THE WILD STORM #1 Aims To Reinvent 21st Century Superheroes Again

Media Release

The Wild Storm #1 Written by Warren Ellis Art by Jon Davis-Hunt and Ivan Plascencia Lettering by Simon Bowland Published by DC Comics Warren Ellis somewhat famously never looks back. The writer’s scorched Earth approach to his previous work has kept him moving forward and insured that his fans never get disappointed waiting for some nostalgia-baiting reunion tour. So to see Ellis at the helm of a rebooted, reimagined WildStorm universe is something of a surprise. DC’s penchant for the curation approach (a la Gerard Way’s Young Animal imprint) has…

Marvel’s Inhumans Vs. X-Men Gets A New Trailer

Media Release

Usually, Marvel’s comic book super-mega-crossover events end up plagued with massive delays that screw up the timeline of their corresponding line-wide relaunch events, with books set in the aftermath of Secret Wars or Civil War 2 hitting stores month before those stories conclude. That isn’t the case with Inhumans vs. X-Men, or, at least, it isn’t the case so far. There’s still time for Marvel to screw it up before the X-books are relaunched with ResurrXion. But so far, so good. All three issues of the main book, as well…

The teasers use words such as “Champion,” “Amaze” (via PreviewsWorld), “Avenge” (via CBR), “Defend” (via ComicBook), “Guard” (via Blastr) and “X-citing” (via ComicVine), referencing Champions, Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the X-Men, implying that the entire Marvel Universe will be drawn into Secret Empire – which would not be surprising if Steve Rogers winds up being the story’s villain. Secret Empire takes its name from the fictional…

Deadpool Vs. The Punisher

Media Release

Marvel Comics today announced Deadpool vs. The Punisher, a new series pitting the Merc with a mouth against the ruthless vigilante. Deadpool vs. The Punisher debuts in April, written by Fred Van Lente with art by Pepe Perez. “To me you know Punisher is best as a killing machine—I wouldn’t really call him a “humorless” one, though, because when Garth Ennis was writing him there was certainly quite a bit of deadpan black humor to him, and that’s definitely my take,” Van Lente tells Marvel.com. “Likewise, whenever I’ve done Deadpool…

George Perez’s Boycott Statement

Walt

George Pérez has come out in protest of United States’ President-Elect Donald Trump by pledging not to attend any conventions or comic functions in any ‘Red States.’ Pérez explains that he feels threatened by Trump’s statements and actions, for both himself, his wife, and his family and friends. Pérez provided this statement to the Comic World about his decision. I make no comment on his actions at this time.
