Alex Ross‘s early work for Shadowrun. Some of the more memorable pieces of art I remember from playing that game.

Charley’s War is an in-depth look at a classic British (anti-)war comic which describes the Great War from the prespective of a naive working class soldier. Link via LinkMachineGo.

One horrifying thing described in Charley’s War was how shell-shocked soldiers were shot at dawn for “cowardice”.

Reports that Alan Moore plans to retire this year to mark his fiftieth birthday, and provides details of tribute books to be published for the occassion. I’ll probably forget to order them, so there’s something someone can get me for my birthday, should they be so inclined…

Also, details of a talk Grant Morrison gave at the Institute Of Contempory Art in London, including his plans to make the DC Universe self-aware (it’s complex enough to support sentience, he suggests), intimations of the coming eschaton, and his love for cats.

All this through LinkMachineGo, of course.

SEX SELLS – NEW X-MEN #118 – subliminal sexual messages in NEW X-MEN #118. Heh. Gotta go re-read that issue now. (link via Linkmachinego)

Also from Linkmachinego comes the Zenith phase 3 scorecard, which is ridicilously obscure, but just the sort of link I love (it’s part of a site describing superhero characters in UK comics).
