The Comics News Thread - Thread Title Updated for DouglasDanger!

Hey dudes, Geebs gave me the okay to start a general news thread. This is the thread to discuss the many news items that pop up concerning comics, many of which don't merit their own thread but are worth noting and talking about. We'll leave it up to your judgment as to what actually ought to be in its own thread, but I imagine most stuff in here will be stuff about talent coming onto books, new books, exclusivity deals, and the like. This should cut down on news getting posted in the Question thread and other non-related threads.
Anyway, I'll kick the thread off with this announcement, courtesy of Newsarama: Aaron Lopresti to pencil Wonder Woman. For anyone who has been reading Ms. Marvel the last couple years, this is really a no-brainer. Lopresti's got a talent for drawing hot chicks kicking ass, he's pretty good with technical drawings and expressions, and he's timely. Paired with a good writer, he's got the chops to do an extended run with consistently high quality. As sad as I was to see him leave Marvel, I'm glad he got this gig because it'll really play to his strengths. I may actually have to start reading Wonder Woman again.

wow the top of her legs look weird. there should be creases in her wonder panties
And why do you always say, "I'm sad that he's leaving Marvel." or "I'm glad he's a Marvel exclusive."? I understand you read mostly Marvel, but the way you put it is like you just want DC (and other publishers) gone completely. (this is not a marvel vs dc statement)
Simone just started her run on WonderWoman (great so far), so you're in luck.
it's not like the Dodsons aren't amazing artists
See I thought about this, but well, what issue are we at now?
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
Last one out was #16. #17 is scheduled for February 13th
man it is sad when Ultimates 3 sells more than the Sinestro Corps War
Looking over the numbers, it looks like a good showing for most of the books I read that month. Messiah Complex looks like it's a real hit.
I expect it to drop when after #2 hits we don't see #3 for months

Also, it is funny to see the Countdown numbers drop each and every week.
Loeb said on the latest word balloon that it was done (season 3) and that he was already working on that new crossover following ultimate power

New Matt Fraction Word Balloon podcast. Also - The Order is cancelled with issue #10.
What?
NOOOOOOOOOOO
As of November it sold 29k. Which is pretty good for a new book, with an all new cast, and limited interaction with the Marvel Universe. But it probably isn't so good for a book with pretty high profile talent like Kitson and Fraction on it.
I'm kind of disappointed though. I was really looking forward to getting the trade, and for Marvel to cancel the series before I even got a chance to support it in my preferred format kind of sucks. Plus, to cancel it with only a handful of issues actually out just seems weird. Maybe they're hoping that the community will rally behind the book Manhunter-style or something.

Oh HELLS YEAH
Dammit. Now I'm upset.
But I am quite upset about The Order getting canned.
Speaking of which, he mentioned that he's made a couple of proposals on an Orson book. I guess it's just too much AWESOME a month or something, because there is no other rational excuse.
Also, to get back to this being a general news thread and not just Iron Fist-wank: Fraction said the TPB for Seven Capital Cities of Heaven is going to be huge: IIF 8-14 (which is 34pgs), plus both Orson one-shots.
