SDCC: Actual Comics News Trifecta
 |
?? The character of Chloe Sullivan, the one good character from Smallville (at least that’s been there from the start), is joining to join the actual DC universe in Action Comics #893. I think this is a Good Thing, and way, way overdue.
? Apparently, the Red Hulk is joining the Avengers. I think this is a Bad Thing, because the Red Hulk Sucks Ass, and this announcement fills me with a Hulk-Like Rage as the Red Hulk Is Jeph Loeb’s second most-awful creation, assuming you count “Everything He Did in the Ultimate Universe” as #1. Which I do.
? Marvel is going to re-print or re-release or do something with Crossgen. This is A Very Bizarre Thing. (Via Comics Alliance and CBR)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. 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.
