Judd Winick will leave Catwoman after the end of the first
year, with luxurious Ann Nocenti taking over with the ‘zero’ issue and
continuing on from then. Excellent news on the Nocenti front! Surely, the
character she is most suited to writing? And Winick will keep busy, as he turns
his attention to a new all-ages graphic novel, the details of which are still
under wraps.
This is the new Marvel teaser for a third Carnage miniseries, presumably to be written by Zeb Wells.
The lawyer who wanted to sue webcomics site The Oatmeal for
strange reasons has dropped his suit, and claimed victory. Why he’s done this
when the whole case has been a massive backfire for his credibility, reputation
and client is beyond me, although I suppose any publicity is… some publicity.
CBR have an overview of the story over on their Robot 6 blog.
The official facebook page for Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man
film – out now, fact-fans – has announced that this film will be the first in a
planned trilogy. If you’re going to see the movie this weekend, make sure to
stick around after the credits for, you guessed it, a bonus scene setting up a
sequel. The movie has had a lukewarm reception, with many people not interested
in seeing another origin story and all the same story points used again – but
noting that Andrew Garfield is a superior Peter Parker to Tobey Maguire, and
that the love story with Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy is excellently done. Who will
appear as the villain in the next one? Norman Osborn again? Or will we see a
previously unused villain like Shocker, Rhino, Hobgoblin (a PROPER one, I
mean), Mysterio or, uh, The Jackal?
For the next five days on The Beat I’ll be running down the
nominees for this year’s Russ Manning art award, which is given out at San
Diego Comic-Con. The first one is up now!
