MUCH MUCH MUCH better.

This is still going to suck, though.
 
DC Takes Final Drops From League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Barrel Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Because in November, DC is releasing a League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Omnibus. And at 416 pages long, that’s enough to fit both series and the Black Dossier. Bet there won’t be a vinyl record enclosed though. And what about the paper stock and sizes for the Dossier? Could be a tricky one…

There are a few other omnibi of interest from both DC and Marvel too. We have a 704 page Jim Lee/Chris Claremont X-Men Omnibus would should collect their run on Uncanny X-Men and X-Men. There’s a Geoff Johns Hawkman Omnibus a Geoff Johns Teen Titans Omnibus both clocking in at 320 pages. A 512 page DC/Marvel Omnibus Vol 1 featuring some of the classic cross company crossovers… an indicator of a new one to come perhaps? A Kamandi Omnibus at 448 pages to join Jack Kirby Fourth World Omnibus at 304 pages. And a second Steve Ditko Omnibus at 384 pages to join the first one.

WC 11: Warren Ellis Talks Secret Avengers - Comics Feature at IGN

IGN Comics: For the record, I'd buy the hell out of that book. So, can you tell us how long you'll be on board the series for?

Warren Ellis: Right now, six issues. I said to Tom [Brevoort], I'll do six, and if I haven't completely screwed the deadlines, I'll do you another six. But if the book falls late, I'll bail out and you can hand off to someone who's actually professional. So we'll see.

...


One thing that does change the nature of the book is that my six issues are all self-contained single issues. So they're all about working through each book's mission, which doesn't leave much space for the characters to do anything other than be who they are.

Moon Knight could have been a member of either team. Insofar as he is, as Henry McCoy describes him in my first issue, a borderline psychotic who wears a white bag over his head.

GUY.com | Mad Comics

Growing up, I had two cool mentors, both a few years older than I was. They introduced me to Pink Floyd and the Who and the Doors and Monty Python and Saturday Night Live. They also, separately (they didn’t know each other), introduced me to the greatness of Mad — the comic book it started out as, and the magazine it became.

I inherited stacks of old Mad magazines from one guy, and I inherited a bunch of Mad paperbacks from both. Some of the paperbacks reprinted select stories from Mad in its comic-book days. I was hooked. This, along with my early exposure to the brain radiation that was Howard the Duck (more on that in a future column), warped my mind forever.

Newsarama.com : CHEW's John Layman Returns to Marvel to Wage IDENTITY WARS

John Layman is not new to Marvel Comics. He wrote a good number of books for them in the mid-2000s; the three-issue Fantastic Four: House of M, the post-Decimation five-issue miniseries Sentinel Squad O*N*E, and 12 issues of a Gambit solo title. In 2007, he penned the Marvel/Dynamite crossover Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness.

Layman's returning to Marvel with "Identity Wars," a three-part series starting with Amazing Spider-Man Annual #38, in stores today and illustrated by the formerly DC exclusive Lee Garbet (Batgirl).

The second part comes in May with Deadpool Annual #1 illustrated by Juan Doe (Spider-Man & The Human Torch in Bahia de los Muertos!), and finishes up in June's Incredible Hulks Annual #1, featuring art by Al Barrionuevo (The Authority).

The story features the Spider-Man, Deadpool and Hulk of the mainstream Marvel Universe being transported to a parallel universe where they encounter alternate, "opposite" versions of their normal selves. To find out a bit more about “Identity Wars” — plus get some scoop on more of his upcoming work — Newsarama discussed the story with Layman himself.
