A Countdown tie-in? Really?
Paul Dini is an incredibly busy guy. He’s got his Madame Mirage stuff over at Top Cow, Detective Comics, and that Countdown thing you might have heard about. Countdown seems to a preoccupation with Mr. Dini; he’s even gone so far as cram as many Bat-characters into the title as he can. So why not take an entire issue of Detective Comics and make it a tie-in issue? Sounds like a great idea, but is it? Is it really?
Imagi Animation Studios has announced Paul Dini is penning the CG-animated movie Gatchaman.
“The original series was one of the classics of early anime, and the film will be very true to the Japanese source material,” said Dini. “As a studio, Imagi is constantly breaking the boundaries of animated adventure. Not only are their action sequences amazing, but their characters are driven, complex and play for life-or-death stakes. It’s a great environment for a writer with a rather dark take on animation.”
Everyone knows I love Dini’s work, I just hope his writing duties on other projects won’t cause mmore delays with Detective Comics.
Gatchaman is scheduled for a 2009 release.
The first issue of the espionage/revenge thriller is set to arrive soon, and the reviews have been pretty good. Take the jump for the sneak peek of issue #2.
Beware the Great Disaster!
Here we go, a week full of revelations and answers to all your questions! Wait…what? This is only week 37? Damn. That means it’s another issue full of twists and turns, as our group of heroes trip through the DC Universe on the way to The End. This week a couple of stories get a much needed kick in the pants, while others get us nowhere fast. Does that mean Countdown #37 is a bad issue? Not at all.
Word out of Chicago is artist Dustin Nguyen will make a return to the Batman universe taking on the art duties for Detective Comics. This is not the first time Nguyen has drawn Batman, he is currently doing work on Superman/Batman, and this fall, you’ll see his Batman work in DC’s Halloween Special, in a story written by Paul Dini that features – surprise – Zatanna.
Dustin Nguyen joins Paul Dini’s Detective Comics in early 2008.

You would think a mud bath would be good for you
It was one of those weeks, where I was flooded with too many things on my plate (meetings, preparing for classes, meetings, writing for various blogs, meetings), and I didn’t even have time to sit down and read the latest issue of Countdown until Sunday evening. Mary Marvel continues to kick it in Gotham, the hunt for Ray Palmer kicks off, and what do you do when you find yourself at 30,000 feet without a parachute?
Top Cow Productions has announced the first issue of the Paul Dini series Madame Mirage has sold at Diamond. This sell-out includes both the regular editions featuring covers by kenneth rocafort and Greg Horn.
In order to meet demand, Top Cow has announced they are going back to press with an all new cover.
“I’m thrilled with the sell-out on Madame Mirage #1. Fans have embraced the book and we’ve had sensational support from critics and retailers,” commented Paul Dini. Dini added, “If they liked #1, wait until they read issues 2 thru 6. Our story is just getting started!”
Take the jump to see the new cover to the second printing that is scheduled to arrive July 25.

Bricks in the Wall
Ok everyone, here it is, the issue that has caused more controversy than Perry White knowing the Red Hood is Jason Todd. It’s a week we see Mary get her powers back, Jimmy needs to open his eyes, and the Monitors go all Sparta.
It has been heavily hyped these last couple of months, and now Top Cow is ready to launch its newest series Madame Mirage on the world. Top Cow has sent Major Spoilers a 7 page sneak peek at the Paul Dini series, which gives us a peek at the mysterious figure.
I’ve seen the preview, and this looks to be a great story!
Death of a New God
Last week readers got a few clues into the mystery of Jimmy Olsen, Mary Batson stumbled upon a repowered Black Adam, Stinky made the other Monitors angry, and Karate Kid continued to hang out in a JLA cell. So what becomes of our key characters this week?
Hey kids, DC’s Countdown arrived in stores today, and if you live in New York and love love love Paul Dini, you can get your issue signed by heading down to Midtown Comics at its Times Square location (200 West 40th Street) from 5 to 7 PM.
COUNTDOWN will serve as the spine of the DC Universe for a year, with its events sending ripples and shockwaves through the rest of DC’s titles. Issue #51 hits shelves May 9th. The series will count down backwards, one number a week, until issue #0 is published in 2008.
