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.
