* Gabrielle Bell has announced her Spring 2017 book, Everything Is Flammable, with a cover image.

image* the artist Greg Capullo announced via Twitter that he's signed a new contract with DC Comics. His last run with them, either mostly or entirely on comics written by Scott Snyder, was very fruitful, and I have to imagine they're happy to have him back on board. No idea what they plan to put him on, but I would imagine a reunion with Snyder is likely.

* Joey Weiser and Ghost Hog to Oni.

* this is the full list for participating writer and artists in the Kamandi Challenge comic that DC is doing, where all-star teams of creators rotate on 12 issues of the title and try to throw the next creative team with a unique cliffhanger. I'm glad for any recognition of Jack Kirby. It's a sturdy group of talented creators, but not a lot of thrilling choices unless you're very much all in on the creative direction of the last several years of DC Comics.

* finally, Corey Lewis' one-cartoonist Sun Bakery anthology is going to Image, with existing issues to be reprinted. I've only read the fourth self-published issue, but Image would seem to be a good home for the title.
