WHO will be the Netflix/Spotify of comics? Several companies have been trying to offer all you can eat comcis buffets, but a lack of top content has been holding them back. But Scribd just made a major play announcing a $8.99 a month plan that allows you access to 10,000 comics, including top titles from Marvel, IDW/Top Shelf, Archie, Dynamite and Valiant. Scribd has been around for a while as en embeddable pdf reader, and already offers over a million ebooks and audiobooks on a subscription basis, so this makes a lot of sense.

About six months ago, I took a victory lap. And I'm gonna take another one. Because I was right, all along. Last's week's twin announcements of the revamped DC line-up and Marvel's all-woman A-Force showed that even the big two have embraced the idea of a diverse readership as a sound business model.

Meanwhile, Rell would just like to get rid of her halo so people don't project their angel fantasies on her—and her new job searching space for the huge floating body of the dead god Det'houna isn't helping.

When I first got this email, I read it as "Ended their relationship, and I was like WHA--???!?!? But no no, the correct title is "IDW And Hasbro Celebrate 10 Years By Extending Their Relationship " which makes a ton of sense. Books like Transformers, GI Joe and My Little Pony have become mainstays for IDW and often damn good comics, like the epic TRANSFORMERS VS GI JOE that Tom Scioli and John Barber turned into a critical hit.

Every so often comics get away from their high soaring superhero mythos to tell stories that kick you to the ground and shove your face in the mud. Big Man Plans is one of those books. It’s an unrelenting dropkick to the groin that puts a mirror to those a**hole parts of humanity we wish didn’t exist, and it does so in the best way possible.
