So England and the USA are out of the World Cup. To comics! And comics-related things! Another Lying In The Gutters, running through the last week on Bleeding Cool…
Top Ten Most Read Posts Of The Week
1. DC Comics Launch iPad And iPhone App
Got this story up and early. Sucked all the bandwidth off the internet it seems.
2. Will Patrick Dempsey Play Doctor Strange?
It was just a question. Some people took it as fact. Some were outraged that any website would even ask such a question. What can I say, I understand he's been seen by the right people.
3. Forget Arsenal. Crossed Is The Book That Should Really Offend
How to get a well-read piece. Put Arsenal in the headline. It's that simple. But the point about a disparity of reaction remains.
4. Lauren Donner Wants Wonder Woman, Tori Black Beats Her
Warner Bros could have given it to Joss Whedon when he wanted it. They didn't. Will they make the same mistake with Lauren?
5. Mashing Up Mark Millar
I should do more of this. Recreating comic book scenes with other creators voice. Make sure you check the comments for at least one other quirky contribution.
6. Did DiDio Really Use McDuffie's JLA And The Great Ten To Defend DC's Diversity Record?
I doubt Bleeding Cool was the first to point out the oddness here. But it was well distilled, a blogger marker for people wanting to make a point.
7. Tuesday Runaround – Superman Messiah
That is very very pretty Frank Quitely artwork.
8. The Original Pac Man Artwork Unearthed
Slightly less pretty and kepty in a plastic folder- but could be worth millions of course.
9. Suicide Girls Banned From San Diego?
Gail Simone took the lead on this one, retweeting the article into the Top Ten.
10. Megan Fox Wants To Play Rainmaker In Gen 13. Fox News Reminds Everyone She's A Lesbian
It did seem a little incongruous for a respected news statio. Alright, even for Fox News.
Bubbling Under
Hasting being the first national chain in the USA. It was a scoop but it got pushed out of the top ten and these are the rules. Other scoops suffered too such as DC's letter to their freelancers – and Marvel's letter to theirs. Then there was Jeff Lemire signing an exclusive with DC Comics, Mike Mayhew hunting for models for a new Marvel project, Jim Steranko's attempt to help the Kirby case and DC making Generation Lost returnable,
Doctor Who got well covered with Ten Thoughts, a bit of finale preparation, Glastonbury video and HitchHiker's Guide To The Daleks.
Commentary on Superman #700, a PG Akira, taking the piss out of unfortunate lettering and Darick Robertson on The Boys. With numbercrunching reviews of Arsenal #4 and Sea Bear & Grizzly Shark. And speculation on the Superman/Batman Annual #4, offering a box set of The Wire to be won, laughing at football tweeting and a free copy of Bulletproof Coffin.
Five Things You Should Have Read But Probably Didn't
1. A review of Tamara Drewe
2. Portfolio Reviews At San Diego Are A Lottery, Literally
3. Hastings Exclusive covers from Top Cow and IDW
4. Bleeding Cool to split into two…
5. Wednesday Runaround – The Monkey And The Sinner
And a big thanks to columnists Adi Tantimedh, Joel Meadows, Si Spurrier, Mike And Aaron, and Eric M Esquivel. And a warm welcome to Brendon Connelly!
Next week this site will look very different…
