Marvel reveals new comic series, ‘Vote Loki’, dropping in June
Marvel’s capitalizing on the current election cycle with a new comic series, Vote Loki. It may seem like a goddamn disaster to vote for the Asgardian trickster, but he would fit right in with [insert comment about how sad our own current presidential election cycle is is], and he’d still be miles better than [stock Trump winning election quip].
Jim Lee will be artist on ‘Suicide Square’ during DC’s “Rebirth” Relaunch, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t fuck with Jim Lee. I’ve caught flack for that around these parts in the past, so let me say: I respect him, and his influence on the comic book landscape. But as far as his art? Eh. But as far as his presence on a title drawing me towards a purchase. Nah.
Image reveals “Image+”, a monthly magazine with exclusive content
Image has revealed Image+, a monthly magazine similar to Marvel Previews. Truthfully, I don’t really know what the fuck Marvel Previews contains, so that comparison doesn’t really help me (maybe it helps you). But I do know that Image+ will contain “exclusive interviews, spotlight features, bonus never-before-seen preview pages, editorials from industry voices, and more in-depth, insightful and provocative comics coverage”, which seems neat enough. I mean! Provocation! Insight!
DC Announces “Rebirth” line; returning “Legacy” to Universe, original numbering to certain titles
DC has revealed their “Rebirth” line dropping this year. It’s a bit interesting. The company is looking to return the “legacy” to their universe by acknowledging past events, returning Action and Detective to their original numbering, and introducing some twice-monthly titles.
Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver tease new DC project in the ‘Rebirth’ series
Today, the talents behind Green Lantern: Rebirth and Flash: Rebirth teased a new…Rebirth series. Say Rebirth again, Ian. Rebirth! Fuck!
Marvel reveals new ‘Thunderbolts’ comic, starring Winter Soldier as leader
Bucky Barnes is my Captain America!, man. But until he can fulfill that role in the movies (I’m. Waiting.), I imagine I will have to be happy to accept him as the Winter Soldier in the comics too. Speaking of Barnes in comics, it appears that he’s going to be leading a new iteration of Thunderbolts.
Marvel announces Poe Dameron ongoing comic series by Soule & Noto
Poe Dameron got himself an ongoing comic book series coming down the pipe, courtesy of Soule and Noto. I don’t know if I’ll be checking it out, cause Christ, I can barely keep up with what I’m “actively reading” these days. But any comic book featuring Phil Noto artwork is tempting.
Marvel comics promo: “Dead No More”
Go figure! Someone is coming back from the death. What character could they be resurrecting? Who the fuck knows. I would humbly appreciate a return of Logan, but that is me. How about you?
Jeff Lemire’s ‘Essex County’ being adapted for TV
I love Jeff Lemire, and I love his continued success. Which reminds me, even though I recently read Essex County, I should probably polish off my back issues of Descender (also being adapted).
