Is this an Identity Crisis like thing?
Bendis Talks about “House of M”
At the Emerald City ComiCon, New Avengers writer Brian Michael Bendis revealed more information about the much anticipated Marvel event, House of M. "It's just about the damn biggest thing I've ever written. All the Marvel writers are involved and writing the stories they want to write." Fans have been speculating for several months that House of M is going to pick up where the “Chaos” storyline in Avengers #503 left off, but Bendis said not to believe what you read online.
It's a very big story and at its basis, it starts with Astonishing X-Men and New Avengers, but grows to include the entire Marvel Universe. "When we're done at the end, we don't put it back together the way we found it." Joss Whedon is not directly writing any part of the crossover, but he did help in planning it. He teased, "The enemy of the X-Men and the enemy of the Avengers is now the same person...."
The format of the core event is an 8-issue biweekly mini-series, written by Bendis, drawn by Olivier Coipel, and colored by Frank D'Armata, who Bendis who says is a “great storyteller and an amazing colorist.” The official series announcement is coming up in the June "Previews." "Every other week is going to be like a giant bomb is dropped on the Marvel Universe."

Hmmm. Sounds like Magneto's taking the stage again. Could be good, could be "Avengers Disassembled." Too early to say, but Joss helping with the planning doesn't hurt.
Any mention if Brubaker's involved, now that Marvel owns him?
(While I understand that they made him an offer he couldn't refuse, I have to admit that I am in fact bitter about this development.)
More on IDW's first Angel mini-series and what looks like a cover.
Did the cover artist think Angel was played by Graham Greene instead of David Boreanaz?

Preach it. I haven't heard yet what this means for Gotham Central, but with its low sales, I expect a cancellation announcement soon. It also means only 4 more issues of Sleeper, and I guess his Authority run is only going to last 12 issues.
How did DC let this happen?

I... didn't know this had happened until just now.

Yeah, I don't expect GC to last much beyond the last arc he and Rucka are doing. Damn it.
How did DC let this happen?
It makes me *really* nervous about their big plans for the coming year. I get the sinking feeling that they're moving away from the kind of storytelling I (and, as it happens, most of the female fans I know) love best and into the sort of meh BS that had me rolling my eyes at superhero comics for much of the early 90s.

The Crisis du jour? Where I am *convinced* (along with half of fandom) that Jason Todd is coming back?
