So here’s a funny/sad thing: comics and animation writer Micah Wright, the writer of the recently-cancelled DC/Wildstorm comic STORMWATCH and the author of YOU BACK THE ATTACK! WE’LL BOMB WHO WE WANT, a book of remixed propaganda posters satirizing the current US Administration, who made a name for himself as a former Army Ranger-turned-“pacificist”/writer, actually never served in the Armed Forces. Anywhere. Wright appears to have been trying to do some damage control by “coming clean” before a column in the Washington Post broke the story…

All of which is kind of funny, given that Wright’s STORMWATCH book was just cancelled by DC/Wildstorm, and Wright had been very publicly encouraging fans of the book to order copies of the now-cancelled collected edition from Amazon.com in an attempt to get DC/WS to publish the thing anyway.

Kinda puts a whole new spin on the reasons for the cancellation, doesn’t it? Don’t suppose there’ll be a whole lot of new Micah Wright comics coming out from any of the big companies any time soon…

Although it’s already all over the comics blogosphere (and man, does that sound ridiculous when you actually type it out), I saw this first at Kevin Melrose’s Thought Balloons, so he gets the shout out…
