A few links of note for Thursday

The long weekend is almost upon us, and minds tend to wander this close to the end of the work day. So, how about I provide you with a handful of links to click through and get through the day a bit faster?

• This morning, we unveiled a first look at SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, and the reaction was strong and positive, with pickup from WIRED, AOL COMICS ALLIANCE, THE BEAT, COMIC BOOK RESOURCES, IGN, NEWSARAMA and iFANBOY. That Shane Davis sure can draw, huh?

• THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR spotlighted the recent news of Dick Grayson sticking around as one of two Batmen.

• NEWSARAMA spoke to Batman Group Editor Mike Marts about the decision and the overall landscape of the Bat-books later this year.

• And SPIKE TV announced the nominees for the 2010 SCREAM AWARDS, which include our very own Geoff Johns and J.H. Williams III.

A few links of note — JMS edition

That was some big news on Monday, eh?

And with big news comes big reaction, with a number of outlets picking up on the fact that JMS will be writing SUPERMAN and WONDER WOMAN in July and commenting on his excellent essay, posted later in the day Monday.

Bryan Young, writing at THE HUFFINGTON POST, summed things up nicely: "I can't wait to see what he'll do." Same here, Bryan.

In addition to THE HUFFINGTON POST, the news got placement at a number of outlets, including AOL’s COMICS ALLIANCE blog, TIME’s TECHLAND, IGN, io9, NEWSARAMA, COMIC BOOK RESOURCES, iFANBOY, ICv2, ROBOT 6, AIN’T IT COOL NEWS and BLOG@NEWSARAMA.
