DC's Villainous Tease

Countdown tease When DC's Countdown launched, they released a teaser image that spawned a heated debate about the direction of the upcoming series.

DC's Executive Editor Dan DiDio has finally come clean about the meaning of the image.

[NEWSARAMA] Well now, we’re into Countdown’s run, and DiDio has decided it’s time to come clean – to let some fans know they’re right, to let others know that, while their guess may have been meticulously researched, they were slightly off base, and to drop a couple of major teases about what’s to come. Read the entire interview.

And now that that's settled, DC has released a new image for us to puzzle over. Click on the image at the top for a larger view.

Phables

Ask anybody who lives in a big city and they'll tell you. We like it when the police catch a drug dealer, but we'd love it if they'd lock up the cretin who refuses to clean up after his dog.

Wapsi Square: Book 2

Blank Label Comics is excited to announce the release of the "Wapsi Square: The Demons In My Back Pocket" by cartoonist Paul Taylor.

Longtime fans of the strip will see all of their spicy favorites including Tina, Phix and the alluring Golem Girls.

With a foreword and afterword by Lea Hernandez and a special note from Jess Hickman, this book showcases some of the very best of Taylor's seductive linework and engaging writing.

The book is 8.5" x 11" / 160 pages, with perfect binding and black-and-white interior ink. You can order one right now through Lulu.
