Seeing as today is the 50th anniversary of the Sputnik 2 launch, it seemed to be a good time to check in with Nick Abadzis, creator of the Laika graphic novel. I caught up with him last night, as he was preparing for today's Laika presentation, including a new animation and a toast to the late great Soviet space dog herself, at the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts) in London...

Simon Oliver, best known for his work on Exterminators, is expanding his horizons--taking on a 6-issue arc of Wildstorm's Gen-13 (as revealed in San Diego), and just announced--writing a Hellblazer spinoff mini-series featuring Chas, John Constantine's long-suffering cab-driver friend...

Dunno how I missed this one (actually I do, I was on vacation and having wi-fi problems), but did anyone see the Tintin movie article on AOL Money & Finance? I briefly got all excited, envisioning an early-1980s Spielberg spectacle along the lines of Raiders of the Lost Ark, adapting Flight 714 or Tintin in Tibet, with fantastic location shots and killer action.

Now don't get me wrong. We were very happy with all the business we did last week, thanks to the "death" of Captain America. I was actually pretty pleased with myself for having ordered a bunch of extra copies. Marvel had hinted that something big was going to happen in Cap #25 (which I took with a grain of salt), but when I saw that there was no solicitation for Cap #26 in April, I fig

Well I had an absolute blast at the New York Comic Con. I got to catch up with some old friends, eat some great food, and generally enjoy the energy and excitement that goes with a good con. I probably should have slept some more and drank some more water, but whatever...
