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 “mature readers” …

My favorite comment on The Event so far:
“Nope, that really sucked.” 60 MINUTES EARLIER: “Hey, maybe The Event won’t suck.”

Come back on Thursday for the Panel of the Week and the Comic Book …
Marvel’s editor-in-chief Joe Quesada has let it be known that upcoming plans for Marvel Entertainment are likely to include some kind of live-action TV series. This isn’t Marvel’s first stab at television, of course: for more than 35 years, they’ve been trying to get their comics the kind of promotion that the small screen can offer. A …
