* Dan Didio killing off Nightwing has cropped up again. I’m told he thinks Nightwing has no place in the DCU. Now Didio has admitted before that Nightwing almost didn’t make it out of Infinite Crisis, and that he was on the chopping block.
* There is supposed to be another Unknown Soldier series in the works.
* Brian Denham will be replacing artist Sean Chen on Marvel’s Nova. Considering that he has been on board as a co-artist, this isn’t all that surprising. Plus, Nova is to play a big role in the future.
Dark Horse, will be doing a “[Marvel] Civil War-like crossover” with the four Star Wars titles, called Vector. Not satisfied with this piece of news, I dug a bit deeper… And thanks to some Jawa informants, I have come up with the following information on this Vector thing:
* Zayne Carrick, the primary character from the Knights of the Old Republic comic, will be a central character. Or at least very important /central at the beginning. Details were fuzzy on this one for me to be completely positive. I do know that the new character mentioned in the Force.net article will be a Jedi Covenant operative.
* Vector will involve Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and some Legacy characters.
* Titles involved will be Knights of the Old Republic, Dark Times, Legacy, and Rebellion.
* New characters will be introduced. Of course, this is kind of a given I would think.
* It will kick off from something in the Undercity of Taris. Some kind of ancient, “monstrous” evil is involved.
* It all starts in Knights of the Old Republic #25, due out in January. It will last a year.
Sure, I gained some Dark Side points, but what can I say

Tinkering around, I found this web address
Since this stuff comes from the Gideon II site, and indicates that there will be “Cypher” changes, I can only assume that they are going to add something, or change the password, or something.
I really did spend some time on this whole thing; and yes, that very same thought you are thinking right now did occur to me. First things first, Eric Trautmann, current co-writer on Checkmate, vehemently denied any involvement or knowledge of the site and is a bit confused over how the password ended up in Checkmate #17 (“Yeah, right”, I’m sure some of you say; don’t blame you). Eric also added that he is delighted by this website. So, even if he isn’t involved, at least he likes it.
This left primary scribe Greg Rucka. It took some time track to get a post from him nailed down, but he was kind enough to provide a statement on the matter: “Honestly, the first I knew about it was when I read the posts on Comic Bloc. I'm embarrassed to admit it took me about a week to figure out the username/password. I don't know who's doing it, but I sure as hell am impressed."
Greg’s not involved then? Or a clever ruse? I’ll take him on his word for now.
Hmmm… All signs also point to it not being an official DC thing either. Viral marketing? Obsessed fan-person? Covert operations from some PR source? It’s only guesswork right now. If anything else interesting pops up, I’ll make sure to mention it.
