It's certainly been a good week for IDW on the Star Wars front, hasn't it? Having been recently confirmed to have pulled off the incredible coup of gaining license to publish the upcoming young reader friendly Star Wars Adventures, they've just announced that more science fiction awesomeness is on the way in the form of Star Wars: The Classic Newspaper Comics, Vol. 1.
No doubt enjoying all the praise True Believers have been giving his Netflix show, Luke Cage is certainly riding high these days. In fact, his popularity will soon have the chance to grow even further when a new solo series written by David F. Walker (Power Man and Iron Fist, Occupy Avengers) and illustrated by the up and coming Nelson Blake II (Romulus) hits stands the spring.
By now, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that this spring has borne generous fruit when it comes to new titles featuring your favorite mutants. But while books such as X-Men Gold, X-Men Blue and the upcoming Astonishing X-Men feature somewhat familiar lineups, those looking for a change of pace - as well as some young blood - need look no further than Generation X.
Now that ample time has passed since the first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok effortlessly blew up the internet as if it had been exploded by the hand of Hela, I certainly hope we've all been able to cool down enough in order to discuss other aspects of the film.
So, has your headache alleviated since reading the conclusion of Spider-Men? Well, we sure hope it has because it looks like Marvel is finally ready to give us some answers regarding "the other Miles Morales" when Spider-Men II kicks off this summer.
It's certainly been an interesting last few years when it comes to the Batman-Bane rivalry, now hasn't it? Perhaps The Dark Knight Rises' theatrical release can be partially credited for giving it a much needed kick in the pants, but it did have to rear its head again at some point.
If you’ve been keeping up with the Superman line of books of late – and you should because they’ve been nothing short of awesome – then you’re well aware of the new status quo forged by the events of “Superman Reborn.” Basically, Supermen pre and post-Flashpoint were merged into one being, also melding their respective histories.
Now that the spring premiere of Gotham is so close we can taste it, Fox has put out a trailer that teases not only what we can expect from the returning episode, but also some of what the rest of the season has to offer. Not surprisingly, many characters are featured, several of which are making their returns.
Although Tom King’s current run on Batman hasn’t been entirely bulletproof, one reason that it’s probably been scrutinized more than other titles is that he was faced with the unenviable task of following Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, who delivered what was arguably one of the greatest and most definitive eras to make up the Dark Knight’s 78-year history.
Although the recently rebooted line of Archie Comics have found quite a bit of success and helped immensely with rejuvenating interest in the publisher, longtime fans expressed some concern with the fact that the classic art style the brand has become known for had been jettisoned, and that a more dramatic tone was beginning to be favored over that of a more comedic one. Well, worry no more because Your Pal Archie is on its way and may very well be the book for you.
