DC Relaunch for you! DC Relaunch for you! Everybody gets a Relaunch!
Oh, I wish. And I'm not alone.
This week for the The Line It Is Drawn over at Comics Should Be Good, we're celebrating DC's exciting September Relaunch! And we're doing it by having made first issue covers of DC-based titles re/imagined by our faithful readers and art appreciators.
Naturally, I chose one of my dream gigs and teamed it with one of the best and, incidentally, one of the coolest writers in comics, Gail Simone
. Check out my piece and those of The Line giants HERE.
Thank goodness a guy can still dream.
Long Live Ryan Choi!
(Here's one of my early chicken-scratch roughs for the redesign....)
Peace.

I'll always celebrate the Choister and mourn his loss until he returns.
Peace.
Apparently Asians don't count for diversity. Toss a few black guys into books like Justice League and that's diverse enough for DC.
I'm so bitter about no news about Cass Cain or Ryan.
I'd be sincerely sad if there's nothing's to come of Ryan, Cass Cain, and/or David Kim (Xombi) in this new universe. And I'm saying this not only cuz they're Asian/Asian American (criminally rare!), but they're also AMAZING characters. I figure those 2 things would be celebrated and fought for, not boxed away.
I'm really happy for the other non-white-male characters coming up, though. Yay Vixen, Cyborg, Jason Rusch, Batwing, and Static! More Asian love wouldn't hurt. Still also waiting for news on Jaime Reyes and Renee Montoya. Both also amazing.
Dang.
It's a shame that this is all still such a hurdle.
Peace.
Word Verification, I shit you not: "bonings"
Thanks, Jimbo!
Peace.
CATHCART: Thank you, sir! Originally a Grant Morrison concept, Ryan Choi was this amazing character Gail Simone wrote and introduced us to as THE ALL NEW ATOM. He stood out as a really fun and funny character w/ all this weird, many times absurd, sci-fi stuff happening to and around him. He and his cast were literally a breath of fresh air in the landscape of standard superhero fare and doom-and-gloom. He was unique in many and important ways... so of course he was brutally and sloppily killed off.
Peace.
