The 2010 Eisner Award winners were announced last night, to honor some of the best and brightest talents in comics, and DC came away with a number of honors. Highlights include two nods for DETECTIVE COMICS artist J.H. Williams III and the ABSOLUTE JUSTICE collection. Click here for a complete list of all winners, and scroll down for the list of DCU winners.  

Remember when we told you to sit tight for another BATMAN announcement? Well, here it is. As revealed on the BATMAN panel at San Diego Comic-Con, writer Grant Morrison will be helming a new, ongoing Batman series: BATMAN INC., featuring art by the ultra-talented Yanick Paquette.  

San Diego puts the spotlight on the mastermind himself, Grant Morrison, as DCU Senior Story Editor Ian Sattler sits down with Grant to discuss his career in comics – from ANIMAL MAN to RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE — and tease what’s in store. This is a can’t-miss panel for Morrison fans.  

Swing by room 6DE for this special spotlight on DC’s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, the mastermind behind the BLACKEST NIGHT, BRIGHTEST DAY and GREEN LANTERN and THE FLASH comic books. Prep your questions and tune in to see Group Editor Eddie Berganza interview one of comics’ modern masters.  

Get some clues and insight from WIDENING GYRE artist Walt Flanagan as he discusses working with writer Kevin Smith on the epic mini-series. Swing by room 4, as the panel will be starting shortly. You won’t want to miss it.  

It’s almost time for the doors to open at the San Diego Comic-Con, so we figured it’d be the ideal moment to unveil some never-before-seen artwork. How about a first look at some art from J.H. Williams III’s new BATWOMAN series? Well, here you go. Hope to see you soon!

“ZOMBIE, The EP Comic,” a limited-edition, traditional-sized comic book based on the fictionalized adventures of rising metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada, bundled with the band’s upcoming “Zombie EP” (Ferret), will be available at retail exclusively at all Hot Topic stores for $9.99 beginning August 24.   

Anyone that’s familiar with Korn’s catalogue knows that they’ve been on a bit of a tangent with their style since “Issues.” Three of their last four releases have been widely experimental and their foray back into their old school style on “Take A Look In The Mirror” was good but not up to standard. That is far from the case with “III: Remember Who You Are.” This is easily their best in a long time, and even with only 3 remaining original members (the reason behind the III in the title perhaps?) they bring the fierceness that defined their early work.

After a 6 year hiatus and 4 side project albums (2 Velvet Revolver, 1 Army of Anyone, 1 Scott Weiland solo) the Stone Temple Pilots reunited, toured extensively, and then released their long awaited 6th studio album… and it delivers.
