Another DCeased cover. Variant?
Yeah this has to be a variant
That one omnibus will surpass the weight limit of any shelf you buy.
Messi's IST orders frequently lead to the deaths of many USPS employees.
Oh my.
This is a direct response to DCEASED isn't it?
Probably will not be as fun as the original and Marvel Zombies 2. Loved that second book.
Fucking weirdos.
And that's coming from a guy that buys AND READS physical comics.
They really do. They've improved from how they were awhile back, but still rough when it comes to these big ones.
So it's SDCC time, which comes with my usual 'come over and say hi if you're there, Era fam' post.
This year I'm debuting a Trumps style card game and three new books, including my 4-short story anthology, Deadlier Than, for the first time in the US. It's essentially 3 short comics with 1 prose fable, all women driven fantasy/sci-fi tales with themes of self worth, identity, disability, privilege and mental health.
We've been co-signed by a few industry names, including Kieron Gillen, Rhianna Pratchett (who wrote the foreword), Heather Antos and Leah Moore, so feel free to swing by table P-09 (small press) to check it out. We're the only two black Brit creators in that area, so we're pretty easy to spot...

City of Bane's started off great! Even the mandated Year of the Villain Luthor gift bit was good.
:(
wait where did you see that
Most of the issue was pretty good but wow Gotham Girl is annoying as hell
The more things change the more they stay the same.
This was wack. It's like they threw her with the first available lesbian because Renee was gone and they were too lazy to create a new character.
Why create a new one when there's already a relatively unused, semi-popular character?
DC's profit sharing for new characters is nonexistent, so I guess that's a good response. My kneejerk reaction though was that having more diversity is never a bad thing.
Yo Bergara on twitter kiiind of implying there could be more from the world of Coda to come, I know that'll please some folks in here (looking forward to reading through the rest this week).
Those Hickman X previews were great

I picked up Batman this week because I had heard some interesting things about it. I actually enjoyed the overall direction of what King is doing here, but man I never need to see Tony Daniel art again. And... why the... hell... does Bane... talk... like Swamp... Thing... now...?
A few of the Superman creators on Word Balloon mentioned that they get decent royalty checks for their original characters when they're in movies or CW shows, so there is at least some benefit to making new characters.
I'll stick with my HCs for the foreseeable future. Don't want to commit now and find out DC have cancelled omnibus 2 in April 2021.
the famous bit of trivia being that Len Wein got more from co-creating Lucius Fox than he did from co-creating Wolverine, and if you wanna get even more minor, Jim Starlin got more from co-creating the random mercenary leader guy credited as "Anatoli Knyazev" (which is to say, KGBeast) in Batman V. Superman than he did for co-creating Thanos
Wow! Do Marvel/Fox not do royalties at all or do they just use a paltry rate?
Hush omnibus
Hitman reprints
Brave and the Bold omnibuses (2 and 3)
Giffen Suicide Squad
(The facebook page has a huge list but these are the ones I was keeping an eye on).
On top of cancelling the Starman solicits twice in the last few years.
wow, Life Story hits the 2000s and not a single mention of secret goblin children? missed opportunity Zdarsky
