Official Press Release
A WHOLE NEW TCJ.COM
MARCH 7, 2011, SEATTLE, WA—The Comics Journal is proud to announce the relaunch of TCJ.com with new editorial oversight.
The editorial team that is taking over are Dan Nadel and Tim Hodler. Together they co-founded the Eisner-nominated magazine and blog Comics Comics with cartoonist Frank Santoro in 2006. They published four print issues and the web edition quickly grew into one of the most vital forums for critical and historical discussion of comics, marked by contributions from some of the leading cartoonists and writers in the field.
The Comics Journal print magazine has chronicled the comics medium since it’s first publication in 1976. It has been a leading force of journalism exploring both the facets of the comics industry and the artistic value of the books. Releasing over 300 issues, The Journal is changing face as well with an over 600-page tome of criticism and interviews for issue 301.
The new TCJ.com will continue this tradition by offering an online magazine for interviews, criticism, history and ideas in a concise, beautifully designed format. The site will feature multiple book reviews every week, making it a clearinghouse for the latest critical responses to comics and graphic novels from all over the spectrum.

Fiore, Joe McCulloch, Chris Mautner, Ryan Holmberg, Gary Groth, and many others.
Along with featuring long form articles on all aspects of the medium from leading contemporary writers, TCJ.com will also host a monthly diary feature, in which an artist (or other comics figure) takes us through a week of their life in prose, pictures or cartoons, one day at a time. This column is kicking off with Vanessa Davis, followed by Brandon Graham, then Joyce Farmer, with many more to come.
The new TCJ.com is focused on bringing the magazine’s archive to a new online readership. With holdings including hundreds of interviews with the leading cartoonists of the 20th century and serve as a living record of the development of the comics medium. Beginning March 1, and rolling out over several months, each issue of The Comics Journal will be made available in its entirety to subscribers.

New York, NY (March 7, 2011) – Wizard World, Inc.

The Company now trades under the symbol “WIZD.”
Mr. Shamus states, “I believe the Company’s new digital magazine provides the best medium to give the consumers and producers of pop culture what they seek in a format they are comfortable with. Wizard World digi-zine focuses heavily on future trends and product introductions and launches, as well as spotlights those that help determine the next hottest trend. With access to fans that number in the millions worldwide and through the production of Comic Cons across North America, I believe that the Company is in a unique position to launch Wizard World digi-zine to a massive audience. Further, those who are interested in graphic novels, genre films, video games, comic books and other pop culture will likely find that Wizard World digi-zine suits their interests.”
The inaugural edition of Wizard World digi-zine includes a look at what could be the best undiscovered new comic book launch of 2011, as well as an exclusive one-on-one interview with Batman and Rain Man movie producer, and best-selling author, Peter Guber.

It’s the final issue for the first volume of Charles Soule‘s Image and Shadowline comic 27. The series is a crazy series focused on music and magic. It’s hard to explain, but the original story and fantastic art has us drawn in. Here’s hoping for a second volume.

Convention season has kicked off with the end of the Emerald City Comicon. Now the focus is on C2E2 and already hints of announcements coming from there. As always, we can’t get to every story, but here’s what other sites thought would be good to cover.
Around the Blogs:
Comics Beat – DC Comics Month-to-Month Sales: January 2011 – It’s DC’s January sales breakdown.
Bleeding Cool – DC Gold And Silver Jewelery From Down Under – I’m tempted to grab one of those Green Lantern rings.
USA Today – First Look: Super-creators pair up for ‘The Infinite’ – Liefeld and Kirkman together on a comic. Should be pretty interesting.
Dread Central – Exclusive: Andrew Lincoln Talks The Walking Dead – Is the second season here yet?
Bleeding Cool – Marvel Sold Separate Film Licenses For Amazing Spider-Man and Spectacular Spider-Man Because Licensing Department Thought They Were Two Separate Characters? – The headline pretty much sums that one up.

It took three issues for me to get into the series and the fourth continues in this positive direction by again giving me something I can relate to. Days Missing: Kestus #4 almost makes it to present day, stopping on the eve of the new millennium as Y2K looms and anxiety was so high. A fictional take of the disaster and what if is presented before us with a great twist.
Archaia and Roddenberry Productions continue the history-making series DAYS MISSING! January 1st, 2000—the dawn of a new century came and went without incident. Or did it? On a day of fear and uncertainty, excitement and anticipation, with billions of dollars spent in preparation and humanity’s way of life hanging in the balance, The Steward encounters a true-life super villain bent on bringing the horror of Y2K to the world. Since the dawn of mankind, the enigmatic Steward has guided our destiny in solitude. But now he’s not alone—the immortal woman known as Kestus leads a secret society capable of predicting The Steward’s comings and goings. How will they affect the impending Y2K disaster? DAYS MISSING: KESTUS #4 adds another chapter to the thrilling exploits of The Steward, a being whose ability to “fold” days of time has resulted in critical human events being absent from our historical record. Although their existence is not remembered…the occurrences of these days have forever changed the course of Earth’s evolution!
The series is about mankind and our penchant for good and bad. It questions the existence of destiny, fate and God. Exactly what you’d expect from something with the Rodenberry name on it. It has many of the same themes you’ve seen in their series like Star Trek.
The series has one more issue to go and I have no idea what to expect. We’ll see what the final issue has in store, but so far it’s got me interested and looking forward to what’s next.
And that’s a wrap for this first story arc of the series. Lucid #4 is a satisfying ending to the series, it has some faults, but generally it’s a solid ending and overall entertaining series. Writer Michael McMillian has pulled it off quite well in this strange mix of magic and the real world.
The first LUCID miniseries comes to a shocking climax as Agent Matthew Dee and Wren confront the New Pendragon! Can they stop his terrible kingdom from rising before it is too late? What insane new weapon threatens mage-kind? What does fate hold in store for President Monday? What horrible secret lurks in the bowels of Tintagel Castle? And just what is up with Matthew’s girlfriend? Don’t miss the spectacular conclusion!
The story was cool and there was definitely some cool stuff like the attempted assassination. The end has some twists to it (and a few seemed jammed in), and my only complaint was I got some characters mixed up and one’s recovery just happens with no explanation or mention. But, overall entertaining and fun.
I liked the series as a whole. The idea of the government having this agency of magic was cool, and overall I’d like the series turn more into a magic FBI or Secret Service. I think there’s lots of material to mine there and could make for a great follow up. But, for a first spin out, the work is solid fun.
In March the Smithsonian is putting some of the greatest female scientists under the microscope whose “passion the save the planet as made them today’s superheroes.” In the special Women in Science website the Smithsonian has also created comic books to introduce people as to why these women are so special.
Scientists highlighted include Elisabeth Blackburn, JoGayle Howard, Nan Hauser, Elisabeth Kalko, Gudrun Pfleuger. You have the option to download the comics or read them right in your browser.
The Smithsonian is also running ads for the site on websites such as Facebook. There hasn’t been a day I haven’t seen the ad at least once. Overall, a great use of comic books and a website.
