Another crazy reimagining of classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons in the DC Hanna-Barbera Universe! I can’t believe they’re letting Howard Chaykin write those sweet-looking characters from the late 50’s, Ruff and Reddy. This. Should. Be. Interesting… “In the Golden Age of television, Ruff and Reddy were on top of the entertainment world…until the world turned, and they were forgotten. Now, Ruff is a washed-up television actor. Reddy is a clerk in an upscale grocery store. Can a hungry young agent convince the two one-time partners to make a comeback–and convince the world that it wants to see the famously infamous dog-and-cat comedy team back in the spotlight? Don’t miss it if you can. RATED T+” Buy It Now Related shopping tags: DC […]

A true classic. With classic artwork. I’ll admit I had to google whether the plural of ‘dwarf’ was ‘dwarfs’ or ‘dwarves.’ The classic spelling seems to be ‘dwarfs,’ while Tolkein has made ‘dwarves’ more popular, and it may be overtaking ‘dwarfs’ in modern English. Still a great movie. Snow White, I mean. But also Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth trilogies. “Celebrating the 80th anniversary of Walt Disney’s first animated feature and the fairest one of all, Disney comics and Joe Books present Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs retold in 48-pages of vibrant comics drawn by Disney’s master artists.” Buy It Now Related shopping tags: DISNEY, DISNEY PRINCESS

This is a can’t-miss collector’s item that will only be printed once.” Buy It Now Related shopping tags: THOR

Both Ragman and Deadman get mini-series launches this month. You’re probably more familiar with Ragman, due to his appearance in the Arrowverse on television.

This looks like a creepy take on the plague theme. I’ve always been fascinated what humanity would do once we unlock the actual programming of our DNA, not just the language, but how the code actually runs. The possibilities are endless, and this looks like one scary possibility. “From the GLAAD award-nominated team James Tynion IV (Dark Nights: Metal, Detective Comics) and Eryk Donovan (Constantine: The Hellblazer) comes a new vision of humanity’s future in the vein of Black Mirror.
