Nerdy News for June 15, 2005

It's been a slow news month so far, but we finally have some interesting tidbits! We alerted you to Jonathem Lethem's Omega the Unknown mini-series from Marvel, which we were excited about until we saw a preview of the art. Now it turns out from Lying in the Gutters that Steve Gerber is upset about this and wishes Lethem had not revamped his creation. Gerber has more things to say about this on his blog here. I do for sorry for Gerber, he's been kicked around by Marvel awfully hard. There's a couple of comic previews that are worth checking out: Astro City: Dark Age #1 and JLA Classified #8 where you can see Mary Marvel's Nazi like dark costume. This second "I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League" series is even better than the first one! Rich Johnston and other people have rumored that Grant Morrison will take over Detective Comics with Andy Kubert on the art, which sounds just fine to me. Another rumor has Adam Kubert working with Kid Cosmic Jim Starlin on an ongoing Adam Strange series, which sounds like a match made in heaven! Finally, if you're a game-a-holic and in the midst of summer's dry season, GameStop has a sale going on: buy 2 games and get a 3rd one for free, whichever is the cheapest. I picked up 3 games for $19: Project Gotham 1, Morrowind, and Medal of Honor Frontline; oldies but goodies. Nuff said.
