Coming off a highly successful 2016, IDW seemingly intends to make 2017 an even more prosperous year as the comic book publisher continues to expand into other media. Having previously made adaptations of 30 Days of Night and Wynonna Earp into mainstream hits, their next project will be somewhat of a reverse as their next commitment is that of The Devil.
It's becoming quite obvious that Fox is benefiting greatly from nostalgia as of late. Having recently revived classics such as The X-Files and 24 as limited engagements, I'm quite pleased that the next series to be resurrected is that of Prison Break, one of the shows that helped make the serialized approach an industry standard.
While we anxiously await the return of Jerome, any Gotham news to come our way is most welcome. That said, a recent addition has been made to the show that may significantly impact the life of Bruce Wayne.
Despite The New 52's success, DC's reboot of its line of books divided the fanbase, causing many to believe that the publisher's rich history had been jettisoned in order to make way for a darker, more Christopher Nolan-esque universe. Then, to the delight of many, Geoff Johns spearheaded the Rebirth initiative that kicked off last June and brought back the sense of optimism some felt had been lost in addition to embracing more classical elements.
Since arriving on the scene around a decade ago, Batwoman has made quite the impact on the DC Universe and amassed a rather generous cult following. Having been handled by the likes of Greg Rucka, J.H. Williams III, and Marc Andreyko, the adventures of Kate Kane have explored the darker side of Gotham City, often dealing with supernatural and occult related elements.
With decades of rich history having been established, Marvel certainly has no shortage of fantastic characters and compelling storylines to boast. And as we continue living in the Golden Age of Superhero Movies, more moviegoers will flock to local comic shops and bookstores looking for definitive tales to use as jumping on points. But with so much continuity being built, potential readers can often become intimidated. That's where Marvel 101 comes in.
Ever since he started penning Batman stories earlier this decade, all eyes have been affixed to Scott Snyder – and rightfully so. Aside from Grant Morrison, it’s arguable that no other writer has redefined the character’s mythos so handily in recent memory. So, it comes as no surprise that when any news concerning All-Star Batman travels down the grapevine, we pay close attention.
With Monsters Unleashed launching very shortly, Marvel is pulling out all the stops to grab the attention of readers everywhere. As such, they’re offering a look inside the new limited series brought to us by writer Cullen Bunn (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe) and artist Steve McNiven (Civil War).
Yesterday, Marvel made one of its biggest announcements yet in a still young 2017 when it unveiled All-New Guardians of the Galaxy, a twice-monthly series from writer Gerry Duggan and artist Aaron Kuder. Bringing together the heroes seen in the live action films – Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket, and Groot – it will no doubt appeal to both hardcore and casual fans.
If you’ve collected comics within the past ten years or so, you are well aware that when a major crossover event rolls around, the tie-ins are sure to follow. And although Justice League vs. Suicide Squad is by no means an exception to this rule, there aren’t an onslaught of side stories, so completionists won’t have to drain their wallets as much this time around. It’s likely due to the fact that this particular event is a weekly and therefore there’s simply no time to pump out various satellite miniseries. Still, that doesn’t mean obvious titles such as Suicide Squad are exempt from taking part.
