By the end of the issue, it looks like there is a good chance there will be no Hornets left alive - especially after a couple shocking scenes - which we know is impossible in order for the series to continue. But Matthews has such skill he sells readers on a possibility we know can't exist.
With this series, expect the unexpected.
Will 'Lady' Go-Go bye bye?
The future of
Lady Robotika is in doubt. The series, written by former
Go-Go musician
Jane Wiedlin, is in danger of being canceled before it hits shelves due to low pre-orders. A friend of the singer told Comics Guy the series needs as many orders as possible by the end of June in order to survive. So if you are interested in Wiedlin's take on intergalactic adventures, be sure to let your comic shop know by Wednesday.
Chuck Dixon
on Marvel, DC
Even though writer
Chuck Dixon is riding high with his "
A-Team" for IDW and "
The Expendables" for Dynamite, don't expect him back at the Big Two anytime soon.
"Even though I did a lot of work at Marvel I always worked for the editors on the fringes," Dixon told Comics Guy. "There was open resistance and even hostility from the ... mainstream editors as far as me getting work on any of the mainstream titles. The closest I got was 'Moon Knight,' and when Carl Potts left as editor there was a lot of pressure for me to quit the book. Because I have no legacy on those titles, I doubt my name comes up very often."
"Politics absolutely plays a part," Dixon continued. "If you're not of the mindset of Marvel - meaning liberal-leaning - you don't get the gigs. Unless you're someone like ("Iron Man" film director) Jon Favreau, of course. Why you wouldn't want a 'scary, right-wing extremist' writing 'Punisher' is beyond me, though."
