Two comic notes

[yendi]

First, Jay Faerber's Noble Causes, the comic that's made superheroes fun again, will have a special out in a few months called Noble Causes: Extended Family, featuring short stories by the following combinations of writers and artists:

Jay Faerber & Mike Hawthorne
Geoff Johns & Brent McKee
Phil Hester & Sean Murphy
Eric Stephenson & Todd Nauck
J. Torres & Tim Levins
Brian K. Vaughan & Mitchell Breitweiser
John Layman & Pat Quinn
Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning & Anthony Williams
Gail Simone & Andres Ponce

I'd rather see no one but Jay write his title, but these are some mighty fine writers and artists.

And second, the awesome Carla Speed McNeil, creator of the most unique comic ever, Finder, will be drawing the next arc of King and Country! Rucka and McNeil on a comic together! Woohoo!

(the reason I dropped K+C early on, in fact, was that the art made almost every character look alike, a royal pain in any spy story; I've got no such worries with Carla).
