* Here’s a bunch of information on Grant Morrison’s upcoming seven-issue series Multiversity, ripped from the pages of Wizard in what strikes me as a little less than fair-use fashion. There will be a Fawcett issue doing Captain Marvel in an All Star Superman style, a Charlton issue using the original Charlton heroes in lieu of their Watchmen analogues, the whole thing will be one of those “stand-alone issues that introduce a whole new world but interlock to tell a non-linear story” Seven Soldiers deals that will be full of amazing ideas that no one at DC will ever use again, etc. (Via JK Parkin.)

* The film adaptation of Clive Barker’s Book of Blood will likely debut on the SciFi/Syfy Channel in the fall. That’s not good. (Via STYD.)

* Tom Devlin talks up Marc Bell’s upcoming 272-page art book Hot Potatoe. I’ll be honest, I’d be a lot more excited about this if there were more comics content and fewer pages 85% comprised of doodled curlicues, but I guess I understand where the money’s at for the guys who straddle the fine-art/comics border. I mean, shit, Shrimpy & Paul and Worn Tuff Elbow were tremendous.

* If I were in Richmond, I’d go to this: Ron Rege Jr. art show opening tomorrow.

* I’m not gonna spoil it by posting both images here, which you really need to do to get the impact, but check out Michaela Colette Zacchilli’s cover version of Jae Lee’s cover for Spider-Man 2099 #36 at Covered. It takes a pretty striking image to begin with and adds an oomph that you can practically feel–made me LOL, it did.

* Speaking of rides on the LOLlercoaster, thank you for this, Eric Reynolds:
