THE BEAT continues . . . .

FORMER COMIC BOOK MAGNATE GOES TO THE BIG HOUSE

Former comic book retailer Ross Rojek pled guilty on Friday to one
count each of mail and securities fraud, according to The
Sacramento Bee

Rojek, 36, bound in chains and wearing Sacramento County jail-
issued orange scrubs, admitted in Judge Lawrence Karlton's
court that he had bilked investors out of millions by luring
them to invest in fictitious companies.

The crimes carry a combined maximum sentence of 25 years in
prison and up to a $500,000 fine. Federal inmates must serve
at least 85 percent of their time.

Assuming he has no criminal past, Rojek likely will be
sentenced to seven to nine years in prison, said James
Arguelles, the assistant U.S. attorney on the case. He said
prosecutors recommended the lowest level of sentencing
permitted because Rojek admitted guilt and agreed to
cooperate.

Rojek claims to have information useful to prosecutors,
Arguelles said, and depending on the value of that
information, prosecutors might recommend further reduction of
the sentence.

Rojek had originally been charged with eight counts of mail
fraud, two counts of wire fraud and three counts of money-
laundering following an elaborate scheme to bilk investors in a
phony "face recognition" technology. The scheme netted $1.2
million. He was also involved in securities fraud, selling shares
in a real estate investment trust, American Equities Group LLC,
which was purportedly in the business of reselling distressed
property. This scam netted about $1.3 million.

Rojek remains the object of vilification from former customers
of comic book etailer Another Universe as well, over a long
delayed DVD of MY SO CALLED LIFE.

Bilking rapid fans of some obscure TV show is one thing; messing
with the mail and stock is another -- when the Feds were called
in, Rojek's days were numbered.

For more details on Rojek's scheme, see The Comics Journal.

HULK VS HULK...WHO WOULD WIN?

Someone is suing Marvel, for a change...and it's a doozy.
According to PWINSIDER, the WWE is suing Marvel for the use of
the name "Hulk."

It seems when Hulk Hogan came along to brighten our days and give
little children someone to idolize (aka Hulkamania), Marvel was
the one doing the suing, claiming that the Hulkster was nothing
but a rip off of the Incredible Hulk. The WWE (then WWF) had to
license the name from Marvel. Now Marvel claims the agreement is
up, and the WWE is suing to maintain control in order to launch
their upcoming video on demand service -- which inevitably will
include many matches where the Hulkster executes his devastating
legdrop of doom to vanquish his opponents.

This differs from the original Incredible Hulk, who vanquishes
his puny opponents by smashing them to atoms.

everybody else outside, then I won't be able to focus on enjoying
the actual work." Durance said that Lois Lane was always her
favorite female lead in comics.
  "Because she was so involved," she said. "She was always so
involved in everything going on -- she's a go-getter, she was
really in there, quite tough and kind of a hero in her own
right."

hill masked wrestler who has more interest in strippers than
adventure, but still manages to get involved with murdering
super-intelligent gorillas, Liverpoolian zombies, and Dr. Satan,
a manic depressive mad scientist with a penchant for finding the
perfect woman. Joining El Superbeasto on his escapades is his
sister, Suzie X, a sexy super-spy adventurer, and her sidekick, a
10-foot tall robot named Marvin, an avid fan of Barry Manilow and
Michael Bolton.

  "El Superbeasto is Austin Powers meets The Munsters by way of
Hard Days Night," said Zombie. "The bizarre stories and insane
characters are perfect for animation and DPS Film Roman is the
best animation studio to bring the comic to life."

At Comic-Con, Inkworks is displaying its Smallville Season 3
trading cards, which reach stores in October.

  Dark Horse's The Invincibles comic book will launch on Nov. 5.

  Merchandise involving DC's new animated series, Justice League

CROSSGEN: FIGHTING OFF THE LANDLORD

The most recent development in the CrossGen bankruptcy, the
company's landlord, 580 Industrial, Ltd, has petitioned the court
for relief from the automatic stay placed on CG's lease by the
filing of Chapter 11, or, in the alternative, an order which
would compel CrossGen to pay its post-petition lease obligations.

The filing is 580's right, as a landlord, to seek relief from
having a non-paying lessee which has filed Chapter 11, and is
fairly common practice for a landlord with a lessee who has
declared Chapter 11.

Under the law, CrossGen (the debtor in possession) has 60 days
after filing (June 18th, 2004) to either assume the lease (pay
what is owed, any damages incurred, as well as guarantee that
further lease payments will be made in a timely fashion) or
reject the lease (walk away from it and vacate the premises,
allowing the leasing company to find new tenants). CrossGen can
also ask the court for an extension on the decision.

After 60 days from the filing, the lease is assumed by the
owner/leasing company to be rejected by the debtor in possession.
That said, within the 60 day window, the debtor (CrossGen) is
still obligated to perform its lease obligations, including
paying rent. However, Chapter 11 has no remedy for a debtor who
does not pay during that timeframe, forcing the landlord to
appeal to the court for an order which will direct the debtor to
pay what is owed, or vacate the premises.

According to the filing, CrossGen owes $5,653.41 for June (pro-
rated from the date of filing), and $14,133.51 for July. 580
Industrial states that it wishes to relet the premises currently
occupied by CrossGen, but cannot, as CrossGen is in possession of
the building, and is currently within its 60 day window.

580 Industrial's petition then, asks the judge to rule in its
favor, granting one of three outcomes: 1) grant 580 relief from
the stay and allow it to evict CrossGen and recover its property
as is allowed under Florida state law (but currently barred due
to the stay); 2) compel CrossGen to pay what it owes until it
decides whether it will accept or reject the lease; or 3) if
CrossGen is not able to pay what it owes, order the company to
reject the lease immediately, and surrender possession of the
leased properties.

DH'S THE HIRE SIGNS WAID, BUSIEK, OTOMO, BRUCE CAMPBELL FOR
STORIES

Dark Horse and bmwfilms.com are bringing The Hire-the award-
winning action series featuring the enigmatic hero capable of
doing the hard thing for the right reasons-to the comics pages,
with an original series set to hit in August.

Just as the short film series The Hire brought energetic and
cutting-edge directors like Ang Lee (Oscar and Golden Globe
winner "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," "Sense and Sensibility,"
"Eat Drink Man Woman"), John Frankenheimer ("Ronin," "Grand
Prix," "The Manchurian Candidate"), John Woo ("Windtalkers,"
"Mission Impossible II," "Face/Off"), and Tony Scott ("Spy Game,"
"Enemy of the State," "True Romance," "Top Gun") among others to
the project, Dark Horse is bringing the same innovative spirit to
the comic series. Each issue of The Hire will be a stand-alone
story by a different top creator or creator team and will focus
on the character known only as "The Driver." Teams will include
Katushiro Otomo (Akira), Katsuya Terada, (Blood: The Last
Vampire) Mark Waid (Kingdom Come), Kurt Busiek (Conan), and more.

"I loved the bmw.com film series and when we got a chance to do
comics featuring the character from The Hire I just couldn't say
no," commented Dark Horse President Mike Richardson. "He's a
great throwback to the film noir style anti hero with a heart of
gold from the 40's." The talent we have lined up to bring this
character to life on the comics page is just outstanding. Fans of
the films, and comic fans in general, are in for a real treat!"

Among the top creators on this project is popular cult film actor
and author Bruce Campbell (Army of Darkness). Campbell will write
a story called "Precious Cargo" with art by Kilian Plunkett.

"First and foremost, it was a pleasure to work with Mike
Richardson and Dark Horse. Those guys did a great comic series of
Army of Darkness, so I'd always had a lot of respect for their
taste as a comic book company," commented Bruce Campbell. "When
The Hire came my way, I jumped on it, mainly because I had never
written a comic book before and was intrigued by how a short
story is converted to such a visual medium."

Campbell continued, "Writing "Precious Cargo" was, by far, one of
the trickiest ventures I'd ever wandered into because of its
exacting nature, and because I had to think like a director the
entire time."

The first issue of The Hire kicks off with Scandal, a story
written and drawn by the legendary Matt Wagner, (Grendel and
Mage), where The Driver is asked to sneak a rich man's spoiled,
scandalous daughter out of town. He thinks the worst he'll have
to deal with are persistent paparazzi, but soon the bullets start
to fly.

Following Wagner's first explosive issue we've lined up some more
of the leading lights from the world of comics, and we do mean
the world! Future issues will feature the additional talents of:
Francisco Ruiz Velasco (Lone Wolf 2100), Karl Kesel (Fantastic
Four), Ariel Olivetti (Avengers), and Steven Grant (X-Men)!

The Hire issue #1 (of 6) arrives on sale August 11, with a retail
price of $2.99.

SPIDER-GIRL TO SPIN MORE ISSUES IN 2005

Spider-Girl series writer Tom DeFalco has announced that the
title, which has been dogged by threats of cancellation in recent
times, has been renewed for another six issues.

"Thanks to the efforts of Joe Quesada, Dan Buckley and Andy
Schmidt - and ALL of you guys - Spider-Girl has been renewed for
(at least) another six issues," DeFalco said in a post today on
the Spider-Girl Message Board. "We are currently guaranteed to
run until Spider-Girl #87. While #87 could be our last issue, we
could also be extended beyond #87... if we can increase our
sales. The little comic could that could is still alive - HOO-
HA!"

Spider-Girl was most recently saved from cancellation with issue
#61 after Marvel committed to publishing it through to issue #67.
The series was subsequently extended through to #74 prior to this
latest extension.
