Comics Writer Greg Rucka ‘Will Cut A Throat’ To Work On Mass Effect
Greg Rucka doesn’t seem like somebody who needs help making his dreams come true. This is, after all, a man who wrote Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman comics all at the same time. He’s also managed to craft incredibly tense dramas in creator-owned series like Queen & Country, Whiteout and Stumptown. But the best-selling novelist still has other things he wants to do, like write a work set in one of BioWare’s video game universes. And, as he recently told me, over e-mail, he wants it bad: “I’d cut a throat to get into the Mass Effect and Dragon Age universes, frankly.”
It’s Superman Vs He-Man In This New Comics Crossover
I have to admit that — of all the “who’d win” nerd arguments over the strength of pop-cultural metahumans — the Man of Steel vs The Hero of Eternia is one I never really thought about. Superman and He-Man? Science vs magic is always a good clash, but so much about the characters’ respective universes was just so different.

DC’s been putting out a crankier, less friendly version of the Justice League in the comics tying into the newly released Injustice fighting game. Superman takes over the world for the greater good and some heroes align with him. Aquaman isn’t one them, though.
My Favourite Superman Comic Is One Where He’s Not That Super
Today is Superman’s 75th birthday. (Lois Lane’s too!) And, yes, that Man of Steel trailer is great. Count me among the people excited to see Superman fly on a movie screen again. But the buzz around Kal-El’s cinematic return is a convenient distraction from the fact that the Superman comics currently in publication aren’t that great. (Yes, I’ve loved Grant Morrison’s run on Action Comics but that’s just ended.)
