Did Magcloud Just Kill Itself?
Jean Snow just posted on Twitter that magazine-print-on-demand service Magcloud just released an iPad app, for viewing of digitised versions of the magazines people make and sell through that service. At the link, Magcloud explain that the app is free and (currently?) so are all Magcloud magazines obtained through the app. Presumably, once uptake of the app reaches a certain point, they'll build in in-app purchase of digitised magazines, as well as a way to buy the physical POD editions.

God Loves Batman
Okay, this is a complete repost of something Kelly Sue DeConnick posted on her site earlier in the day. I would just send you there, but Neil and Wil just did that and it fried her server. So I'm just copypasting on the fly. Everything below is written by Kelly Sue. Here we go:

Okay, so, Fred Phelps and his family of hateful bigots are getting a lot of press for their planned appearance at (or near?) the San Diego Comic Con. The man lives for attention and confrontation. If you see him t...

Well Secluded, I See All
Off the plane, hidden away for a few days to do Business Stuff and get some work done. I have outdoor space, cigarettes, wifi and iced coffee, and all is well.

On The Road, My Little Badgers Of Delight
On the road in, fuck, about seven hours. Will be posting little bits here and there as time and signal allow. See you on the other side, folks.
JACK CROSS To Be Collected
Christ, what is going on over at DC today?
JACK CROSS was a disappointment, a project that went wrong fast and seemed to be outside my reach to fix. Gary did a yeoman job on these four issues, but there'll never be any more.
And then this turned up on the DC blog:
DC COMICS PRESENTS: JACK CROSS #1 Written by WARREN ELLIS Art and cover by GARY ERSKINE Now, terror has something to fear – and his name is Jack Cross! This massive special features JACK CROSS #1-4, a never-collected volume...
SHOOT To Finally Be Published
Years ago, I wrote a brief run on the DC Vertigo horror comic JOHN CONSTANTINE: HELLBLAZER. Brief, because I wrote a horror story therein called SHOOT. SHOOT was about schoolyard slayings in the United States. It was completed before Columbine happened, but scheduled to appear not long after. The regime at DC Comics at the time decided that it could not be released in its completed form. I refused to go along with the changes they wanted to make. They decided not to publish the book at all...
Chip Zdarsky Is Wrong, Part 735242
So wrong.
Oil painting I did for a Law & Order art show, running July 24-30 in Los Angeles!
My episode description was "The Wife of a Once-Popular Singer (Gary Busey) is Found Dead."
I like painting Gary Busey.

500 Million Friends And One Of Mine
The ads for THE SOCIAL NETWORK, the Aaron Sorkin-written film about Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, have been clever so far. This one, however, really caught my attention.
Mostly because the very first image is of my friend Sarah Sharp, whom some of you may also remember as Trixie Bedlam.
That kind of freaked us all out, yes.
