Vertigo has been approached about the notion of taking over the series and has declined to do so. The reason given is that ostensibly it explores territory too familiar to other Vertigo books. I leave it to others to opine on that.

In any event, if the series is going to continue, it’s going to be as a straight up DCU title that remains outside the DCU (so that mainstream superhero fans can ignore it) and without a Vertigo label (so that Vertigo fans can ignore it.) Frankly, if anyone has some marketing ideas (that will, naturally, cost DC virtually nothing to undertake) I’m more than happy to hear them.

*yes, that means our blogs will be appearing in his sidebar soon enough. One great big incestuous linkfest, we are.

As Tom Ridge announces yet another terrorist alert for New York and LA, the money phrase in the statement is here:

“The threat potential remains through the Nov. 2 elections, Ridge said.”

What were the odds, I ask you?

Is it possible that there may be another terrorist attack? Sure. That’s pretty much the case in any country these days. I’m just wondering if other governments are working on keeping its citizenry as perpetually jumpy as this one is…and coinciding, by staggering coincidence, with Kerry’s bump from the DNC. I can’t help but wonder which concerns Bush more: Car bombs or Kerry’s slight increase in numbers.

I notice no one refuting Michael Moore’s claim that the terrorism alert status will never go down to green. Ever.
