Another Bruce Lee story from Darby Pop. He’s a man-out-of-time in modern day Los Angeles. Written by Bruce’s daughter, Shannon. “Philosopher/teacher/real-life superhero Bruce Lee is back. And, let’s be honest, the world needs him now more than ever. Taking a brief respite from battling an otherworldly evil, Bruce Lee attempts to navigate modern-day Southern California despite still suffering from amnesia and having been ‘out of the loop’ for over 45 years. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a simple ‘lunch run’ soon turns into a comedy of errors involving mistaken identity, a Film Festival,’ and the pokey. And despite never being one to initiate fisticuffs, Bruce continues to find it difficult to both hide his martial arts skills – and […]

The introduction of “an all-new armored hero.” Hmmm. “The Marvel Universe story of Disney’s newest and coolest ATTRACTION. Stark Expo Hong Kong-THE place to unveil the latest and greatest in cutting-edge technology. But even as TONY STARK and WENDY WONG introduce the newest futuristic tech in the STARK EMERGENCY RESPONSE EXOSUIT, an evil from the past strikes.

But who will wear the prototype exosuit? And will it be enough to fend off this lethally evil force? Featuring CAPTAIN AMERICA, BLACK WIDOW, HULK, BLACK PANTHER, and the introduction of […]

Very cool! Another entry in DC’s ‘Earth One’ hardcover line and pocket ‘universe.’ This Hal Jordan is an astronaut for Ferris Galactic who must rebuild the Green Lantern Corps after all the emerald guardians were slaughtered by Manhunters. These are really cool modern takes on classic heroes. “The newest Earth One original graphic novel presents an all-new origin for the Emerald Warrior. Hal Jordan yearns for the thrill of discovery, but the days when astronaut and adventure were synonymous are long gone. His gig prospecting asteroids for Ferris Galactic is less than fulfilling-but at least he’s not on Earth, where technology and culture have stagnated. When Jordan finds a powerful ring, he also finds a destiny to live up to. […]

Whoa! Another wonderful–as in ‘full of wonder’–series from the creators of THE UNWRITTEN. I expect this one to be outstanding too! “The creators behind the Hugo Award-nominated The Unwritten, Mike Carey and Peter Gross, invite you into The Highest House, the story of a slave boy named Moth, who makes friends with a powerful entity called Obsidian that promises advancement and happiness. Clearly, Obsidian has a hidden agenda, but Moth has ambitions and plans of his own… Series covers by award-winning illustrator Yuko Shimizu.” Buy It Now

Go back to the beginning of the phenomenon! Volumes 2-4 all released the same day as well! “This month marks 10 YEARS OF KICK-ASS-the greatest superhero comic of all time. It’s been a decade since teen comic book nerd Dave Lizewski donned his homemade Kick-Ass costume and took to the streets of NYC to fight the city’s hardest criminals. This New York Times bestseller became a worldwide phenomenon overnight, spending three months at the top spot on the Diamond Direct Market chart and spawning the KICK-ASS movie that opened at No.1 in the box office. To celebrate the launch of the NEW KICK-ASS series, all four volumes of KICK-ASS: THE DAVE LIZEWSKI YEARS are being released through Image Comics. Relive […]

This one looks super-cool. Is it a dark metaphor for where humanity is headed? “War has become a spectator sport. Privately funded armies of superstar soldiers march into battle for fame, profit, and the glory of their sponsor nations. When a new generation of soldiers arrive, top gladiator Satta Flynn is about to discover how fleeting the limelight can be. From writer IVAN BRANDON (BLACK CLOUD, DRIFTER) and superstar artist ESAD RIBIC (Secret Wars, Uncanny X-Force) in his creator-owned Image debut, with painted color by NIC KLEIN (DRIFTER, VIKING) and graphic design by TOM MULLER, VS delivers spectacular action, darkly humorous satire, and explores our hunger for fame and our penchant for self-destruction.” Buy It Now

A cool new offering from IDW’s Black Crown imprint. Looks like a cross between ‘The Sixth Sense’ and ‘The Cat In The Hat,’ but a lot more crude. “As if being an awkward, bullied 15-year-old isn’t bad enough, ‘Fergie’ Ferguson suddenly discovers he can see dead people. Well, one dead person specifically-the ghost of a certain punk rocker named Sid. Sid’s spirit was trapped in London’s Heathrow Airport for 40 years until the day he met Fergie. Sid’s ghost is now stuck to Fergie-as if Fergie doesn’t have enough on his plate, being raised by a single mum whose idea of parenting is strictly fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants. Now Fergie has to contend with an unruly ghost sidekick and some weird, uncontrollable new […]
