Thanks to Jason Richards for boiling down the DiDio interview over at NEWSarama:Plastic Man is CANCELLED.Gotham Central is CANCELLED.Batman: Gotham Knights is CANCELLED.Batgirl is CANCELLED.JLA is CANCELLED. (wha? huh?!)Adventures of Superman is being CANCELLED and the Superman title is being reverted back to its original numbering (starting with #650).Flash is ENDING (not yet sure what the difference is with being CANCELLED).the "current run" of Wonder Woman is ENDING as well.Plastic Man is no surprise and actually has nothing to do with One Year Later. I believe low sales and Kyle Baker's contract ending took care of that one. Regardless what…

Holy Cow!

Because I tend to edit as I go along, and do most of my research as I'm writing (thank god for Google!), it's really more like a second or third draft. We'll see what I think about it in the morning (well, later this morning) when I read it through with fresher eyes to see if it all makes sense, but I…

Cranked a few out this week, including our first "Staff Picks" entry...Amazing Fantasy #13With the underlying concept of superpowered humans who eschew capes and tights – and are inherently more dangerous as a result – Karl Kesel quickly establishes a credible setting that begs for elaboration, while teasing just enough information to pique the readers interest.Conan and the Demons of Khitai #1 (of 4)Editor Scott Allie has proven to be a worthy steward of Robert E. Howard’s storied barbarian, and with Demons of Khitai, it looks as if he’s once again caught lightning in a bottle as Akira Yoshida and…

No Buzzscope reviews this week as my both of my kids started school last week and I started today (online), so free time has been scarce. The past two weeks' lessened output have been an unexpected but refreshing break as every now and then it's nice to simply read comics for the pleasure. On that note...The Adventures of BioBoy #1: Irreverant fun, beautifully illustrated by NYC Mech's Andy MacDonald. Creator/Writer Sal Cipriano's got an intriguing concept here, with bonus points for two "complete" stories in this issue, but the next issue or two needs to flesh it all out a…

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."
