Keeping the World Strange in March Previews

March 16, 2011 | | Comic News

I for one will be checking this out since I’m very curious about what others have to say about Plaentary so you may see future coverage of this on the site. If you’re interested in knowing what Planetary is check out our review for the final issue. For others you may want to pre-order this book with you’re comic shop since it doesn’t look like its going to be an in-stock item on their shelves. Sequart Research & Literacy Organization’s Keeping the World Strange: A Planetary Guide is now available for order through comic shops (use Diamond order code MAR111401). The book is currently listed in the books section of March’s Previews catalog (page 347) and is set to hit stores in late May.

Hunter tells him that he was supposed to me his father but lost track of time. The man tells him that being late won’t make his father nearly as upset as him not looking both ways before crossing the road. The unknown man gives Hunter his gold watch and makes him promise that he’ll never be late again.

Dynamite Scores Voltron

March 16, 2011 | | Comic News

A press release from Classic Media and World Event Productions
indicates that Dynamic Forces, the parent company of Dynamite
Entertainment, has acquired the rights to publish new comic books and
graphic novels based on the classic Voltron property. Last spring, news leaked out that Moonstone Books had been outbid in an attempt to secure the Voltron license, although Moonstone did publish a Voltron coffee table book.

Dynamite has not yet announced the acquisition of the property or the date of release for its Voltron comic. The most recent Voltron
comics were published by Devil’s Due, which acquired the license in
2002. Devil’s Due published a five-issue miniseries followed by an
11-issue ongoing Voltron series that ended in 2005. A second
5-issue miniseries from Devil’s Due debuted in 2008 and marked the end
of the modern era of Voltron comics.

Twilight Guardian #3 – Review

March 16, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

In the last issue we found the Twilight Guardian bonding at a comic convention with likeminded heroes as they patrolled the streets together and formed an alliance. Of course once the con was over the Twilight Guardian was left alone again… that is until a comic book company offers to make a comic based off of her. Back in her home town she settles back into her routine of a nightly patrol and reading comics in her underwear. This time she has something new to read instead of old comics. The company has sent her pages of a treatment for her comic. She settles in and reads a few pages that depict her as the Punisher. In the comic she enters a bar and shoots the crap out of everyone before blowing it up via her trained monkey in a helicopter.
