The long saga of the movie version of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman spin-off, Death: The High Cost of Living, seems to have come to the latest in a line of endings with Gaiman’s proclaiming the project a victim of Warner Bros’ recent renewed focus on DC Comics properties. In a new interview with Vulture, he said,
I can’t quite tell if this means that the current Fairy Tale fad (Disney’s Alice In Wonderland, as well as upcoming movies based on Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel and others) has jumped the shark or not, but Entertainment Weekly is reporting that former Lost executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz have re-teamed [...]
A week after DC Entertainment announced that it was moving all but its print publication side to Burbank and closing its Wildstorm imprint entirely – moves that would, according to paperwork filed by the company itself, result in a loss of a third of its staff – the news comes that three editors from Vertigo, [...]
DC’s Vertigo line may be about to lose the character that started it all, as rumors claim that Swamp Thing will soon be returning to the mainstream superhero DC Universe line.

It is going to be another great week for comics. We have milestone issues, story arc wrap ups, and over seas hijinks. Both the “Enders Game” spinoff series “Command School” and the “Invincible” spinoff series “Atom Eve and Rex Splode” are wrapping up. Dick Grayson faces his worst nightmare while in London. The Punisher and [...]
