Stereo Comics   +  Neil Gaiman

Mo' solicitations, and it's GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS month at DC!

Good news! Neil Gaiman/Andy Kubert's Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader rolls out. Bad news! Once Grant Morrison and Gaiman are gone in a couple of months, what the hell's going to happen to the Batman creative teams?

Good news! The under-rated Andy Clarke is drawing a new R.E.B.E.L.S. (or, to the uninitiated, L.E.G.I.O.N.) comic. Bad news! It's going to be written by the underwhelming Tony Bedard.

Good news! Brian Bolland delivers a lovely piece of cover art for THE SPIRIT. Interiors are drawn by the rather decent Justiniano/Walden Wong team, too. Bad news! The new writers on the comic are the producers of the new movie. Y'know. The one with all the crappy trailers.

Good news! Keith Giffen's AMBUSH BUG gets a big aul' SHOWCASE edition! Bad news! Seldom has a series depended so much on colour for its gags, and then been reprinted in black and white.

Good news! 100 BULLETS reaches issue 100. Bad news! No more 100 BULLETS, dammit.
