He also donned one sweet white suit for the nightly bar crawl, but that’s neither here…

For those not attending Heroes Con in Charlotte this weekend, and for most of those who are, the big news is the rumors swirling around DC Comics. There was chatter all day about DC Executive Editor Dan DiDio, and whether he might be out. The only real news, though, was that VP John Nee is…
Let’s get this out of the way up front: Not a great week for comics. A few good eggs, but a whole lot of blah hit the shelves this week. So it goes. In other news, I’ll be in Charlotte at Heroes Con this weekend, so if you make it there, give me a shout….
