Hmm, this looks exactly like what it’s titled–the fantasy role-play genre crossed with the modern world–a la ‘modern fantasy.’ I don’t know anything about the creators, but it looks like it could be worth a look. “A young Ranger woman who came to the city with dreams of adventure, her drug dealing reptilian wizard roommate, and her boisterous Dwarf maiden BFF embark on a modern day quest to save the world while struggling to keep their crappy day jobs and pay off their student loans. The roommates become embroiled in danger when one of their significant others finds himself taken by criminals, and the trio must save him. From the creator of Henchgirl.

Read the solicitation description of this one, and tell me this doesn’t sound somewhat important to the DC Universe as a whole. Interesting, for sure. “In the aftermath of DARK NIGHTS: METAL, the DC Universe has been forever changed as new heroes are called out of the shadows. Amid this all is Janet Fals…Firebrand. Once a paramedic dedicated to saving lives, she must now start a fight once every 24 hours to feed the Conflict Engine that’s replaced her heart. But Janet’s heart isn’t just a curse-it’s a beacon, drawing out both the mysterious Neon the Unknown and the seductive, malevolent Bad Samaritan. One of them wants to cut out her heart, the other wants to save it-but neither of […]

This is some crazy-looking, intriguing stuff from the likes of Neil Gaiman. “These dark and imaginative tales feature an odd and subtly linked world of bizarre venereal diseases, a creepy old woman who feasts on raw meat, a man obsessed with a skin model from a magazine, and a story within a story about ghosts. From Hugo, Eisner, Newbery, Harvey, Bram Stoker, Locus, World Fantasy, and Nebula award-winning author Neil Gaiman and his longtime, Eisner award-winning collaborator Mark Buckingham (Fables) comes a graphic novel not to be missed.” Buy It Now Related shopping tags: NEIL GAIMAN (W)

I pretty much love anything with swords in it, so this looks pretty good! “The Forty Swords came at night and murdered the entire village, save for two people: the infant Elsbeth and her grief-stricken father, Dag.

A Viking revenge saga inspired by Lone Wolf and Cub. 28 page issues. Deluxe cover stock.” Buy It Now Related shopping tags: BRIAN […]

It’s not enough to launch an all-new DEADPOOL series this month. We need a new mini-series as well. You know, cause there’s a new Deadpool movie coming out. So, you have to have saturate the market, firehose style. “The Regeneratin’ Degenerate and his old pal Weasel are back, and they’re imposing their special brand of justice on any other killers for hire who don’t live up to their moral code – starting with a dangerous operation that’ll take Deadpool into the heart of a castle filled with ninja…WHO WILL STAB DEADPOOL MULTIPLE TIMES IN THIS ISSUE.
