Cerebus: A Diablog Launches!
Myriad Issues —
After several weeks of holiday vacation from the blogosphere, I'm back! Now, with more blogs! Leigh Walton of Top Shelf and I just launched a site called Cerebus: A Diablog today, a new blog devoted to our dual critical analysis of Dave Sim's Cerebus, issues 1-300. We'll be doing an issue a week, and yes, we have done the math. And we are terribly excited. To steal directly from our about page: Cerebus: A Diablog (or sometimes Cereblog) is an ongoing close reading in two-part harmony. Neither of us was born yet when Cerebus was launched, and neither of us has previously ...

Jan. 8, 2009: The heartbreak of series cancellation
Journalista - the news weblog of The Comics Journal —
“A lot of the DC movies at Warner Brothers are all on hold while the figure out, they’re going to come up with some new plan, methodology, things like that so everything has just been pressed pause on at the moment. It was the double header of both Iron Man and The Dark Knight coming out, so more than ever I think they’ve realized, I think DC was responsible for 15% of Warner Brothers’ revenue this year, something crazy like that, so they realized that comic books, it’s become a new genre, one of the most successful genres.” ...
CEREBUS: A Diablog
THE BEAT —
As briefly noted, yesterday marked the debut of Cerebus: A Diablog which features journalist Laura Hudson and Top Shelf’s Leigh Walton blogging each issue of CEREBUS, one issue a week. (That’s nearly 6 years of labor. Will there even BE blogs by then?) It’s a strong debut, as the millennial duo parses the grammar of a comics industry long gone while mining the kernels of eternal content. Walton:
What’s interesting about the “Cerebus is an aardvark” juxtaposition — seemingly the point of the comic — is that the comic largely ...

Douglas looks at some latter-day Dredd
The Savage Critic(s) —
JUDGE DREDD: ORIGINS: I picked up this 2007 paperback from a half-off bin a little while back, noting that the front cover misspells artist Carlos Ezquerra's name. One of my minor New Year's resolutions is to read more of John Wagner's future-cop Judge Dredd stories; I've actually been batting around the idea of working my way through the twelve "Complete Case Files" volumes that are sitting on my shelf and reviewing them all here. (If Laura and Leigh can do it with Cerebus ...

Today's installment of comic-related news items that wouldn't generate a post of their own, but may be of interest...
* Heidi MacDonald checks in with comics pros for her annual year end survey: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. The big themes: recession, online comics, comic book movies-- and how gangbuster movie sales don't translate into gangbuster comic sales. (Disclaimer: I'm one of those people included.)
* Asylum Press, having offered free comics for anyone signing up for their online newsletter within the first twelve days of December, has extended their offer. Anyone who ...
Is Laura Hudson of Comic Foundry newfound royalty?
ComicMix —
It's a fairy tale story that could only happen in comics.
Recent photographic evidence has come to ComicMix that shows that Laura Hudson, late of Comic Foundry and currently of Cerebus: A Diablog, is the long lost twin sister of Queen Beth Lowery of Waukau, Wisconsin.
Beth Lowery, according to America's Finest News Source, was recently chosen as the consort of the Mattress King James Koepke III, Lord and Master of a vast bed and box-spring empire in central Wisconsin.
As we all know, there has been no true royal powers exercised in the industry since the passing of ...
Superhero Cakewrecks!
Myriad Issues —
I know that I've been busy lately putting the "yay!" in hiatus and/or writing on the Cereblog; Portland and/or being happy has made me languorous, but I'm slowly spinning up again, I swear. In the meantime: CAKE WRECKS! For the superheroically inclined. If you've never read Cake Wrecks, a site about incredibly bad and hilarious (professional) cakes, let me direct you to my personal favorite: Naked Mohawk Baby Carrot Jockeys. You're welcome.

(you get a cookie if you get the reference.)
1. This is more of a public service announcement, really: Peter Milligan is joining the already-packed-with-goodness Standard Attrition blog. Like G. Willow Wilson, Brian Wood, Jason Aaron, Cliff Chiang, Jock, and David Lapham weren’t enough. (There’s also a link to a LOCAL short film over there, so this is a two-for-one. Go already.)
2. Smart comics writers writing about other smart comics: Kieron Gillen takes apart Scott Pilgrim 5, peers at its insides, pokes at it a bit, and then still leaves me wanting ...

So I’ve been away for a week, and confirmed every opinion I already held about going on beach holidays (they’re really not for me). Before I went, I listed a load of possible posts I might make, and asked which ones people were interested in. One that more people seemed to want to see than I had ...
