ComicMix catchup

February 26, 2007

We at ComicMix are dedicated to bringing you as much stuff as we can, but we also know that means sometimes you miss things. We know you want tagging and site feed and comments and that’s all coming down the pike real soon, but in the meantime here’s your handy-dandy guide to the second round of entries by our regular columnists.

Mike Gold – Whizzy’s Wazoo #2: War is over
Dennis O’Neil – The Four-Color Answer? #2: What would Green Lantern do?
Me again – It’s All Good #2: Rennies, wonks and fen
John Ostrander – Off in the O-Zone #2: Scattershot – Past/Present
Michael Davis – Straight, No Chaser #2: Nut jobs

Look for Mike every Monday (in fact, his latest should be right below), Denny on Tuesday, me on Wednesday, John on Thursday, and Michael on Friday, and guest features on the weekend. For those of you who, like me, grew up with the Marvel superhero cartoons in the ’60s, that means Mike = Captain America, Denny = the Hulk, me = Iron Man, John = Thor, and Michael = Namor. (Hey, don’t knock it, that’s how I first discovered that Thursday was named after Thor!)

We also gave you a special "mother and child reunion" pair of featured columns this past weekend:

Martha Thomases: Ain’t I A Woman?
Arthur Tebbel: X-Men strand Gen Y

And our latest podcasts, hosted by Mellifluous Mike Raub, continue:

New Adams-Miller Batman pages at NYCC

News
February 23, 2007

ComicMix caught up with Neal Adams this afternoon to talk Batman, and received a couple nice surprises.

Adams is indeed collaborating with Frank Miller on a long-anticipated Batman miniseries entitled Batman: Odyssey, and originally slated for six issues but he believes the story will warrant enough material for eight. Adams has created and will be plotting and pencilling the story, with Miller supplying the dialogue. Adams will also be inking the first two issues — and NYCC attendees can see the entire #1 (beautifully detailed art, all of which you can see as there’s no lettering on the booth copy) — but expressed an interest in having other long-time (and as yet unnamed) inkers work over his pencils for future issues.

Until the book is finally scheduled by DC, the place to see the preview will be Booth A317 in Artists Alley.

Mike Raub’s interview with Neal Adams will be on our Podcast this Tuesday.
