Jonathan Hickman reveals new comic, ‘Frontier’, like Star Trek but “super depressing”
I’m pretty much down for anything Jonathan Hickman does. So giving me some sort of failed-stated Star Trek riff? Sold.

Jeff Lemire reveals ‘Royal City’ for Image; inspired by ‘Six Feet Under’ and ‘Transparent’
If I wasn’t a bag of shit! Oh, if I wasn’t a bag of shit, the things I would do. Eat better. Swear less. Read more Jeff Lemire comic books. Like Descender. Finish Sweet Tooth. Dude is fantastic. And now he’s got another title to challenge me with, Royal City.
Comic Book Sales are the Highest they’ve been in 20 Years
I’m not an economist, I’m too lazy to really dig in-depth into what this news means, so I’m just going to make like a good Millennial. Read the headline, browse the content, and fit the story to my own agenda. Comic books are doing well, fuck yeah!
Leaked: Full Marvel NOW! 2.0 Line-Up, including Promo Art
I’m, I’m pretty much done with superhero comic books. I say pretty much because if anything comes out of the box and is generally regarded as “must read” by folks I respect, I’m going to buy it. Ain’t gonna cut my fanboy nose to spite my fat fanboy face. But as far as the monthly procurement policy? Passing. This isn’t a moral stand, or even a condemnation of the titles, just a general apathy from me. This is a long way of saying that I’m not really feeling the Marvel NOW! 2.0 line-up in either way, but I hope it fucking rocks, and gets me to buy me some superhero funny books.
Marvel’s next Iron Man is Riri Williams, a 15 Year-Old Black Girl who attends MIT
Marvel has announced that the next Iron Man is going to be Riri Williams. I’m not familiar with. But apparently she’s a Stark-level genius African American girl who attends MIT. I can dig it.
Marvel announces new series ‘Champions’ featuring its teen heroes
Yeah, man! Futz those old fuddy-duddy teams featuring Grandpa Rogers and Uncle Stark. Marvel’s new collection of teen heroes ain’t got time for them squares! They’re forming their own team, the brash-as-fuckly titled Champions.
‘U.S.Avengers’ is Marvel’s new ‘Avengers’ squad and its so odd that I’m in
First typical liberal Anarchist response to U.S.Avengers? What is this typical jingoistic garbage? But then I saw Red Hulk rocking sunglasses and a serious amounts of ammo across his chest. I was sold. Like, seriously. What an odd ball group of heroes, what an odd ball idea.
Fraction, Zdarsky, and Wu announce new comic, ‘THE RECIDIVIST’
How the fuck was this buried by the comic book news? You know! The ones that enter the news bits initially into the fucking echo chamber?! For me to pick-up? Matt Fraction, Chip Zdarsky, and Annie Wu are teaming up for a new superhero comic.
Chuck Palahniuk publishing Adult Coloring Book through Dark Horse Comics
Chuck Palahniuk is publishing an adult coloring book. Take that for what you will. Through Dark Horse comics. I will not buy it. For myself. But maybe I will buy it for my wife.
‘Battlestar Galactic’ comic being relaunched at Dynamite Entertainment
I probably won’t read the Battlestar comic. That said, I imagine it is going to be considerably better than whatever the Bryan Singer-produced movie reboot is going to puke up. I mean, Cullen Bunn and Alex Sanchez rule. But I’m hesitant to overwrite my fond, fond memories of the RDM. This is more a personal flaw than anything.
