Hey, this looks interesting. This isn’t a reboot/rehash, as much as it’s an extension of the story eight decades later. “A Rocketeer for a new century. It’s been 80 years since Cliff Secord first found an experimental jet pack and soared through the skies as The Rocketeer, becoming a hero along the way. Now, decades later, The Rocketeer is all but forgotten, a legend of a bygone era-until Cliff’s jet pack is found, but in a most unexpected way-one that causes conflict for several people, each of whom are drawn to the jet pack… Some for good and some for evil. A pulp-inspired modern-day adventure. First female Rocketeer.” Buy It Now Related shopping tags: ROCKETEER

Here’s a cool-looking–presumably sci-fi–new series from Image and a previously unknown creative team. It looks pretty slick, and I’m always up for plot twists like Westworld. “SERIES PREMIERE. Introducing a new creative team everyone will be talking about-superstar talent writer MAT GROOM and artist EDUARDO FERIGATO. When chaos besieges the kingdom of Arcadia, warrior Amala Citlali sees it as her chance to escape her clearly-defined role-and to change her destiny. But she could never have predicted that it would also be her chance to confront her God. In his debut editorial role, comics veteran KYLE HIGGINS guides this intimate, worlds-spanning story of self-discovery.” Buy It Now

IDW adds a second title to their ‘MARVEL ACTION’ line of all-ages Marvel stuff. I think this is actually a good thing. IDW has shown a real talent for this demographic niche, and it leaves Marvel to concentrate on what they do best. “A new era of all out Avengers action begins. A new team is formed to battle a mega-sized threat that is weider and wilder than any of the superheroes have met before. This new ongoing series will be the perfect opportunity for middle grade readers, and fans of all ages, to experience the thrilling adventures of Avengers comics for the first time. Avengers stories that are epic, weird and above all: fun. From the creative team that […]

Andy Diggle writes this seriously cool-looking spy-fi thriller from the creative minds of Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri. Definitely worth checking out! “SERIES PREMIERE. Imagine being able to take over the body of anyone on Earth. Sound crazy? Not for Agent Drake and the Hardcore Program. They can turn any person into a human drone to get to targets that normal soldiers can’t. Drake is the best soldier Hardcore has to offer. But when he gets stranded in a body with only 72 hours to discover who’s hijacked the Program, he’ll have to pull out all the stops against an enemy who could be literally anyone. From the creative minds of ROBERT KIRKMAN and MARC SILVESTRI, and presented by ANDY […]

This new mini-series from Albatross Funnybooks looks pretty fun. “Can life get any weirder for junior occultist Martin Magus? Living in the haunted city of Dunwich Heights is strange enough for a kid investigating the unknown, but when he comes into possession of a bewitched ring, he discovers that he now has the power to summon Megaghost, a giant supernatural robot sworn to defend the world against the creepy things that go smash in the night.” Buy It Now

Yes, please! More Superior Spider-Man. The original run was a real entertaining look at the anti-hero. I expect more outstanding exploration of the hero paradigm with this new series. “A SPIDER-GEDDON TIE-IN. Otto Octavius leaves the moniker of Doctor Octopus behind and once again becomes THE SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN. If you think you’ve already read the most intense and surprisingly heartbreaking Superior Spider-Man story, prepare to be wrong. Otto is going to prove to the world that he’s the most effective and (to him at least) the best super hero in the world. But when a villain that overpowers him by so much shows up in San Francisco, there’s no way Ock can win, right? Can you see Otto smirking from […]

The wildly popular DC Dark Multi-Verse mini-series collected in trade paperback for the first time! Enjoy!! “Beyond our universe, there is the Multiverse … and beneath the Multiverse is a nightmare realm where every fear that has ever been felt on our Earth becomes reality. Now an evil force as old as time wants to drag us down into the shadows, into the realm of never-ending terror. But when the door between worlds opens, it’s not just any nightmares that come spilling out. They call themselves the Dark Knights. Each one is a twisted version of Batman from a world where one of his worst fears has come true. With the invasion underway and Batman trapped in the Dark Multiverse, […]

There’s not a whole lot to go on with this new series from Image, but it could be pretty cool. There’s science fiction and post-apocalypse aspects, but the ethical questions will likely be the most intriguing. “SERIES PREMIERE. The entire human population is frozen by a mysterious global event… all except Ray, and only he has the power to unfreeze them. Now with the fate of the world in his hands, he must figure out what is going on, how to set things right again, and answer the question: does everyone deserve to be saved?” Buy It Now Related shopping tags: IMAGE TOP COW
