Two words could be used to describe comics in 2015: scandal and rebirth. The scandals happened off the pages at both companies large and small, and the rebirth happened in the comics themselves.
Graphic Policy reported that former Dark Horse Comics editor-in-chief Scott Allie bit writer Joe Harris (X-Files Season Ten) at the Boom! Studios party at San Diego Comic Con, and he was demoted to “executive editor” even though an assault of this kind would be grounds for dismissal at almost any other company. There was also another ethical breach at Dark Horse when The Rainbow Hub journalist Emma Houxbois reported that former Bleeding Cool editor Hanna Means-Shannon broke a Dark Horse-related story while it was under embargo and didn’t disclose the fact that she was taking a job with the company.

Nameless #2
Written by Grant Morrison
Art by Chris Burnham

Published by Image Comics
One of the strangest elements in Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham sci-fi horror miniseries has been how shockingly tame it’s been. That’s not to say what is presented in this recent issue of the inaugural outing are anything that doesn’t warrant a mature content warning, just that it’s strange to see the creative team of such mind bending works like Batman Inc. and The Multiversity: Pax Americana be this far into their limited miniseries and not fully engage the body horror and raging madness of say Event Horizon. That all being said, this issue is a massive improvement from last month, but to the point one wonders why the first two issues couldn’t have been at least fit together.

If you've experienced conflict while choosing between "Pokémon Black" and "Pokémon White" recently, you are not alone. Bryan Lee O'Malley's been struggling with the decision and invoking Michael Jackson.
Meanwhile in Illinois, the death penalty is a hot topic today. Chris Burnham weighed in on how he believes the punishment should be applied. His anger, along with some rad Gabriel Hardman artwork, a story of Lent sacrifice, and info on what they talk about around the Marvel offices made the tweet highlight reel after the jump.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is your Twitter Report for March 9, 2011.
@radiomaru michael jackson taught me it don't matter if you're black or white but i'm not sure how that applies to choosing my pokemon version

@TheBurnham The governor of Illinois is going to ban the death penality. I think...

Reports began tricking out into the Twitter Report feed last night that legendary artist Al Williamson passed away. There's been some debate about the original source of the news, but as of right now I haven't seen official confirmation. Nonetheless, memories and appreciations have been trending all morning.
News of country singer turned breakfast sausage brand man Jimmy Dean also prompted some reactions, as did the continuing discussion about Donald Glover wanting a shot at playing Spider-Man. In regards to the latter, Erik Larsen sounded off on the subject and criticized baseline expectations for black heroes in comics, including Luke Cage specifically.
On one final note, let it be known that in addition to reading Neil Kleid's opinions on World Cup soccer, I also enjoy his considerable creative talents on occasion and highly recommend "The Big Khan" and "Ursa Minors."
