John Byrne to finish Chuck Austen’s Worldwatch

Friday, February 5th, 2010

In a move set to send shockwaves through my bathroom, legendary writer/penciller/all-round-nice-guy John Byrne has allegedly agreed to finish off fellow multi-hyphenate Chuck Austen’s creator owned Worldwatch.

The comic, featuring an analogy of Wonder Woman sans clothes, was to have been 7 issues in length but only 3 were released. The second  was also controversial because it featured a letter firing Austen – who owned the publishing company Wild and Wooly Press – and stating he would be replaced by Sam Clemens. Or Mark Twain, I can’t recall.

Look forward to lots more censored penii in your Wednesday comics pile around March of 2015 when the series  dubbed “the SHOWGIRLS of comics” by Newsarama poster BRease returns.

Geoff Johns to take over DC for a month

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

 

In an unprecedented – but not unlikely – move, DC comics are to announce that superstar writer Geoff Johns will be taking over the DC Universe.

In June 2010, the publisher will hand over the reigns off all of their comics to the spectacular scribe of such hits as Stars and Stripe to do with what he will. All books during that month will be written by the critically acclaimed creator of Day of Judgment, and it is believed there will be a recurrent theme. How this will affect the ongoing runs of this monumental artiste who counts JSA: Our Worlds at War #1 amongst his greatest achievement is unknown, but DC are fully behind him on this.

Will Mark Bagley will be drawing all of the issues?

Look out for more information in March 2010 when DC release their June solicitations.
