    ALL FLASH #1 - NEWSARAMA

    Posted by Chris Mosby on 28th June 2007

    ALL FLASH #1 - NEWSARAMA

    ALL FLASH #1



    DC
    has provided Newsarama with a preview sequence ( a framing sequence for
    the entire issue) by Mark Waid and artist Karl Kerschl for All Flash #1, which arrives in stores in three weeks.

    Remember, retail orders placed on The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #14 transfer over to All Star Flash #1, so if you have The Flash #14
    on your local comics shop or online “pull list” you should be covered.
    If you’re not, be quick, retailers orders on the issue have to be
    finalized Thursday.

    Following is the information DC released about the issue…

    Dan Didio’s Blog on MySpace.com hacked

    Posted by Chris Mosby on 18th June 2007

    Looks like Dan Didio’s blog on MySpace.com was hacked and two spam posts (with a racy picture) were inserted last night. I sent a message to let them know, but they are still there as of this morning, so I guess no one has noticed. Below is example of the text.

    WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T CLICK ANY LINKS IN THESE POSTS!!! They will probably install malware on your computer.

    Hopefully someone that has better contacts at DC will read this and let them know before someone gets infected by this.

    HEROES CON/WW PHILLY ‘07: DIDIO ON DWAYNE McDUFFIE WRITING JLA - NEWSARAMA

    Posted by Chris Mosby on 17th June 2007

    Read the rest of the article at the link below.

    HEROES CON/WW PHILLY ‘07: DIDIO ON DWAYNE McDUFFIE WRITING JLA - NEWSARAMA

    HEROES CON/WW PHILLY ‘07: DIDIO ON DWAYNE McDUFFIE WRITING JLA



    And
    the question is answered. Since he started his run on the series with
    #0, Brad Meltzer made no secret that his run as the writer on Justice League of America would end with #12. And that’s in August.

    So – who gets the job next?

    Dwayne McDuffie, longtime comics writer, and perhaps, best known in JLA fans view as one of the writers on the animated Justice League Unlimited series. McDuffie will start with the JLA Wedding Special in September, shipping just prior to Justice League of America #13, with art by Joe Benitez (regaulr series artist Ed Benes will return on the series with #14).

    While we’ll have a chat with McDuffie shortly, we spoke with DCU Executive Editor Dan DiDio about the new writer.

    As announced earlier today at Philadelphia, in September DC will continue to expand upon and explore the world of Countdown with Countdown to Mystery, a new eight issue series beginning in September that like Countdown to Adventure will feature two stories each issue, this time exploring the magical/mystical corner of the DCU.

    The first story by writer Steve Gerber and artists Justiniano and Walden Wong will pick up on the fate of the Helmut of Fate, after the series of one-shots several months ago. Then the back-up story by Matt Sturges and Stephen Segovia stars Eclipso.

    We caught up with both writers for some brief words about their respective stories…
