DC Comics Announces Ongoing BATMAN BEYOND Series!

My prayers have been answered.  Long live Terry McGinnis.  On Saturday morning at Fan Expo in Toronto, DC Entertainment continued their panel schedule with the DC Universe panel, where they announced a BATMAN BEYOND ongoing series after the miniseries. 

Now if we could just get Paul Dini to start developing another Batman Beyond Cartoo, life would be wonderful.

Best Comic Buy this Wednesday - BONE: TALL TALES Prequel, Prequel

Today we have the arrival of Jeff Smith's latest Bone-related project, Tall Tales ($10.99 paperback, $22.99 hardcover). My nine year old son has become obsessed with Bone. He basically worships the Red Dragon. This "new" book basically collects material most Bone aficionados have read before (namely the Stupid, Stupid Rat Tails series).

Bone: Tall Tales serves as a perfect introduction to the series for new readers, and it's a must-have for long-time Bone fans as well. This fun collection of stories of Casper-looking underdogs is perfectly titled, because each and every funny tale Smiley shares 'round the campfire is a tall one. The glossy full-colour illustrations will reel kids in, and the high-falutin' stories will keep them intrigued. The tale of Bone's birth is especially off-the-wall. My favorite tale is the final story, in which Bone gathers a hodgepodge group of woodland creatures, including an adorable fox, a shy turtle, a very put-upon monkey, and a guardian dragon named Stillman who quickly stole a little piece of my heart, to help him in a fight against the evil rat creatures.

FIRST LOOK: BRIGHTEST DAY #7 - Why "the 12" Came Back

Geoff Johns promised that the answer to why "the 12" were resurrected at the end of BLACKEST NIGHT would be revealed in BRIGHTEST DAY #7.  This series, thus far, has been a disappointment for me.  I was hoping for a weekly series on par with 52, but unfortunately it has not lived up that standard.  I am not giving up on this series because Johns and Tomasi are two of the best writers in comics.  Let's hope the "big reveal" on Wednesday gives this story the boost it needs to keep all our interests.  Enjoy the preview of BRIGHTEST DAY #7 below.

Scott Pilgrim, Blackest Night dominate New York Times

The New York Times spotlights the debut of author Janet Evanovich's first graphic novel Troublemaker atop its graphic books bestseller list. The title's performance probably should be expected, though, considering the popularity of her novels.

What's more interesting is the domination of the hardcover and paperback charts by two series: DC Comics' Black Night collections, and the entire run of Oni Press' Scott Pilgrim.

Buoyed by the release last week of the final volume of Bryan Lee O'Malley's acclaimed series, and anticipation for the Aug. 13 debut of Edgar Wright's film adaptation, the Scott Pilgrim books claimed the top six spots on the paperback list, with Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour debuting at No. 1.

Meanwhile, on the hardcover list, five Blackest Night collections fell into place behind Evanovich's novel: Blackest Night: Black Lantern Corps, Vols. 1 and 2; Blackest Night; Blackest Night: Green Lantern; and Blackest Night: Green Lantern Corps.

Tony Daniel Takes over BATMAN Title

Tony Daniel will permanently take over as writer and artist on the regular BATMAN series.   I have mixed emotions because Grant Morrison frustrated me immensely at times, but am indifferent to Tony's run thus far.  I'm willing to stick with it and see what comes about this Fall and Winter.  I am hoping for good things for the Bat family.

Quote from Tony for the The Source blog:
“I am thrilled and honored to be tapped for further writing duties on the world’s most iconic super hero, Batman. I look forward to telling exciting tales with the caped crusader and exploring old and new characters alike. I will continue to put my best foot forward on each and every page.”

DC Announcement: Black Lanterns Return in October

DC did not release any details with this beautiful David Finch Cover.  Is it a Halloween one-shot or is it something more related to BRIGHTEST DAY or the DCU as a whole. We will just have to enjoy this wonderful art and wait until October to find out additional details.

Welcome to the Jungle: The Stuff of Legend Vol. 2 #1 preview


Following up on their hit miniseries The Stuff of Legend, Th3rd World Studios will release The Stuff of Legend: The Jungle #1 this Wednesday by Mike Raicht, Brian Smith and Charles Paul Wilson III. Here's how they describe the book:
Following the liberation of the board game town of Hopscotch, a brave band of toys continues the quest to rescue their human master from the nightmare realm of the Dark. With the Boogeyman's army fast approaching for battle, Max the teddy bear and his friends discover one of the Dark's oldest secrets, and a new threat that could destroy them all.
If you're not reading this wonderful book, start!  This is one of the best books on the market today.  The art is beautiful and breath-taking.  The writing is brilliant and captivates the reader immediately by transporting you into a world filled with wonderfully defined characters.
