Once upon a time, something truly awesome nearly happened in the comic book community. Well, it did happen, but fans weren't able to see the results for themselves until now.CCI: The "Smallville" Panel
On the final day of Comic-Con International in San Diego, fans woke up early to line up for the "Smallville" panel commemorating the long-running show's pending conclusion.CCI: DC's Premiere Teams
DC Comics rounded out its Sunday programming at Comic-Con International in San Diego with an informal panel discussing the publisher's several superhero team titles.

DC Comics editor Eddie Berganza introduced Ivan Reis to an anxiously waiting audience at Comic-Con International in San Diego, with the popular illustrator bringing along myriad examples of his progression as an artist, from childhood comic book reader to the present day.

Grant Morrison, is certainly doing something very interesting on a wider canvas. He’s playing games. Seriously.Art Baltazar, Franco Aureliani set to Script 'Young Justice' Ongoing Comic
With news breaking out of this year's San Diego Comic-Con that Peter David will be penning scripts for an all-new "Young Justice" animated series on Cartoon Network, it should come as no surprise that the folks over at DC would be gearing up a new "Young Justice" monthly comic to expand on the series' unique universe -- and that's exactly what the publisher is doing.CCI: The DC Kids Panel
'DC Universe Online' to Include Shapeshifting, Cities as Characters and Pre-Loaded Logos
Despite the welcome deluge of information Comic-Con's various announcements and trailer releases yielded regarding Sony's upcoming "DC Universe Online" MMORPG, the sheer scope of the game has ensured that fans still have plenty of questions running up to the title's November release. As part of their ongoing effort to address fan inquiries, game director Chris Cao and creative director Jens Andersen have shed some light on not only the game's characters, but also the mechanics of its world.Partymorpho!
Today is "Hector Plasm" and "Invincible Presents" artist Nate Bellegarde's birthday, and to celebrate, he asked his friends for only one present: drawings of DC's swingin' Element Man, Metamorpho, and brother, did they deliver. So as our way of wishing a Happy Birthday to one of our favorite artists, ComicsAlliance has gathered all the drawings he's gotten so far together in one spot! It's a Partymorpho!Annotations: 'Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne' #4 [Spoilers]
And we're back again, this time with yet another issue of "Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne." This one eschews the search plot to focus purely on the story from Bruce's perspective -- or, more precisely, from the perspective of the people around Bruce, who is completely silent for this entire issue in a nod to the silent, nameless lone gunslinger (or Batarang-slinger) archetype.Super Mario Meets Superman and Other Imagined Illustrations
"Marvel vs. Capcom 3" may be on the cutting edge of comic book/video game crossover approaches, but one bold, forward-thinking artist out there has a vision of how things could be in a world where confrontations such as the Super Skrull vs. Ryu and The Hulk vs. Donkey Kong are commonplace.The Damp Knight Returns

Frank - While I'm gonna miss these comprehensive posts, I completely understand where you are coming from. Sorry I haven't been much help with Bloodlines. I've thrown a couple links out there to this site, but I haven't contributed any articles. :(
ReplyDeleteI love what you're doing here, so I hope you keep up the parts you have time for.

No worries, Shag. Between OUAG and FF, I figure you have your bases covered. I needed the space, and a few others have made use of it, but it was never intended as an obligation. I'm real happy with how things are going, and if some things have to fall by the wayside to keep up overall quality, so be it. I just wanted to explain why Direct Currents was hitting the Slimfast and offer up the slack if anyone wanted to take hold. Truthfully though, there is such a thing as too many links, especially to already well-trafficked news sites. Better to focus on highlights and blogs, I figure.
ReplyDeleteFrank - Thanks for the understanding. Sounds like a good plan.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work here and on all the other blogs you run. By the way I've been meaning to ask, are you trying to surpass Rob Kelly for the number of blogs? ;)
Thanks!
Shag
I still haven't figured out what (if anything) I can do to contribute to this blog in some meaningful way, but I think I could handle a link list...I feel a little bad for not contributing.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOO!!!!!!! No more blogs, at least until I'm out of school. I've got to get me a Marvel blog sometime, but I'll enlist ...nurgh... for that when I can. Wonder Woman had to have her own blog, and I don't have the heart to kill either JLD or POTA to fold them into Bloodlines, but that. is. it.
ReplyDeleteLiss, again, I'm not whining over not having enough friends playing with me. I just know some folks (looking at you both) liked the regular link lists, and I didn't want to chop them down or turn them irregular without explaining myself.
I also have to warn you, link lists such as these are MASSIVELY time consuming. Pic posts take me about a quarter hour if I don't ramble on, fuss with manipulation overly much, or have to do research relating to the images. I can knock out an opinion/anecdotal post in 30 min.-an hour. Brief story synopsizes start in that time frame, with more elaborate numbers taking as much as 3-4 hours. Any given DC Current of the type I've done to date starts in the two hour range, and if I couple it with a ...nurgh... Linkypoo, I can blow 10-12 hours on the two posts, which are almost immediately out of date and irrelevant to general audiences. It's all sizzle, no steak, and grease burns besides.
A Marvel blog? Nooooo.....!!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the time-consuming aspect (I have plenty of time), it's the coming-up-with-good-links and/or ideas aspect that holds me up. I might post a link list or something here sooner or later just for the heck of it.
