Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* everyone seems to have enjoyed working with Chip Mosher as much as I did, judging by all the happy reporting on the announcement the former BOOM! staffer will be joining comiXology in a new LA office in a VP position supervising promotion and business development.

This will likely generate a lot of discussion about whether people approve or disapprove, although I would imagine the key element here is that the character has been one tough sell the last few decades so anything anyone wanted to do as long as it wasn't completely horrific in terms of her licensing power is going to be on the table. I do have a feeling that this means we won't see Wonder Tot in the new DC books, although I'm not sure I could have stomached a grimly serious Wonder Tot.
