Another collection of random news stories from around the web.
- New Guiding Lines Column up: This week, I cover Logan #1, The Dark Tower: The Long Road Home #1, Justice League: The New Frontier Special, Dead Space #1, DC Special: Raven #1, New Dynamix #1, Cable #1, and All-New Atom #21. Check it out.
- First Watchmen publicity photos released: The internet reaction has been mockery with faint praise, mockery, quasi-mockery, and generally positive reaction. My two cents: Did they really need to change Nite-Owl's and Ozymandeus' outfits that much? I thought that they could be translated to film pretty much the way they are. (For a side by side comparison, click here.) Maybe they are saving some money by recycling some old Batman suits from the first four movies. And, really Warners, nipples? Really? Hire someone to read the Internet, would you? People are still mocking Shumacher's addition of those to the Bat uniform and it happened over a decade ago.
- Patrick Swayze diagnosed with pancreatic cancer: The odds aren't good, but I wish him the best. If it wasn't for him, Roadhouse would just be a bad movie, and not campy fun.
- Latest Buffy issue causes a stir: Covered by the New York Times no less! Also by ABC News, who calls Buffy's female on female fling with another Slayer a "marketing ploy". I am so happy that comics have grown to such a level that they can actually have marketing ploys.
