– Kelly Thompson writes at Comic Should Be Good! about the DC Bombshell covers (which I truly had not heard of until this article), and about how while they’re good covers – they really are, shockingly for DC – they underline how DC continues to completely miss the mark with their very narrow focus on audience, going as far as to compare DC to Marvel’s much more balanced choices with their female characters in recent solicits. It’s a good piece, and approaches it with a pretty balanced view overall. While I think male bombshell covers would be a little odd given what they are emulating, the fact that DC is so dead set on their middle-aged, male audience continues to astound me. God forbid you diversify, DC!

– Brian K. Vaughan talks “Saga” #19’s shocking open and close, “The Private Eye”, and the fact that he is in fact no longer part of the “Under the Dome” TV show. That’s a bit of a random mic drop, but the whole thing is a pretty great read as BKV always tends to be.

– Tula Lotay shared her cover to “Supreme: Blue Rose” #2 on Twitter, and hoo boy, is that thing a beauty.

– Lee Allred created a relationship dynamics chart as he started to work on “FF” with Mike Allred, and it’s a cool look at how some creators work on their books.

– Someone created a downloadable mix of all of the music featured in Los Bros Hernandez’s “Love & Rockets”, which is both ridiculously cool and a great way to connect the story with amazing music.

This shirt is completely spectacular.
