Weekly Comics Update


Last weekend..

 ... was the first ever Image Expo out in California. It was a con dedicated to Image, their legacy, their product and their creators. Lots of news came pouring out, some of which you can read here. Any news that includes new Tony Harris artwork brings joy to my empty soul, and oh-so-black heart. :) He DID draw over half of STARMAN as Loyal Reserivst Steve G will recall:


Oooh. Pretty.

I've been harping on..

... SAGA, the new series by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, but I just caught something in an interview that I need to point out.

This is NOT going to be an "all-ages" book. It looks like it'll be Vertigo-esque in tone, which means adult content, some nudity, etc. I mean, the cover does include a woman breast-feeding. Vaughan talks a little bit more about the book in an interview here. But don't forget, it's 44 pages, for 3 bucks, and no ads. Still a great offer.

Next week's books...

...  are posted. Lots of goodies coming out, going to be a good week.

Avengers vs. X-Men...

... is coming soon. Variant covers will be available in limited quantities. Normally, we don't allow pre-ordering on these (or, in the case of the New 52 Second Wave e-mail I sent out earlier this week, there's a special offer attached at the bottom) but this is the rare case where I can order as many as I want of certain variants

If you want to subscribe to Avengers vs. X-Men regular series, click here.
If you want to pull a copy of the Avengers vs. X-men "Avengers Team Variant", click here.
If you want to pull a copy of the Avengers vs. X-men "X-Men Team Varaint", click here.
If you want to pull a copy of the Avengers vs. X-men "Blank Variant", click here.

After next Monday, March 5th, I will not be able to guarantee requests for these titles.

What I've been reading & watching:

  1. Thoughts on the future of back issues.
  2. What order should the Star Wars movies be watched in? An alternate theory.
  3. 10 years ago, we thought tv was heralding the next age of great space opera. What happened?
  4. You'll need tissues for this one: Cancer-striken fan of Harry Turtledove's alt-history fiction gets sneak peek at new novel.
  5. THE NEW AVENGERS TRAILER. ohmyguhsoawesome.
  6. Brian Wood shares how the cover to his new series THE MASSIVE came to be. Great deconstruction here, art fans should take a peek, includes commentary.
  7. Anyone else see AWAKE on Wednesday night? That was Lucius Malfoy from the Harry Potter movies, btw. Great pilot, I'm interested to see where they go from here.

You DID see that special offer...

... at the bottom of the New 52 2nd Wave e-mail, right? I know Loyal Reservists Ken S., Doug S. and Patrick B. did!

Here's the link, in case you missed it.

Be good.
