The New DCU: The Video Pitch

Well, they're not lacking in enthusiasm, I'll say that much. In a video that is heavy on the optimism and light on the humility, DC's Dan Didio, Jim Lee, Grant Morrison, Bob Harras and Eddie Berganza lay on the hard sell for the New DC.

Apparently, the best is yet to come, for real this time. What do you think, folks? Are we excited for September?

LEGO Green Lantern and Superman Appearing At Hero Complex Film Festival

LEGO artist Nathan Swaya will be displaying his Superman and Green Lantern sculptures at the upcoming Hero Complex Film Festival in Los Angeles. Sawaya is among the world's most respected LEGO artists, with works currently on exhibit in Paris and Melbourne. 

Fans at the Hero Complex can pose for photos with Superman and GL while listening to announcements from Geoff Johns and Jim Lee that purportedly will be even more earth-shattering and controversial than what we've been hearing from DC these past few weeks - I honestly can't imagine anything more shocking than that Teen Titans cover, but thankfully Superman and GL will be on hand - in brick form, anyway - to handle any reboot announcement-related chaos.

Li'l Jim Lee Draws Wolverine

Aww I remember gems like this from Marvel Age magazine! It was a simpler time, when Marvel editors didn't bank on nerd rage (sigh) for sales. Though the mag may be gone, Jim Lee is still around, and he reprinted this gem from his youth via Twitter.

13 years old and one of the best Wolverine illos I've seen this year! This kid just might have a future in comics.

Variance: Ex Machina No. 50 Jim Lee Sketch Cover

Mayor Hundred goes out with a bang, as Ex Machina #50 concludes one of the most underrated ongoing series of the last decade.  Sadly, our real New York Mayor isn't nearly so classy as to craft an end to his story - he's used his eighth-richest-American billions and his very inappropriate media holdings (Government officials aren't supposed to control mass media in democracies) to change the laws and pretty much establish himself in office for life.


On the other hand, he doesn't get this sweet-ass Jim Lee sketch variant cover.  Comics = 2, real life = 0.

Farewell, Great Machine - you'll be missed.  And thanks to Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris for a great ride.
