I know I promised that I would never write about Spider-Woman's butt again, but the topic has proven incredibly durable. The Telegraph was only the latest mainstream entity to look at the overall semiotics of it, and referred to many experiments in the captivating pose imagined by Italian erotic master Milo Manara. For instance, this Reddit user rendered the pose in 3D and the result was a hideously deformed freak that will haunt all our nightmares. "Crouching like a Jaguar" indeed.

Veteran showbiz writer Drew McWeeny rocked the world of superhero movies this week with his claim that he's heard many times that humor is superhero films is being given the side eye at Warner Bros. :

The dynamic duo of Jeff Lemire and Matt Kindt seems to have set up shop for some of their non-creator owned work at Valiant Comics, and new they're joined by Paolo Rivera for The Valiant, a new four issue prestige mini-series. An they've got Franceso Francavilla doing variant covers as well—along with Kindt and Lemire—so it's a nice art-a-palooza.

The column is already running late, so I won't belabor too many points here… July 2014 was a record-setting month in many categories for the Diamond NA-served comics market (see John Jackson Miller's analysis for the full skinny). DC shipped a whopping 83 comics this month (up from 68 in June). As expected, the Batman 75th Anniversary covers don't do as well as the Bombshell covers did last month. Whether this is because retailers (as a group) order-ordered on the Bombshell covers and were correcting, or because there was a perceived lesser demand for the Batman covers it is hard to tell; I suspect a combination of factors. It may be several months before things settle down in the new way of ordering variants.
