Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email me at david@multiversitycomics.com.
– Is Dial H, undoubtedly DC’s strangest book and Vince Ostrowski’s favorite book everrrr, getting canceled? Rich at Bleeding Cool seems to think so, citing Vol. 2 of the book being loaded with 10 (10!) issues, rather than a more typical 5 or 6. While this is by no means lock it, guaranteed evidence, it is a narrative leap that makes a lot of sense. Interested to see how this pans out, as it at least is DC trying to do something interesting.
– Also at Bleeding Cool, they have a preview of the upcoming Uber #0 from Avatar Press. This book comes from the team of Kieron Gillen and Caanan White, and is undoubtedly one to watch if only because of Gillen’s abilities.
– Comic Book Resources unveiled a new tool, FindAComicShop.com, that helps users locate comic shops in their area. While many likely have long established shops, this is a great tool for people on the move or visiting new locations. Check it out!
– I think many people were curious as to what Todd McFarlane’s reaction to the news of Angela coming over to the Marvel universe would be, and now we have it. Robot 6 has him as their Quote of the Day, and I have to say he handled it…well, about as nicely as you could possibly expect someone to do so. Very, very interesting.
– Great news for Monkeybrain fans! You can now pre-order their comics through ComiXology, a function that you previously could not use. I know that was something I had originally wanted from them, and to see that enabled? Totally awesome.
