snap judgments no, really, there are some comics you really should read

No Service – Friday at SDCC

Quickie Update:  I just asked the Joe Quesada panel if people check in regarding character continuity when people use characters from comic to comic (oh sayyyy.... Kingpin!  Showing up in one book, going to Japan, used in two other books between that one published later, and on and on).  I tried to phrase it well, but...

No dice.  They are to understaffed to keep track of that, just enjoy the stories was the bottom line.  I tried to compare it to Lucas Licensing, but since they don't have a ranch, that sort of continuity check is just out of their reach.  6 movies versus the 80-some books they publish, so many characters... just not possible, says Mr. Q.

Discuss.

Take That Joss! – Friday at SDCC

'Cause it's fun to do...  LIVE from Cup O' Joe!

1) Terry Moore's taking over on Runaways from Joss Whedon!  Yay!  It's a pretty soon announcement, maybe Joss is overworked with all his books, who knows, WHO CARES!  Humberto Ramos and Terry Moore will be handling the book after the current story is over.

2)  Phil Jimenez is coming over to Marvel!  Hoorah.
