If you missed out on the DARK NIGHTS prelude, DARK DAYS, here’s your opportunity to start from the beginning. This one has the signature metal foil cover on a hardcover. Can’t remember ever seeing that yet. I also like how it goes back in publishing history and grabs some issues that lay foundational hints, even if they maybe are retroactive continuity (retcon) hints. “Batman is hiding a dark secret that could threaten the very existence of the multiverse. Leading directly into the blockbuster event DARK NIGHTS: METAL, this is an epic story that spans generations, featuring DARK DAYS: THE FORGE and DARK DAYS: THE CASTING, as well as classic DC stories that built the foundations of Metal, including FINAL CRISIS […]

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.
