Newest cover to Aquaman is being done by the internal art team of Yvel Guichet and Mark Propst instead of Alex Maleev.
The now infamous line in Aquaman #1 about the crab attack has been explained by writer Rick Veitch: Can't remember how I worded it in the actual script, but I think the idea was that we'd see a closeup of a horrified AQUAMAN completely covered in hundreds of crabs, which in his already dehydrated and severely wounded state, could 'finish him off'. Yvel (who as penciller really is the final say on the storytelling) decided on a longshot for that panel, with fewer crabs, so it was missing that visual hit that the caption needed to fully work.
Challenge of the Super Friends is coming to DVD. Ah, Super Friends. The very show that has given Aquaman his long-standing veneer of lameness. So the question is, am I interested in trying to get it, or should I pass?
Books for Free Comic Book Day 2 have been announced. The day will be May 3, 2003, and the format will be the same: just bigger and better. There will be a group of books from top publishers in each free package, with random books from other publishers making up the rest of the package. DC's contribution will be the first issue of the new Batman Adventures book (which is replacing Gotham Adventures). I just want one of everything they'll let me have. I love trying new books, and if I don't have to pay for them, so much the better!
There's a preview of Astro City: Local Heroes #1 up at DC Comics website. Wahoo! It's mostly B&W pages with no text, but it's enough to raise my anticipation for the return of one of the best superhero interpretations ever.
