   Dude, don’t tease with headlines like “Morrissey joins Boom,” I nearly fainted thinking about a comic book version of “Girlfriend in a Coma”.

   Cute redaction. Is Mark Waid writing the press releases now, adding unusual plot twists?

   What Evie said.

   Still, congratulations Paul Morrissey (and Boom)

   I wear my Smiths t-shirt to work about once a week and have an upcoming Zombie Tales story that was, until the last second, called “Girlfriend in a Coma.” Does that make it up to you, Evie?

   What Evie said, too.

   And you know what? I might actually by a comic book written by Morrissey.

   Perhaps it’s something you could consider Mr. Brill.

   Ian: I can totally dig that! The only other disappointment is that I write for Billboard (on both the comics and Morrissey beats this year, such as they are), so I would have been *all over* that.

   As for an actual comic book written by Morrissey, I think it might not actually be that good–unless he could read it to me aloud.

   Way to go, Paul!

   Looks like you landed on your feet and then some, chief!

   I should probably say, I don’t at all mean to ignore congratulations for Paul Morrissey, it is much better news for comics fans that he is the one now working with Boom–I just get a little one-track-minded when the other Morrissey comes up :).

   I am far more curious about the titles he is working on. They will be revealed at SDCC, no doubt, but has anyone heard rumors to what they may be?

    The properties are “pretty much loved by everyone on the planet” can only mean one thing- The A Team!

    Actually, maybe Boom also got the rights to do a comic series based on The Phantom- every comics publisher will now be FORCED to do one.

    I was thinking “Phantom” too. Seems alot of people working for a company that doesn’t have much out there. I wonder if they’re buying the Charlton characters DC’s killing off…

    What’s all this talk about the Phantom? I thought Moonstone was licensed to do those books?

   [...] July 15th, 2008Author JK Parkin BOOM! Studios sent out another press release this afternoon — counting the “redacted” one they sent to Heidi, I think that makes four from them in two days, so they’ve been busy — about a new book called Remnant by actor Stephen Baldwin, Andrew Crosby, Caleb Monroe and artist Julian Totino Tedesco.
