The All About Comics Thread 4: Gemini Loves Crappy Variant Covers

Really? Because I think that the idea of a Mainstream, major publisher book where the main character not only acknowledges but revels in how completely insane and ludicrous everything is is absolutely hilarious.

And he knows he's a comic book character.

Its comedy gold man.

Why is everything insane and ludicrous?

Let me rephrase. Everything insane and ludicrous about mainstream big two comics. He's a living commentary on everything they do wrong.

I say this having not read any of the current Deadpool material.

Later this year, Dynamite Entertainment hopes to catch lightning in a bottle by teaming-up two of mainstream comics' most accomplished writers for an original cross-genre epic, as the publisher announced exclusively through CBR that Bill Willingham and a soon to be named co-writer will launch a new as-yet-unamed project through the publisher.

"The fact that they're both excited about working together excites me," Dynamite's Nick Barrucci told CBR. "That tells me they have passion. Passion is something you need to make a comic. It tells me they want to be collaborative. It brings something to the table. I'm willing to 'roll the dice' just based on the fact that I have faith in these guys."

Willingham echoed the sentiment, noting that although all the pieces haven't fallen into place to give too many details on the project, he's prepared to devote his time to what can often be the difficult task of teaming with a partner. "Whoever said this first was exactly on the money: collaboration is like doing twice the work for half the money," Willingham remarked. "And that's absolutely true. It is not easier to share the workload of a written story amongst people. It's more difficult. So the real reward comes in answering, 'Do you really want to work with this person?' Do you find a compelling talent there that pulls you into where you have to be part of creating something with them? [My co-writer] is that kind of person."

That has got to be the least newsy bit of news I've ever heard in comics.

Bill Willingham is going to be working on an unevealed project with an unnamed collaborator which is currently untilted and has no set release date.

Oh boy!
