Invincible #78 – Advanced Review

March 21, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

I remember, Invincible when it came out. The team did a Super Patriot book before it. I was ecstatic about it because I digged the art of the Super Patriot book. But at the time Invisible’s first issue came out I was not into super hero books anymore. I picked Kirkman’s zombie book, rather than his bright yellow blue teen super hero. Besides I’m sure that at one point in your comic geek life you have encounter the dreaded “Money shortage” and some books had to be sacrificed for the sake of your daily living. That was the case with me and Invisible–sure I read some reviews and features and the book sounded like a must have. Yet I never bothered to pick it up even in collected editions. When I was assign for this issue, I thought maybe I should read the back issues before reviewing issue # 78– its common sense right? But I remember when I was a kid I was not given that choice.

March 20, 2011 | | Comic Features

Here we are at the end of day two, currently we’re watching Kill Bill volume 2 the worst of the two movies. Our day began with a light breakfast from the bakery at the convention center, the food was great but they had the cajones to try and charge 6 dollars for a bottle of juice! After that we jetted to the DC universe panel which you can read about here. The panel was definitely less exciting then the DC nation panel which we recapped in our day one coverage. There was one juicy bit of info we picked up on that you’re sure to figure out if you read the comments section.

c2e2 – Talking 27 with Charles Soule

March 20, 2011 | | Comic Features

While at c2e2 I had the chance to meet Charles Soule the writer/creator of 27. You know that book that we reviewed so highly. If you need a refresher then start here and then move forward. I asked Charles about the second series which was originally slated for a July release and he was very open with answers about the next volume in the series. Whereas the covers for the first series were all members of the 27 club, ie Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix etc. The second series covers will all be one hit wonders covers. The first and probably the most notable being Vanilla Ice. That’s what the second series is going to focus on is William Garland not being a one hit wonder. I asked if he was in deed going to hit the button again and the answer was of course yes. What Charles said though, was the situation he’s put into to make him hit the button and what he does with the creative power that is ultimately interesting.

The big news from the panel was that Dynamite will be adapting another Kevin Smith script into a comic. The couldn’t confirm or deny it, but they did say that it was basically going to be the Bionic Man. Phil Hester will be working on it again and will basically be the reason that the book comes out on time. They also will be adapting Flash Gordon into a comic and will take everything that is good with the character and go from there and will be ignoring the movie and TV show. Also Dynamite acquired Chaos! Comics and they will be launching with Evil Ernie as their first series. The floor basically was opened to questions and the remainder of the article will be just that the questions. Will Vampirella be seen in her original costume?

c2e2 – Avatar Press Q&A

March 19, 2011 | | Comic Features

At the panel they talked about Caligula #1 premiering at c2e2, which is written by David Lapham. The art is all painted and very different looking from a typical Avatar book. They equated it to Rome or Deadwood, but way more hardcore. Lapham (absent from the panel) just finished up work on Crossed Psychopath which just launched a few weeks ago. Crossed as a whole has been an insane success for Avatar. The first volume is their bestselling trade ever. After Psychopath wraps up the Crossed ongoing series will be launching called Crossed: Badlands. It will reunite the original team of Crossed and then will move on to a different creative team. Crossed: New York or Crossed 3D will be out on April 20th. It’s been delayed due to the 3D effects. They promised they’ll be the best 3D effects ever seen in comics.

c2e2 – DC Universe Panel

March 19, 2011 | | Comic Features

Here we are on the second day with our first panel DC Universe. There was a bunch of DC all-stars assembled ranging from Scott Snyder, Brian Azzarello to Gail Simone. As far as announcements went… there wasn’t much since Flashpoint is so close and of course DC isn’t going to reveal anything. It was revealed that Scott Snyder and Gene Ha are working on the Superman Flashpoint mini titled Project S and that it will begin with Metropolis having a very bad day as baby S’s ship brings a ton of Krypton rubble with it. Brian Azzarello is also working on a title and said it was his first cross-over event and that usually he doesn’t do them because he hates them, but then went on to say that this event really will change everything in DC and reaffirmed it with a very loud “Goddamnit!” He also said that you don’t need to buy all of the Flashpoint tie-ins but that you’re an idiot if you don’t since it’s going to be some great stuff. Bob Wayne Sales VP encouraged his statement.
