    I'm constantly amazed at what they get away with on this show...

    According to Comics Continuum, this episode will air on Cartoon Network on October 15 at 7pm:

    "The Mask of Matches Malone!" Batman gets amnesia while in his Matches Malone persona. Features a musical number by the Birds of Prey, including Black Canary and the Huntress. The opener includes Black Orchid and Poison Ivy. Written by Gail Simone, directed by Michael Chang.

    Of course Cartoon Network, being Cartoon Network, messed around with the schedule and ran the Ted Kord episode tonight instead. Presumably, Gail's episode will run next week. (And if you missed the Doom Patrol episode last week, try to catch a rerun. They faithfully adapted the most famous of all Doom Patrol comics.)

    Apparently the delay was because CN has decided to edit the episode for American broadcast. The copies that are available online are from the Australian broadcast, so if you know where to look you might want to grab it now before which version is which gets confusing.

    According to this thread on Gail's message board, the lyrics will be unchanged but a "couple seconds" of animation (like Huntress' wagging finger) will be altered. The episode has not been rescheduled yet, to my knowledge. ("Emperor Joker" will run this week, then "The Criss Cross Conspiracy".)

Classics Review of The Demon: Hell's Hitman

Issues:  The Demon #40, 42-49 (Collected in The Demon: Hell’s Hitman TPB along with Annual #2, which is not reviewed here) Writer: Garth Ennis Artist: John McCrea, Denis Rodier, Nigel Dobbyn Price:  $12.99 Garth Ennis has always been my favorite comic writer.  Rather than tell simple one-note, three-act stories he always seems to be able to write tight but rollicking stories with good pacing and often with an ending that can leave one staring slack-jawed at the final page.  The brutality he brings to stories is rarely solely for shock value (except for maybe the series Dicks ) but instead is a realistic depiction and necessary ingredient of the stories he likes to tell.  Although many artists contribute to this run, Ennis starts out with his longtime collaborator, John McCrea.  Having previously collaborated on Hitman , The Boys: Herogasm , and the aforementioned Dicks , McCrea can use his art to bring Ennis’s twisted visions alive as few oth...

INDIE COMICS: Huffin’ & puffin’ B.B. Wolf’s got the blues

BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPs  (Top Shelf, May 2010 hardcover, black & white, 86 pages,   $12.95)  As told by JD Arnold with illustrations by Richard Koslowski What got my attention immediately was the pairing up of a classic fairy tale with musical motifs.  That’s a combination that pushes two of my “hot buttons” - -  so I made it a must-read.  I was not disappointed.  This is a very entertaining and cleverly designed work that rivals Bill Willingham’s  creativity on the long-running FABLES series from Vertigo. As if taking the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and turning it upside down wasn’t enough to interest, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS  serves as an allegory for the oppression of  the black population in the deep South (Mississippi) in the 1920’s.  While they may be free (wolves),  the governing bodies (pigs) have the power to deny them their land, homes and possessions and even own the...

Meeting writer Lance Parkin . . . . .

THE AUTHOR SIGNINGS AT CAPTAIN BLUE HEN COMICS 11/07/2009 Opportunities to meet authors, chat with them and ask questions in relaxed and casual surroundings don’t occur often. So, it was a real treat to be introduced to three separate writers on the same day, at the same location. I opted to ask all three writers (Greg Cox, Lance Parkin and Dave Thompson) the same opening question: At what point did you decide to pursue what you do as a career? The early ambition of Lance Parkin was to be a journalist but he became disillusioned as he learned more about the position and didn’t pursue it. He was an early and forever fan of Doctor Who and loved the novelizations. At the age of 23 he thought to himself “I can do the same thing. I can write as well as this.” At that time Virgin (the publisher) were putting out two Doctor Who novels per month and were looking for more writers. They were willing to accept unsolicited submittals ...
