DC RELAUNCH: Warren Ellis speaks up

Warren Ellis has a thing or two to say about the new DC Relaunch, and it may give some a bit of hope.

The New DC comics stuff looks so much like stuff I would never read that it oddly fills me with hope that they are targetting the core audience they want. If a 43-year old man looks at most of this promo stuff and goes meh, then that’s very probably a good sign for them. Best of luck to Dan D, Jim L et all for the imminent relaunch.The downside, of course, is that Ellis may be more on the nose with his comments when it comes to highlighting the differences between the real core audience and the new DC core audience.

#Follow Friday @GailSimone

There are a lot of comic creators on Twitter, but none bring a smile to the face like Gail Simone when she’s having fun messing with people’s minds. Is she joking, or being serious?  You be the judge in today’s installment of Follow Friday.

Simone occasionally gets into confrontational exchanges with other creators, but most of her jabs are full of fun, as she usually brings some light perspective to matters people sometimes take too seriously.
