If it is the widely discussed interview I found doing some quick searches online he seems a bit off and inconsistant to what seems to happen. He says Batman just reaches out and snaps Joker's neck. Which doesn't make any sense because after the scene of Batman reaching out Joker is still standing and still laughing for 1 (2?) frames afterwards. It just doesn't add up. About the largest insight is that it seemed they wanted to kill Joker but DC didn't want these one-off storylines which don't follow the main continuum.

I think that's already happened kinda. During one of the issues of Superior he disappeared and then reappeared all beat up with no explanation. Apparently he was taken to the future so Superior returns for a couple issues to cover that as part of the Spidey event.
Unrelated, yesterday's Uncanny X-Men had quite the WTF moment as Xavier's will was read:
Looking forward to next week, lots of Thanos. An original Starlin graphic novel and we find out what happened in Cancerverse with Ryder I think.
The events in Avengers (blowing up planets, jumping through time) and Uncanny Avengers (celestial executioner, apocalypse twins, new horsemen, kang-o-rama) feel so big and epic that it's strange their events are confined to their books.

He is married to Mystique. Who might now own the school because Logan signed everything back over to Xavier's estate at some point.

Bit of a super geeky but awesome bit of DC Comics Lore work by Grant Morrison. He basically created a map typing together in one cohesive cosmology all the the DC properties including Gaiman's work.

I just went on a spending spree today because I had a long and bad day and I bought $90 worth of physical comics. Mainly Original Sin (most of it) and all of the current Punisher run.

DC's release schedule is stupid... new story arc for Romita starts for a couple of weeks ignoring the DOOMED (Superman 'infected' with Doomsday) arc, and now this week there are 3 DOOMED books. This is partly why I don't buy a lot of their stuff.

Looks like the entire Spider-Verse event takes place during that time skip, so hopefully we get Superior during the entire event.
Just finished all the Original Sin story so far. Not a bad story, could have been better, we shall see how they tie it all up.

Of all the comics on the market right now Adventure Time consistently kills it with every issue. Pure fun to read that book.

Within the past few weeks we've seen most of the major media conglomerates divest themselves of the print side of the business. (Nicely summed up in this article from the New York Times :Log In - The New York Times) While overall comic readership may be up year-over-year in terms of total volume of sales, much of that can be directly attributed to marketing gimmicks in the top few sales positions each month.
According to Comichron (Comic Book Sales Figures for December 2013) the total sales for the top 300 comics in 2013 came to $308M or $402M if you include trade paperbacks and graphic novels. That's the sum total for an entire industry in a year AND that is the cover price, not what the comics companies themselves take-in as that revenue is shared with the distributors and retailers. In contrast Guardians of the Galaxy has taken in $313M in just 10 days (Passes $500 Million | Variety) and 100% of cinema ticket sales go right back to the major movie companies, the cinemas themselves share none of that revenue. All the adverts before the trailers and the crazy price of popcorn is what funds your local cinema, not the movies themselves.
The full revenue of an entire industry vs. the first two weeks of only one of the 'comic book' movies this year. The secondary market for merchandising is dominated by sales tied to the cinematic and animated properties, not the print market. Furthermore these media properties are based on existing IP and consist of wholly new stories or loosely based on stories from decades ago. Bruce Timm's work in the DC Animated Universe influenced the print version in terms of new characters and characterizations than the other way around.
From a business standpoint, looking solely at revenue, the print comics world makes as much sense as printed newspapers and smart money is running away from that world quick... how much longer until Warner / Disney realize they can retain all the lucrative IP and spin the print divisions off into new debt-laden companies...which then have to license the characters back from the parent of course.
