The WTF Spectrum: A Breakdown Of DC's April Covers
Posted 5/1/13 11:16 am EST by MTV Geek in Comic Books, DC Comics
By Matt Wilson
It didn't actually say so on the covers of DC's comics in April -- a stamp that initially said "WTF Certified" wasn't used -- but the entire month was what the publisher dubbed "WTF Month." What did that mean, exactly? It meant all of the company's New 52 titles shipped with gatefold covers, the inside part of which was supposed to contain some sort of surprise that tied into the story within.
Some of 'em worked. A bunch of 'em didn't.
I didn't read every title that came out of DC in April, but I read a good many (namely, the 19 the publisher sent review copies of to the press) and I found that you could pretty easily place a lot of the month's covers into one of four categories, ranging from total fakeouts that had essentially nothing to do with the comics inside to out-and-out spoilers of last-page reveals.
So, below, I've funneled my DC sampling from the month into those four piles. (And you should be warned that spoilers for the comics of April are to follow. If you haven't read them, beware.)

C2E2 Interview: Peter David On The End Of 'X-Factor'
Posted 4/29/13 10:26 am EST by Charles Webb in C2E2, Comic Books, Interviews, Marvel
This September, "X-Factor" is finished. During C2E2 over the weekend, Marvel announced that issue #262 under writer Peter David would be the last of the long-running title. Of all of the publisher's mutant books in the wake of M-Day (has it been that long?) David's "X-Factor" has survived and thrived under the weight of major events, a rotating stable of artists, and more importantly, the fickleness of a comic market that not be keen to support a series that was essentially an evolving, long-form mystery.
The road to the end begins this summer, and while Mr. David didn't promise that all secrets would be revealed or anything as grand as all that, he does hint that there will be some finality to his run--and as a reader, I can only hope that mutant sometimes detective Jamie Madrox and mystery girl Lyla Miller will arrive at the end of all of their enigmas.
After the jump, Mr. David offered us a few words on his time with the book, and bringing it to this seemingly sudden finale.
