#NYCC News! An Attack on Titans Anthology US Comics

Here's the most random but fun news to have come out of this year's New York Comic-Con - there's going to be an American-produced anthology comic revolving around Attack on Titans:


In case you didn't know, it's a post-apocalyptic medieval (?) manga and anime series about humanity trying to survive in a world where "Titans", giant invincible zombie-like creature rampage through the world so people have built these giant walls to survive.

Kodansha Comics has announced they're going to publish this Attack on Titan Anthology comic in fall 2016, which is going to be a full-color 250-page collection of short stories by a roster of American creators, each story between 5 to 25 pages, with pinup artwork as well by various popular comic book artists.

This is not the first time a partnership like this has been made between US comics and Japanese mangas, I'm thinking of the great tribute/parody books published by Dark Horse Comics around Evangelion.

They already released a list of some of the contributors of the actual short stories: Brenden Fletcher, Tomer & Asaf Hanuka, Faith Erin Hicks, Kate Leth & Jeremy Lambert, Michael Oeming, Afua Richardson, Paolo Rivera, Damion Scott, Gail Simone, Scott Snyder, Cameron Stewart, Babs Tarr, Genevieve Valentine, Kevin Wada and finally Ronald Wimberly.

Check out these few preview artworks:



I cannot wait for all this! There already was a Marvel Universe X Shingeki no Kyojin crossover last year and two live action Japanese movies. This franchise is getting huuuuge I tell ya!

#DeletedScenes - Kickass DC Gals: The Series

Okay, this one makes me pretty sad.

So it seems that at some point Gail Simone pitched the following book to DC.

Since DC "benched" former Batgirls Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain, she tried to pitch a way to get them back
This was back in 2011. Gail Simone explained on her Tumblr:
"This was a book I worked on for a year with alterations. I wanted to do a girl team book featuring Black Alice, Misfit, a young Bumblebee, and led by Stephanie Brown. They would all be going to the same high school. The plan was to have BQM [Note Bryan Q. Miller] co-write it with me.
It went through lots of permutations and changes but eventually, they passed on it, which was understandable but a little bit (okay, a lot) heartbreaking. I don’t want to say more about it, but that’s a big reason why I was hopeful about some of those characters, because it seemed a pretty exciting premise.
But it doesn’t mean those characters won’t be back at some point, hopefully they will."
Woah?! Really??
How could that would have been, can you picture it?


Specially having Bryan Q. Miller on board (to write Steph? taking care of the dialogues?)

Now I'm just sad knowing that...
