1. Received this email from Barnes and Noble:

1. Warren Ellis:

The New DC comics stuff looks so much like stuff I would never read that it oddly fills me with hope that they are targetting the core audience they want. If a 43-year old man looks at most of this promo stuff and goes meh, then that’s very probably a good sign for them.

3. Fascinating article about the Ottoman Empire and Turkey's current political plans.

1. From a long interview with Grant Morrison, talking about Batman's mother in Arkham Asylum:

That's why in Arkham Asylum, when he sees his mother she's been kind of haunting him, since they're dragging him to -- it's not Zorro, but it's an earlier movie, it's Bambi, and his mother is saying "you shouldn't be crying, you've made a fool of everybody." She seems quite nasty in that book, and I was looking back to memories of my own mother, I once I got dragged out of a cinema for screaming at the death of a turtle, so that was that. She's only ever appeared in my stories as kind of a scary figure. It's an interesting one, I think.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto by David Palumbo on sale as a print here.

Frazier Irving:

Some months back, my buddy and collaborator Simon Spurrier became very, very old. To make him feel better I drew him a birthday image and printed it out so he could frame it and gaze at it’s loveliness as his faded with each passing moment, sorta like a Dorian Grey thing to order. All of the characters in the background he either created or worked on whilst making very good comics. I figured, however, that it isn’t enough that only he can gaze at it, so I have decided to unleash it upon the internet. Yes, that’s Simon at the bottom of the picture.
