KYLE'S BACK: ION TO GET HIS OWN DC SERIES

He was once one-half of one of comics most "heated" debates. Who
is the true and rightful Green Lantern in the DC Universe? Earth
Sector 2814 anyway...

While the half of the debate that rooted for the new-ringbearer-
on-the-block Kyle Rayner might have had some concerns when DC and
Geoff Johns brought back classic GL Hal Jordan with much ballyhoo
this past year, they need fear not - young Kyle isn't being out
to pasture. He'll return in his new heroic identity in a new
spring 2006, post-"One Year Later" series Ion written by his
creator Ron Marz and penciled by Greg Tocchini (Marvel 1602: New
World, Thor: Son of Asgard).

Newsarama caught up with Marz in between Thanksgiving
preparations for a few brief words about the new series...

"It's exciting to come back to a character that I had a hand in
creating, especially right now", Marz told Newsarama. "The DC
Universe has a real sense of excitement and creation, obviously,
and I'm really looking forward to being part of that. It's very
nice to be invited to the party. The assignment is especially
enticing because this isn't simply a matter of 'going home'
again. Yes, I'm writing Kyle Rayner again, but the character is
evolving, rather than standing still. Kyle will still be Kyle,
but I'm getting to create new situations for him, and new
characters around him. This is really going to be the next
chapter of Kyle's career."

According to the writer, some of where he and Tocchini will be
going with the series its origins in the upcoming Infinite
Crisis: Rann-Thanagar one-shot special.

"There's a sacrifice in that story that impacts Kyle in a major
way," revealed Marz. "As it has a number of other times in Kyle's
life, tragedy serves as a catalyst. And, of course, Infinite
Crisis itself will also play a part in Kyle's future direction."

Marz also said he's "absolutely thrilled" to be working with
Tocchini on the series.

"I've been wanting to collaborate with him since I first saw his
work back when I was working at CrossGen. I actually served as
his editor when he was doing the DemonWars series, and he also
did fill-in issues on various titles, each one better than the
last.

"Whenever Greg's latest batch of pages would show up in the
office, a number of the artists would stop what they were doing
to go look at Greg's work. If you can get the likes of Butch
Guice, Steve Epting and Paul Pelletier to put down their pencils
and 'ooh' and 'ah' over your pages, you're doing something right.

"When we started talking about artists for Ion, I really
campaigned for Greg, and I'm very thankful DC went out and got
him. You hear it all the time - that some artist is going to be
the next big thing. But I've been doing this long enough to
recognize that a talent like Greg doesn't come along every day.
He truly is something special, and I think this is the book
that's really going to show it."

DAN DIDIO ON MORE DC CHANGES

This week's edition of Wizard Magazine provided some additions to
the ever-growing pool of info regarding the make-up of the DC
Universe and its "One Year Later"/post-Infinite Crisis line-up of
titles.

While the DC offices were of course closed Thursday and Friday,
Newsarama managed to track down DC's Dan DiDio on our special 24-
hour hotline for five minutes of his time and a few brief
comments on some of the new information.

Each title includes the information revealed to this date
followed by DiDio's comments...

  Keith Giffen, John Rogers, and Cully Hamner new Blue Beetle
ongoing: "Keith Giffen and screenwriter, John Rogers, are all set
to take on a new Blue Beetle monthly starting next spring, and
Cully Hamner's new look for the character is quite amazing. But
before the series starts, the scarab pops up in Infinite Crisis
#3.

  Bill Willingham Shadowpact ongoing series: "Bill Willingham
will be both writer and artist on this series, as the Shadowpact
spins out from Infinite Crisis: Day of Vengeance Special. Bill
has been looking for the right project to pencil and I'm glad he
picked this one for his return. As for Justiniano, stay tuned,
big plans to be soon announced."

  Geoff Johns & Kurt Busiek on Superman/Action Comics crossover,
and a James Robinson written storyline crossing-over Detective
Comics and Batman: "We have planned stories to help re-establish
Superman and Batman in the post-Crisis DC Universe. What follows
each of these arcs? Let's save that for another day."

  Greg Rucka on Supergirl: "Greg Rucka joins Ian Churchill on
Supergirl, 'One Year Later'. What can I say, Greg loves strong
women.

  Rucka and Jesus Saiz on Checkmate series: "What can I say,
Greg loves board games. This series spins directly out of,
surprise, surprise, Infinite Crisis: OMAC Project Special and
Jesus Saiz did a wonderful job designing the new Checkmate. Look
for a lot of familiar faces, meta and non-meta, to fill the
chessboard.

  New Wonder Woman series illustrated by Terry Dodson: "More
announcements shortly on follow ups to some recently cancelled
series."

  Ron Marz & Greg Tocchini Ion series: Ron did such a great job
filling you in, you don't need me here.

  Anything new that you can add Dan??: "Two members of the
extended Bat-family are seeing some changes as well. Bruce Jones
steps in as writer of Nightwing while Adam Beechen and Karl
Kerschl take on Robin. As for who is in the costumes ... that's
still open for discussion...

"Whew ... glad you didn't ask me anything about Aquaman."

Prima Does Comics
Based on 'Perfect Dark Zero'
 November 21, 2005
Random House division Prima Games (the largest publisher of
videogame guides, with over 1400 titles published) has announced
plans to publish a series of comics and a graphic novel collection
based on Perfect Dark Zero, a new videogame for the Xbox 360, due
out soon.   Perfect Dark Zero #0 appears in Prima's Official Game
Guide to the videogame, released this month, and the first of six
bi-monthly 32-page comics will be released next spring.  The
comics will be collected into a graphic novel after the conclusion
of the series.

The series will be written by Eric S. Trautmann, a writer and
editor of content for Xbox games for Microsoft, including
MechWarrior 4:  Vengeance, Crimson Skies, and Halo.  He also
edited and contributed to the Crimson Skies fiction anthology
published by Del Rey.  Art will be by Cold FuZion Studios, which
does art and design for comics, games and other uses, and includes
artists Ale Garza and Joe Madureira, among others. Perfect Dark
Zero is a prequel to Perfect Dark, both designed by Rare Limited.

'Absolute Watchmen' in 'NY Times Book Review'
Real Superheroes from 1986
 November 21, 2005
Dave Itzkoff reviewed the $75 Absolute Watchmen edition in
Sunday's New York Times Book Review, and in addition to noting
some of the important extras included in this new edition, he
analyzes the dramatic realism of Alan Moore, who he notes "has
often used comics to illustrate how reality can be deadlier to
superheroes than Kryptonite."

The all too realistic Watchmen characters get their due.  "The
would-be heroes of Watchmen have staggeringly complex
psychological profiles," Itzkoff says.  And the narrative
techniques and abundant allusions of Moore's story and Dave
Gibbons' artwork are also noted.  But he also focuses on what
makes the book a great read.  "But the story of Watchmen,
carefully plotted and decidedly finite, deserves equally close
attention, as its acuteness has not dulled with age," he says.

Itzkoff also notes the important role that Watchmen played in the
development of ever more dark and gritty superhero comics, and
lauds the differences between Moore's work and much of current
superhero comics, "a domain he has largely ceded to writers and
artists who share his fascination with brutality but not his
interest in its consequences, his eagerness to tear down old
boundaries but not his drive to find new ones."

The most important aspect of this review for the members of the
trade is that it puts Watchmen, which has been getting
unbelievable press for a book that's nearly 20 years old where it
belongs with the great modern works of literature and gives it
the attention from the literary establishment that it so richly
deserved, but did not receive, when it was published in 1986.
Comic readers new and old are going to be looking for this new
edition, and less expensive editions, of this great graphic
novel.

Comic Artists Feted at 2 LA Museums
Both Comic Strips and Comic Books Honored
 November 23, 2005
The once lowly and despised comic strip and comic book media have
earned increasing respect in recent years as libraries fill their
shelves with graphic novels and manga, while the prestigious New
York Times Book Review now regularly reviews graphic novels and a
continuing comic strip by Chris Ware graces the pages of the
Times' staid Sunday Magazine.  Comics reached another milestone
this week as a two-pronged Masters of American Comics exhibit
opened in two Los Angeles museums, the Hammer Museum and the
Museum of Contemporary Art.

The exhibits include more than 500 original drawings and explore
the work of 15 different artists who have influenced the
development of the comic strip and the comic book (and graphic
novel) in America.  The Hammer Museum's exhibit covers the great
comic strip innovators from Winsor McCay and George Herriman to
Chester Gould and Charles Schultz, while the Museum of
Contemporary Art focuses on the rise of comic books and graphic
novels with original drawings from Jack Kirby, R. Crumb and Art
Spiegelman.

Time Well Wasted
By Blair Marnell

Welcome back to another edition of ATR. As usual, we've got a lot
to go over. So let's get to it.

When The Lights Go Out

Last week's story about Lamp Post Publications is turning out to
have wider implications than it previously appeared. I'm told that
a number of publishers were caught completely off-guard by the
move and are even now still scrambling to find replacement
printers. The problem is that not everyone can afford to go
through larger printers like Quebecor. While most of the affected
parties I spoke with expressed anger over the move, they did say
that while printing through Lamp Post, the rates were
"reasonable", which allowed them to print more books (both in
color and black and white) than they could at other printers. This
also allowed some companies to sell their comics at prices
comparable to those of the larger comic publishers. Without Lamp
Post, there are very few alternatives out there for some of the
smaller publishers. I haven't heard about anyone closing up shop
over this, but between this and Diamond's new cut off point,
speculation is that some of the smaller companies will have to
raise their cover prices to cover the new expenses. Or that more
books will opt for black and white as color printing becomes price
prohibitive. Another rumor traveling around was that this was an
attempt to force some creators to bring their books to Alias. But
I don't quite believe that one. I think they have they own
problems. Though it's interesting to note that Lamp Post was
aggressively seeking comic book clients as recently as last
summer.

Over at The Beat, Heidi MacDonald posted her own follow up on last
week's story. I'm also pursuing a few other leads on my own.
I suspect we'll know more in the coming weeks...

This Has A "Deal With The Devil You Know" Factor of Five Out of
Ten

Binary Star

Last week's story about a new Ms. Marvel ongoing series was
confirmed by the Marvel solicitations for February. Brian Reed
(Spider-Woman: Origin) is on board as the writer with Rob DeLatorre
on art. DeLatorre is a relative newcomer, whose most recent work
will appear in an upcoming Bloodrayne one-shot from DWP. Marvel is
reportedly very high on him, and having seen some early pages, I
can understand why...

This Has A "Psyche-Magnitron" Factor of Ten Out of Ten

Tales From The Buffyverse

Since Joss Whedon's recent announcement, Buffy The Vampire Slayer
fans have been clamoring for more info on the new Dark Horse
comics. I've been asking around and I do have a few new tidbits.
First, the new Buffy comic written by Whedon himself will come in
the form of a four issue limited series, with further miniseries
written by established comic pros and overseen by Whedon. The
current talk is that Dark Horse is going for a "new look" with the
new mini, but an artist hasn't been chosen yet. Which brings me to
my third point: the first mini may not even be coming out next
year. Apparently the mini is in such an early stage that it's not
currently on Dark Horse's 2006 slate. And given Whedon's Hollywood
commitments along with his Astonishing X-Men gig, a 2007 release
date seems more likely.

Meanwhile, over at IDW, plans are in place for a series of one-
shots to be released in 2006, which will focus on the supporting
cast of Angel. The characters currently lined up for one-shots
are Illyria, Conner, Doyle, Wesley and Gunn. The writers said to
be attached are Peter David, Dan Jolley, Scott Tipton, Jeff
Mariotte and Jay Faerber. Though it's not clear yet which writers
will be paired with their respective characters...

This Has A "Joss Whedon Is My Master Now" Factor of Nine Out of
Ten

A League of Their Own

Planetary Brigade, Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis' upcoming mini
from Boom! Studios. PB is a "sister book" to their earlier Hero
Squared mini and takes place before Stephie destroyed Captain
Valor's world (trust me, it all makes sense). Anyway, PB basically
allows Giffen and DeMatteis to do JLI style humor with their own
group of characters, and should be a good warm up for the ongoing
Hero Squared series coming next year...

This Has A "House of Boom!" Factor of Eight Out of Ten

Jane's Addiction

As I'm sure you've heard, Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti's
Painkiller Jane is having a bit of a resurgence. A new Painkiller
Jane mini is set to come out in February from Dynamite
Entertainment, written by Palmiotti with art by Lee Moder. And
we've got the first look at the covers by Quesada and Billy Tan.

As for the Painkiller Jane TV movie, it's set to air December
10th on the Sci-Fi Channel. Sci-Fi is treating the movie like a
backdoor pilot, so if it gets really good ratings, it could
become a weekly series down the line...

This Has A "Dynamite With A Laser Beam" Factor of Seven Out of
Ten

You (Heart) Beland

This came as a surprise, but I got more e-mails about Tom
Beland's Web of Romance one-shot than other story from last
week's column.

You guys really like Beland...

And the response has been pretty much the same on the comic
message boards. Over at Jinxworld, Beland had this to say:

Wow.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart to all of you guys for being
excited about the romance book. This was a very cool project to
work on and I really hope you all enjoy it.

Something will happen in this issue that will make you wonder why
it's never happened before in a Spidey book. This is a book that
I would buy and, hell, I think I'm going to buy some anyhoo.

Thanks again, you guys, as usual, rock.

As it happens, we've got an early look at some of the pencil
pages by Cory Walker.

This Has A "Starcrossed Lovers" Factor of Nine Out of Ten

She's A Killer Queen

I've heard that Jimmie Robinson (The Adventures of Evil & Malice)
will be writing and penciling a new book from Image in February
called Bomb Queen. From what I've been told, the book follows a
mega-maniacal super-villainess who rules a city with her own
particular blend of "death, destruction and moral decay." Sounds
like a political regime I know... But the thing is, the people
love her. So when a superhero finally shows up to take her down,
nearly everyone in the town sides with her...

This Has A "Dynamite With A Laser Beam" Factor of Eight Out of
Ten

Going Down

Warren Ellis' latest miniseries, Down, I believe is coming out
this Wednesday from Top Cow.

The first issue was drawn by Tony Harris, with Cully Hamner
taking over on art for issues two through four.

This Has A "Heart of Darkness" Factor of Seven Out of Ten

Byrne Gets Funky

John Byrne made a cameo appearance in two of this week's Funky
Winkerbean comic strips.
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/fun/funky.asp?date=20051117

Byrne is polite, well informed and perfectly reasonable...

Oh my God! What have they done to the real Byrne?!

This Has A "Legal Defense" Factor of Six Out of Ten

The Composite Supergirl

There's a piece of artwork that is currently the topic of
speculation over at Newsarama. The artist in question is Art
Adams. And while most of the posters have guessed that it's the
cover to an upcoming Superman/Batman issue, it's not. Adams did
the piece for fun between assignments and it was sold through his
art agent (Fog City) on ebay earlier this month for $1,624.99.

Oh, and to the poster named "DoubleK", I love your signature pic:

This Has A "Who Pacs The Pac-Man?" Factor of Nine Out of Ten

Alright people, quick announcement time: I'm going to be out of
town for Thanksgiving, so next week's ATR will be written by John
Voulieris. And then I'll be back in two weeks.

In the interim, have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Blair

Items found in Rich Johnston's "Lying in the Gutters" column at
http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/ which are all rumors or
gossip so take any of it with a BIG bucket of salt! Rich was
chosen Best Comics Journalist in the 2003 Usenet Squiddy Awards,
his fourth consecutive win.  Write to Rich at:
richjohnston@gmail.com

Rich heard rumors . . .

The southern English coast made a rather inspired position for the
inaugural Brighton Comic Expo, organized by Comics International's
Dez.

Liam Sharp did say that in his fourth issue of "Testament," the
Biblical story inspired series from Vertigo, it's full of giant
fighting Hebrew robots. That's a buy, isn't it?

DC/Vertigo announced the new series "Faker" by Mike Carey and Jock
- featuring a group of students at a Mid-West college, each one
with a level of insincerity and pretence who one night, awake to
discover they have a new friend who they've always known but who
seems to have no identity. Although, some were reporting that
Duncan Fegredo has already drawn a first issue of "Faker"...
another victim to changing DC scheduling?

Holly Hunter is the female lead in the movie "Frost Flowers,"
written by Mike Carey and being published by "Blue Star." And the
"League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Dark Dossier" comes not with
a multi-media CD... but a vinyl record.

Some young wag at Bristol suggested that Frank Miller's script for
"All Star Batman And Robin The Boy Wonder" was revenge at Jim Lee
for Deathblow, the character Lee first drew, um, heavily
influenced by Frank Miler's "Sin City" style. Well, in a recent
interview, Jim Lee stated that Deathblow would be back, presumably
part of the upcoming Wildstorm revival line. I understand it will
be from an Italian writer. As for "All Star," you'll be able to
read script from the series shortly so you'll be able to see
exactly what Miller told Lee to draw, especially those Vicky Vale
pages...

"Phonogram" is a new Image series from two of my pub-mates Jamie
McKelvie and Kieran Gillon. They describe it as "Hellblazer" meets
"Blue Monday" - music, birds and magic.

I'M HYMIE, DAMMIT!

Dick Gautier was best known for playing HYMIE THE ROBOT on GET
SMART in the 1960's.  However, he also played BATMAN, an action
hero in the early 1970's, in a very "un-action" portrayal.  The
Equal Opportunity Board produced a Public Service announcement on
Equal Pay for Women, and hired Burt Ward (Robin) and Yvonne Craig
(Batgirl) also with announcer Willaim Dozier.  However, former
Batman Adam West declined to participate, and Gautier stepped in.
His portrayal consisted of two lines delivered while being tied
to a pole, hoping Batgirl would defuse a bomb.

[5] Interviews                                    Richard Vasseur
                                            richardv@sympatico.ca

Gordon Purcell comic book artist interviewed by Richard Vasseur
www.jazmaonline.com

Rich: You have worked for a variety of comic companies do you
have a favorite?

Gordon: My enjoyment of projects often has more to do with the
other creators and my editor with each job, so that answer
varies. I grew up reading DC and Marvel, so I do get a kick
working on those characters!

Rich: Do you have a favorite character you enjoy drawing?

Gordon: I have a few--Thing, Robin, Titans, Metal Men, JLA,
Avengers and Metamorpho!

Rich: What first got you interested in drawing?

Gordon:  I used to draw while watching cartoons when I was
growing up. My friends were impressed that I could draw Spider-
Man and Batman. That encouragement pushed me towards comics!

Rich: Do you have any formal training?

Gordon: I have bachelor degrees in studio arts and theater from
the University of Minnesota--with all the costume design and
directing you do with comics, the theater probably helped more!

Rich: What comic book did you enjoy working on most and why?

Gordon:  I loved my time on Silver Sable--I felt the book was
really going somewhere by the end of my run. I learned the most
working on Gammerauders--having to ink my own pencils taught me a
lot about what information I needed to give to my future  inkers.
And Star Trek was fun, because I got to visit the sets of the TV
shows and it was one of my favorite shows.

Rich: What was it like appearing on "Who Wants to be a
Millionaire"?

Gordon: What a blast! I only had two hours of sleep, so it all
felt like a dream. Everyone was very nice, but I had so many
deadlines I didn't really have time to prepare. It went by so
fast!

Rich: Do you remember the first comic book you read?

Gordon: Pretty sure it was a Disney--read a lot of those as a
kid. My dad bought me a Batman with "Hunt for a Robin Killer" as
the lead story when I was sick. That's the first comic that
really impacted me.

Rich: What comics do you read now?

Gordon: A lot, though I can't read everything because of time
limitations. Enjoying Teen Titans Go, Captain America, Simpsons,
JSA and Thunderbolts currently.

Rich: What do you like doing when you are not drawing?

Gordon: I have a wife and son that I like to hang with. Like
going to movies. I'm in two fantasy football teams with some
other comic pros.

Rich: What future projects do you have?

Gordon: I'm the regular artist of FLARE from Heroic Publishing.
I'm drawing Justice League Unlimited 19 for DC--hope to do more!
And I'm doing graphic novels aimed at children libraries,
including THE TROJAN HORSE for Lerner Books, bios on Ben Franklin,
Thomas Jefferson, Eleanor Roosevelt and the Constitution for
Capstone, and St. Henry Morse for Layne Morgan. I also draw
occasional ELVIRA tales for Claypool.

Rich: What is the most important thing for a new artist to
remember?

Gordon: Try to get some training and advice. Draw from real life.
Learn something about comic creators from the past. Remember, art
skills are only part of the job--professional attitude, making
deadlines, and a positive attitude help a lot!

Rich: How can someone contact you?

Gordon: My website is  http://gordonpurcell.home.comcast.net
There's contact info there!

Rich: Any last words of advice?

Gordon: If you really want to get into comics, then work on your
skills everyday, and be willing to really listen to advice.
