MAD ABOUT MAD ABOUT DC

Total Sellouts

Chip Zdarsky

Some fun news: we’re all sellouts!

At least all the fine creators in MAD ABOUT DC are!

It’s true! And I have the second printing cover by Rafael Albuquerque to prove it!

Can I be real for a moment? Like, genuine?

NO

Please?

UGH FINE JUST THIS ONCE

I’ve been pretty moved by the overwhelmingly positive reaction to this dumb project. The signings I’ve done since it came out have shown me how much people want fun in their comics. We need more books like MAD ABOUT DC! Edited by someone else because I’m so tired!

Oh, also, they’re doing a blank cover for this printing, so YOU TOO can be a part of MAD/DC glory!

The new printing is out JUNE 3 and you have to let your Very Special Retailer know IMMEDIATELY that you want it, as FOC is this coming Monday!

Okay, that’s really all I needed to tell you. This week I’ve been doing some long-term planning for Marvel, doing lettering passes (when you see the final art and adjust your script before it gets lettered) for CAPTAIN AMERICA #12 and #13. Being a bystander for some very exciting SEX CRIMINALS teevee show developments, and going over artwork for AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON #2. What exactly is distracting Ross and Ben Grimm here? Is it a surprise sale at the Very Big & Very Tall men’s clothing store?

God, Delio & Frank are so good. I can’t wait for you to see these issues.

Oh! Also, I watched the season finale of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season Two and holy shit what a fun time. Chatting with some fellow comic creators I was saying how cool it is to see so many elements from the comics brought together and expanded on. Great job by everyone involved.

Also, Cole North, I love you. See you in season three.
