Forget your troubles. Come read about mine.
1. The public library is pretty much the biggest scam on the planet. Free books, free music, free movies for everyone! Take five books if you want...we trust you.
2. If my son can do something he knows is wrong, he will.
3. I love watching my kids play ball in the summer, but by the time July rolls around with her 90 degree heat and 90% humidity, and her peri-menopausal, PMS attitude (oh wait...that's me) I'm kind of over it. And, at least half of me secretly hopes they don't make it to the tournaments.
4. If you happen to be sitting under a tree at your daughter's softball game and a big purple glob plops onto your shirt and pants, you will be disgusted because you think it's bird poop. Then you will be really relieved when you realize it's just a rotten mulberry.
5. I have had bad headaches since I was eight years old. Last Tuesday, I eliminated sugar from my diet and I haven't had a headache since. You would think this would make me stop eating chocolate forever. You would be wrong.
6. When someone asks me if I'm doing Atkins or South Beach and I tell them I'm doing the Suzanne Somers diet and they laugh at me, is it wrong for me to hit them over the head with a Thighmaster?
7. Heterosexual men shouldn't walk miniature poodles. Okay to own. Not okay to walk.
8. My 10 year old daughter waits to cut her toenails until I begin referring to them as talons.
9. I asked her if she would mind if I shared that toenail tidbit, and she said, "Not as long as you post a picture of them."
10. I wouldn't do that to you.
11. If you buy a black lab puppy from a breeder because the bloodlines are healthy, and in the first eight weeks that you have her she gets a UTI, mites, two staph infections, anemia, drinks latex paint and eats a rock, you're going to want to kick yourself for not going to the pound and getting a mutt. You'll also want to kick the breeder.
12. Then you'll see her adorable puppy face and none of that will even matter.
The other day my seven year old son came in the room where I was reading and proudly announced, "I just peed in the bathtub!"
I put down the newspaper. "What? Why?"
"Because my sister was using the toilet and I needed to pee really bad."
This conversation would make perfect sense...if we didn't have two other toilets.
The next afternoon, he was eating some grapes when he dropped his entire bowl on the floor. Because we have two dogs, there is no such thing as a five-second rule in this house. My husband told him to go wash off the grapes before eating any more of them.
After a few minutes my son returned with any empty bowl.
I asked, "Where are your grapes?"
"I put them down the drain."
I hesitantly asked, "In the kitchen sink?"
My BBQ skewers have never come in so handy.
I was sick yesterday. Really sick. Dizzy and exhausted with a horrible headache that is still lingering today. I thought, maybe, it was the case of beer I drank while camping over the weekend. Until my daughter came down with it too.
My daughter rarely gets sick. She is going into the fifth grade and hasn't thrown up since March of her second grade year. And, I better not have jinxed myself by typing that.
The fact that she doesn't get ill very often makes this story even worse. This one event guarantees I will never win Mother of the Year.
In August, 2003 my husband won a fun-filled, family trip from his employer. He received four nights in a nice Cleveland hotel, four tickets to Cedar Point (the world's best amusement park...just sayin'), eight tickets to Sea World (which meant we got to go two days in a row), four tickets to an Indians game and a fully-paid dinner at an expensive restaurant.
We drove up to Cleveland on Wednesday, August 13. The morning of the 14th, as we were preparing for our hour-long drive to Cedar Point, my daughter complained of a stomachache. By the time we got to the amusement park, she had a fever. I gave her some Tylenol and she did her best to have a good time.
Late that afternoon the power went out at the park. Luckily we all had our feet firmly planted on the ground and because we had been there for over six hours, my daughter was sick, and we still had two days at Sea World ahead of us, we decided it was a good time to leave. We hopped in the car and started to look for a gas station, as our car was nearly on empty.
Only problem? Every gas station along the highway back to Cleveland didn't have power either. And, when we made it back to our hotel on the fumes of the gas tank we realized there was no electricity there...oh, and no water either.
By this time, my daughter was feeling very, very ill. A friend who lives in Cleveland brought us a small amount of gas and despite my daughter's stomach pain, headache and fever, we dragged her to Sea World (they had power) the next day in hopes it would take her mind off of it.
We did the same thing the day after that, even though she was still feeling sick. We went to the restaurant that night and she wouldn't eat a thing. We then went to the Indians game, where we stayed for maybe two innings before leaving because she felt so bad. That evening, she was pathetic and so horribly sick that we almost took her to the hospital.
On Sunday morning, as we were returning to Columbus, she was feeling better, but I started to feel sick. By the time we got home two hours later I was in such pain that my husband took me to the emergency room. I had all the same symptoms as my daughter, but I was only sick for a short time before I knew there was something really wrong.
After a couple of hours and a few tests, including a spinal tap, it was determined that I had viral meningitis. Not the kind that kills you, but still. I spent the next four days in a dark room until my symptoms improved.
That's right, we had been dragging our daughter around amusement parks for three days, in the August heat, during the great blackout of 2003, making her stay at a hotel that didn't even have ice or a flushable toilet and she had meningitis the whole time.
It's six years later and I still feel guilty.
My daughter and son recently stayed at my mom's house for the night and she treated them to dinner at a local restaurant.
The three of them were seated in a booth directly next to two men. My mom said that one of guys looked very disheveled, and the other had a beard down to his waist.
As much as my mom told him not to, my seven year old son could not stop staring. Finally, one of the men started to talk to my boy.
And, because my mom knows my son's history, she quickly turned to the bearded man and said, "You probably shouldn't ask him any questions. He's very honest."
Nice, Mom. Now we know where my son learned how to be so subtle.
My seven year old son is blatantly honest. This boy once told a cashier that she looked like a fish and told a TV repairman that he looked like Santa because of his big, round belly.
He has mentioned to a good friend of mine that she has a huge forehead, he touched the face of my husband's co-worker and told her that he liked her "little mole" and he once saw two Muslim women wearing headscarves, mistook those headscarves for bandannas, and then called them both pirates.
I never know what he will say.
The other day our puppy, Daisy, wouldn't stop throwing up. After a trip to the vet, a half-dozen x-rays and a barium study, her doctor sent us home with some special canned food and a bottle of Pepcid.
That afternoon, my son was sitting on my lap when he eyed one of Daisy's toys sitting on the floor; a ball you fill with kibble that she can roll around until the treats fall out.
He asked, "Can I put some little bones in Daisy's ball?"
I replied, "No. Not today, buddy. She can't have anything hard right now. The vet gave us those cans because the food inside is soft and squishy."
Then he ran his hand up my sleeve and said, "Oh. Like your arms."
On a fair June day, three great women came a very long way.
and that tote was full of yummy swag!
I got a tiara, a sash, and a bouquet made of paper.
And, even the dogs got treats. Beef and bacon flavor!
They made us a lock, reminding us to close the door.
And, there was beef, sausage, a duck and more!
All in all, it was a fantastic day made possible by people across the USA.
and now my family won't die of starvation!
Back in the spring of 2002, my husband and I were told by a pediatric cardiologist that our baby would be born with a very rare heart defect. His best guess was that our son would be premature, then be sedated and ventilated until he reached five pounds and at that point, he would have open heart surgery.
When the news came that our child's heart was getting worse and he would, indeed, be born seven weeks too soon, people in our lives starting mobilizing.
My best friend organized a massive effort to have people bring us dinner. She knew we would be at the hospital a lot, and we still had our three year old daughter to take care of. It was unbelievably thoughtful.
Which is why it should make perfect sense that we declined the offer.
My husband and I felt sure we could handle our household, his job, the dog, our daughter and a baby in intensive care. We handled it all right, but I look back and realize it was the most stressful time in my life. Luckily, our son proved his doctor wrong and he came home after three weeks. If his hospitalization had gone on for as long as the doctors expected, I don't know how I would have held things together.
That story leads me to Tuesday, when I went to the garage to take some meat out of our upright freezer only to find that someone had left the door open. Water was dripping from the door and every bit of food had turned to a gooey mess.
Everything...everything...was completely thawed. All the beef and chicken we buy in bulk to save money, a big turkey, and lots of fish my husband had caught. Thousands of dollars in food. Gone.
I felt sick. I cried. This was food we bought despite losing our business last year. This mess was discovered just days after finding out that our health insurance at my husband's new job starts the deductible over again on July 1st. The deductible we just met. Oh sorry, the $4000 deductible we just met. Oh, and before that insurance started February 1st, we had just met the deductible on our old insurance. That baby with the heart defect? He's seven now and had his ninth surgery...in January.
In case you're not counting, that's THREE different deductibles we will meet in ONE calendar year. Our premiums are crazy-high too. We will put out over $20,000 in health insurance this year alone.
After realizing the food wasn't salvageable, I did what anyone would do. I called my husband and then I starting venting to everyone who would listen. And, people did listen. Not only that, they did something about it.
Yesterday morning I received an e-mail saying that three great ladies would be at my door on Sunday with food to restock my freezer. A mighty generous statement, especially given that they live roughly 400 miles away.
It turns out that one person said he'd like to help us out then it kind of snowballed and other wonderful people got on board. People started mobilizing, and this time we didn't really have a say. When I tried to stop them I was told, "This train has already left the station."
All I can say is that I will do my best to pay this forward. I promise.
I couldn't turn them down like I did my best friend all those years ago. And, I'm betting that when I look back at this time in my life, I won't think of how stressful it was, but rather how generous people can be.
They didn't do it for recognition. As a matter of fact, they planned on keeping it private. But I was not about to let this go unmentioned. My pride can take a ride in the back seat for this trip.
When I told my neighbor about it, she got goosebumps and said, "Thank you for telling me this. I needed to hear it because there is so much bad in the world."
She's right. But, you know what? There's a lot of good too.
Long-time readers may remember these pictures my son drew of me and my husband. Let's see if he's advanced in the last year, shall we?
This is me. I am happy that he gave me legs that go all the way to my neck, but my square hair-cut isn't very flattering. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mommy Scissorhands.
This is my husband. As you can see by the size of his pecs, he's been working out. The look of shock on his face is probably a reaction to the fact that I cleaned the bathrooms, because with as hairy as he is, those drains can get pretty clogged. Maybe I should give him a trim.
- If you pull a shoulder muscle in your sleep.
- Which leads to your husband buying you a Tempur-Pedic pillow for your birthday and you're actually happy about it.
- If you find a gray hair.
- If you fall asleep on the couch at roughly the same time you went out to keg parties in college.
- When you go shoe shopping and consider how comfortable the high-heels are, versus how high the high-heels are.
- If someone asks, "Is that a tattoo?"
- And you reply, "No, it's a spider vein."
- When you take all of the above and completely own it.
- Because the best thing about getting older is knowing that life is too short to give a damn.
So, what do you think of my new design? Don't answer that if you don't think it's awesome. Because A) It is ALL KINDS of awesome and B) It's my birthday.
If you want something pretty and shiny, go see her. I LOVE her. Even if she did speak a lot of Greek and code and I just sat there and scratched my head and then she totally knew I was scratching my head and just MADE this. Amazing. She is so talented. My only talent is being able to hang a spoon on the end of my nose.
Day before yesterday I laughed at someone for stepping on a dead baby bird. I didn't find the dead bird funny, but rather the picture of grace which is the person slipping on a city sidewalk. I like to watch people fall. I love AFV. It's kind of a sickness.
So guess who came to visit me yesterday? Karma. While working in the yard (okay, not so much working in the yard as spraying Round-Up on clovers that have apparently been sneaking steroids through the gate) I stepped on a dead baby bird.
You would think that was the worst thing I've ever stepped on.
Long ago, on a cruise, after a few too many drinks with mini-umbrellas and a certain ingredient that rhymes with "bum", I left the ship's dance club with friends. I was wearing high-heeled sandals that were killing my feet and decided to walk the carpeted halls barefoot.
As we rounded a corner, my bare foot landed squarely in a pile of someone's fresh vomit.
It may have been 12 years ago, but I am still telling myself that it was just a spilled strawberry shake.
My son was sitting on my Mom's lap eating some cherries when she said, "It's good that you like cherries because they're very good for you. If you have bad stuff in your body, they help get that bad stuff out."
My son replied, "You mean, like if I swallowed a gun and then ate a cherry, it would help me poop it out?"
I would say he kind of gets the concept. Kind of.

Rise and Shine Album Release
DW	on 19 March, 2009
Busy times at Funk Towers. I've been remixing, remastering and in some cases finishing the songs which came out of the pilot series (five weeks) of the Rise and Shine songwriting show (more here about the show).
The official release is 11:44am GMT March 20th 2009, which is the exact time of the Spring Equinox.
It's been a labour of love as well as hard work. Mostly I'm happy after a break to go back to song recordings, and bring them blinking into the light with the aid of cleverness, but in some cases – especially when you're mixing three per day – it's a pain. You have to regularly rest your ears, or the mixes sound bad, it's simple as that.
Funnily enough, the song I most enjoy after all the extra production attention is one which I found difficult to write at the time (wasn't feeling too well) – Money to Burn, which lambasts our culture of insanely excessive wealth and specifically the Forbes rich list.
The reason I found this song hard to go back to was that it's a an angry protest song, and while I get the point of such songs, full shout mode isn't a place I like to inhabit. But, like plenty of people, I love loud, aggressive songs in the right place and time. Rage is a part of the human experience, as is outrage.
Money to Burn is well written, the performances are good, I like the intro by @Langley and it was actually great fun to remix. It's very much in the style of Beastie Boys hip hop, with trashy guitars, nice beats and samples, and megaphone vocals ripping the piss out of super-rich snobbery.
Now of course with taxpayers money being donated by the truckload to busted bankers, it's become fashionable to poke the rich with a sharp stick. Back in March 2008, most people still hadn't quite cottoned on to the appalling state of capitalism.
Money to Burn by The Daily Song
All the songs will be up and ready for tomorrow's official launch, and we'll have a party in London in April to coincide with the physical release of the album.* I'm also looking forward to hearing some remixes – Lagowski is on the case.

Remixes, great idea – how about making a song or two available for anyone who fancies a go, maybe even a competition where the best one is a bonus track a la Imogen Heap ? http://twurl.nl/2788vc

It is thus planned. We will also release cc-licensed material for remixers.

Great stuff! 🙂 Money to Burn is my fave too! 😉

(6/17/2003): To be solicited in PREVIEWS vol 13, #10.
(12/11/2003): Delayed until 18 February 2004.
Super-Iron-Man sketch by George Perez.
Avengers / JLA #4 CGC 9.8 signed by both Stan Lee and George Perez. Also George Perez did an original sketch on the back of the Man of Steel / Iron Man.
Also please note there are some scratches on the case shown in the close up picture of Stan Lee's signature.
Brainstorm: ... the cover of JLA/Avengers #4. I wonder if this indicates that it'll be the Hulk (again) who takes down Onslaught but with a few "artifacts" to help out. Lol , that if the cover is reliable (not always the case these days!). Thanks for posting!
Inspired by the Superman cover to JLA/Avengers #3, I just had to try my hand at this awesome George Perez image. This auction is for my own original art, black and white on 8.5 X 11 sketch paper and a color laser print of the colored image, 8.5 X 11.
Winning bidder pays actual shipping costs. Payment must be recieved within ten days of auction close.
George Perez, illustrator of the long-awaited JLA/Avengers.
It was the series George Perez had been waiting 20 years to draw.
All the legends would be there: Superman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Batman, Hulk. Oh, and about 200 others.
JLA/Avengers (JLA is the Justice League Of America for those not in the know) brought together the greatest superhero teams from both DC Comics and Marvel Comics in one epic tale, written by Kurt Busiek and pencilled and inked by Perez, who called it: "one of the most thrilling and greatest challenges of my career."
"It was a fanboy dream to draw all those characters from two different companies meeting together, with, of course, the added pressure of 20 years of anticipation," said Perez, also a special guest at this weekend's Canadian National Expo.
This inter-company crossover series was originally conceived in late 1982, but fell apart just months after it began due to squabbling – in spite of the fact Perez had already drawn 21 pages.
When the plug was pulled it was thought this idea was dead. But the series finally became a reality late last year and it lived up to the expectations of many – including its artist.
"After everyone waiting for 20 years, including me, I couldn't let that be less than my all-out effort," Perez said.
The series has recently been collected in the Cadillac of hardcover editions, featuring a slipcase containing an oversized hardcover of the complete four-issue series and a fascinating companion volume that outlines its history, complete with annotated copies of Perez's original 21 pages.
The collection is outstanding and very much befitting the scale of the project.
"I expected that maybe they would give it a hardcover collection, but to do it with this type of production value was really flattering," Perez said. "It galvanized my feeling that both Marvel and DC have been trying very hard to make this project something that I can be proud of."
Having recently celebrated his 50th birthday and completed one of the great showpieces of his career, Perez says he's in a great place in his life.
"I'm doing exactly what I love to do more than anything else," he said. "At the age of 50 I'm looking at the road ahead that has … so many avenues waiting for me."
08/14/2004: "2004 WIZARD FAN AWARDS WINNERS"
The 2004 Wizard Fan awards were announced last night at a somewhat more subdued ceremony than usual. Wizard staffers Mike Cotton and Richard Ho emcee'd the affair, and presenters included Joe Quesada, Jeph Loeb, John Cassaday, Alex Ross, Jim Lee and Kevin Smith. The Loeb/Lee BATMAN continued to dominate the awards, winning for artist, inker, letterer, colorist and ongoing.
I WIELD THEIR ENERGIES NOT as pointed out by Visionary AVENGERS/JLA #4, page 2, panel 2.
Should be read as "I wield their energies now".
NOTHINGESS as pointed out by Torsten B. Abel AVENGERS/JLA #4, page 2, panel 7.
Should be read as "Nothingness"
ST ROCHE as pointed out by Torsten B. Abel JLA/AVENGERS #1, page 36, panel 11.
Should be "St. Roch", which is Hawkman's base of operation in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Estimated sales of the top comic titles to comic stores by Diamond Comic Distributors were up in March, with 14 of the top 25 titles showing increases in sales over the previous issues. DC had a stronger month than usual, with 10 out of the top 25 titles, led by Superman/Batman #8 (which has now gone through two sold-out printings) at #1, and the Superman family of books, which is riding the red-hot Godfall story arc. Both Superman/Batman and the entire Superman family were up over sales on previous issues.
The final Avengers/JLA, #4, came in at over 143,000 copies, a little down from sales on #3, but still a very strong finish for this popular cross-over.
April 22, 2004 | A/JLA #4 Similiar Covers?
I mentioned the basics of the following observations on the CBR Message Boards.... I noticed that Perez's cover for AVENGERS/JLA #4 (comics.toonzone.net) is similar to the Perez/Ordway cover for ACTION COMICS ANNUAL # 2 (image.milehighcomics.com) .
Each cover shows an angry Superman, wearing the remains of his costume. His stance on the one cover approaches being a mirror image of his stance on the other cover. (Supes is of course leaning a bit more sideways on the earlier cover, and the position of the knuckles of the lower hand in each picture is different.) Both covers have Superman on an alien terrain, with a starry background. Lightning is emanating from Thor's hammer on the cover of AVENGERS/JLA # 4, and energy is emanating from the weapon on the cover of ACTION COMICS ANNUAL # 2.
I also see similarities between the cover of AVENGERS/JLA #4 and the Curt Swan/George Klein cover of ACTION COMICS # 329 (image.milehighcomics.com).
First things first, I'd wanna congratulate George, Kirk, Tom and co. for their hard work and dedication on the very successful JLA/Avengers mini-series! The 4th and last issue may have been delayed, but it's all worth the wait!
My first impression on the cover was...? Well.... But Man, was it enjoyably AWESOME on the inside! So okay, despite being a Marvel fan, Superman looked good with both Cap's shield and Thor's hammer.
The use of that Chronal instability was a terrific gimmick. An intelligent move on the part of Kurt. It gave George the chance to do what he'd long wanted and to do what only he can do- DRAW WHOEVER AND OR EVERBODY HE WANTED! Eventually making a very spectacular panel to panel battle to the finish! The surprising appearances of various supervillains who've ever fought both JLA and Avengers was great! I really had fun doing the naming game. then guessing what their powers were and who they're pitted against! Damn!
Diamond has released the Top 300 date for March, and more and more, it's starting to look like a bit of a DC comeback story, as Superman/Batman #8 was the #1 book for the month.
While Marvel was #1 in both dollar and unit shares for the month, the margin by which they beat DC was noticeably smaller than their February numbers, where Marvel beat DC by rooughly eight points in dollar share and over thirteen in unit share.
This month, however, Marvel was ahead of DC by a little over one percentage point in dollar share (DC was undoubtly helped by Avengers/JLA #4), and just over five percentage points in unit share.
ComiX-Fan concludes its compilation of annotated references for the mammoth Marvel/DC crossover series JLA/Avengers with the release of the list for issue #4.
Wraparound Cover: Superman wielding Thor's hammer and Captain America's shield.
Page 1: Galactus, a powerful cosmic entity in the Marvel Universe, first appeared in Fantastic Four (1st series) #48. His origin was first revealed in Thor (1st series) #169 and retold in Super-Villain Classics #1. Krona, or Entropy as he later became known in the DC Universe, first appeared in Green Lantern (2nd series) #40. Krona was also instrumental in setting up events for the Crisis on Infinite Earths, which prominently featured the hand surrounding the universe - a homage to how the DC Universe was created, first shown in Green Lantern (2nd series) #40.
Page 2, Panel 1: Metron, one of the New Gods in the DC Universe, first appeared in New Gods (1st series) #1.
As a comics fan, I'm feeling pretty down right now. I've finished reading the Avengers/JLA crossover #1-4 in one sitting, and while it was one of the best comics stories I've ever read (and I've read a few), I can't help but feel depressed. Why? Well, because it's over. This tale has been on readers' minds for twenty years, when George Perez was tapped to draw it for the first time. Then Marvel Editor-In-Chief Jim Shooter shut down the project, when Perez had already drawn 22 pages. Finally, we've seen the most demanded team-up tale ever come to reality. Was it worth the wait? I have to say, yes!
It seemed like the most natural idea in gaming history: Combine the Avengers and the JLA -- two of the most popular superhero franchises -- into one ultimate game. Unfortunately, as seems to happen with most "Big Event" games, expectations far outpaced execution.
Things got off to a promising start. Busiek and Perez, two of the most popular superhero developers in the biz, were hired to bring Avengers/JLA to consoles everywhere. Early screenshots and demos looked promising. And after a period of relatively few crossovers, the industry seemed due for a good universe-meets-universe team-up.
Art-wise, the mad mix of timelines allows for the appearance of fan-favorite versions of each character. Not only do GL and Atom go through some major changes in split-second sequence, but we get to see nearly every costume Wasp has ever worn (most of them already old Perez designs). While Busiek excels at scripting both Wonder Woman and She-Hulk, Perez just doesn't have the hang of Jen. She's about as feminine as wrestler Chynna, which is a very unsubtle way of looking at Banner's fun-loving relative.
Well, it's not a bad ending. It's the kind of good solid ending that you'd expect to a major event superhero story, and that's really my problem with it. This whole series has been very conventional in tone, and even though that's sort of the point with something like this, I can't help feeling disappointed. Don't get me wrong, this comic is very well put together. George Pérez produces better work than he ever did in his recent Avengers run, and if nothing else, I can reread this multiple times just to look at the gorgeous art. Although my main criticism of the series is its conventional nature, it's very significant that Pérez 's orthodox superhero style here outshines the back-to-the-Image-days style that Marvel and DC are making big hoo-hahs about elsewhere. No offence, Messrs Turner, Lee and Silvestri, but you can't touch Pérez, even if he really can't draw She-Hulk to save his life.
It's finally here! The big one, or should I say the last one. Either way, we now have the wrap up of possibly the most anticipated company crossover ever. For months I've seen so much griping from some fans of both companies about it not living up to expectations and the Marvel fans in particular seem to feel slighted as they felt DC's heroes were receiving better treatment. Unfortunately, that's what we seem to get in this growing online world. The complaints get the attention, but the praise seems lost. Personally, I enjoyed every minute of it. Kurt Busiek and George Perez really deliver the goods with this mini-series. We got the big cosmic danger, the fight between teams, the merging of teams and finally an all out war between heroes and villain to save two universes. With everything all said and done, you really couldn't ask for more.
Aww shucks ..sure here you go..
You guys better vote for me !!
> Could we get a hi-res version of the full cover art (front and back) of issue 4, like we got for the previous issues? Just for the sake of completness.
The long-awaited conclusion to the longest-awaited Marvel/DC crossover is here. Cutting to the chase: it's worth the wait. And it also features what is probably the coolest DC/Marvel cover since Superman and Spider-Man first met all those years ago. Or is this one actually better?
Superman carrying the shield and hammer? Come on! You know it's going to be good.
WARNING: This is a choppy review and it contains spoilers.
Where do I start? In my opinion, the past couple months have been a let down. Super-hero comic books have fallen short, and not a single one really has stepped up save for maybe Superman/Batman. Thank God for Avengers/JLA #4. Even with a two month hiatus, this concluding issue has blown every other comic out of the water.
I would be mightily surprised to find that Perez hasn't gone completely round the bend drawing all the battles and costumes in this issue.
And if you think I'm going to tell you what's up with Superman and that shield and hammer he's holding on the cover... dream on! Spoil the best moment of the whole book? Suffice it to say that, yes, what you see on the cover indeed occurs in the book, and the whys and wherefores will be explained when you actually pick it up and read it.
I am getting reports that some stores got preview copies of AVENGERS/JLA #4. I won't post spoilers on the front page, but feel free to post in the forum with SPOILERS in the headers.
Comics Continuum has previews of this issue, similiar to Pop Culture Shock, only with the cover and fifth page.

On the other hand, the book is finally at the printer, so this is the first date DC's been able to give htat was more than a guess. Up 'til now, we've just been estimating when George might be finished, but now that everyone's done, the process is much more certain.
If the guy running the presses gets tendonitis, after all, they'll just have someone else do it -- not an option on the art front.
JLA/AVENGERS #4 - SIGNED BY GEORGE PEREZ AND TOM SMITH!
The pulse-pounding conclusion to the greatest team-up of them all is here! Best of all artists George Perez and Tom Smith are both signing this final issue exclusively for DF!
Each Signed copy is hand-numbered sealed with a DF Holo-Foil Sticker and includes a numbered certificate of authenticity!
Where the heck is JLA/Avengers #4?
George finished the last page this morning.
As soon as lettering and coloring catch up to him (and they're not far behind), we're off to press!
I don't know when it'll hit stores. I would guess it won't be in the next couple of weeks, but since Tom is coloring pages as George finishes them and I've scripted the whole thing from George's layouts (and Comicraft and I are tweaking the script and lettering as we see the finished art), it'll be off to the printer within a couple of days (maybe less) of George laying in that last line. Which is dependent on how fast he can work through his tendonitis.
If George has a hard-and-fast date for that, or if Marvel and DC have a hard-and-fast date for when the book will be on the local shelves, they haven't told me. Which is no sweat by me, since telling me wouldn't make it a guarantee, nor would it make anything happen faster. I'm just making it as good as I can, and it'll be out as swiftly as it can be.
January 31, 2004 | A/JLA #4, "Almost Done"
> People keep commenting that the upcoming final issue of the JLA/Avengers mini-series being delayed again until March 17? Now I haven't heard anything official yet from anybody connected to this project, Tom Brevoort?, Mike Carlin?, Kurt Busiek?, George Perez?, Tom Smith?. If it is delayed again, argghhh, but as long as George gets back to full strength, thats the important thing afterall, it would be good to know whats happening thats all.
Things are moving along very smoothly. We are almost done.
Believe me , Perez detail lovers , it will be well worth the wait !
January 25, 2004 | A/JLA #4 Delayed to March 17?
Fine, as far as I know.
George did layouts for the whole rest of it for me to work from, so we could have it scripted and lettered while he and Tom were doing the ink and color, so I don't know for sure how many pages are finished. But I haven't heard of any further problems.
As Kurt said it's moving right along smoothly now and wait until you see who Thor knocks ourt in issue #4 ! best..
BF: Which was the best book (or issue) put out by a different company than yours?
BILL ROSEMANN: Everything written by Brian Michael Bendis was gold...Batman by Jeph Loeb & Jim Lee got everyone excited...Y: The Last Man & The Ultimates kept everyone on their toes...and how fun was JLA/Avengers? Yes, this was a great year to be a comics' fan!
New information on products since Previews was released.
Due to a case of tendonitis suffered by series artist George Pérez, Avengers/JLA #4 (OCT030233, $5.95) has been delayed. Originally set to ship on December 31, it will now ship on February 18.
The climactic fourth issue of AVENGERS/JLA has been rescheduled for an in-store date of February 18.
"What happened is that I worked myself into tendonitis with the cover to issue #3," says artist George Pérez. "No one else is to blame but me: not Marvel, not DC. I've been slowed down a tad, but I'm determined to get this thing done. I just don't want to let anyone down by rushing at the end. I'm grateful to everyone involved for being so patient. And I'd like to point out that despite having two creators who've had their share of physical ailments in the last few years, we've delivered three issues on time!"
AVENGERS/JLA #4 (OCT030233) is available for advance reorder and now is scheduled to arrive in stores on February 18.
johnpif: The only thing that bothers me is that I read somewhere that George had to finish the series before anything could be printed, so the series would not be late, and /or actually EXIST.
George and I suggested that we get the whole thing done before it got scheduled. DC and Marvel settled on having most of it done, to the point that they'd be assured #4 would be done in time. Nobody was expecting tendonitis.
But no, it wasn't all done.
I think that George may have wanted to re-do some scenes, or make the book even more formidable.
The book's plenty formidable. George isn't redoing any scenes. I'm having dinner with him Friday, and with luck the pencils will be done by then. I'll take 'em home and script them within the next week or so, and then it'll just be a matter of inks, colors and letters.
No replotting. No redrawing. The scripting can't be done 'til the art is, so we couldn't "rescript" something that isn't actually fully dialogued yet.
Have a little faith in these guys!
You bet -- especially when we tell you that this whole rumor is a complete fabrication with no basis in fact.
The inaugural Wizard World Texas convention is well underway this weekend in Arlington, Texas, and live from the con floor Patrick James and Omar A. Safi have provided ComiX-Fan with a wrap-up of news from the first two days.
Writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez will complete their New Teen Titans original graphic novel from 1987, Games. Pérez originally completed 73 pages of the project before it was put on hold due to the artist's increasingly busy schedule. Now, the OGN will include a new framing sequence set in current continuity that will lead into the flashback tale. Look for the hardcover in late 2004 or early 2005.
On Day 2, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada held his regular Cup O' Joe panel in which he discussed several topics.
JLA/Avengers artist George Pérez announced that issue #4 will be delayed due to stress injury he incurred from the three weeks he worked on the cover to issue #3. Pérez said that the delay should only be about three weeks, and the issue should be out by mid-January.
Pérez also stressed that JLA/Avengers has no continuity connections to the previous Marvel Comics Versus DC mini-series'.
* JLA/Avengers artist George Perez, who has a hand injury, said that the fourth and final issue won't be out in time to meet its originally solicited Dec. 31 release.
"It'll probably be out two or three weeks after that," Perez said. "Do not blame Marvel or DC or Kurt (Busiek, the writer) or anybody else. Blame me. I am the sole person to blame."
George Perez reunites with Marv Wolfman to complete The New Teen Titans graphic novel Games, begun in 1989.
Perez said that the final graphic novel will be about 160 pages.
Crossgen's "The War" is going to be 3 issues long and it's going to be written by Ron Marz. The first issue is going to be solicted in May of 2004. It's going to resolve many storylines in many of the Crossgen titles.
Perez is jubelent about JLA/Avengers first issue success. He says that he can finally clear out is debts and then some. The selling of the art alone is going to provide his wife with a new car! He also is very glad that this series is totally going to be for the fans.
As of today. 1/4 of issue 4 of JLA/Avengers is pen & inked. It looks like it will meet the Dec 31st release date. Perez is very commited to meeting the deadline so that all of the issues will be released before 2004.
There is talk of about what format the collected edition is going to be. Perez said that DC is talking to put it into an "absolute" HC format (which I will lobby to no end!). They also said that the prior JLA/Avengers art might be printed in the collected edition as well.
Perez needs the cover to issue 3 back because he needs to draw 4 more characters in it! It took 3 weeks for him to draw it. Tom Smith was asking fan at the con to find him color references for some of the characters!
I did get one nugget of exclusive info. Hawkeye and Black Canary will meet in issue 3.
That's all I can think of right now. I'll see how much will get back to me later on in the week.
Marvel Comics is both proud and encouraged to announce that unprecedented demand has led to the production of over 200,000 copies of JLA/AVENGERS #1 for shipment to the direct market. The George Pérez-Kurt Busiek created mega-event 20 years in the making - which initially went on sale 9/4 – has exceeded all sales expectations for this co-publishing initiative by Marvel and DC Comics. Thanks to the strong support and show of faith by comic book retailers and readers, JLA/AVENGERS #1 has joined the ranks of a small group of modern classics that have captured the imagination of our fans and continue to propel the business forward.
"I knew JLA/AVENGERS was going to do well," said writer Kurt Busiek, "but to have it do THIS well is just amazing. I'm delighted retailers had so much faith in the project, and I'm delighted readers bought 'em all up and sent the retailers back for more. And the reaction we're getting on the series is terrific - it seems like people thought it was well worth the wait, and I'm very glad to have been a part of it."
The Interest in this special once-in-a-lifetime event is also another strong indicator of a growing overall sales phenomenon that began this past spring.
"Since May, from Wolverine #1 to July's Spectacular Spider-Man #1 to August's 1602 & Supreme Power #1, sales of all our big launches have surpassed our already high expectations," said Marvel Marketing Communications Manager Michael Doran. "And that trend continued into September with JLA/AVENGERS #1 and ULTIMATE SIX #1. We're also seeing very positive growth in our other top titles like Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-Men and New X-Men, and we expect the trend to continue into the fall then straight into the holiday season and into next year. So to the fans and retailers fueling this remarkable run, Marvel would like to say thank you."
"This is great news for everyone in our industry," added Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada, "...from readers and creators to retailers and publishers. And the even better news is projects like JLA/AVENGERS won't be just the occasional random spike we've seen on the sales charts over the last few years. Marvel has been working tirelessly to raise the bar for the industry and today we can finally see the seeds of those labors bearing fruit. It seems like almost every month the sales ceiling on top-selling titles is being raised and with ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR and MARC SILVESTRI's return to the X-MEN upcoming, we're sure to see more of the same. I fully expect that in the near future the 300K mark is just around the corner."
AVENGERS/JLA #2 goes on sale October 22nd from DC Comics. JLA/AVENGERS #3 goes on sale from Marvel on 11/26 and retailers are reminded its Final Order Cut-off (FOC) date is 10/30. The four-issue prestige format limited series concludes in December with AVENGERS/JLA #4, published by DC.
I sent you a scan of the cover. It comes out officially at midnight. Here is the link to the cover.
I guess the Thor/Superman thread was right. I can't wait to the other side.
Check here in The Continuum after midnight for DC Comics' solicitations for December, with more than 100 cover images and DC Direct product photos.
September 1, 2003 | Pérez To Move to New CGE Series?
George Perez will soon be taking a break from Solus to finish up the final issue of JLA/Avengers, and gear up for CrossGen's Mega-Crossover The War. The early buzz is that The War will run for six issues, and give George the chance to work with the entire library of CrossGen characters. Makes perfect sense. After all, when you think of galaxy spanning crossovers, who else comes to mind?
Afterwards, George may be moving onto a new series. But details are still sketchy there.
The times, they are a changin' for the Justice League of America. As DC announced in San Diego, a spin-off title is coming, while rotating creative teams will handle the main title. We caught up with JLA editor Mike Carlin for a roadmap.
Carlin inherited the series as a result of the editorial restructuring that went on at DC earlier this year which saw former JLA editor Dan Raspler fired by the publisher, and Carlin stepping down from VP – Executive Editor to Senior group Editor.
"With a spin-off and double shipping for six months at least, there's going to be a lot of JLA projects out there, which I think is part of what we've been wanting for years on the title – to capitalize on something where clearly, there's room for more. Obviously, if we put out a bunch of stinkers, it's not going to help, but I think that if we can put out five Batman books and four Superman books every month with just the one character in them, why can't we just do two Justice League books a month every now and then.
Comic's ultimate crossover has been 20 years in the making, and with the project debuting in September, the artist details the challenges, the exhilaration and how he almost called it quits.
I've waited my entire life for one day - the day JLA/Avengers became reality.
Sure, for the last two years, I've been drawing the JLA/Avengers match-up pitting the classic superteams from the rival publishers DC and Marvel Comics. And after pushing for 20 years, a handful of false starts, scuttled plans and missteps, I wasn't sure if JLA/Avengers was ever going to see the light of day.
Back in 1983 we came close. I actually drew 21 pages of a JLA/Avengers one-shot, but company policies and editorial wrangling torpedoed the project before I ever put pencil to paper on page 22.
And, of course, there were always rumors. A comic convention ever went by when someone didn't asking me, "When are you going to do JLA/Avengers?" over the years, the project took on mythical proportions with expectations and speculation rising with each passing year. And if it were up to me, I would've done it in a second. But when you're dealing with the two biggest publishers in comics (and some of the biggest egos to boot), nothing's easy.
But today, June 27, 2003, as I finished off the inks (did I mention, I'm penciling and inking the entire series?) on issue #3, I can hardly believe JLA/Avengers is almost complete.
This is my diary from the first time I seriously began talking to Marvel and DC about the updated version of the crossover. Everything from the first phone calls in 1999 to today as I review the colors of the Batman/Captain America fight. If you think you know everything there is to know about the new JLA/Avengers, think again.
Jan 10, 1999 - I've been approached on and off over the years about a JLA/Avengers project. But now that both JLA, with Grant Morrison and Howard Porter, is successful, and Avengers is successful under Kurt Busiek and myself, it looks like we might get a shot at actually doing the series. Kurt and Tom Brevoort believe it's a perfect time. Now that these two books are hot, why don't we start negotiating it? Everyone is a little concern that I won't have time to draw the regular Avengers series and the crossover, so we decide it just take place in both regular series and I'll draw the Avengers half with Howard drawing the JLA half. It's a terrible monster to coordinate, though.
Apr 15, 2000 - Thankfully, Marvel and DC have cased negotiations. No one wants to do this series more than I do, but I don't think Grant really had any enthusiasm to do a crossover book like this. I'd rather draw the entire thing myself. This is my baby and I don't want anyone else breast feeding her.
Aug 5, 2000 - Now that Mark Waid's been tapped to write JLA, there's been talk of working out another crossover with Mark and Kurt co-writing it. But this time, I'll draw the entire series. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Aug 28, 2000 - I finish my last issue of Avengers today. I'd hope to be working on JLA/Avengers by now, but who knows when that will happen.
Sep 3, 2000 - Joe Quesada took over as editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics a few days ago. I am a little disappointed when I called to congratulate him and he tells me that he isn't interested in doing any more crossovers with DC. Joe feels that the novelty of inter-company crossovers has been diluted by the recent glut of such projects. I can't really disagree. Even I wrote one, the Silver Surfer/Superman crossover in 1997! Joe doesn't dash all of my hopes though. According to him there's one crossover he'd do - JLA/Avengers. He also says that the project's mine if he can get it approved. He says he'll keep me informed. I won't hold my breath.
Oct 5, 2000 - I just started doing CrossGen Chronicles and Mark Alessi calls me today to ask if I'd be interested in working for his company full time. I'm seriously considering his offer, but with JLA/Avengers being talked about again, I'm not sure if I want to lock myself down in an exclusive contract with CrossGen even though it's very enticing.
Oct 18, 2000 - Both DC and Marvel have now expressed interest in having me pencil JLA/Avengers, but no one's even started talking about contracts yet. Also Mark [Waid] just signed an exclusive with CrossGen , so Kurt would have to write it solo. I wonder if this is just going to turn into another debacle.
Nov 22, 2000 - I've informed Marvel and DC that if I don't receive a written agreement by Dec 15, I'll sign and exclusive contract with CrossGen and won't be able to work on JLA/Avengers for at least two years.
What happened with the 1983 JLA/Avengers crossover?
In the early 1980s, it looked like nothing could stop a JLA/Avengers crossover- nothing but Marvel and DC Comics.
Following up on a very successful string of crossovers like 1976's Superman vs Spider-Man and 1982's X-Men/New Teen Titans, Marvel and DC agreed to a JLA/Avengers one-shot crossover.
Gerry Conway plotted the story and George Pérez was assigned to pencil it, but before long, problems began to surface that would eventually torpedo the project. Conway's initial plot, which reportedly revolved around time travel and set the JLA/Avengers up in a Contest of Champions-style competition, took almost two years to complete.
By February of 1983, though, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter was finally able to review a plot - he refused it flatly, claiming the story made no sense.
Everyone agreed that a revised plot was needed. Unfortunately, no one told that to Pérez who began drawing the rejected plot.
"It was excruciatingly annoy," says Pérez today, the only person to work on both the original one-shot and the current four-issue crossover shipping in September. "I drew 21 pages before I got the call to stop penciling immediately."
Eventually writer Roy Thomas re-scripted the initial plot but the infighting between Marvel & DC's editorial teams put the project in jeopardy.
Everyone from Pérez to Thomas to Shooter did interviews about the project's continued delays and by May of 1984 both published officially scuttled the one-shot.
Dec 15, 2000 - I finally received the contract for JLA/Avengers and I inform Mark Alessi I will go exclusive with CrossGen as of October 2002.
Jan 17, 2001 - While Kurt, Tom and Dan [Raspler] work on a plot, I work on the first promo art for a joint announcement at March's Orlando Megacon and Wizard #116 in March. I can hardly believe I'm being paid for an actual piece of artwork for JLA/Avengers. This isn't a fan commission - this is the real deal!
Mar 2, 2001 - By the time we all get together in Orlando to announce the project, everyone was already talking about it. I guess a project this big can't be kept under wraps for too long. And since Marvel and DC already announced they'd be co-hosting a panel, most fans and pros have already put two and two together.
It eases my mind a little bit now that everyone knows JLA/Avengers is a go again. Now that DC and Marvel have put their collective reputations on the line, I don't see anything holding this project back anymore.
Mar 24, 2001 - as expected the plot is taking a long time to be approved. I'm already receiving pieces, but I can't get a real feel for the story without everything. I like what I see so far, though.
Apr 6, 2001 - Wizard wants to run the first art from JLA/Avengers, so I'm jumping ahead of my work to push through the pencils and inks on the first two double-page spreads. I can't wait for fans to get a look at this stuff. So far, I haven't drawn any pages of the JLA and Avengers interacting, so we picked out pages of the JLA fighting a major Marvel Villain (Terminus) and the Avengers taking on a major DC villain (Starro).
Apr 8, 2001 - There's so many characters in this series, I'm doing research like crazy. I literally couldn't remember what Terminus looked like today!
Apr 15, 2001 - Marvel and DC have a very different vision of what the coloring on JLA/Avengers should look from mine and Tom Smith's. I feel bad that Tom's caught in the middle.
Apr 20, 2001 - I am growing increasingly annoyed with the coloring on the two spreads we're sending Wizard for their "First Look". When I voice my displeasure to Tom and Dan both decide that Tom Smith and myself are more than welcome to make any grievances public. I guess no one wants to be the person who has to go to their bosses and say, "I'm the one responsible for George Pérez quitting this book."
May 3, 2001 - I just finished page #21 of the first issue. As I wrote "JLA/Avengers issue #1, page #22" on the next art board, I realized this is further than this project has ever gone before. I called Tom Brevoort immediately to celebrate. This is a landmark day!
May 17, 2001 - The plots are slowing down and I don't think it's Kurt's fault. Dan Raspler doesn't want to approve anything until he gets a complete plot. I'm getting annoyed. He seemed to be very indecisive and that's something we can't allow with a project this big.
May 21, 2001 - Since a holdup in plot approval doesn't allow me to continue penciling, I start to ink what I've already penciled for issue #1. I want this project to be "all George Pérez", a complete representation of my art.
Jun 7, 2001 - Now that issue #1 is penciled and I'm halfway through penciling issue #2, DC's business department want to have a firm date when JLA/Avengers will ship, but that's impossible at this point. There's no way this book should have a ship date until we know it can ship. I tell Marvel and DC that I'll walk away from the project if they don't hold to their word when they said, "JLA/Avengers will ship when JLA/Avengers is ready to ship."
Jun 18, 2001 - I work on the first meeting between the JLA and Avengers today, and Thor cracks Superman with his hammer in a scene that's going to be huge! I would expect no less from Kurt!
Jul 10, 2001 - As I'm inking the last pages of issue #1, I learn I'm going to have to go back and redraw Green Lantern's costume. DC recently updated his look and it'll need to be reflected. After speaking with everyone involved, we agree that this will be the last costume change we make. If costumes or characters change from now on, they won't be reflected in the crossover.
Aug 1, 2001 - With the pencils on issue #2 almost complete, I make preparations to take a brief vacation to France with my wife this September. I look forward to taking some time off.
Sep 11, 2001 - As my wife and I prepare to go to the airport we hear the news about the World Trade Center disaster. I can't believe any of this. We cancel our trip.
Jan 5, 2002 - Looking over my bank records, I realized that I'm losing about 30 percent of my income now that I'm only working on JLA/Avengers. I'm very worried about bankruptcy, I've called my art dealer and he's set me up doing some commissions pieces to help out.
Jun 3, 2002 - The plans for my new CrossGen book, Solus, haven't been finalized yet, so I've got a one-month reprieve to work on JLA/Avengers. Plot approval remains slow. I'm at a stand still on issue #3 pencils, and I continue inking #2.
Aug 20, 2002 - I draw the Batman versus Captain America fight today. This one will make the fanboys go crazy!
Oct 1, 2002 - My CrossGen contract has gone back into effect. From now on, I'll only work on JLA/Avengers at night and on weekends. I'm still penciling and inking issue #3. I'm jazzed to be working on Solus with Barbara Kesel, but I wish I had a little more time to devote to JLA/Avengers.
Mar 7, 2003 - I can't ever recall working longer days. I work on JLA/Avengers off the clock constantly. Even when I sti down to watch TV with my wife these, I find myself bring a board and pen with me to finish the inks on issue #3.
Apr 23, 2003 - We're in the home stretch. Although the final plot is still being worked on, I begin penciling the first third of the JLA/Avengers #4. We decide to solicit the project for September - the first issue debuting Sep 3 - and I'm confident we can meet that deadline, but it's still going to be tight. We may have to go to a six-week shipping schedule, but I'm sure each issue will be worth the wait.
Jun 27, 2003 - Now that we're less than three months away from shipping issue #1, I've finally got some breathing room. Although most of my week is taken up working on Solus, the pencils on JLA/Avengers #4 are coming along nicely and the inks on issue #3 are almost done.
Looking back, this has been one of the most enjoyable and creative experiences of my 30-year career. People ask me how I feel and I tell them to get back to me Sep 3, I'll feel a lot better then.
In a notable show of restraint, DC Comics managed to have a major panel Sunday at Comic-Con International in San Diego without mentioning yet another Marvel Comics creator that they'd managed to lure over to DC exclusivity with a better offer (presumably including a fat Warner Brothers check).
And while "JLA/Avengers" #4 is still being penciled by George Pérez, the first issue is already at the printers, and the other issues are at stages in between, but "it's really happening this time," writer Kurt Busiek said.
(Mike) Carlin said that issue #1 of Avengers/JLA is at the printers, while issues #2 and #3 are bring lettered and colored. Issues #3 and #4 are being scripted, and issue #4 is currently being penciled by Perez.
* Kurt Busiek said that JLA/Avengers #1 is at the printers. The second and third issues are being lettered and colored.
Lea Hernandez: So talk to us about JLA/AVENGERS?
Kurt Busiek: What do you want to know?
Lea: Well, it comes out in September, I know this. I did my research. And, erm, tell us something that you've haven't told anybody else, just because we're pals.
Kurt: Well, I haven't told many people much. But let's see. I really have no idea what to say. It's a fun story, we're -- George (Pérez) is working on issue four. It's going to come out in September. It looks fantastic. I don't know. I don't want to tell you. I don't want to tell you any secrets.
Lea: Oh well, that's what I was sort of rooting around for.
Kurt: I know that's what you're rooting around for, but I'm not going to do it.
Lea: Tell me a secret.
Kurt: Because I know, you know, that you're going to tell the public at large.
Lea: Of course, we are!
Kurt: And I'm not going to do it. You've got to buy the comic!
Lea: Well you know, this has been in the offering for years and years, it's almost legendary how long it's taken this to happen. So what made it happened this time, as opposed to all the other time it's been talked, and kicked around.
Kurt: It was me. It was me - I did it!
So Tom contacted DC, this was only a little while when DC tried to contact Marvel, and they put it together. George was the only choice for the artist. And since Mark Waid was writing JLA, at the time, and I was writing AVENGERS, at the time, it made sense that we were going to co-write it together. Except to my eternal joy, to my surprise, Mark had juuust signed an exclusive contract with CrossGen.
Lea: That's a while ago!
Kurt: Well that's when it happened. So I got the deal solo. Lucky me, ha ha and you, eh?
Since it has been asked many times, here is how orders will be handled for JLA/AVENGERS artwork.
With respect to complete issues ... a friend of George's did him a MASSIVE favor when he needed it most, and as a result, George has granted him (and only him) first right of refusal for any ONE complete issue of his choice other than issue #3.
Issue 3 is going to be broken up as George has drawn some of his friends into the issue (no more than one person per page, so there won't be any fights). The rest of the series will be up for grabs.
The pages will be listed for sale on my website ... http://www.theartistschoice.com as soon as possible after the book ships ... orders will be filled on a first come first serve basis.
** NOTE ** I WILL NOT take any orders until the prices are posted publicly and everyone has a chance to see it. So PLEASE, if the prices are not yet up, do not send an order in. Until the prices are posted, any orders that come in beforehand will be discarded. Also, I will NOT accept phone orders ... all orders MUST be placed by email .
The status of cover sales is still under review as George and I have a couple of different ideas what to do with them. As soon as a final decision is made, I will let everyone know.
For those who are thinking does Mr. Perez know how high Spencer has set the prices? The answer is YES ... he is well aware of how high I have set the base prices at. It is our feeling that this is a once in a lifetime job for him and once everyone sees the artwork, it will be worth the price. Especially since this is going to be the last time he draws mainstream super heroes for forceable future.
George has said that even if there is a decision to do a sequel, he will not draw it. When you see how much work he put into the artwork you will understand. Having pushed himself to the limit artistically with this story, NO ONE will ever be able to say he took the easy road.
Payment methods accepted will be the same as always ... Payment will be due in my hands within 10 days of confirmation. Accepted forms of payment are personal & business checks (which must clear the bank before artwork will be shipped), certified checks, cashier's checks, money orders and Western Union. For International Orders, payment methods accepted will be Money Orders in American Funds, Checks drawn from American Banks or Western Union. Postage will be in addition to the cost of the art as usual as well.
I hope this answers as many advance questions as possible. More will be spelled out clearer when the artwork is closer to being available for sale.
Superheroes take center stage at the 4th Annual New York International Sci-Fi & Fantasy Creators Convention, which is being held this weekend at Madison Square Garden. The show features a mix of media and comics guests, including a rare East Coast appearance by Brian Michael Bendis.
The con was cool - with a ton of guests. The convention program featured the new TEEN TITANS by Phil Jiminez and Scott Hanna.
George Perez was a guest at the 4th Annual New York International Sci-Fi & Fantasy Creators Convention in NYC. As he sketched, George revealed the Titans will be appearing in JLA/Avengers. When asked "which incarnation of the team?" he answered "several." George is presently working on the last issue [#4] of the crossover. Looking forward to seeing George draw the Titans characters again!
I too had the pleasure of seeing the man once again in NYC! It was rather strange actually...I was up on Sunday, and was strolling around and I rounded the far corner of the show where the artist booths were and there he was. Sitting there alone and sketching! I was surprised because when he comes down to Baltimore for Marc's show, he is instantly swamped!! Booked up for sketches all weekend in like 5 minutes.
Anyway, I asked if he had time to do more, thinking he wouldn't... but again to my surprise he wasnt backed up at all. I got on the list, and in less than 2 hours was the proud owner of a Hellcat headshot! Crap... I was sweating for a minute there too trying to think of who to get. All of a sudden, I kept drawing a blank...I wanted to get a girl, and one he hasnt drawn 5 million times. I also got my brother a sketch of Batman I will be giving him for his birthday in Oct. so shhhh...dont anyone tell!
As usual, the money went to charity, and he was really busting them out that day. I wish I would have gotten there Saturday, because that was full body sketches day, Sunday was headshots only. George said that ish #1 of JLA/Avengers will be out by the time March's show rolls around (Vu: Release date for JLA/A #1 is set for Sep 4, 2003), and he hopes that everyone will have at least 5 copies for him to sign! He said he's almost done all the art for the last issue (if I heard him right) and he is having a ball finishing it up.
As usual, he was/is the nicest guy in the world to talk to, and if anyone on the list hasnt had a chance to talk with him, I highly recommend going to a comic show near you to meet him in person. It will be well worth the tavel time! If anyone is interested, I'll post the headshot sketches in the files section or something.
Mr. Tom Brevoort (AVENGERS/JLA Co-Editor/Great Guy) announced at the Marvel Universe/Max/Marvel Knight Panel on Friday about AVENGERS/JLA #1 coming out in September 2003.
ACTOR was selling SOLUS #1 Limited Edition Laser Cels (Limited Edition of 500) Unsigned $20.00 and Signed by the entire creative team (SOLUS) $40.00. I bought a unsigned copy.
I met Mr. Geoff Johns (AVENGERS, JSA, TEEN TITANS, HAWKMAN) Another great guy.
I attended Cup O' Joe Q & A Panel. Where I ask a JLA/AVENGERS to Mr. Joe Quesada (Marvel Editor-in-Chief), I still transcribing the response, so look for that later in the week.
I attended the DC: Expanding Our Universe Panel. Where the folks at DC announced that JLA/AVENGERS #2 and 4 would be coming out in October and December of 2003.
I also attended the 1 on 1 panel with Mark Alessi (CROSSGEN) minus Mr. Alessi who couldn't make the con due to last minute commitments. Ron Marz was there along with one of the CROSSGEN heads.
I meet Mrs. Barbara Kesel (SOLUS) at the CROSSGEN Booth (Nice Lady) I got a big hug when I ask her if I could get my picture taken with her.
There were four or five total limited edition posters (CROSSGEN) that were given away during the con through free raffles. These posters featured original art done exclusively for WIZARD WORLD EAST and signed by everyone at CROSSGEN.
May 30, 2003 | JLA/A in September!
Tom Brevoort stated today at WIZARD WORLD EAST that JLA/AVENGERS #1 will be released September 2003, with issues following in Oct, Nov, Dec 2003.
Lets see here. There's a possibility. I don't remember, I will have to check the list again that even the Heroes Reborn version of the AVENGERS will make an appearance, ah, for no other reason than they were on the AVENGERS Banner and they feel duty bound to have/to do every character I desire. I don't want a fan to come in and say you left someone out and then they will say 'Oh My God we forgot because they know they're dead.' (George and crowd laugh).
JLA/Avengers Page Count confirmed on auto tape via JLA/Avengers Panel at the PITTSBURGH COMICON 2003 (April 27, 2003).
Re: Kurt, hey Kurt !
I got word today that the fourth plot is finally and fully approved.
More preview pages from JLA/Avengers will be trickling out, although DC sources did not say as to how. Reportedly, George Perez is on issue #3 of the crossover, while Kurt Busiek is plotting issue #4.
Avengers/JLA update, George was working on page 16 of issue three.
Q: JLA/AVENGERS.How far along is the project?
A: George is working on #3. I'll be plotting #4 soon.
Q: Have you been deluged with "who should beat/meet who" emails from fans?
A: Of course. Many of them will be disappointed, of course, since we got just as many people insisting that Thor should beat Superman decisively as people insisting that Superman should beat Thor decisively. And we got so many lists of who-should-fight-who that even if this book -was- called JLA/AVENGERS: TAG-TEAM FIGHTS, we'd run 12 issues and still wouldn't fit them all in. But this book is about teams, not about solo battles. And for that matter, the two teams -fighting- has never been the main point, only part of the story.
Q: As you have been working on this project, what has been some of the surprises you have encountered?
A: There've been some surprises about how the plot developed, as we discovered nice bits that fit in easily, or moments that made the whole project that much better -- but I can't tell you about them. In terms of the working arrangement, there haven't been surprises -- it's gone more or less the way I'd have expected. Slower, but as expected.

The EGG Brussels held the world's largest support network for European SMEs with international ambitions.
The Egg Conference & Meeting Centre held on 8-9 June the 2015 Launch Conference of the Enterprise Europe Network (link to: een.ec.europa.eu), the world's largest support network for European SMEs with international ambitions.
The two-day event programme included two plenary sessions, 18 workshops, 22 working meetings, a business matchmaking activity where 930 bilateral meetings were held and a networking area with 11 exhibitors.
The Conference brought together over 840 participants from 57 countries including Network partners, representatives from the European Commission, the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) and guest speakers. The event marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Enterprise Europe Network (2015 – 2020). Its aim was to strengthen the links between long-standing and new Network members who together help ambitious SMEs innovate and grow internationally.
"This new beginning for the Enterprise Europe Network is the perfect opportunity to lay the groundwork for the future. The objective this year is to give participants a common vision of the Network's key milestones for the future. Reaching these milestones will mean developing the Network to its full potential, putting in place strong foundations for coordinated network action, and assuring that the quality of the services translates into visible impact on the ground", says José Puigpelat, EASME's Head of Unit A1 (COSME).
The Egg fully encapsulated the Enterprise Europe Network spirit, incorporating a large, versatile event space, a business hub for start-ups and meeting point for innovation centres and universities. The conference programme made full use of the event location.

Fund, coordination, stressed for adaptation plan
News Desk : dhakamirror.com
Climate experts and academics at a discussion on Sunday said that Bangladesh would require collective efforts, fund and skilled manpower to implement the National Adaptation Plan, once finalised, to combat the impacts of climate change.
They also emphasised the need for smart technology, resilient infrastructures to mitigate loss and damage due to the climate change that has already started.
They said this at a workshop on the NAP hosted by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change held in the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital on the day.
Environment minister Md Shahab Uddin was present at the programme as the chief guest.
'NAP has properly identified the problems and gave the best solutions. Now its effectiveness will depend on implementation,' the minister said, seeking cooperation from all development partners. He hoped that NAP would be effective for combating the climate change impacts.
Emeritus professor and NAP formulation project consortium team leader Ainun Nishat stated that the government would require a NAP implementation road map too.
The Centre for Environmental and Geographic Information Services is leading the NAP (2023-50) preparing project since 2019 funded by the United Nations Development Programme.
In the drafted NAP, a total of 113 interventions were recommended including 90 high priority and 23 moderate priority interventions that would need a total of Tk 20,037 billion for 27 years, observed CEGIS executive director Malik Fida A Khan.
'The NAP has been incorporated into the Delta Plan of the government and the SDG of the United Nations,' he said.
There were a number of good plans in Bangladesh to implement, but their implementations were largely ignored, said the speakers at the discussion.
Environment secretary Farhina Ahmed informed the workshop that the government was committed to giving its top priority over climate change issues as it was a challenge for the country. 'Climate eats up a significant success once it is achieved,' she said.
According to the secretary, the NAP will protect about 1.1 million hectares of crop land from flood, tidal, sea level rise and salinity. She added that about 30 million people in the city area would be benefited by the development of drainage management and heat wave, while 10 per cent of transportation costs would be reduced.
According to the environment minister, Bangladesh had already implemented 800 climate change-related projects costing $480 million. He stressed climate resilient infrastructural development.
State minister for environment Habibun Nahar said that people of southern Bangladesh were facing food shortage, potable water crisis and health challenges. 'We have not much time to waste. Take immediate implementation plan,' she said.
Senior secretary to the water resources ministry Kabir Bin Anwar, Economic Relations Division secretary Sharifa Khan, national project director of NAP preparation project Md Mizanul Hoque Chowdhury and UNDP Bangladesh residential representative Stefan Liller, among others, spoke at the programme.

Maybe you don't know, but you can use an old CRT TV as a monitor for the Raspberry Pi.
Find a SCART and some cables for audio and video and you are done.
a cable for the video: it's a cable with the same type of audio/video plug in each end. The standard color is yellow.
a cable for the audio: in this case you must have an end with a 3.5mm stereo audio plug and the other one with 2 audio/video plugs. The standard colors are red and white.
Than you have to connect the cables as you can easily imagine.
The trick does not need any additional work if you use a NTSC TV.
If you are in Europe and you use PAL systems (like me), you must create a config file in the /boot/ path of the Raspberry Pi while it's running and configure the appropriate parameter.

an elaborate flourish or showy solo passage, sometimes improvised, introduced near the end of an aria or a movement of a concerto.
This volume also contains his own cadenza to the Beethoven violin concerto.
The modulation from C sharp minor to D major and back again (after the cadenza) is very striking and equally beautiful.
When the cadenza was reached in the public concert Beethoven quietly sat down.
One of them he made improvise a cadenza, and a second sang the alto to it without accompaniment.
It is significant that he played the cadenza, the most difficult part, best of all.

To initiate the divorce process, you must file a complaint for divorce with the Probate and Family Court for the county in which you and your spouse last lived together if one of you still lives at that residence. Otherwise, if you both no longer live at that last residence, then you may file your complaint for divorce at the probate and family court in the county where either of you live. The court clerk will process the complaint and assign your case to a judge, who will oversee your case for the indefinite future. The court clerk will send you/your attorney the complaint summons, which will have to be "served" to your spouse by either a constable or disinterested party. If you are the defendant in this process and were "served" the complaint and summons, you have 20 days to file an answer and, if you choose, counterclaim for divorce.
Within 45 days of the defendant being served the complaint and summons, the parties are supposed to exchange three years of tax returns, bank and investment accounts, any financial applications, last four paystubs and information regarding health and dental insurance. This is called Supplemental Rule 410 production and usually provides both parties enough information to analyze the finances of the case. If there are complex issues or concerns, then formal "discovery", such as a request for production of documents, interrogatories and depositions can be served to opposing party/counsel to supplement the initial three years of documents.
If there are custody or child related issues, it may be necessary to have a Guardian Ad Litem, or "GAL" appointed by the court to investigate the custody or child related concerns.
Another significant step to note is the completion of the Probate and Family Court Financial Statement form. It is imperative to fill out the form completely and accurately, as the Court will enter a financial order or grant a divorce based on the information provided.
If it is necessary to define responsibilities through court orders, either party may file motions, which are presented to the judge or negotiated between the parties. These Temporary Orders will remain in effect until it is superceded by another agreement between the parties, new court order or judgment of divorce.
Once the case issues have been identified and discovery complete, a Pretrial Conference is requested by one or both of the parties and the court schedules a pretrial conference hearing before the judge assigned to your case. A Pretrial Memorandum must be drafted outlining and detailing the facts of the case, the issues that are contested and uncontested. The pretrial order issued by the judge specifies the information that should be included in the memorandum.
The Pretrial Conference is a hearing held by the Judge, who reviews the pretrial memos of each party and provides insight on how the matter should resolve. A high percentage of cases settle after this hearing. Some cases require time to negotiate terms, per the recommendations of the judge, and draft a divorce agreement, known in Massachusetts as a Separation Agreement. Others decide to proceed to trial and the court will assign trial dates, with specific orders about the requirements for the trial.
If your matter proceeds to trial, the judge will hear testimony of witnesses and review exhibits in order to make a decision regarding the contested issues, such as custody, support, division of assets and debt. It may take the judge a number of months to draft the findings of facts from the trial and judgment of divorce. Until the divorce judgment is issued, all temporary orders that may have been in effect continue until replaced by the divorce judgment.
Once you receive your divorce judgment, there may have been errors of law that justify an appellate review of the trial judge's decision. If there are appealable issues, you may appeal the divorce judgment to a higher court. However, this must be done with caution and understanding that there are specific time constraints and appeal quality documents that must be prepared submitted with precision.

The pioneering modern Irish chef Gerry Galvin created this unusual recipe. He suggests serving it with a mixed green salad enhanced with watercress, sorrel and thinly sliced apple.
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Dust the pike fillets lightly on both sides with flour, season with salt and pepper, then sear them lightly for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove from the pan and transfer to a lightly oiled glass or ceramic baking dish.
Stir the garlic into the lemon juice in a small bowl, then drizzle it over the fish. Roast the fish in the oven for about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, warm the lamb juices or reduced stock in a small saucepan, and then stir in lovage leaves and balsamic vinegar. Keep warm.
To serve, divide the fish between 4 plates, sprinkle the servings equally with chopped bacon, and serve with the sauce on the side. Serves 4.
This Gregory Graham wine is unbelievable – a great price and incredibly drinkable! Gregory Graham is best known as the former winemaker for Rombauer (of the famous Chardonnay) where he worked for 21 years. He began making wine under his own label in 1992 and constructed a winery in 2006.
The Grenache varietal of grapes is little used in California but prevalent in France, and one of the most widely planted red wine grape varieties in the world. It ripens late so it needs hot, dry conditions like those found in the south of France and California. Grenache is normally used as a blending grape, especially in Chateauneuf-du-Pape where it's typically 80 percent of the wine blend; however, Graham took this varietal and used his California style to make a beautiful wine out of 100 percent Grenache.
The grapes for Graham's Grenache come from his Crimson Hill Vineyard in the Red Hills area of Lake County. The crimson red volcanic soil, along with the long growing season, provides the perfect site for growing great red wines. Graham picks his grapes at the peak of "fruit flavor," which you will taste in this amazing Grenache. The 2008 Gregory Graham Grenache is full bodied and fruit forward – a fresh style of wine that's very versatile and pairs well with any type of meal, and smooth enough to drink on its own. This is the type of red wine that even non-red wine drinkers will enjoy!


Unless the FBI rank and file begin contacting Congress (Probably the Senate since blind voters gave the House to the Dems) and blowing the whistle on what is apparent FBI leadership corruption and coverups to protect Dems & Obamanites, I will begin to consider the rank and file to be just as corrupt.
AND YES, fired/resigned former AG Jeff Sessions is part of this problem for failing in DOJ transparency of which the FBI is supposed to answer. So when hear Dems, many Republicans and definitely the Mainstream Media (including Fox News) tell you Sessions you a raw deal; those people are liars or idiots for being deceived.
Judicial Watch smells yet another FBI coverup to protect Dems. In this case Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz in relation to (Pakistani) Awan family members acting as IT specialists working for the Dems: Abid, Imran, Jamal and Hina R. Alvi.

Whiskey Blu Could Be Your New Place For Cheap Booze In Hollywood Now That Power House Is Closed
By Juliet Bennett Rylah
Published Jun 29, 2014 11:00 PM
With heavy hearts, we recently reported that the iconic Hollywood dive The Power House was about to pour its last $3 PBR. And while that's still tragic, we received a tip on that particular story that led us to a $2 PBR just down the street.
Yes, there's a new Hollywood bar called Whiskey Blu that has this totally-not-a-mirage sign out front that promises: $2 PBR, Budweiser, Coors Light and $5 Makers Mark, Bulleit, Crown, Honey Jack, Jim Bean, Johnnie Walker Red and Dickel whiskey shots. This sign is present even on weekend nights.
Several of the Power House regular had migrated to Whiskey Blu the day I went, and I was told that they'd taken on two of the bartenders. It's no dive by appearance, but the jeans and T-shirt drinkers were just as comfortable as the couple in cocktail attire having a beer before a later gala event.
Tucked away off Las Palmas where Las Palmas Furniture Warehouse used to be, Whiskey Blu is a surprisingly large space. A main bar has plenty of seating, some of it oddly regal, like the egg-shaped chairs that flank the Burt Reynolds Playgirl centerfold. A curtain separates the bar from a venue where there's live music every weekend, and other events like live band karaoke and blues staggered throughout the week. Every Sunday, they host a BBQ with a build-your-own Bloody Mary bar.
There are patios in both the front and back of the space for smokers (and now vapers), and the back patio has a small bar and comfy circular booths.
As a caveat: Other types of drinks than those mentioned on the sign are priced on par with the neighborhood. However, for the working class Hollywood local who just wants a cheap, cold can of Pabst after work, this spot is ideal. Plus, as the bar evolves they're planning more events and food. Follow them on Facebook to keep up.
Whiskey Blu, 1714 N. Las Palmas. 21+, No Cover (except for special events). Mon-Fri, 6 p.m. - 2 a.m., Sat. and Sun., 2 p.m. - 2 a.m.
Editor's Note: We had originally reported that the event Hollywood Hoedown hosted by Danny McBride would be hosted at Whiskey Blu on Saturdays. It's been moved to Dragonfly.


Computerworld is predicting that the end of the line for SSDs will be the year 2024.
That's based on the projected year MLC flash memory becomes impractical to continue producing. There's one problem with that assumption: it assumes SSDs will still be based on flash memory in 2024.
Computerworld published a scare piece on rogue IT people.
Linuxplanet countered with a piece that was about equal parts substance and hand-waving. I found myself mostly agreeing with the Linuxplanet piece, but was disappointed it didn't go deeper into the counter-arguments.

"Come and help re-establish native plant species and improve Lithgow's unique landscape," said Lithgow Mayor, Councillor Ray Thompson.
Council continues to improve the city's landscape for all residents and visitors as part of the Farmers Creek Master Plan. The Master Plan will improve biodiversity along the creek through bank restoration and re-vegetation along with the installation of shared paths and bridges along Farmers Creek.
"The Albert Street planting day is being held during school holidays so kids, along with their parents, can be involved in a productive and fun community event. No experience is necessary and a sausage sizzle will be provided," continued Mayor, Ray Thompson.
Participants are requested to wear sturdy shoes, gloves, hat and weather appropriate clothes.
"Come and enhance the health of our environment by assisting in this family friendly, volunteer and fun activity," stated Councillor Thompson.
Please RSVP for catering and so you can be notified if the event is postponed due to unsuitable weather. Contact Richard Stephens - Landcare Coordinator on 6354 9999 or %154%172%210%203%211%192%104.

Q: Python Selenium - How to pass UnexpectedAlertPresentException Im trying to automate a web-game with python using selenium webdriver. There you have some missions and you have to send specific vehicles to a mission. You've a button where you can click on to choose a vehicle. If a vehicle is'nt available, a alert will present.
And that's the problem. I get an UnexpectedAlertPresentException and I tried to pass it like this:
try:
   acc_veh_btn = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@class='tab-
   content']/div[{}]/div[1]/div[*]/a[@title='{}']".format(tab_index, acc_veh_name.strip())).click()
   sleep(0.1)
except UnexpectedAlertPresentException:
   alert = driver.switch_to_alert()
   alert.accept()
   veh_ava = False
   pass
else:
   pass

I don't know if this is the right way to handle this... anyway I get an UnexpectedAlertPresentException

A: Answer is... simple. The alert took to long to appear so the alert came when the program wasnt in the try/except. Also the switch to the alert wasnt needed. It close everythings on his own
