John Cassaday, Artist on Joss Whedon’s ‘Astonishing X-Men’ and Co-Creator of ‘Planetary,’ Dies at 52
John Cassaday, the artist who co-created the influential turn-of-the-century comic Planetary and then drew an award-winning X-Men comic written by Joss Whedon for Marvel, has died. He was 52.
His sister Robin Cassaday announced his death Monday on Facebook. She previously wrote that he had been admitted to the intensive care unit of Mount Sinai West in New York on Sept. 3. The cause of death was not revealed.
Cassaday also drew the relaunch of Star Wars that became the best-selling comic of 2015.
“Like [fellow artists] Neal Adams, Jim Steranko or Michael Golden, he is a touchstone, a reference point to the dozens and dozens of artists whose work was influenced by his,” comics writer and editor Mark Waid said. “Most people are lucky if more than a dozen people are still talking about them a month after they pass. My friend John will be talked about and remembered by an entire industry for ages.

It's been confirmed today that prolific comic book artist John Cassaday has died aged just 52. Details are scarce as we write this, though we know he was admitted to the ICU at Mount Sinai West Hospital in New York last week.
His sister shared the news of his passing in a Facebook post that read, "My little bro John passed away at 6:51pm Texas time. Please keep me and my mom in your prayers."
Cassaday began his career in the mid-1990s working on Image Comics titles like Gen¹³ and Wetworks. However, we're sure many of you will know him best for his contributions to the Marvel Universe where he redesigned Captain America (with a look that heavily inspired the MCU) and his work alongside Joss Whedon on the critically acclaimed Astonishing X-Men.
The latter series redefined the characters and Cassaday's work was a massive part of that.

For as long as I've known the X-Men, Rogue has been one of my favorite members of the team. It was her white-streaked hair and charming Southern Belle accent that first caught my notice, but what makes Rogue endure is her tortured soul.
Her untamed powers, to lethally absorb the vitality, memories, and superabilities of other people, prevent her from touching anyone; her first kiss put her boyfriend in a coma. So, she keeps herself closed off, too afraid of hurting others to get close to them — even her true love Gambit/Remy LeBeau. With this intersection of superpowers and characterization, Rogue shows how not all mutant powers are blessings. Due to underserved sex education in the United States, plenty of teens (especially queer ones) can relate to Rogue's fear that intimacy will cause calamity.
Now, most "X-Men" characters have complicated histories and Rogue is no different. Writer Chris Claremont...

In the 1960s, Mort Weisinger ran more than a few stories speculating on what would happen had Superman and Batman married and had offspring, although no two stories were connected. Under Murray Boltinoff, World’s Finest Comics in 1973 began a series of stories about Clark Kent, Jr, and Bruce Wayne, Jr., which had its following. More recently, Superman and Lois had a son, Jonathan, while Batman met Damian, his biological son, grown in a test tube by Ra’s al Ghul. Once they established themselves, it was inevitable the youngster would be paired up and a series of entertaining Super Sons stories ran, mostly in the capable hands of writer Peter Tomasi.
Now, Warner Animation has paired them in a brand-new animated feature, Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons. This is one of the most consistently satisfying offerings from the studio in some time and was fun to watch,...

I’d never heard of this gem of a British production; now it goes on my list of highly recommended titles. A dock area on the Thames is ‘the pool,’ and the sailors that disembark from the cargo ships are susceptible to the temptations of black market trade. A single eventful weekend traces the fates of a half-dozen young people, the women that like the sailors, and the sailor that gets mixed up in a deadly serious crime. Director Basil Dearden’s excellent cast is mostly unfamiliar to us Yanks, but we get really tied up in their problems. This picture should be much better known. It’s the first English movie to depict an interracial romance, and it does so without sensationalism or special pleading. The best new extra is an interview with actor Earl Cameron, who at 103 years of age has his act (and his memories) totally together.

In this exclusive preview, we start to get a sense of Bane's 72-issue master plan to break the Batman.
Since Tom King's run started way back in 2016, we've had a few dialogue-free (or nearly dialogue-free) issues where the art tells one story and the narration tells another, and the two intertwine to move the plot and the characters forward in King's master plan. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that these are some of the best issues of the entire run. They're certainly some of my favorite Batman comics of all time.
From a plot perspective, these dialogue-less issues are always fairly important. In the first of these, Batman #12, Batman fights his way through Santa Prisca to take on Bane, while the narration reveals that young Bruce contemplated suicide just after his parents' deaths. The wedding issue, Batman #50, was largely silent, telling a retrospective...

Today’s story is about reading procrastination, or about good intentions, or maybe just how there’s more things we want to do in the world than there are things we have the time to do.
Fifteen years or so ago, Dark Horse was humming along with its Star Wars comics program — a few things tied to the prequel trilogy, which was about to wrap up, but mostly in the “Extended Universe,” in-continuity stories that stretched across comics and videogames and the novels Bantam and others published. Someone remembered that there was also an old series of Star Wars comics — the ones from Marvel that ran from 1977 through 1986 and were solidly out of continuity by that point — and decided to reprint them.
I guess they were pitched to the Science Fiction Book Club, where I worked at the time. I was the resident Star Wars guy then, reading and acquiring...

Set your nostalgia rays to the '80s. Some toy lines actually ended up as even better comic book series.
Comic book icons and heroes have been appearing on toy shelves since the days of Captain Action and Mego. But sometimes, toys that win the hearts and minds of kids of all ages are given their own comics, allowing toy fans to see their favorite bits of plastic in action by some of the best writers and artists in comics.
Many toys have graced the pages of comics over the years, including memorable curiosities like Sectaurs, Madballs, Visionaries, Go-Bots, and so many more, but there have been a few properties that have transcended their humble plastic roots to become the stuff of comic book legend.
Here are but a sampling:

Nicolas Cage has said he is not interested in making any more Ghost Rider movies.
Mark Steven Johnson's first film in 2007 made $228million globally on a $110million budget and accrued a feeble 26 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Attempting to give it a more gritty style and hold on to the screen rights, Sony brought in directing duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor for the semi-reboot Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which had a lower budget of $57million but made even less at the box office ($132million) than the first outing and was even less popular with critics (17 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes).
Not surprisingly, Cage says he's finished with the franchise - though he insists Spirit of Vengeance was a success in its own way.
He told MTV: "Personally, I'm done. I've done what I had to do with that part. You never say never, but right now,...

"In essence, Rick and I wanted to go back to something approximating his original cool Neal Adams design—the black highlight-less bodysuit with the concentric circle power effect. That was always his most distinctive look in my opinion, and nothing he’s worn since that has really been all that memorable. So John took his cues from that design, tweaked it a little bit, pulled that strange antennae-thing he had on his head down onto his cowl, and off we went. I seem to recall that John initially had him with a full belt, and I had to talk him into compromising with the sort of side belt things." "In terms of Rogue’s look, I think everybody involved really liked her original Michael Golden outfit, the one with the hood—so this represents a modernization of that approach to the character.

2012 will be the first year that GeekTrant will invade WonderCon, mostly due to the fact that it was moved down to Anaheim, CA this year which is right in our backyard. We're all pretty excited about attending this year, as we've heard it's a much smaller more intimate version of San Diego Comic Con.
WonderCon is set to open on Friday, March 16th and run through Sunday, March 18th at the Anaheim Convention Center. If you plan on attending let us know, and maybe we can meet up and hang out for a bit!
I've put stars next to the panels we are interested in attending. Check out the schedule, and let us know what you are looking forward to seeing most!
Friday March 16th
12:30-1:30 Idw Presents: The Idw Panel!— Chief creative officer Chris Ryall and sergeant of marketing Dirk Wood, give out prizes, make announcements, and evade questions!

Is Michael Golden the early favorite to become the New York Times’ Company’s next CEO? That’s what one tipster suggested to Jim Romenesko in an e-mail. How does that person know?

In October 2006-2010, five annual Wonder Woman Day events raised over $110,000 for Domestic Violence programs in Portland, Oregon and Flemington, NJ. The five-year combination of auctions of over 1,100 original art pieces, plus collectibles, autograph signings, and photo opportunities garnered spectacular turnouts and four Portland Mayoral Proclamations.
This year, the event will take on a new name and an expanded mission! On October 30, 2011, the new Women of Wonder Day — again as a part of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month — will take place, returning to Excalibur Books in Portland, Oregon, and Comic Fusion in Flemington, New Jersey, as well as at Heroes and Fantasies in San Antonio, Texas.
This year’s contributions for auction include not only artwork featuring heroines from the world of comics — Wonder Woman, She-Hulk, Storm, Michonne from The Walking Dead, Leetah from ElfQuest — but also from the world of media as well, including Lisbeth Salander, Buffy the Vampire Slayer,...

In the Deadline [7] story, they mention Micronauts was "one of the Hasbro brands mentioned as a priority movie project in a third quarter earnings conference call done for investors today by Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner." That's the same call that alerted [8] everyone Hasbro wants Michael Bay back to do a fourth Transformers.

This was the very first 'con' that I had ever attended and after wandering the stacked convention floor for four hours and getting lost in a sea of comics and industry greats I still hadn't grasped what the hell was going on. It truly was nerd heaven walking around and seeing great comic writers and artists such as Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth), Ethan Nicolle (AxeCop), Mike Mignola (Hellboy), Michael Golden (Micronauts), Stuart Immonen (Marvel's Fear Itself) and Neal Adams (Batman)...

Marc Andreyko has discussed his two-issue story on Birds of Prey. The writer is working on the fill-in for Gail Simone's title with artist Billy Tucci. Starting with issue #14, the story focuses on regular character Lady Blackhawk - aka Zinda Blake - and two guest-stars: the Phantom Lady and her granddaughter Kate 'Manhunter' Spencer. Manhunter was created by Andreyko himself, and the other two characters are original Golden Age heroes. "I've always been a sucker for vintage stories," the writer told Comic Book Resources. "A few years back there was an issue of Birds of Prey with Michael Golden where it was almost the Golden Age Birds of Prey - even though they weren't called that, it was that sort of conceit." He continued: "When asked (more)...

Over the weekend, Idw announced that Dave Stevens’ fan-favourite comic (and film) character The Rocketeer, would be returning to comics in a four-issue mini series. The official press release:
Idw Publishing, a premier publisher of graphic novels and books, is pleased to announce today an all-new, four-issue miniseries featuring Dave Stevens’ beloved character, The Rocketeer.

Tragically, Stevens passed away in 2008 after a lengthy battle with Leukemia.
