This Week in Comics - February 25th

Sweet Release of the Week

Alright folks this is the week we've been waiting for since Edge of the Spider-verse #3, that's right Spider-Gwen #1 has released.  I got a chance to read it last night and, like her initial appearance, things have taken a bit of a right turn as familiar characters go.  Let's just say it seems like in Gwen's version of the Marvel Universe, the Fantastic Four didn't form.  With that out of the way, let's move on to next week.  Next week is the beginning of the pseudo-reboot of the smash hit Hawkeye with All New Hawkeye #1.  We also get Princess Leia #1 and Saga #26, so keep an eye out for those issues.


Now I'm Gonna Sing the Doom Song!

Back on February 20th there was a tweet that was very Invader Zim-looking from Oni Press simply stating that Doom is Coming.  So there were rampant rumors that Oni had gotten the publishing rights to the Nickelodeon cartoon Invader Zim. The original tweet was also retweeted by Zim creator Jhonen Vasquez, which added more fuel to the fire. As of the 23rd of February we have confirmation that Zim will be gracing the pages of his own comic in July. As to whether it will be an ongoing or a mini-series or something in-between is yet to be seen, but GIR is almost guaranteed to be singing the Doom song alongside his master.

Stay Classy Denizens!

This Week in Comics - February 18th

Big News of the Week

This week was a bit quiet in terms of book releases. There was a high number of Bat-Family and Super-Family books as well as Captain America titles. The newest Doctor Who issue is out and continues the 10th Doctor's dealings with the Weeping Angels during the First World War. Next week we'll see the wrap up of the Spider-Verse story line in Amazing Spider-Man #15 and Spider-Gwen's block busting debut! Watch for Spider-gwen #1 out February 25th.



A New X-Man for Apocalypse has Been Revealed!

A few weeks ago, Bryan Singer revealed his casting for younger Jean, Scott and Storm via tumbler, now we see another mutant casting revealed the same way. This time is everybody's favorite blue Bamfer, Nightcrawler. The last time we saw Nightcrawler in a live action movie was X2: X-Men United, played by Alan Cumming. Young Kurt Wagner will be played by Kodi Smit-McPhee, who I honestly haven't seen in anything other than ParaNorman. Here's a quick Bleeding Cool Snippet about this latest casting news.

This Week In Comics - February 11th

Sweet Releases of the Week

This week was a slightly light week in terms of number of unique titles released, but there were a few books out that are worth a read. First off is one that I can always vouch for when it comes out is Jim Butcher's Dresden Files. They've been doing mini-series based on the urban fantasy novels about Harry Dresden for a few years now, and they always seem to hit it out of the park in terms of getting the personalities and looks of the characters down. With that said The Dresden Files: Downtown #1 has released this week! Next is Walking Dead #137. All I've got to say about that one is it seems Carl is on his way to being a man. Finally is Harley's Valentine's Special, which again is well worth the read. Next week we'll get more Harley Quinn variant covers! Make sure you go to our website to see what's set to release.


Spider-Man is Coming Home!
It's about time, but Spidey returns home to the Marvel Cinematic Universe of sorts. Sony and Marvel will share the Friendly Neighborhood Wall Crawler. What I can gather is that anything Spider-Man centric (including villains and side characters) will be released by Sony and anything else will be put out by Marvel. I for one am looking forward to see how Spidey is handled.

Weekly Comics Post - February 4th

Big News of the Week
Hey guys, first off we've had another shipping error this week, and unfortunately that means that we didn't get Saga #25 today, but we will hopefully get them in Thursday the 5th. Now on to next week. Just in time for Valentine's Day we get the Harley Quinn Valentine's Special, so make sure you keep an eye on that one.  We also get the newest entries of the Spider-verse (in Amazing Spider-man #13) and the newest issue of the Walking Dead (#137).




What the Duck?!?
The mystery has been solved of what Marvel's WTD themed variant covers will be in April. Originally it was thought that the D would stand for Deadpool, but instead it stands for duck, more specifically, Howard the Duck.  Howard will be gracing the variant covers of several Marvel books in April and they're to celebrate Howard getting his own book within the same general time. I can't speak for how many standard covers I'll have to order for the WTD books, but I will attempt to get some for anyone who's interested!  Here's a link to a Bleeding Cool article with the released covers thus far.

This Week In Comics - January 28th




Big News of the Week
First off due to "Snow-maggedon 2015" our books this week have either not gotten here yet or have just been put out. As of writing this post at 10:30 AM on the 28th they have yet to arrive. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause some of you. The books will be available either later today or at some point tomorrow.

On the bright side the Harley Quinn variant covers for the DC books starts next week! We're also set to get in the next Squirrel Girl issue and the sequel to the superhero/zombie book Night of the Living Deadpool, with Return of the Living Deadpool #1 next week so keep an eye out for that one!

Who Ya Gonna Call?
Well we now officially/unofficially have our all female cast for the Ghostbusters reboot directed by Paul Feig of Bridesmaids fame.  Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones will be the roster for the reboot ghost hunters. Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy aren't huge surprises because their names have been more or less attached to the project since it was announced, but the surprises are Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones (both are current cast members on SNL). I'm definitely looking forward to the reboot just to see how they pull this off. As far as the villains of the movie go, there's yet to be any definitive casting, but they have a wish list for actors. For the Walter Peck-like human antagonist Feig said he'd like to have Peter Venkman himself step into the role, which is very meta-textual seeing as how Bill Murray's relationship with any Ghostbusters related movies have been of late. The other villain, which naturally will be a ghost, would hopefully go to Game of Thrones stand out Peter Dinklage. If you'd like to read a little more, here's an Ain't It Cool News Article on the big announcement.

This Week In Comics - January 21st



New Releases of the Week!

This week we get to see the beginning of the Galaxy Quest comic and the next couple of entries into the Spider-verse. Galaxy Quest: The Journey Continues #1 looks like it picks right up after the movie and takes up the premise. When I originally heard this book was being made I thought it might be centered on the Star Trek like TV show characters as opposed to the actors, but not the case. As fall out from the movie, bad things happen to our intrepid crew!

Also out this week is Amazing Spider-Man #13, the next main entry into Marvel's Spider-verse event.  Within the pages of this book we'll see at lease some resolution to the big reveal at the end of last week's entry!

Crisis on Infinite Marvel Earths?!?

Marvel recently released more information on their upcoming summer event, Secret War, along with an interactive version of the Battleworld map. Shortly after, Marvel also announced that the event will also lead to a soft reboot of the universe in which the 616 universe (the original) and the Ultimate universe were to come together as one. If this sounds vaguely familiar, then you've probably read DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths. Naturally it won't be identical, but Secret War will almost assuredly serve the same purpose, restart the universe without completely ignoring ALL continuity. Make sure to keep an eye out for this when Time Runs Out.

This Week In Comics - January 14th

May the Force be with you!

It's January 14th and you know what that means!  Star Wars #1 from Marvel is finally here and it looks amazing.  Written perfectly by Jason Aaron and drawn beautifully by John Cassiday, I can say that this book reads like a continuation of the original film.  There doesn't seem to be a focus on any one of the core group, which is exactly what's needed from this book.  Make sure you come in to pick this book up!  Visit our site for what's going on today!


That's how they're referencing them?

So there may be extremely minor spoilers in this one, but only very minor.  In the newest issue of Spider-verse we get references to Turn Off the Dark, Electric Company and both movie versions of Spider-Man.  For Turn Off the Dark and Electric Company Spideys the references are spot on and funny.  As far as the movie versions, they are pretty spot on and funny, but there are so many other funnier references to be had with them. Ugly crying, disco dancer for Toby Maguire anyone?  Here's the link to a quick article about it.

Weekly Comics Update - January 7

Happy New Year and Some New Books!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year and a great holiday prior.  Next week is going to be a doozy in terms of new books.  First off is Marvel's return to the greatest of space sagas in Star Wars #1.  We've got a plethora of things planned for that release along with some sales. The event lineup is viewable on this page of our website! For more comics next week you can always visit our Upcoming Comics page!

Is it Too Late to Change the Name?

If you told me from 10 years ago that one of the most anticipated movies of this summer is Ant-Man, I'd call you crazy.  Well, we're all crazy, and they've officially put out a human sized movie trailer for said movie.  It looks like it will have a similar tone to the first Iron Man, where it won't take itself super seriously.  I'll admit that I would've liked to have seen Eric O'Grady appear as the movie Ant-Man, but that's neither here nor there. Note that Ant-Man #1 is in-store this week! Here's a link to view the trailer.
