Beat The Press

One of the down sides of the weekly column format is that some of
your scoops are inadvertently lost when a company puts out a
press release before you can capitalize on the info. Case in
point, I heard that Will Conrad (Serenity) would be the artist on
Freshmen II, but couldn't post it before Top Cow officially
announced it.

Now, what this means for the next Serenity miniseries isn't
clear. Conceivably, Conrad could do both, but the schedules may
overlap. I don't know for sure one way or the other...
