New Comics This Wednesday, Apr. 11

Conan #3This week looks to be a very interesting week for comics! We’ll start with Marvel and Secret Service #1 (of 7), a new series from writer Mark Millar and legendary Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons! Also look for Mighty Thor #12.1, obviously a good place to jump on, and Journey into Mystery #636, consistently one of our favorite titles. Plus, there’s Avengers Assemble #2, New Avengers #24 (an AVX tie-in), Uncanny X-Men #10, Wolverine #304, Winter Soldier #4 and more!

And, as a segue from Marvel to DC, look for new animated series from both publishers in the form of Marvel Universe Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes #1 and Green Lantern The Animated Series #1!

As for DC, it looks like a solid week for the Bat-books as we’re set to get Batman: Arkham Unhinged #1, a new series based on the Arkham City video game, Batman and Robin #8, Batgirl #8, Batwoman #8, and the second volume of new editions of Batman: No Man’s Land. Also, Shade #7 (of 12), Saucer Country #2, Green Lantern #8, Superboy #8 and Unwritten #36!

For the second week in a row, Image has a solid week lined up as well! Starting with Saga #2, the first issue of which was very strong, Thief of Thieves #3, America’s Got Powers #1 (pictured, from writer/Brit talk show host Jonathan Ross), Secret #1 (from writer Jonathan Hickman), and the trade paperback of Strange Talent of Luther Strode!

Throw in Conan the Barbarian #3, Cobra Ongoing #12, Bionic Woman #1 and Crossed Badlands #3 for a darn good week!

The full list follows…

Looking Forward to June: Marvel Comics

Spider-Men #1It’s time once again to begin our monthly foray into the comics we’re excited about down the road! These are the early indicators for the titles that might eventually find their way into our Highlights section or the Best Book Nominees or, if they’re really something, into the TPBs and Graphic Novels section! Starting as usual with Marvel Comics and a mysterious teaser…


SPIDER-MEN #1 (OF 5)

This June – history will be made for the Marvel Universe.


Well, not much is actually known about this title, though it’s been teased in Marvel books for the last little while. Based on the fact that the creative team of Bendis and Pichelli is the same team behind the relaunch of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, I would have guessed that this series is based in the Ultimate Universe, with one of the "Spider-Men" being Miles Morales. But the solicit appeared in the Amazing Spider-Man section of Marvel Previews and the text specifically says Marvel Universe. So… your guess is as good as mine!

News Roundup – April 8, 2012

Master of the UniverseJames Robinson and Philip Tan will be teaming up together for the six-issue mini-series Masters of the Universe. This will be a He-Man re-imaging under DC Comics that has Skeletor having taken over Eternia and the heroes that once stood against him having no knowledge of who they once were. Sounds interesting, but not as interesting as having Robinson and Tan be the ones to make this happen! Look for it in July.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off mini-series Drusilla has been indefinitely postponed due to scheduling conflicts. Dark Horse stated they will review the situation and solicit at a later date.

Brian Michael Bendis will be writing a “How To” guide to writing comic books based on the classes he teaches at Portland State University. Love him or hate him, you cannot deny his success!

There is an upcoming Green Lantern Event called the Third Army. Geoff Johns provided an interview that teased the upcoming event at Newsarama.

In July Dynamite Entertainment and Top Cow Productions will release the Witchblade: Demon Reborn one-shot from writer Ande Parks and illustrated by Jose Luis. The issue is a sequel to Mark Millar and Jae Lee’s Witchblade: Demon story which will also be included in the one-shot! I’d be interested in reading that.
