Friday Quick Caption is a weekly update of quick links and blurbs from the world of entertainment news. Expect your fast pace, A.D.D. dose of movie trailers, comic news, celebrity updates, and video game announcement from throughout the week.

 

A quick reminder before we get into this week’s FQC. I know we’re all Geeks here, and thusly we often have a ton of things running through our mind. Because of this, sometimes we forget little things, such as to thank our mothers for (hopefully) supporting our Geeky interests. Well, remember that this Sunday, May 13th, is Mother’s Day in many parts of the world, so do something awesome for your mom! (I recommend taking her to see Avengers)

Sweet Tooth To Have Sweet Goodbye – Jeff Lemire’s popular and quirky post-apocalyptic series, Sweet Tooth, is officially set to end at issue #40. Lemire announced this in his blog on Monday, and spoke a little more about it on Vertigo’s blog as well. He wishes to stress that the book has not been cancelled by DC, even thanking many of DC and Vertigo’s staff, and that this ending came of his own choice as natural conclusion to the series. Issue #40 is set to be double-sized and released in December. The final storyline, The Wild Kingdom, will begin in August’s issue #36  and will begin a 4-issue set of interlocking covers.

The opening salvo of DC’s New 52 by the company’s CCO, Geoff Johns, and co-publisher, Jim Lee, is about to enter its 8th printing! That is pretty near unheard of in this modern era of comics to see an issue see 8 separate printings. The new printing is set to hit stores June 6th, and the question becomes how many more ways can this comic see varying covers?
