* Gamechanger part deux: DC Comics unveils its own digital-comics plan. This includes an app for the iPad and iPhone, plus digital comics available through comiXology and PlayStation and eventually the DC website to boot. The 26-issue biweekly series Justice League: Generation Lost is going day-and-date immediately (y’know, if you’ve been wondering whether we’d see moves toward that sort of thing by the end of the year or anything). The company is also publicly announcing the existence of creator royalties for digital sales, though of course no figures. (Kudos to Matt Maxwell for being the first person I saw to notice all this.)

* My colleague Kiel Phegley talks to Co-Publisher Jim Lee and digital honcho John Rood about the move, and my colleague Kevin Melrose has the best reaction roundup I’ve seen.

* Today at Robot 6: Megan Kelso talks turkey about the New York Times Funny Pages.

* MK Reed interviews Tom Neely on the Henry Rollins/Glenn Danzig slashfiction minicomic Henry & Glenn Forever for the Beat. Hilarious and heartbreaking money quote:

 In 3 weeks we sold more HG4Evers than I’ve sold of The Blot in 3 years. I’m really happy for this books success, but it has caused some conflicting emotions about success and art.

But Tom announces on his blog that the second printing will include 12 new strips, so that’s good news. I think.

* Here’s a fine piece by J.D. on David Lynch’s underrated, supremely disturbing Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

* Lost “news” I’m posting today because I wasn’t sure, I figure some other people might not be either: Today I did some googling and learned that that epilogue featuring So-and-So and Such-and-Such will indeed be on the Lost Season Six DVD set, not just the Complete Series set.

* I really gotta watch Dick Tracy again sometime soon.
