Syfy’s Face Off Pairs DC Comic Artists With Contestants This Season

Syfy’s Face Off is one of my favorite shows. I’ve always been interested in movie makeup but didn’t have the skill to make it a career plus, the show isn’t overly dramatized like most reality TV these days. They premiered the fourth season last night and while I’ve yet to watch the episode, we’ve just found out some people we’re very familiar with will be making a guest appearance in a few weeks – employees of DC Comics. Find out if your favorite creator will be giving their artistic input to the contestants after the cut.

Vertigo Comics Executive Karen Berger Is Leaving DC Entertainment

Vertigo Comics has been the more serious, adult oriented arm of DC Comics since 1993 and at the very start was Karen Berger. Getting Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman published was just one of this editor’s countless accomplishments at the company, you can also put Hellblazer and V for Vendetta in that group, so it’s with a great deal of disappointment we must report she’s leaving the DC Entertainment altogether.

DC Comics have begun selling a range of archival prints, previously sold at the C2E2 convention in Chicago, in their DC Collectibles shop. They lean towards the minimalist approach (something we appreciate on this site) but also cover art deco, classic illustration, theater posters and more. Take a look at what they’ve got to offer.

More Details About Robot Chicken‘s DC Comics Special, Including Cast Members!

Back in October, at New York Comic Con, the creators of Adult Swim‘s Robot Chicken announced that they’d be doing a special centered solely on the DC universe. But at that point, there wasn’t much for them to show us, aside from all the sketches they’d already done with DC characters. Now, however, is a different story, because they have announced a cast of pretty amazing people to provide voice talent. We also know it will be coming this fall, probably just in time to promote at the next NYCC. Seriously, even this Marvel girl is psyched for this.

Big News For Women Working At DC Comics

I said big news, I didn’t specify whether it was good or bad. Well, it’s actually a bit of both. There’s been an editorial shakeup in the DC offices leading to the promotion of one of their female editors but an announcement of a new series called National Comics (with eleven creators on board) doesn’t go far in bumping up the publisher’s male to female creator ratio.

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), or Protect-IP Act as it’s called in the House of Representatives, has been the talk of the internet-town (and regular towns) for  months.

DC Digital Comics Will Not Be Exclusive To One E-Reader

DC Comics made a few people angry recently when they decided to make an exclusive deal with Amazon for over 100 of their digital comics to be available on the new Kindle Fire. Barnes & Noble notably took offense to such a decision and pulled DC graphic novels from their physical store shelves. Books-a-Million followed soon after. Well now it seems as if the publisher is backtracking a bit to quell this particular fire. They’ve told the New York Times the exclusivity is not quite as exclusive as they first claimed.
