Come September it would appear that two of the most critically acclaimed titles at Boom! Studios will be finally meeting head to head in a crossover this December. The Plutonian will finally cross paths with his ultimate enemy-turned-hero Max Damage from Incorruptible.
The issues that will be part of this crossover will be Irredeemable #32 and #33 and Incorruptible #25 and #26. Both series are written by Mark Waid, Irredeemable is drawn by Diego Barreto and Incorruptible is drawn by Marcio Takara.
Chim Chum and the Portly Samurai is a daily (Monday through Friday) all-ages comic strip written and drawn by Adrian Ropp. It follows the adventures of an as-yet-to-be-named samurai of questionable origins and his silent sidekick, a small fox named Chim Chum. The comic generally follows a single-panel gag format. A larger, ongoing story remains under wraps, but is in the works.
THE PORTLY SAMURAI
The Portly Samurai hails from Ancient China, and has a long, sordid past he does not like to talk about. Because of his obvious physical build, freelancing as a samurai is hardly a lucrative position. P.S. relies on quick turns of fortune and the clever cuteness of his diminutive pal to maintain his dietary standards.
CHIM CHUM
Chim Chum the fox is something of an enigma. There’s a lot of personality crammed into this small package, but little is actually known Chim Chum’s origins. Equal parts best friend and main antagonist to the Portly Samurai, Chim Chum seems to enjoy being part of the Dysfunctional Duo.

Join us this week on Comics Coast To Coast as we talk to Adam Huber(t) of the webcomic Bug.
I’ve had a weird relationship with Bug.
Ever since I was a little kid I knew I wanted to become a cartoonist. The only problem was: I had no idea what kind of strip to draw. Throughout my life, I’ve created lots of characters. Hundreds really. And I was dissatisfied with every single one of ‘em. They were all cute, trite and hacky. Once I turned 30 I began to panic. I started having doubts that I’d ever find the the right character (or characters) for a comic strip. What I didn’t realize is that I already created the perfect character for my sense of humor fifteen years earlier.
It was my freshman year of high school and I was in English class. The teacher handed each of us these clear sheets of plastic and a marker. On the plastic was a sentence with a grammatical mistake. Our job was to write the sentence correctly on the sheet of plastic. The teacher would then collect them and place them one by one on an overhead projector so the whole class could see how you corrected the sentence. Then the teacher would hand out all new sentences and we’d repeat the process.

It seems another shake-up is in order for DC’s New 52. Writer Keith Giffen is once again taking over writing duties on one of DC’s relaunched books. This time he is taking on the duties of writing Superman after George Perez leaves with issue #7. However, iFanboy is reporting that it is most likely that George Perez will stay on to help Dan Jurgens finish the artwork for Superman.

Dynamite Entertainment is launching a new Voltron comic series this December. This series will be written by Dynamite Entertainment writer Brandon Thomas and will have covers by Alex Ross. This quote from Dynamite editor Joe Rybandt sums up the goal of the new series perfectly:
“We’ve been given a lot of latitude by our partners at Classic Media and World Events,” said Dynamite Editor Joe Rybandt. “Nothing is off the table and if you’ve followed our releases featuring pop culture icons, you know that we take the best and add the new and create something unique and special on its own. Expect no different from Voltron.”

It would seem Static Shock is not the only DC title to get a change of writer so soon after the relaunch. JT Krul is being replaced by Keith Giffen for writing duties on DC’s Green Arrow series starting with issue 4. DC Has confirmed that Krul will continue writing his other title for DC, Captain Atom. It is also reported that Dan Jurgens will continue doing the artwork for Green Arrow.
