Comments: Skye teleport’s to a beach, who or why she teleport’s there is not explained. She finds Sandstorm there a villain who just killed lots of people. His sand worms look like smaller versions of the ones from Dune. Skye and Sandstorm battle but the fight does not last long. Apparently Skye has some sort of magical powers. If your not following her in the Zenescope comics you will be totally lost about who she is. The art on Sandstorm comes across pretty coolly but the rest is lacking.
After the story there are tons of gorgeous pin-ups by various artists. Cinderella with her asset in the air is drawn beautiful and sexy by Alfredo Reyes with colors by Sanju Nivangune. Alice Liddle is illustrated as a blue eyed babe by Chris Ehnot with colors by David Delanty. Angelica “Hellchild” Blackstone is drawn in a lovely purple bikini by Mindy Wheeler. Zamora with her loin cloth and green skin makes a primitive beauty by RB White with colors by Ceci de la Cruz. Belle is drawn with the most lovely wings they seem to glow, artwork by RB White with colors by Ceci de la Cruz. There are many many more as well, all beautiful sensual women. All of them are fairy tale characters and brought to life in these pin-ups by many talented artists.

Comments: “Phase 3: Solid Ghost” An Electroencephalography Scientist robot he can control with just his mind. This is a look at the past and how Arrowhead was back then. In the present Cody is the new Arrowhead. Who or what is Ookpik? Arrowhead looks amazing in his suit. The other robot is illustrated in a retro style that is beautifully done.
“Mob Mentality Part 3” When Jack and Andy aka Dominion Jack and Mob got their powers it changed both their lives forever.
Mob has his own super powered team and they are meant to break a person’s spirit. Jack has faith in his friend that he can bring him back to the side of good. The super powered team could have been illustrated better and with more imagination going into creating their costumes and looks.
“A night at the Ecomuseum Part 2” Le Fantome and Samurai Diable meet the villain Monsieur Royale. Monsieur Royle can control animals. The animals are illustrated great as fearsome beasts, the people including the heroes are illustrated to vague. Another hero shows up Love Tap. She is cute and illustrated stoutly.

Comments: “Phase 2: Dawn of the Biodrones” The story starts off jumping from one time and city to another. Your interest will be peaked to know how these events are connected. Arrowhead must contend with sleeper agents here. Not much action and not much of a story. The characters though are good they just need to be used better.
“Mob Mentality Part 2” Dominion Jack faces off against Mob. They talk more than they fight. Mob is shown using his powers in a unique way, Jack attacks with just one hit. We could really use a little background on these characters. The art could have been better used to show off the characters.
“A Night at the Ecomuseum Part 1” Le Fantome and Samurai Diable both want to solve the missing animals crime. Both these heroes are illustrated in a nondynamic way. They need to be drawn more exciting. Le Fantome is a super-hero of the night and a mysterious one but still knowing more about her would help the reader to care more about her.

I backed the Kickstarter for Dan Brereton's latest Nocturnals graphic novel, Sinster Path. The Kindle/Comixology versions are available now, and the hardcover should soon be available to the nonbacker public.

If you're not familiar with horror/pulp/superhero mashup The Nocturnals, you might want to read this post first.  If you are, then you know Brereton presents his tough guy underworld where super-science and magic exist in a matter of fact way, without a lot of explanation. Sinister Path continues this tradition, so no one evidences any surprise when Doc Horror and his crew head into the mansion of a deceased judge to get the files of dirt he kept on various underworld and government figures and encounter supernatural menaces. All in a days work for a werewolf/mob enforcer/scientist from a parallel dimension!

If that makes the Nocturnals sound like camp, it is not. The tone is serious for the most part, and Brereton makes his unusual concept work. His moody and lurid art probably helps.


Sinster Path could be read as a standalone, but it's probably, but best to start a little earlier so you know the relationships. It's fairly open-ended, promising more to come.

RAGMAN #1 of 6
War vet Rory Regan is plagued by the death of his time after a failed mission to find a hidden treasure in the Israeli desert,” reads the description of the series. “While battling survivor’s guilt back home in Gotham City, Regan discovers that he actually bought the treasure back home with him, in the form of the Suit of Souls. The Suit of Souls has the ability to trap and collect the souls of others, including those of his dead partners.
With the aid of his dead teammates, Rory begins to learn more about the abilities of the suit, when something evil begins to brew in Gotham. An evil demon from hell wants the Suit of Souls, and is sending his minions to retrieve it for him. Now Rory must learn how to use the suit and its powers to stop these evil forces from invading Gotham City before it’s too late.

Dark Horse Comics Announces Spinoffs from the Acclaimed, Creator Owned Series by Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston, Beginning with “Sherlock Frankenstein & The Legion of Evil” by Jeff Lemire and David Rubín

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (July 11, 2017)—Writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dean Ormston have captivated readers and critics alike with their “sad, dark, and brilliant”* creator owned superhero saga Black Hammer, which follows the forgotten champions of Spiral City long after the age of heroes has passed. This fall, Dark Horse Comics will expand the universe of the Black Hammer with Sherlock Frankenstein & The Legion of Evil, written by Lemire and illustrated by artist David Rubín, for the first of several high profile mini-series featuring different artists. While the main, Eisner-nominated Black Hammer series focuses on the heroes of Spiral City—Abraham Slam, Golden Gail, Colonel Weird, Madame Dragonfly, and Barbalien—Sherlock Frankenstein & The Legion of Evil reveals the secret origins of the Black Hammer’s greatest villains.

“While working on Black Hammer I found myself having more and more ideas for other types of superhero stories,” said Lemire. “The main Black Hammer story continues to be the spine of these ideas, but I found them branching off into new directions and new characters as well. It occurred to me that there was a whole history here, a whole superhero universe all of our own, that I could explore and create within. So, Dean Ormston and I have decided to expand the world of Black Hammer and create an avenue to tell these other stories. The first mini-series will be Sherlock Frankenstein & The Legion of Evil, which will be illustrated by the incomparable David Rubín.”

“Lemire and Ormston have created a distinctive look and feel for Black Hammer,” said David Rubín. “When designing characters like The Horseless Rider, Doctor Star, Wingman and Black Stallion, I wanted to match the wonderful weirdness of the Black Hammer’s rogue gallery featured in Sherlock Frankenstein & The Legion of Evil.”

“Lucy Weber, the daughter of the Black Hammer, is an investigative newspaper reporter, and her search for the truth about her father leads her to some very dark places,” said Dean Ormston. “In Sherlock Frankenstein & The Legion of Evil, Lucy heads to Spiral City’s infamous asylum to confront the world’s greatest super villains and the secrets they have locked away.”

“Black Hammer follows in the proud tradition of creator owned comics published by Dark Horse,” said Dark Horse Comics President and Publisher Mike Richardson. “Like its many fans, I can’t wait to see what Jeff, Dean and the all star artists have in store for us as the expanded Black Hammer universe unfolds.”

“The World of Black Hammer has become my favorite place to be,” said Lemire. “The last thing I want to do is exploit the fans of Black Hammer with needless spin offs or tie-ins that they have to read to get the whole story. So, these new mini-series, like the regular ongoing Black Hammer series, will stand alone and tell complete, self-contained stories.”

Dark Horse Comics will publish the debut issue of the four issue Sherlock Frankenstein & The Legion of Evil mini-series on October 18, featuring a main cover by Rubín and a variant cover by legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola.

YOUR PAL ARCHIE is a new comic book series launching on July 26th!

New 10-Episode Series from Universal Cable Productions and Dark Horse Entertainment

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (July 11, 2017)—Netflix, the world’s leading internet TV network, will bring the ten-episode series The Umbrella Academy to members worldwide in 2018.

Based on the popular, Eisner award-winning comics and graphic novels created and written by Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) and illustrated by Gabriel Bá, The Umbrella Academy is a live action series that follows the estranged members of a dysfunctional family of superheroes (The Umbrella Academy) — The Monocle, Spaceboy, The Kraken, The Rumor, The Séance, Number Five, The Horror, and The White Violin — as they work together to solve their father’s mysterious death while coming apart at the seams due to their divergent personalities and abilities. Published by Dark Horse Comics, the comic series garnered much praise from fans and critics alike for its alternate and twisted take on the superhero genre.

“I am thrilled that The Umbrella Academy has found a home at Netflix. I couldn’t think of a better place for the vision Gabriel Bá and myself had when creating the comic, and cannot wait for people to experience that world as a live action show,” said Gerard Way.

“What drew us to The Umbrella Academy is that it’s wholly unique, visual and stylized,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President, Original Content for Netflix. “These aren’t the usual superheroes and the series will embrace the singular tone of the graphic novels — dark yet humorous, supernatural yet grounded in reality. We’re excited to see this world and introduce these unforgettable heroes to Netflix members around the globe.”

“It’s a thrill to be producing this wonderful show for Netflix,” said Jeff Wachtel, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, and President, Universal Cable Productions. “It’s been a passion project for the UCP development crew and we can’t wait to bring it to life.”

The Umbrella Academy will be produced by Universal Cable Productions. Steve Blackman (Fargo, Altered Carbon) will serve as executive producer and showrunner, with additional executive producers Bluegrass Television and Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg from Dark Horse Entertainment. Gerard Way will serve as co-executive producer. The pilot script was adapted from the comic book series by Jeremy Slater (The Exorcist).

To celebrate this exciting news, Dark Horse is offering San Diego Comic-Con attendees the chance to meet Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá! On Friday, July 21 from 11:00 to 11:50 a.m., Dark Horse will welcome Gerard and Gabriel for a special wristband-only signing at Booth #2615 at the San Diego Convention Center. Wristbands will be distributed by a random drawing in the Dark Horse Comics Booth #2615 on both Thursday (July 20) and Friday (July 21) morning while supplies last.

PORTLAND, OR, 07/11/2017 — Fan-favorite writer Jim Zub (WAYWARD, Uncanny Avengers) and artist Djibril Morissette-Phan (All-New Wolverine, Ultimates) will kick off a new story arc in their ongoing tale of twisted fame and failure GLITTERBOMB this September from Image Comics.

Kaydon Klay wants to be famous. She wants it more than anything else she’s ever known. The dream is hers for the taking, and all she has to do is embrace the national tragedy that’s put her in the spotlight…

“Kaydon Klay’s story is rooted in our national obsession with horrifying events—a parade of pain trotted out for the relentless 24-hour news cycle,” said Zub. “It’s about the fear of not feeling special, set against the all-seeing spotlight of instant media attention, all wrapped up with a supernatural spin.”

“If you enjoyed our first mini-series, this one’s going to get its hooks into you again,” added Zub. “If you didn’t read GLITTERBOMB, THE FAME GAME provides a fresh jumping-on point, giving you all the backstory you need and a new focal point character to follow along with.”

GLITTERBOMB: THE FAME GAME #1 Cover A by Morissette-Phan (Diamond code: JUL170704) and Cover B by Rebecca Puebla (Diamond code: JUL170705) will hit stores Wednesday, September 20th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, August 28th.

Titan’s New All-American Hero Debuts at SDCC With Special Cover By Terry Dodson!

 

(July 11, 2017) – Titan Comics is thrilled to announce that fans attending San Diego Comic-Con will be able to get a first look at Titan Comics’ new FIGHTING AMERICAN series with a convention special Issue #0 featuring a black and white pencil cover by comic book legend, Terry Dodson!

 

Joe Simon & Jack Kirby’s Fighting American first appeared in May 1954, and was the embodiment of the homegrown, patriotic, apple pie-eating American superhero. Fighting American brought square-jawed justice to “the Commies” and villains such as Double Header, Hotsky Trotsky, and Round Robin.

 

In Titan Comics’ new Fighting American series, written by Gordon Rennie (2000AD, Starship Troopers) with artwork by Duke Mighten (Judge Dredd), the story continues after Simon and Kirby’s legendary 1954 series…
