JAMES STOKOE’S cover for ‘What If? Age of Ultron’ #2 is Typical Stokeian InsaniGlory.

Stokoe's Beauty.

James Stokoe has the sort of mind I’m fucking jealous of, man. Not to mention his goddamn talent. His ability to conceive of such outrageous concepts (Orc Stain) and execute gorgeous artwork (His enormous Galactus from a couple of years back) is fucking staggering. Woe be to someone like me, rife with grammar errors and cheap dick jokes. So it should be no surprise that his cover for What If? Age of Baddy-Guy Event #2 has me willing to prostrate myself before him. Pour Campbell’s Chunky Stew on my head and make me fetch the paper! I’m down with it. (Huh?)

Hit the jump for the glory. Steel yourself tho, you’re not worthy.

Harlan Ellison’s classic ‘STAR TREK’ SCRIPT getting COMIC

The City on the Edge of Forever.

Way back before Star Trek was known for cheap tit-shots and Benjamin Cucumber playing a monotone piece of disaster fanservice, it was known for its thoughts, its ability to interrogate society, offer new ideas, often from some great voices. One of those voices was Harlan Ellison, whose classic Star Trek script is getting the comic book treatment.

Sean Murphy’s cover returns us to the ‘REIGN OF SUPERMEN.’

Reign of Supermen!

This is the difference between being young, bright-eyed, idealistic, and old, fat, and cynical. When I was a youngin’, the Reign of Supermen was fucking awesome. If it happened now, I’d spit on the ground and curse the Powers That Be like a loser. Sean Murphy’s recently revealed cover is able to temporarily recuperate my broken spirit. Calling me back to the olden days.

Image Comics Publisher ERIC STEPHENSON talks some truth about comics gimmick bulls**t

Eric Stephenson.

Eric Stephenson came out to address ComicsPRO retailers today, and the Bro Who Ushers In A New Image Renaissance was lobbing bombs. Just giggling as he laced his right-hooks with truth serum. Burying his knuckles deep in the sloppy stomach of comic book excess. His remarks give me somewhat of a boner. But I’m a child.

WARREN ELLIS got new comic ‘TREES’ coming from IMAGE. Jason Howard on art.

trees

Fuggity fuck yes! Warren Ellis is getting back into the creator-owned comics game. Ellis along with Jason Howard is bringing Trees to Image, and you can probably feel the Force-ripples from my cascading dong thunder from wherever you are. While I’m pretty “meh” about his latest novel, and really “ehhhh” about Moon Knight, the author diving back into the world of his own sequential-art-creations is fantastigasm.
