It's been referred to by Ben C. and on the Kyle Baker thread but I thought I'd start a dedicated thread devoted to the second most exciting comic of the Summer.
'Wednesday Comics' (or 'Thursday Comics' as it will be known in the UK).
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/030919-Wednesday-Comics.html
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/020920-Chiarello-WEds.html
http://blog.newsarama.com/2009/03/23/more-wednesday-comics-art-surfaces/
16 pages weekly, 1 episode per page, 14" x 20" making it the "Kramers Ergot 7" of the DCU.
I can't wait for the 'Absolute Edition'.
Edited by Mark Chiarello.
Neil Gaiman & Mike Allred on 'Metamorpho', Ben Caldwell on 'Wonder Woman', Sean "Cheeks" Galloway on Teen Titans, Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Rizzo on 'Batman', Kyle Baker on 'Hawkman' Adam Kubert & Joe Kubert on 'Sgt Rock', Lee Bermejo on 'Superman', Kurt Busiek & Joe Quinones on 'Green Lantern'
Plus: Paul Pope, Walt Simonson, Dave Bullock, Dave Gibbons, Ryan Sook, John Arcudi, Eddie Berganza, Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner and Karl Kerschel on 'Adam Strange', 'Catwoman', 'Demon', 'Deadman', 'Kamandi', 'Supergirl', 'Flash' and the 'Metal Men'.
Ben Caldwell colour test for his 'Wonder Woman' contribution to 'Wednesday Comics'.
Kyle Baker's 'Hawkman'. "I try not to spend more than four hours on a page. Photo-realism is much easier than humor."

Those Kyle Baker panels just murdered my brain. What a good reason to go the comic book store again.

Thanks for the link, Ben.
That's some stellar company you're keeping.
I'm dubious about the inference,
"Fifties SF means Metal Men."
What about Adam Strange?

I'm really against DC and their stupid bullshit weekly event comics crap.
But I'll have to buy this.

Mark Chiarello update.
New info:
John Arcudi is the writer on 'Superman', Ryan Sook is drawing 'Kamandi'.
On the fold-down, will the part that will be exposed to the public on a rack be part of a strip, or will that be sort of a cover?
You know honestly, we are working on that now. Ultimately I would love it to be part of that very first story. Page 1 is always going to be the Batman installment that is written by Brian Azzarello and drawn by Eduardo Risso, so I would love that front page to always be composed of the Wednesday Comics logo and part of the Batman strip--so it’s a “jump-right-in” for readers.
Is it going to carry any advertising?
Again, we are trying to work that out. If it does contain any advertising, it will be something minimal, something on the back cover.
Do you know what it’s going to be priced at?
They haven’t locked it in yet, but it will probably be the price of a regular comic book.
That's quite a range these days, isn't it?
Yeah.
Do you know when the first issue is actually coming out?
First week in July--it will be in stores in the first week in July.
You’ve got six creative teams mentioned and 16 pages--how will the pages be apportioned?
Well they haven’t released the final list of creators. It’s going to be 16 pages and 15 stories and each story is a full-pager.
So with 12 issues, each story will be 12 broadsheet pages long?
Exactly twelve really big pages, and hopefully when we collect them we can collect them all in order so that you can get the run of each story.
So there will be a giant book that will come out of all of this?
Man, I am still scratching my head over that one. It’s going to be a big book when we collect it, that’s for sure.
Kind of like Kramer’s Ergot, or maybe not that big?
Well, you never know--somebody (Sunday Press Books) did an excellent job of collecting Little Nemo strips. The book is enormous, but it’s just so gorgeous. I am hoping we can use that as a model and do something like that.
Are you going to sell this anywhere besides comic book stores?
Yeah, but I can’t answer that question at this moment. We are trying to work out something really cool.
It seems like this would be a great outreach tool, wouldn’t it?
Yeah we have some exciting prospects, but I can’t talk about them yet.
