Well considering that site is one of those who spew hate in the form of comic fandom, and are the kind of "bad actors" in the comics field who use any excuse to declare DC or Marvel is dying because they are producing comics that this group doesn't like because "woke" Sadly, Bleeding Cool, notorious rumor-mongers themselves, are the voice of reason responding to those kind of reports hereThey weren't "kicked out of the Warner's offices" Warner, in response to most of its staff in several divisions working from home for the past two years, decided to no longer house separate offices for multiple divisions and go with the "hot desking" model that many companies are adapting where desks are shared among departments depending on who is working in office and who is working from home at the time. Warner constructed a new more efficient and cost-effective facility to house this hot desking office in and is closing the other facility as a means of reducing operating costs across the board. But 'Gaters have to hate and twist things to fit in their repulsive world view. -M |

And since the creators own the material and publish through Image, i Lego doing the same or is it actually licensed? -M |

Image has done some licensed work before. McFarlane had a comic about Kiss, Top Cow did Tomb Raider. Masters of the Universe and Battle of the Planets comics were published by Image before.

Even though there have been other writers that worked on both Batman and Daredevil... With Batman #125 Chip Zdarsky will be the first to write both titles at the same time.

Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns with cover dates March to June 1986 while his second stint on Daredevil "Born Again" had cover dated Feb 86 (#232)-August '86 (#234). He may have already had Dark Knight in the can so to speak while writing Daredevil, but Batman and Daredevil books by the same creator were being released at the same time. It's not the main title, but if you are counting just the main titles, you are reducing the point to irrelevance. -M |

Marvel dropped this teaser today (I saw it in Kurt Busiek's feed as he is one of the creators involved).  That's quite a line up. No official word what the project actually is, but the worst kept secret is that it is the creative line up contributing to Amazing Spider-Man #900. I don't think I have bought an issue of ASM since the 90s, but I might pick that one up. That's a stellar line up of creative talent. Particularly excited for Gaiman, Ho Che Anderson, Busiek and Michael Cho. -M |

I'm really wondering how Armando Iannucci will do in comics. He's mostly known for TV and movies, but he's done a documentary about comics and did an adaptation of Death of Stalin, so he does have interest in the medium.

Joe Quesada is hanging up his Marvel tights... Quesada's tweetAfter 22 years, he is leaving Marvel to pursue other challenges, including writing and producing an indie film. Quesada gets a lot of flack from Marvel fans, particularly for One More Day, but the simple truth of the matter is that fans wouldn't have Marvel comics to read and complain about, and Marvel as a company (and Marvel Studios for that matter) would not exist as a company if it were not for Quesada's efforts when he took over Marvel at its nadir. Not everything he did or pushed was good, but it brought folks back to Marvel and created the upward momentum that allowed Marvel to crawl out of the bankruptcy pit. I think a lot of fans forget (and younger fans do not even realize) that Marvel was on life support when Quesada took over and most folks were ready to pull the plug. Quesda's partnership with Jemas and their willingness to experiment and take risks (because they had nothing else to lose) are a big reason people began to take an interest in Marvel again. Two years prior, Heroes Return took a back to basics approach and failed to move the needle at all in rejuvenating Marvel despite producing some good comics to read for old fans. Again, not everything Quesada did was popular (or good in the point of view of old school fans for which it was not popular), but it did what it needed to do and helped return Marvel to the right side of the ledger giving it the strength it needed to survive long enough for Marvel Studios to come into existence and bail Marvel out financially. But the stuff he did got people buying and talking about Marvel Comics again. I personally am not a big fan of a lot of the stuff that was done under his watch, but I am grateful he was able to turn things around at Marvel under that watch. -M |

The vitriol was on par, if not worse than what I saw when Didio left DC. I think a lot of fans who either came to Marvel in the Disney era or who haven gotten spoiled by the resources for Marvel Disney represents do not realize or have forgotten how close we came to "No more Marvel" and so dismiss what Quesada did for the company during his tenure, only narrowing their focus on the things that "ruined their childhood" instead of what he provided them and the brand and characters they worship. -M |
