“…Comics stories are large ongoing things, and the people who read them are extremely aware of almost everything that’s going on inside and outside the individual comic.

“‘Final Crisis’ happens in ‘Final Crisis.’ And Justice League will continue their adventures in ‘Justice League of America.’ The timelines do gel. But you don’t have to figure out where everybody is every five seconds. At some point, [the events of ‘Final Crisis’] happened to the Justice League and it will be pretty clear when [...]

So often, the books no one is [...]
Justice League Heroes comes out today and funnily enough Joe D. called me last night and said he was at Wal-Mart (or did he say K-Mart) last night and ran into JLH writer Dwayne McDuffie who was buying a PS2 to play his game because he didn’t have one. (Joe said he only got his [...]
DC just posted a Milestone Forever promo piece on their blog. Pretty amazing how it comes off as if DC & Milestone have been happily married this whole time, and even as if Dwayne McDuffie couldn’t be more pleased with the whole arrangement.
