Marvel reveals ‘Secret Wars’ comic ‘1872’, starring Sheriff Steve Rogers
Let me talk about the zillionth Secret Wars tie-in I’m stoked about! 1872! I know. I don’t really cover DC here anymore. MAYBE!, my excitement will be rebooted when their post-Convergence line-up hits. But until then it’s straight MAHHVEL FANBOY HEAH FROM MY SEAT IN BAWSTAHN KEHD.
Yes! – Burnham and Villalobos revisiting ‘E Is For Extinction’ X-Men run for ‘Secret Wars’
Collect all the Glory. Stuff it into something approximating my butt tunnel’s inner contours. And then work my fanboy g-spot with it. Chris Burnham and Ramon Villalobos are taking us back to the glory days of Grant Morrison’s X-Men run. Burnham is dope as fuck! But it’s Villalobos that I’m stoked about. I’ve been sweating the mighty man on Tumblr for a minute, and spend most of my Monday nights retweeting his Monday Night Raw commentary. Secret Wars continues to bring absurd, awesome, off-beat comics to the Marvel Universe.
Second issue of ‘NONPLAYER’ is dropping in June.
Finally! Holy fucking shit, Nonplayer is finally coming back. FINALLY. The goddamn best first issue I’ve read in years, which I read seemingly years ago at this point, is getting its follow-up.
Marvel’s ‘Runaways’ being revived by Noelle Stevenson (‘Lumberjanes’) as part of ‘Battleworld’
I’ll say this: I can’t complain about Marvel’s upcoming Secret Wars/Battleworld bullshit. Not anymore. Not with how many dope comic series it is generating in the face of the MARVEL OMNIVERSE smashing together. The latest dope announcement? Runaways lives again!
Becky Cloonan and Matt Taylor drop gorgeous ‘Sex Criminals’ prints
Sex Criminals has a second trade paperback. It’s got a goddamn television show in the works. Why shouldn’t the comic series also have a couple of gorgeous prints from Becky Cloonan and Matt Taylor? There is no fucking reason! Both of these prints are equally appealing to the eye-socket mush, but Cloonan’s is a sultry slice of NSFW.
Ben Templesmith adapting Lovecraft’s ‘Dagon’
One-thousand cheers in supplication towards the Elder Gods! Ben Templesmith is drizzling his lunatic talent all over an adaptation of Lovecraft’s Dagon. And I, for one, am fucking stoked.
Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá reveal new project, ‘Two Brothers’
The powerhouse Brazilian Brothers behind Casanova‘s artwork and Daytripper have finally revealed their next project: Two Brothers.
Bendis and Sorrentino reviving ‘Old Man Logan’ for ‘Secret Wars’ series
Old Man Logan. Like, the last thing I enjoyed from Mark Millar. Didn’t really need any additional mythos added after its coda, but apparently we are getting a new tale anyways.
DC Comics announces BOMB ASS diverse post-‘Convergence’ slate of comics
It appears that Marvel and DC are getting into a little bit of a diversification Arms Race. Works for me. DC has announced they’re nixing the “New 52” label after the upcoming event, Convergence. Following that MEGASPLOSIONVENT they’re unleashing a torrent of new titles. And baby, some of them are tasty. Black Canary drawn by Annie Wu? Fuck yeah. Section Eight by Garth Ennis and John McCrea? Constantine written by Ming Doyle and drawn by Riley fucking Rossmo? Word.
