Next Nexus

Next Nexus

Via Heidi MacDonald at The Beat, we see that new adventures of Nexus, our favorite interstellar killer of mass murderers, will be coming out in July.

Clearly, this leaves us with a large hunk of questions over here at ComicMix. After all, if Nexus can come back in this day and age, complete with the original creators, what could possibly be next?

John Ostrander and Timothy Truman on GrimJack?

Mike Grell doing new Jon Sable Freelance?

Del Close coming back from the grave for new Munden’s Bar stories?

Obviously, if we have any information about any of these properties, we’ll let you know.

Soon.

Unless something else comes along to eclipse that news.

The native American artform

The native American artform

As one of the most popular artforms ever to originate in the US, you’d think comics would pay more attention to our indigenous population. Sadly, this industry has lagged along with just about every other one in exploring the rich history and contributions of the peoples who were here before we were.

Coinciding with the release of the new book Native Americans in Comic Books by writer/artist (and member of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma) Michael Sheyahshe, Emmett Fury of Comic Book Resources takes a look at the past and present comic book portrayals of Native Americans, interviewing Sheyahsye as well as Mike Grell, Jason Aaron, David Mack, Jeff Mariotte, Jay Odjick, Robert Schmidt, Timothy Truman and Mark Waid. One hopes for a follow-up with at least one woman (perhaps Cindy Goff, writer of Dreams of Looking Up).

Grell gets busy

Grell gets busy

Now’s your chance to gather up all those Mike Grell comics and get ’em signed!  Mike informs us he’ll be very busy this spring, hitting the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle on March 31-April 1, the Pittsburgh Comicon in Monroeville, PA on April 27-29, and the Iowa Comic Book Club’s I-CON 2007 in the 4-H Building at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines on May 19.  Who knew state fairs featured comic book clubs?  We city-dwellers miss so much sometimes…

What went wrong with Warlord?

What went wrong with Warlord?

Scott Dutton is Defending Skataris, where he tries to analyze why DC’s recent revival of The Warlord didn’t work. I have my own suspicions, but you can’t have Mike Grell, he’s busy. On the other hand, if Dwayne McDuffie can do what he did in Justice League Unlimited

UPDATE: It seems that Alex Ness is asking the same question.
