Yes, the *total* number of comics sold in a month still sounds impressive, but what about the individual books?  It's time to check in...

Some recent showbiz news that our usual correspondents haven't been able to keep up with: the Sandman movie is looking for a star and director again; Scalped is in development for TV and Powerless is going to be very strange.

The entire industry is anxiously awaiting the unveiling of what's behind the Rebirth curtain, and the big reveal is set for Saturday, March 26 at 9am PDT at a press conference during WonderCon that will be open to press and fans with valid WonderCon badges.

All we've seen of Rebirth is a big blue curtain, and there's a lot of anxiety about what's behind the curtain. You may recall the game show Let's Make a Deal where contestants had to pick the prize behind one of three curtains. Will Rebirth be a new car or a box of macaroni and cheese?

In his video introducing DC's Rebirth publishing plan, Geoff Johns calls it a "third rebirth" for DC. At first I thought this referred to the original DC, Silver age Flash and...something else? But he was actually referring to reimagining Green Lantern and the Flash characters with better, more motivated origins.

Or as he put it, in the video's most quoted line, "It's not just an event, it's a mission for us."

Earlier today, The Comics Beat reported that Tom King was one of three writers to sign an exclusive contract with DC Comics to "produce...
