Monster Attack Network by Marc Bernardin, Adam Freeman and Nima Sorat, published by AIT/Planet Lar
Ever wondered who cleans up after those giant monster attacks? Or who is responsible for making sure the city gets evacuated? This is the story of the folks responsible for maintaining the safety of the citizens of the tiny island nation of Lapuatu. It’s a decidedly high-concept book, with a beautifully calculated appeal to monster movie fans who don’t take themselves too seriously in its premise. It’s fast-paced, funny and has a frenetically expressionistic art style that’s just enough this side of caricature to get the humor and energy of the story right. It’s fantastic fun, escapist entertainment, to be brief.
Not going to Comic-Con. Not particularly interested in Comic-Con. Maybe if it were about two hours closer, about one-third to one-half the size, and actually about comic-books instead of selling games, movies and tv shows to nerds, I’d be interested, but everything I ever hear about it suggests that, nope, the closest thing the comics industry has to a trade expo is not for me.
I’m interested in what Bully has to say about it, of course, because it’s Bully. I half suspect that little head full of fluff is the most sensible person down there.
Needlessly Cynical Reactions to Comic Book News

That would be “none.”
DC to publish Heroes comic. And thus the Ouroboros goes on…
DC to publish World of Warcraft comic. Here’s a dialogue excerpt from the first issue:

(Maybe someday I’ll drop the name of my Tauren Hunter on here…it’s not hard to figure out…)
The State is finally coming to DVD.
Tuesday was Lynda Carter’s birthday.
In honor of that event, here’s a Wonder Woman panel that’s not the slightest bit ironic, given later developments with the character:
