Moon Knight — A New Ongoing Series Coming April 2006?

I believe this might be my first "scoop"!Moon Knight -- A New Ongoing Series Coming April 2006?Announced with much fanfare at last summer's San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel's revival of cult superhero Moon Knight in a limited series subtitled "The Bottom", by novelist Charlie Huston and fan favorite artist David Finch, has been switched to an ongoing series, with the first issue's release pushed back to April 2006. The publisher tipped their hand in this week's Marvel Pulse Newsletter with the release of a new "First Look" Wallpaper featuring Finch's pinup that first appeared in Wizard magazine back in August.The tagline…

Buzzscope: Read This Way #0

Introducing Buzzscope's latest addition to the Bullpen: Tania Del Rio!READ THIS WAY #0: MY SHOUJO STORYWelcome to my new column! Now, since it’s my first one, I’m expected to give a bit of an introduction to who I am, and I how I became the writer and artist for Archie Comics’ Sabrina the Teenage Witch. But regular autobiographies can be dull and tedious, so instead, I’ll tell my tale in the form of a shoujo manga story:Meet Tania. She is the bespectacled, gawky heroine who has a wealth of dreams and yet doesn’t know how she’ll ever achieve them. She…

Buzzscope: One Year Later

My latest "Establishing Shots" column is up, a mix of reflections and resolutions. Is it my last one for Buzzscope?No, I’m not talking about DC’s universe-changing event coming up next March, but rather our own “One Year Later” story here at Buzzscope...The way I see it, our mission is to focus on the comic books, the people who create them, and the fans who buy them. Putting a spotlight on the good, calling out the bad, and creating a welcoming space to discuss and debate it all. The industry itself needs to figure out how to reach its full potential…

Buzzscope Reviews: 11/23/05

More changes afoot:...we decided this would be the perfect week to sneak in another new feature; or in this case, a revamped one. As “writing” and “waiting for the trade” have become the standard for most comic books and comic book buyers these days, we’re adjusting our package…I mean, our weekly review roundup, accordingly, paying more attention to TPBs and OGNs and a bit less to the “#3 (of 6)” issues that, too frequently, are little more than padding for a story that could/should have been told in half as many issues.Translation: capsule reviews of more floppies, with fuller reviews…

Brain Dump: Thanksgiving Edition

Turkey Day was as close to perfect as I could imagine; Salomé and the kids, a few friends, some good food, low-stress. Friday we hung out in Jersey, and Saturday and Sunday we chilled. Priceless!Five things I'm thankful for, in no particular order (except for the first one): 1) Salomé, Isaac and India: Without them, I'd be a leaf in the storm.2) Friends: Near and far, real and virtual.3) Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: For demonstrating on a weekly basis that there is still plenty of good left in this world.4) Comic Books: Because getting to the movies or reading a…

COMMENT: Cosmic Spider-Man is Broken!

This past March, my sporadic co-blogger Dan did a write-up on the [new at the time] Marvel Knights expansion set to Upper Deck's Vs. System, the trading card game that lets you pit superheroes and supervillians against each other, Magic-style. I'd never played, but owned a few of the random cards that had been distributed with Wizard magazine back when I still bought it, and was mildly intrigued. I swore to resist the temptation, though, remembering it was Dan who, years earlier, had introduced me to Pokémon which sucked my wallet dry for about a year before I finally restricted…
