Since Grant Morrison’s R.I.P., the Joker has been pretty scarce, and some have speculated where the Clown Prince of Crime might have wandered off to. Dead? The new Red Hood? Hunting bats in the far past? Nope. Turns out he’s been right there waiting to make a dramatic entrance.
There are so many titles and issues that float through Stately Spoiler Manor that getting through all of them in a single week seems overwhelming. Fortunately there are some issues that rise to the top as must reads (Blackest Night, RASL, and Unthinkable to name a few). This is the case with the second installment of Batman: Streets of Gotham where the streets have been set a flame by Firefly.
I’m really excited to see Dustin Nguyen and Paul Dini team back up for some really good Batman stories, and apparently DC wants to feed that appetite with a sneak peek of Batman: Streets of Gotham #1 that arrives June 17, 2009.
The Talented Mr. Elliot
We are now well within the time period between when Batman disappeared, and the time when he will rise once again to strike fear in the hearts of the wicked and the vile. Who will fill those shoes is yet to be revealed, yet until the dawn of the Big Cowling as it will be called (I got nothin’), DC still has comics to sell. The last time we saw Paul Dini writing Batman, he was wrapping up his Heart of Hush story line. The ending saw Thomas Elliot penniless, and wander the streets of Gotham. How’s he going to rise and become a major player once again? Detective Comics #852 reveals the first part of his plan.
Calling the Spoiler Legion! If you are in Los Angeles this Friday (December 19, 2008), head down to Meltdown Comics and meet Paul Dini. The man behind Batman: The Animated Series, and more recently Detective Comics, will be signing Top Cow’s Jungle Belle: Santa Claus Vs. Frankenstein, and copies of Madame Mirage trades.
Dini will be on hand from 7:00 – 10:00 PM at Meltdown Comics, 7522 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles CA for a Q&A with fans. Cookies and eggnog will be provided for attendees. WOOT!
Take your Major Spoilers mini-poster with you, get a picture with you and Dini holding the sign, and we might just have prizes for the first five people who send us their pictures with the famous scribe.
Press Release
Acclaimed animation-and-comics writer Paul Dini (the “Justice League,” “Superman,” “Batman” animated series) amps up the action for Jedi heroines Luminara Unduli and Ahsoka Tano in “Cloak of Darkness,” an all-new episode of the hit animated series STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, premiering at 9 p.m. ET/PT Friday, Dec. 5, on Cartoon Network.
In “Cloak of Darkness,” Ahsoka and Jedi Master Luminara escort captured Viceroy Nute Gunray to trial – but they’re unaware that Count Dooku has dispatched his deadly assassin Asajj Ventress to free the prisoner and eliminate the Jedi.
In which Selina makes an enemy
It’s too bad DC didn’t take a long hard look at what Paul Dini was doing in the pages of Detective Comics and make the executive decision to turn his Heart of Hush story into the final Batman story. Instead of a whacked out tale, Dini takes the legend of Batman and brings it back to the one thing that can save any hero, heal any wound, and thwart the worst of people – love.
Top Cow has announced Greg Horn is lending his artistic talent to the upcoming Jingle Belle: Santa Claus vs. Frankenstein one-shot written by fan favorite Paul Dini. If you are used to seeing Stephanie Gladden’s traditional interpretation of Belle, get ready for a bit of a head twist with Horn.
Looks like DC is collecting Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen’s first six issues of Detective Comics into a hard cover and have asked Dustin to do a whole new cover, that frankly is jaw dropping.
so this cover is special to me for many reason.
originally, i thought this was a trade paper back, i could still be wrong, but hopefully im not. It is announced as a hardcover. i did this cover about 3 months ago, it collects our first ( dini, derek, and myself and mr milligan guest stars!) 6 issues of our run- special to me #1.
it was way fun and way flattering for DC to actually ask me do an entire new cover for our collection. i think before, we were just using art from previous issues. And with trades and hardcover, i get to put the logo on anywhere i wants, so i chose the floor. special to me #2
and finally, with this cover and the next one for issue 850, i would have done 12 detective covers so far this year! woohoOO! and its only july! my personal goal for the longest was to be part of Detective Comic’s continuum for at least 12 issues straight- while providing my own covers. if all goes well, i might hit that mark this year. so theres potential “special to me #3″
Take the jump to see the big bad glorious thing.
Top Cow has announced that Paul Dini’s Dinicartoons has found a new home at Top Cow. Featuring Dini’s popular Jingle Belle, the first one-shot arrives in November, featuring Santa Claus taking on Frankenstein.
The Dinicartoons cast of characters includes: Little Rashy and Superrica the sock monkeys; Polly Green the Halloween witch; Ida Red, the spunky Texas cowgirl; Tashi Ounce, the snow leopard girl; and Hyper Hyena the… well, the name says it all.
“Some Dinicartoons books will feature already known characters like Jingle Belle and Sheriff Ida Red,” said Dini. “Others will be completely new creations.”
Dini and Top Cow announced Dini’s creation, Jingle Belle would be moving to the comic publisher, and today word is the first issue will arrivein November.
In Jingle Belle: Santa Claus vs. Frankenstein Dini has crafted a saga in which his heroine discovers Frankenstein’s monster wandering in the Artic wastes, finds him job in Santa’s workshop where all is well until an excessively politically correct city declares Old Saint Nick “taboo,” arousing the monster’s considerable ire.
DC held its Batman panel on Friday, and once again Major Spoilers is here to boil everything down to the most important bits.
I really get the distinct impression that Paul Dini has a collection of favorite Batman characters; Zatanna, Batman, and the Riddler, as this issue features another appearance by the criminal turned good guy trying to out smart one of the most brilliant minds in the DCU.
Top Cow Productions has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of two titles arriving in stores this week. Take the jump for the final installment of Paul Dini’s Madame Mirage #6 and Pilot Season: Twilight Guardian #1.
Top Cow has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of Paul Dini’s Madame Mirage #3. The espionage story featuring a holographic hitwoman is not too bad, and is worth checking out.
