DC Says Hi
 |
You may have noticed a lack of DC Comics news on Topless Robot, at least as compared to Marvel. It’s not that I’m a Marvel zombie, but that Marvel does a pretty good job of getting its news out there and keeping in touch with the fans, and thus it’s easier for me to know/hear what’s going on. It surely helps that they aren’t owned by the terrifyingly labyrinthine Time-Warner company.
So that’s why I’m excited to announce the arrival of the official DC Universe blog, run by my buddy Alex Segura. It’s going to do the news and announcement and preview thing (like the rainbow-tastic cover for Blackest Night #1-3, above), and I, for one, am pretty excited. I hope this means that I can up my comics news coverage in general and my DC news in specific on TR. And then when I make fun of them, Alex can hate me and put me on DC’s shit list far more efficiently. Yay!

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
