Pickings from Previews

The End of the World is Nigh
In the TV series Whoops Apocalypse, the new British Prime Minister, Kevin Pork, bases his defence policy on his belief that he is Superman. This is part of the chain of events that leads to global nuclear holocaust.

So it’s a little worrying that DC Comics is bringing out a Superman doll that looks like Gordon Brown.



Update
It seems that Norm Breyfogle is, after all, working on comics. He’s listed as one of the creators of the new Guardian Line range of Christian super-hero comics from Urban Ministries Incorporated.

Norm’s Mojo Working

With Alan Grant writing, Norm Breyfogle drew a long, entertaining run of Batman stories, which has been sadly neglected by DC’s reprint editors. His last sustained run of comics, according to the Grand Comics database, was a series of The Spectre that ended a few years ago.

I hadn’t seen anything by Breyfogle for ages, until I opened the April issue of Mojo magazine (no 161) and found this full-page picture illustrating their review of the new Arcade Fire album.



Nice to see that Norm is still gainfully employed, but it would be even nicer to see some more comics.
