ComicsAlliance Week in Review: April 21-27
And, as always, a lot of comics and comics-related stuff was talked about, much of which you can find recapped after the jump.
-Whether you think DC Comics and artists like Lee Bermejo, Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conner should be doing it or not (they shouldn't be doing it), it's hard to argume that Bermejo, Cooke and Conner aren't good artists, as this preview art promoting the controversial Before Watchmen project demonstrates
-DC offers a look at some art from their "second wave" of New 52 titles, which will be replacing the first of series canceled since last fall's line-wide relaunch
-The Clark Gregg-portrayed SHIELD Agent from the Marvel movies is now going to be a character in the Marvel comic book universe. And, oh yeah, Samuel L. Jackson is going to be the new 616 Nick Fury, too.
