Found this while researching a story I've been working on since.... October 2023 after a chance tip. I had a great meeting about it in LA earlier this year, still trying to get the truth of it all. One truth that's never failed is Dwayne was the real deal, personally and professionally.

YUMI: 00EX by Doug Wagner and Hoyt Silva brings equal parts The Kingsman and K-Pop Demon Hunters to Image Comics in a stylish sci-fi action story packed with mystery and striking visuals. Check out the full reveal from Popverse. https://www.thepopverse.com/comics-yumi-00ex-announce-image-comics

In 1966, Marvel created a program for its comics to hand out at that year's New York Comicon (not to be confused with ReedPop's New York Comic Con). The cover of the 1966 Marvel NYC cover? A spotlight on Jack Kirby, "possibly the greatest super-hero of all!."

Marvel Comics' first secretary was the late Flo Steinberg. In doing research for a project, I found her weekly pay in 1963. Adjusted for inflation, Flo Steinberg made $36,714 annually. By her and Lee's account, she was the second Marvel editorial staffer at the time, after Lee himself as EiC.

I am still noodling on this.

Newsarama was my first professional comics gig, way back in 1999. I was the first employee Mike and Matt hired. I learned a ton about the industry and it opened many doors. Lots of great names had bylines there. www.thepopverse.com/comics-newsa... @chrisarrant.bsky.social @popversesays.bsky.social

I'm getting a lot of questions after reporting on the closure of Newsarama, re: state of comics journalism, what happened, etc. Instead of answering it multiple times in multiple ways, just ask me here on this or anything. I'll say as much as I can without violating confidences & contracts.

If you want to do something to prevent the next Newsarama from dying in a very non-superhero comic death, put you (or your company)'s money into supporting comics journalism. I have some recs:
