Amanda Conner: One of the faces of SDCC 2012

Amanda Conner, already a cult-favorite illustrator thanks to her work on THE PRO and POWER GIRL, now finds her involvement with BEFORE WATCHMEN: SILK SPECTRE  elevating her to a position of even greater notoriety. For example, her lovely/devilish face adorns one of the ads for the upcoming San Diego Comic Con, the nation's biggest comics extravaganza, and they even had the good taste to include a quote featuring her rather Nietzschean outlook on the whole experience.

A good move all around!

3 Chicks Review Comics gushes over 'Ame-Comi Girls: Wonder Woman' #1

Now that the digital AME-COMI GIRLS: WONDER WOMAN #1 has hit, reviews are inevitable and the one found over at 3 Chicks Review Comics is pretty much a full-on love-fest. The reviewers are clearly fans of what Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray do as writers, citing them for their strong handle on female characters, but the real avalanche of kudos is reserved for artist Amanda Conner, about whom the reviewers pretty much could not stop voicing their admiration. Click here to listen to the podcast, and stick around for the whole thing because the other subjects covered are just as interesting to hear.

'New West'-ward, ho!

Hooray for Hollywood! Jimmy Palmiotti and Phil Noto's THE NEW WEST has been picked up for production by New Regency. Everything's still pretty much in the embryonic stages but you can go to ComicBookMovie.com to gather what intel there is. And stay tuned to this blog for further developments!

'Injustice' for all


Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray have been tapped to craft the story for INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US, the DC-centric superhero fighting game from NetherRealm Studios, the gamemakers behind Mortal Kombat. That bodes well because the company had the good sense to rope the talents of two veteran comics scripters who both love and know the genre and the particulars thereof, thus they create from an involved and caring standpoint, so this upcoming video game holds a great deal of promise. You can peep the game's trailer here.

SEXY MONDAY 119

Sorry I missed last week...there has been so much press and things to do around a bunch of projects of mine that I have had no time to myself.

THIS WEEK ALONE: we have CREATOR-OWNED COMICS #1 coming out, as well as G.I. COMBAT #2...and then there is the NEW WEST movie announcment, the WarnerBros game : INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US, the weekly AME -COMI strip on Comixology, and so much more. I am tired.

Anyway, some extra photos this week, so I hope you enjoy them. Comments are welcome.
