Wednesday was the first time in a couple weeks that I was back to my regular routine: jumped on the subway after work, walked into my local shop, met my bestie, and then went for our weekly Comics and Beer time. It was a good day. A good Wednesday. But Hera help me, I could NOT get into my comics this week.
I mean, there’s were really solid books out this week. The Ramon Perez issue of Wolverine and the X-Men finally came out and I’d really been looking forward to it. But... I don’t know, call it malaise or ennui or meh-ness. I was half-way through my stack of comics and nothing was really jumping out at me.
And then Nick Fury and Frank Castle broke out of a Vietnamese prison. Read More...

Writer Ray Fawkes ("One Soul," Oni) knows that being on a book called "Constantine" featuring the magic-wielding anti-hero is potentially fraught with minefields. When he was introduced into the New 52 in "Justice League Dark," it was greeted with some skepticism, the long-held invisible wall between the DCU and Vertigo knocked down completely to allow the chain-smoking, morally complicated Brit potentially rub shoulders with Batman and Superman. "It's a little bit daunting because I know that there are fans of the old version of John who are very, very serious about the way they see him [...] and I hope that I can win them over."
Fawkes will be joined by co-writer Jeff Lemire and artist Renato Guedes in March for "Constantine," the character's spinoff from "Justice League Dark," presenting "a new version of John," the guy "who [uses] magic and knows what's going on with it" in the DCU, according to Fawkes.
