I think the Dark version of the potentially gay Young Avengers characters (I still say that Marvel has yet to actually say that they’re gay… which is kind of pussy of them. How can they have no problem with Ultimate Colossus making out with Ultimate North Star, but can’t actually definitively out Wiccan and Hulkling?), would be southern football players who, while totally gay themselves, are deeply closeted because of their horrific, close-minded, heavily conservative backgrounds, and to convince themselves they’re not gay, constantly talk about how gay everything is… but secretly go home and make out while watching SEX IN THE CITY. See, it’s dark because they don’t accept their inherit gayness. Or something.

Got beat to Riftwar explanation, but Special Forces was only four issues…

Oh, man! Leigh beat me to it. Yeah, I have a copy of that Perez RIFTS story – Chris, I’m surprised you haven’t read it. You should totally check it out.

Holy shit, how did I miss that Marvel is doing a trade paperback REPRINTING MARVEL SAGA’s? That is the worst thing I’ve ever heard. The Ents should be super-pissed-off about what a waste of trees that shit is. The Ents should attack the Marvel offices, and throw boulders through the windows at them.

1) This is great. Please consider doing at least one more, next month hopefully?

2) This seems like as good a place as any to finally make the comment that, uh, the whole rainbow-brite lantern corps thing? Migawd. I’m trying to think of some parallel in awfulness. There must be one, but nothing’s coming to mind. Migawd.

Toronto’s own Ramón Pérez did a bunch of RIFTS comics back in the day, published by Palladium (bundled with various RPG supplements, with Palladium’s trademark lame book design). I’d buy the hell out of a new edition.

I actually have the first six novels of the Riftwar books by Raymond Feist, but then he went all sub series this and prequel that, and then did a bunch of other spin offs. The first five were pretty damn good though…

Waid’s Batman is a one-shot because is going to be simultaneously published in Spain and Italy. In Spain is going to be published in spanish and in catalonian, and the on sale date of the product is the International ComicCon that takes place every year in Barcelona.
Not to defend DC’s saturation of the market with more batcomics, but to clarify his decision. ;)
I hope you meet de Previews deadline ;)
