* Image Comics has announced a sell-out and second printing for Savage Dragon #149 and a page increase for Savage Dragon #150.

The second printing of Savage Dragon #149, featuring the debut of Dart, will be in stores on July 1. Savage Dragon #150 will increase from 64 pages to 100, with no price increase, and will also be in stores on July 1.

"I knew Dart was going to be a big deal for Savage Dragon and it looks like fans reacted well," series creator Erik Larsen said. "She's going to be playing a very significant role in the road ahead, especially in the fallout of our monster-sized next issue. (Savage Dragon) #150 will prove to be a major turning point in the live of our Chicago's finest, so much so that keeping it at 64 pages wasn't enough. Fans who jumped on with Dart's appearance will be very happy with the bulked up hundred-page issue."

Savage Dragon #150 will now feature a 30-page lead story and the previously announced back-up stories with Thor, Vanguard and Chris Giarrusso's G-Man, as well as the long-lost origin of the Golden Age Daredevil by Charles Biro and the out-of-print origin of Savage Dragon

* William Shatner will appear on NBC's The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on Wednesday, and, according to Bluewater Productions, he will be promoting his TekWar comics.
