.jpg) DC released some designs from Jim Lee and Kevin Maguire for Earth 2. I must say I really like the Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman designs. The Supergirl design does not look that different, and the Robin one offers the most striking difference being female. I cannot wait for this book!
Conceptual artist Ralph McQuarrie, who served as the main designer on the original Star Wars trilogy, has passed away at the age of 82. Thanks for all of your brilliant work in science fiction, Ralph. May the Force be with you.
Once upon a time Dark Horse had a comic called Ghost. Fans of the book really loved it upon its release, however, most of this was probably because Adam Hughes was providing the art on the book. Sadly, Hughes was not able to maintain a monthly schedule and the book had subsequent artists that never really caught the luscious style of Hughes’ work. Well Dark Horse is reviving the character with writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Phil Noto. Noto might not have the same kind of style as Hughes, but Noto’s art is gorgeous and I am very excited to try this character again. Look for the Ghost serial to appear in Dark Horse Presents #13 in June!
Actress Juliet Landau, who played Drusilla in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, will be writing a five-issue spin off comic starring Drusilla and taking place after the character’s appearance in Angel & Faith #9. Landau has previously written two issues of Angel: After The Fall at IDW in which Drusilla also appeared. The art on the mini-series will be by Cliff Richards and Tim Seeley.
