Fatale looks really good, that new book Brubaker and Phillips are putting out through Image.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=34918

And of course, that 25 issue Conan: Queen of the Black Sea series coming from the Northlanders author, very very cool.

I missed this bit of news: the next Brubaker/Philips collaboration, Fatale, will be released on Image, and not ICON:
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=34918

"Obviously, shifting to Image is a new step for creators who have done the majority of their work at Marvel Comics in recent years, but Brubaker said the match of "Fatale" with the creator-owned powerhouse is no sign that they're done with the House of Ideas. "I've been promising [Publisher] Eric [Stephenson] and [Robert] Kirkman that I'd do a project at Image for years," he said. "Really, it was one of those things where I love my relationship with Marvel, and I'll do more books at Icon for sure, but I felt it was time to fulfill that promise so I could get them to stop calling me all the time. A lot of friends of mine seem to be having good success over there. It's a good time to be at Image, and really, Kirkman has promised me that he'll give me advanced looks at the new episodes of 'Walking Dead' if I do a book there."

The concept has me hooked. These two never disappoint.

Read Action Comics 2; glad to see John Henry Irons, hopefully it's more than a cameo. I still really dislike the way Morales draws Luthor though.

The real comic topic people know I posted that link before that guy.


Oh yeah, I just watched that Justice League: Doom trailer, looks very cool. Bane's line made me wonder, how long ago would he have paralyzed Batman in current continuity? Batgirl was paralyzed three years ago, so it must've been pretty recently.

Well, Barbara was shot like 20 years ago and Bane broke Bruce's back like 15 years ago, so if we assume that the timeline was compressed roughly linearly, I'd guess something like 2.25 years ago.

Two years sounds about right, that's what I figured. With The Dark Knight Rises coming, I hope we see Bane as a big villain in the Batman books soon.

It is kinda funny to think about the timeline, 80s three years ago, 90s two years ago, etc. Of course it's all wacky, but it's fun to think on. Ha, could make the 70s four or five years ago.

To further go zany with it, R'as Al Ghul was introduced in 1971, which could be roughly halfway into Batman's ten year career, and he's got a son who's what 8 or so? Continuity baby.

To be honest I doubt they thought it through enough to make everything consistent, given what a huge task that would be. This is probably especially true with regards to events involving Batman or the Lanterns plus other characters who were given a clean slate.

True true.

Speaking of the Crisis, much like now, Batman is never effected too much by these. After all, we just got Batman: Year One after which didn't change much I can think of, and then back to regular Batman stories like usual. With a couple retcons thrown in, like re-introducing Jason Todd.

Well one guy at DC claims that he put together a huge, detailed timeline to make sure things fit together.

But it's probably the Zelda Timeline all over again.

So I checked out American Vampire from my school's library a few weeks ago and I just now got around to reading it.

GREAT stuff, I'm glad vampires can be taken seriously again. Although, at the moment, I'm not sure if I care too much for the actual character of Skinner...but at the very least, I'm intrigued.

So I'm looking into acquiring the rest of the series right now....where does this Survival of the Fittest mini fit in? When am I supposed to read that?

It'd be best to read after the first 2 arcs, where those characters are introduced.

Is the Stephen King backup in the regular trade?

By backup do you mean Skinner's origin story in the 1880s? Yeah, it's in there. It would be pretty bad if it wasn't, since that seems like a fairly sizable chunk of the story! And it's published the same way as it would be in a comic book, with each story alternating as opposed to each bit all at once. Stephen King also wrote a foreword for the trade, too.

In fact I'm fairly sure the only reason my college added it to their library was because Stephen King's name is on the cover. <_<"

Not really. I skimmed some of it but I'm just not at all in a comic mood right now, even though the game I can't wait for is a comic book game...

Video games are too interesting right now. Once I'm done with AC and then Uncharted 3, I'm sure I'll be more into comics again. I still have a bunch from last week and this week that I haven't read.
