Bleeding Cool first broke the story that DC Comics applied for trademark on a couple new logos. They’ve since followed up with an image of what that logo could be. (The other logo is the same as below, but the text below reads “DC ENTERTAINMENT” with the same line breaks.)
As someone who stares at logos all day – both in terms of food art or outright designing new ones – I’m brimming with opinion. Continue reading
Part Two of this week’s look at new comics (Click here for Part 1):
Uncanny X-Men #3 ($3.99; Kieron Gillen [W] & Rodney Buchemi, Paco Diaz, Carlos Pacheco [A]) – What a boring debut for the new Uncanny X-Men. The last three issues have seen Mr. Sinister (apparently back from the grave with no mention of surprise… I must have missed something) come back to populate the world with copies of himself.

Amazing Spider-Man #677 ($3.99; Mark Waid [W] & Emma Rios [A]) – Mark Waid fills in for Dan Slott this month in this two-part crossover with Daredevil.

The bizarre cliffhanger has successfully sold the upcoming Daredevil #8, on sale January 18th. But it’s the editor’s note in the letter column that reels me in: “…the Amazing Spider-Man of one year form now will be REMARKABLY different from the one you hold in your hands today.” Continue reading
