From the solicitation:
Finally, the secrets of this year's most talked about event can be revealed! Witness how Darkseid's death shattered the Multiverse, creating continuity ripples throughout the DC Universe! Submit to Darkseid and read the full Anti-Life Equation! This is a book you cannot resist to buy!
During a routine perusing of the DC Comics Message Board, I stumbled across a reference to an Evil Inc cameo in Top Ten, Season Two #3.
On Page 15 / Panel 3, in the upper right-hand corner, are Dr. Haynus and Iron Dragon! I'm gonna have to snag that ish for myself. Meanwhile, big thanks to Henchman CanRock for the scan.
This can only be a heartfelt compliment from the talented team of Zander Cannon and Gene Ha. That is, unless sharing the scene with the likes of Signal Man, Kite Man, Ten-Eyed Man, Ragman, Fisher Man and Letter Man was meant to be a hint! ;)
Either way, having my characters cameoed in a DC pub is an awesome thing! Thanks to whomever is responsible for that!
Evil Inc sadly notes the passing of a woman whose voice personified evil itself, Eartha Kitt. Whether she was rasping "Santa Baby," or purring at Adam West's Batman as the quintessential Catwoman, you just knew she was up to no good as soon as she parted her lips.
[OBIT MAGAZINE] Sex symbols always confront the world’s morality, but few went to such lengths as Eartha Kitt, who died on Christmas Day from colon cancer at age 81 after some six decades of being a flash point of provocative glamour. Whether asking Santa Claus for a yacht (with an obvious payback in mind) in her hit “Santa Baby” or seductively plying a man young enough to be her grandson with champagne during her nightclub act, Kitt presented herself with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude that defied the judgments of others. While the pop music world breathlessly wonders if the similarly confrontational Madonna has gone too far, those sexual-cum-political trails were blazed earlier and more completely by Eartha Kitt.
Read the entire obituary.
And special thanks to Henchman Rem Dog who passes along a wonderful clip of a song I need to remember for the closing credits of the Evil Inc TV series...

OPEN MEMO TO NEWS ORGANIZATIONS: As an unofficial spokesperson for the Super-villain Community, I would like to respectfully request that you use the term pyramid scheme when reporting on the Bernie Madoff financial fraud story. The term you're using -- Ponzi scheme -- is too cute-sounding. It sounds like the kind of fraud a muppet would commit... the kind that would result in the loss of millions of dollars worth of ping-pong balls or whoppee cushions or something.
Ed Ryzowksi, the very talented man who colours this strip, has posted a video of how he transforms this strip into the full-spectrum, technicolor masterwork you see every day. It's simply stunning to see it gradually take form in front of your eyes.
