Where's Cully?

How can Cully Hamner get invited on to the set of RED, but NOT be part of the panel at SDCC?

Kudos to Rich Johnston for making it his mission to try to get this fixed. As he points out, Steve Lieber couldn't even get into the audience for the WHITEOUT panel last year. Can't let that sort of disrespect carry over to another artist this year!

WILDSTORM IS SAFE!

I have it on good authority (see that? it's a pun!) that Wildstorm is safe. Whatever Cully was referring to when he said a whole line was being canceled, it wasn't the entire Wildstorm line.

My source on this was a little upset that so many people (including myself) jumped to such far-fetched conclusions based on Mr. Hamner's choice of words. I think it was just the timing with so many blogs and fans discussing the current state of Wildstorm and what will become of it that led people (again, including myself) to think this was a possibility.

I apologized to my source for the frustration involved in this issue and would like to extend that apology to anyone else that was stressed at all by the discussion of the reporting of events yesterday.

NON-ISSUE: Wildstorm Canceled Or Just A Stillborn Line Within Wildstorm?

NON-ISSUE: I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY (PUN INTENDED) THAT THE WILDSTORM LINE IS SAFER THAN SAFE RIGHT NOW!

UPDATE 1: Apparently, Rich Johnston has removed the story referenced below. That sound you're hearing appears to be the death throes of the WILDSTORM line, I do believe.

UPDATE 2: Dianafan, CBR poster and friend of SchwappOnline, provided a screen cap of the article as it appeared in Rich's column prior to being pulled down:



Rich Johnston reported on the following tidbits that Cully Hamner (f*cking great artist, by the way) shared with the world:

That project that I was gonna do after "Black Lightning," the one that got the official greenlight? It was a part of a line of books that DC just CANCELLED. Just got the word in a conference call.

Canceled line? The whole Wildstorm line, possibly? Since we're seeing Midnighter and others bite the dust...

Anyone with further details they'd like to share about the line canceling? Anonymous and Mysterious are taken, but you could be Mr/Mrs. Unknown or some other name of your choosing. ;)
