On the left we have the original panel from an Outsiders comic and on the right how it appears in the new trade paperback Outsiders: Crises Intervension. Seems that DC will let anything slide except for banging your sister. This was originally brought to light over at Mike Sterling's Progressive Rune which everone needs to check out anyway.
Yaaaawn!!! Marvel has just shown their July Solicitations and Joe Quesada lives up to his word. He stated that last year Marvel learned their lesson by realeasing so many tie-ins and miniseries focusing on House of M. This year with Civil War he said that there would only be two titles: Civil War and Civil War: Frontline. Then about a month later he said that Civil War would run through some titles and would not be necessary to get the whole story.
Today I look at the solicitations and fuck me running; there are 13 titles in the month of fucking July alone focusing on Civil War. Its a good thing that Marvel is focusing more on good stories and less on flooding the market. Can't wait to see Spidey and Cap duke it out or the Fantastic Four and Namor fight to the death, because that has never happened!!! If this was 1970 and I was a five year old boy I would be excited. The only good thing I saw in the previews is Deadpool maybe playing as a mercenary hunting renegade heroes, that would be pretty bad ass, but the rest just looks eh!
Alright Loyal Aboutheroes viewers. We know you wanted it, we know you ache for it, No it's not All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder, it's a secret DC memo for the month of July that I found in one of my weekly dumpster dives...in New York or California I forget. Anyway, it's official I think! Here is what it says.
