His name is Everett Watford. He is seventeen years old. He is putting on a comic convention in Chicago. He says; My goal is to showcase independent comic book creators and people trying to break into the business primarily from Chicago. I plan to have artists booths to showcase their wares and a pre-party to have…
Here are a few of the things Marvel has got planned to help promote the Avengers Vs X-Men crossover through the summer. And do you know what? I think it might just work. Avengers Vs X-Men #1 is a new reader jumping on point, for those unfamiliar with the current Marvel universe. Possibly obvious, but…
This is the planned artwork for Archie Comics #635 in July, leaked to Bleeding Cool. As earlier rumoured, it will tell the story of the global protest against massively unequal redistrubution of wealth and power, under the title Occupy Riverdale, echoing the Occupy movements present around the world. This continued the further progressive storylines from…
Grace Randolph, as well as looking at tomorrow’s comics today, takes on Benderspink’s blatantly open plans to use Arcana to publish comic books as a way to get Hollywood interested in their ideas… as well as evangelising for the medium of comics. Get your injection of Grace Randolph’s Stacktastic, half of her Think About The…

Back to the Florida comic shop, A Comic Shop, that can. Aaron boasts that he still has all the New 52 comics, first prints, in stock before he goes through this week’s comics with Anna Young. Who sings. And argues the Catwoman point with Aaron. Yeah, that goes well.
They’re bigging up JL Dark, Aquaman (no longer a pussy apparently), Dark Knight, New Guardians and… Kick Ass 2. On the basis that it’s offensive to everyone. And a bit of Brilliant as well.
AQUAMAN #1
GEOFF JOHNS & IVAN REIS! The team from BLACKEST NIGHT bring you the butt of those Family Guy jokes. Get ready for Handsome-Edgy-Badass-Aquaman!
FLASH #1
Straight outta FLASHPOINT! Flash’s newest villain was a close friend. (Please don’t be Wally. Please don’t be Wally. Please don’t be Wally.)
GREEN LANTERN: NEW GUARDIANS #1
TONY BEDARD! As an artist, Kyle Rayner has the potential for master all the colors of the corps, but does he have the leadership ability to guide a group of lanterns this emotionally volatile?
KICK-ASS 2 #4
MARK MILLAR! This is the issue Kick-Ass loses all of its iCarly fans!
ULTIMATE COMICS: SPIDER-MAN #2
BENDIS! White Spider-men can’t turn invisible and venom shock! In all seriousness, the Miles Mythos is spinning an intricate web that’s uniquely its own, while staying true to the same themes that made Spidey great!
ULTIMATE COMICS: ULTIMATES #2
HICKMAN! Iron breaks, soldier’s fall, and Gods die- all in a single issue! Unlike Marvel 616, none of these big three have their own books, so anything does happen!
FURY OF FIRESTORM: THE NUCLEAR MEN #1
ETHAN VAN SCIVER & GAIL SIMONE bring their disparate voices to feuding Firestorms in the Nuclear Terror Age!
JUSTICE LEAGUE: DARK #1
PETER MILLIGAN! The real Justice League may all be A-listers, but none of them can handle magic. Enter John Constantine and his Trench Coat Brigade, the DCU just got a lot darker, but maybe they can save the Super Friends.
BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT #1
DAVID FINCH! Bruce Wayne faces the unexpected legal ramifications of Batman Incorporated! Yup, Arkham inmates sue him for Bat Brutality.
SUPERMAN #1
GEORGE PEREZ! Remember when Stormwatch #1 referenced this issue three weeks ago? They made it sound like the inciting incident for the New DCU!
SECRET AVENGERS #17
WARREN ELLIS! Last issue was good enough to buy this one without a pitch! If you didn’t get #16, grab the 2nd print this week!
I, VAMPIRE #1
JOSHUA HALE FIALKOV! The indy darling writer of Tumor and Echoes brings the DCU some vampire on vampire on super hero action!
SAVAGE HAWKMAN #1
TONY (DETECTIVE COMICS) DANIEL gives us CONAN WITH WINGS!
TEEN TITANS #1
I think the question is, will this book be a fun guilty pleasure or a turd sandwich? Either way it’ll have more actual teenaged readers than the last incarnation
Indy:
BRILLIANT #1
BENDIS & BAGLEY! It’s like Harold and Kumar get super powers!
NEXT WEEK…
ACTION COMICS #2

Courtesy of Midtown Comics‘ listings and skipping the trades, here’s a look at the Marvel solicitations for May 2012. One word of warning, the credits on these do get mixed up, especially when there are double shipping issues – and there are a lot of those this month. But those pictures sure are pretty. AGE…
We already showed you what the DC Free Comic Book Day retailer customizable version would look like. Now we have the Marvel version, only available to retailers who order vast quantities. It’s intended to be used in mailshots or attached inside local newspapers, or given away in mass drives, each copy featuring the details of…
FastCoCreate has a new interview with Alan Moore talking about Watchmen – accompanied by the first art from Darwyn Cooke from the Minutemen book. It seems an odd article for DC Comics to have agreed to provide such artwork for, as negative as it is, including such paragraphs as; More recently, Moore says some lawyers…
Welcome to the Justice League Of Hanna Barbera, by Brazilian artist Daniel HDR. Can’t Boom just buy the rights and make this happen?
Neal Adams writes for Bleeding Cool, about Ghost Rider creator Gary Friedrich; Fellow creators, we can help Gary Friedrich without taking any kind of position in his case with Marvel. Gary is sick, and he’s about to lose his house, and though he will tell you he is not destitute, he needs help. If I…
This is the cover to Aquaman #7 by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado, the first part of the two part story “The Other League” by Geoff Johns. And from the solicits for issues 7 and 8… Who destroyed Atlantis? In the start of a new storyline, we follow the hunter as he stalks and kills…
