Holy what the now?!? You’ve got to read the solicitation description yourself because you won’t believe me if I tell you. “In a post-apocalyptic world gone medieval, the Church sends their top monk warrior to infiltrate a renegade scientist’s enclave and kidnap the J-Clone, the Lord’s vat-born twin. Saving the holy clone from the cross forces, the monk must confront the truth of his own (very immaculate) birth. Clones of Marilyn Monroe, Hitler, Gandhi, and Jesus…oh my. Misbegotten is cyberpunk religion gone mad.”

This new one from Image looks very interesting. At first glance it reminds me of David Brin’s Uplift universe, which he created in his series of novels from the 80’s and 90’s. In general, the Uplift universe is a more cheery sort of science fiction than the deluge of dystopian apocalypses we’ve been getting recently. The universe is still a dangerous place, for sure, but humanity is trying to rise above, not just get along by whatever means are necessary. “WINGED MONKEYS. TECHNO-DOLPHINS. QUANTUM ALLEYCATS. – Humanity’s long gone. Its memory lingers only as misunderstood rituals among mankind’s leftovers: the genetically modified animals they used and abused for eons. But for one young flying monkey, QORA, the routines are unbearable. […]

Oh, very cool. I should have seen this coming after Edge of Venomverse, as it’s a mirror storyline of the Spider-Verse. I’m excited to see the Venomized versions of familiar and obscure characters. You know, this is a trend now. Maybe it started with the Captain Universe Uni-Power which explored what several heroes would do with the Uni-Power in the mid-2000s, but Spider-Verse really paved the way for, not only Venomverse, but also what DC is doing with Dark Nights: Metal and all the evil Batman-ized versions of their iconic heroes. It’s kind of a cool way to generate a bunch of characters and see which ones resonate with fans. Those versions usually end up with a publication life beyond […]

Hey now, this looks a bit like Remender’s Seven to Eternity. If this one is half as good as that, it’s definitely worth a look. “NEW SERIES. Fifteen years ago, our world was overrun by creatures of myth; orcs, dragons, and other nameless horrors threw the entire planet into total chaos. Today, the shattered remnants of civilization must fight just to survive in a deadly new era of violence and mayhem. While a powerful sorcerer marshals his forces, a group of warriors embark on a journey to reclaim our world from the growing darkness. An all new post-apocalyptic high-fantasy adventure series from co-creators SETH M. PECK (X-Men) and JEREMY HAUN (THE BEAUTY) featuring colors by NICK FILARDI and letters by […]

I’m very hopeful LEGACY lives up to the hype. The “dramatic return” we’ve been waiting for can only be the Fantastic Four. Who else has been missing from the Marvel Universe for over two years now? But, you know, “excavating gems” and weaving them into “something new” is what Marvel has been doing before Legacy. It’s hard not to be skeptical, but, again, I am hopeful… “EVERYTHING STARTS HERE. It begins at the dawn of the human race, and ends with a child’s prayer. In between, empires fall, mysteries brew, secrets are revealed, quests are undertaken and legends are forged. All leading up to the dramatic return you’ve been waiting for – and one you’ve been dreading. Jason Aaron (MIGHTY […]

This is what I’m talking about…classic dungeons and dragons. And a simple but elegant art style. “NEW SERIES. It’s hard to make an honest living in a land brimming with magic and mystery, and treasure hunter Luvander is tired of being a penniless adventurer. Ever in search of gold and glory, she sets off for a fabled dungeon, ‘the Dragon’s Maw,’ an ancient labyrinth, at the bottom of which slumbers endless wealth… or certain doom. But what starts out as a road to riches becomes the first step on an epic journey to destiny, for Luvander holds a secret in her heart that will shatter the chains of fate and bring light to a world encroached upon by an ancient […]
