Sorry about no coolness late in the week. Some time even I get boarded.
Here is my Nemesis in the comics world, in what I think is the funnest thing ever posted on youtube

Looking in the BKV forums I found an interesting thread. In it C.B. Cebulski shoots down guesses as to who this mysterious woman will be in Loners. It’s not Amiko, Magik, Spiral or Scorpion… Who is it? WHO? Remember that this is the OTHER new character, besides the possible appearance Penance (not the current Speedball-Penance in Thunderbolts… confused yet?)
You bet your ass I’ll try to find out.
Well, DC kept the solicitations for previously craped "Countdown" issues 51,50,49 and 48 out of the solicitation listings they sent to the press, but they remained in the online catalogue and can be seen here, priced at $2.99 each, with a poster, as well as a signed version of #51 from Dynamic Forces.
What hasn't been seen yet are the solicitation details. Well, I can tell you that each issue will have a different creative team, with Paul Dini acting as "showrunner," "52"'s Keith Giffen providing breakdowns and Andy Kubert and Tim Townsend providing covers.
Looking at May's issues, the first issue, #51, is written by Paul Dini and drawn by Jesus Saiz. "Hawkman" team Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray write the next issue, drawn by Jim Califiore. Then Tony Bedard writes, with Carlos Magno on art and finally Adam Beecham writes #48 with art from David Lopez.
This seems like a perfect way for DC to carry over the large audience that "52" carved out for itself and for lots of happy retailers. Expect lots of early incentives to keep them on board as as well.
Also expect to hear plenty more details about this from DC at NYCC and in this week's Previews. It's notable that on the Diamond website, there is no available "back cover" image file for Previews. Yet. I understand that will update on Thursday.
It's okay, that's what I'm here for.
Marvel will announce that the mysterious Bendis/Mack Daredevil project is actually "Daredevil: The End," part of Marvel's run of "final stories" for their characters. Already named Bill Sienkiewicz as one artist on the project and I understand Klaus Janson is another. But I understand this will be a big celebratory project for the character, with a lot of ex-Daredevil artists (minus the one everyone is thinking of) getting involved.
Also expect DC to confirm the marriage of Green Arrow and Black Canary. I understand that the "Green Arrow" title will be cancelled and replaced with "Green Arrow/Black Canary." Probably a good time for that previously mentioned "Green Arrow: Year One" series to run as well.
I also understand that both DC and Marvel will be announcing exclusive creators and "stolen" creators - people traditionally aligned to one company, now working for the other.
Friday night's Top Cow/Marc Silvestri (5pm, room 1E16) will announce a Top Cow virgin major creator working on a major Top Cow title (not Paul Dini, that's already been announced) as well as Marc's big project for 2007 in conjunction with another publisher. But not Marvel...

"Captain America" #25 ships soon. I am of the understanding that a lot of people are going to want a copy of this issue which sets up the whole "Fallen Soldier Son" storyline. Might well be a bit of press attention. You've been warned.

At MegaCon, David Finch was showing off covers from "World War Hulk," without realising he may have been giving out spoilers for the big ending.
The planet in question does its best impression of Krypton.
As for the "Civil War" #7 spoilers circulating... no. Different ballgame. Pick it up tomorrow.
Another unmentionable nibble, teasing Marvel again, you know, if you don't want people to know who gets shot in "Amazing Spider-Man," don't send out subscriber copies early…. especially not to libraries.
And for now here is how I think civil war will end.....
Gossip reaches me that Marvel have created their own "get out of jail free" card for whatever continuity issues or interminable plot dead ends they find themselves in the future. The recent "Ms Marvel Special," ignored by most, features a new character "Storyteller" who can not only transform fiction into reality but can, if he wishes, change the ending.
Handy if you ever want to reverse someone's marital state, bring a permantently-dead character back to life, or change the ending to a popular mini-series as and when you wish...
