about their character diversity, you would think that Blue Beetle would have been a bit of a lock. As one of the few prominent Hispanic superheroes, Jaime Reyes would be a good choice for a book (not to mention that Jaime Reyes is a good character, period). Well, [...]
