WW news: Diggle, Portacio, Cooke and Sale on Confidential
Wizard World Philadelphia is barely an hour old, and already comes the first big announcement: Wizard has word on the initial creative teams for Superman Confidential and Batman Confidential, which debut in September.
Writer Andy Diggle and artist Whilce Portacio will tackle the first arc on the Batman book, while Superman's story will be told by writer Darwyn Cooke and artist Tim Sale.
“Just from Superman for All Seasons we know that Tim [Sale] can draw the beejeezus out of Superman,” DC's Dan DiDio tells former Great Curve contributor Brian Warmoth. “And Darwyn’s probably one of the best storytellers out there."

"Tim Sale will be one such A-list artist on the first arc of "Superman Confidential.""
Thanks, "Anonymous" Johnston ...
Question for Rich (who I assume is still reading ... I hear if you say his name three times, he'll pop up)
If you aren't a "journalist," as you've claimed many times over in your own column and other places, then why are you so concerned about who broke the news first?
It might have something to do with the number of times people cast aspersions on the news he breaks, but how they always fail to give him plaudits when the truth validates his story.
It's kind of like the Drudge Report or even the New York Post -- people want to rake them over the coals, but then they wind up talking about those stories the very next day.
Of course, in the comics industry, we get the silliness of a rag like Wizard confirming a rumor. Gotta love comics!
