ON NOTICE!
















UNCOMPLETED MINI-SERIES

Ultimate Hulk vs Wolverine. Daredevil: Father. Sonic Disruptors. 'Nuff Said.

VARIANT COVERS
1:10. 1:25. 1:75. You snuck in through the backdoor and I hate you.


(for making me spend $9.99 on Teen Titans #34).

MANGA
We get it! You sell like hotcakes. The format is appealing. Your appeal is widespread. But keep in mind the portrayal of women in your various books are no different (if not worse) than American comics. So nyah.

THE NEW FLASH SERIES
The art team on #3 should've been there from the beginning. It would've made the story more bearable.

LATE BOOKS
Wonder Woman. Civil War. Green Lantern. Come on already. Tell us you want to change the format from monthly to six-weekly (coined!) and I'll be right behind you. But damn, stop soliciting these books if they can't get out on time. Create a new schedule - admit that only a small percent of artists can actually still do monthly comics anymore - stop coddling TV-writers and get on their asses for scripts! - and I'll support you all the way. Stop dicking us around, be upfront (not just the day before a book is supposed to ship) and restore your credibility and professionalism.

NO HARVEY FOR ELK'S RUN
Not one. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Not even Best Letterer. When you're up against House of M #8 as Best Single Story, I guess it's the thought that counts.

WIZARD MAGAZINE
Just because I have to wait three months before I can safely read it without having recent comics being spoiled.
