Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked

* here are some details on a forthcoming Andi Watson release, Gum Girl.

* Vanessa Davis drew an F. Scott Fitzgerald story.

* there were plenty of worthy publishing announcements at New York Comic Con that didn't make yesterday's top ten list. One is the reformation of Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios imprint/publishing mechanism, to include work from Brandon Graham, Ross Campbell and unused scripts from Alan Moore. Liefeld was given a wee bit too much credit in terms of stepping in and hiring Moore after the writer's unsuccessful self-publishing forays -- there were others first -- but Moore's work there was the start of another rich phase of genre exploration. Here's a panel coverage piece on Vertigo's upcoming titles.

* David Hine and Shaky Kane will be teaming for a follow-up on their Bulletproof Coffin.

* an Ethan Hawke-written graphic novel drawn by Greg Ruth has landed at Hyperion.

* those of you that had "a science fiction story with a monkey robot" in the Frederik Peeters pool for what the cartoonist would be doing ten years after Blue Pills nailed it.

* you'd think more people would want the fire guy on their team. Or maybe working with a fire guy is sort of a pain in the butt.

* Marvel will be doing Dexter graphic novels, featuring the involvement of the character's creator.

* Graeme McMillan writes on how disappointing it would be if rumors of a big event for Marvel next Spring merely means yet another relaunch of the Avengers title with writer Brian Michael Bendis. I wrote the previous sentence last week, and it turns out McMillan can be half-disappointed. There will be an Avengers title as he worried, but the big event is looking like the return of the Phoenix character.

* finally, CBR has a look at some finished-looking pages and the dueling covers for the Brubaker/Philips Fatale series announced at NYCC. A couple of you have written in to suggest that there's a story in that pair taking this title to Image when their Criminal is firmly ensconced at Marvel/Icon. To be honest with you, I haven't read the promotional/announcement pieces yet and has assumed that matter was addressed in one of them.
