An interesting enough science fiction premise, with just a hint of an apocalyptic future. Could be worth checking out. “Panacea Cryonics offered its customers life after death by keeping their heads frozen until the day technology could rebuild them, free of disease and death. However, as these everyday people from the past are revived, they’re not handed the keys to a new life, but a gun, body armor and an ultimatum. They must fight in a war against unknown opponents for unknown reasons, to secure their place in a brave new world that doesn’t want them around. From Chris Sebela, writer of Blue Beetle, Kiss/Vampirella and Evolution, and Hayden Sherman, artist of The Few and John Carter The End, comes […]

This looks pretty cool…Vikings vs. aliens. I’m getting a little X-O MANOWAR vibe, which is one of my favorite comic series. Definitely worth a look. “When a fleet of spaceships crashes into northern Europe in 956 AD, a group of unlikely Viking heroes are the last line of defense against a brutal intergalactic warlord. Equal parts science fiction and fantasy, The Spider King follows the adventures of Viking warriors as they defend their world against alien invaders armed with futuristic technology and impossible weapons. ?Vikings vs. aliens. ?Issue #1 features 26 pages of story. ?Reprinting the critically acclaimed, award-nominated Kickstarter graphic novel. ?Perfect for fans of Vikings, Conan the Barbarian, or Hellboy.” Buy It Now

This is exciting! A 20-volume series of classic Robotech reprints. Released on a quarterly schedule, it’ll take 5 years to collect them all. Buckle up, buttercup, this’ll take a while. But, I’ll bet most will be interested mainly in the original Comico issues which adapted the U.S. television cartoon series. That’ll be just the first seven volumes. “The Robotech animated series is legendary – And now you can immerse yourself in the classic comics which recreated the legends. A new series of books collecting classic Robotech material, most of which are out of print of have never been previously published. Featuring classic Robotech fan-favourite creators such as Carl Macek, Jack Herman, Mike Leeke and Neil Vokes.” Buy It Now Related […]

Thank you very much…and we’ll be needing a lot more than one-shot of Krusty The Clown! “Krusty the Clown finds himself alone and wandering the empty streets of Springfield, not a friend, neighbor, debt collector, or annoying fan in sight. All that he is left with are his memories of a life in showbiz lived to the fullest-a little song, a little dance, and a little seltzer down his pants. But where did all the people go? It would appear that he is the Laugh Man on Earth.” Buy It Now Related shopping tags: SIMPSONS

Joss Whedon himself writes a new Buffyverse mini-series about Buffy Summers’ mentor and surrogate father figure…Rupert Giles. The Buffyverse is still going strong in comic book form! “From Joss Whedon and Erika Alexander comes a series that returns Buffy’s Rupert Giles to high school. But this time–as a grown man living in a teenage body–Giles will be a student instead of a teacher. At an inner-city LA-area school, when a mystical influence is detected and teachers start to go missing, Giles enrolls to investigate. What he finds is more than vampires and demons; something unusual and frightening is happening here. If Giles can get through one day as a student, he’ll have a chance to find out who, what, and […]

Another ongoing X-Men title! The team is a perfect mix of old heads and greenhorns: Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Namor, Wolverine (Laura Kinney), a Wakandan mutant named Gentle, one of Laura’s clone sisters named Gabby, and a brand new character named Trinary. Jean Grey leads the new team of X-Men in a story that will feature “new uniforms, a new team headquarters, and exciting new characters,” as well as “dynamic hero moments, great character interactions, and a surprise villain at the end.” I’m actually pretty excited for this one. I really like how they’ve mixed seasoned X-Men with fresh meat. “The Hate Machine Part 1 THE FIRST SENSATIONAL ARC OF AN ALL-NEW TEAM OF X-MEN STARTS HERE. JEAN GREY is back. […]
