Sovereign is a new comic from Chris Roberson, published by Image Comics in March If you want a high concept, how about Lord Of The Rings But With Black People As Well. Clumsily inaccurate, but as Roberson puts it; So many of the fantasy stories I encountered growing up were set in worlds that were largely modeled[...]

Previewed in last week's Elephantmen, Jonathan Ross and Ian Churchill's The Revenger from Image Comics, will undergo a name change by the time it's published January. I'm told it will now be called "Revenge" but the lead character will still be called The Revenger. Turns out another webcomic had the same name (it might be this one)[...]

From Mark Millar's Image Comics interview, talking about nine of ten new Millarworld titles planned over the next three years, he mentions three artists. Sean Gordon Murphy, Jae Lee, Bryan Hitch Well, we had identified one of them, albeit for the wrong project… But Millar was ambitious talking about how not only will these stories tie in together[...]

Hang on, haven't we already done this? And the big reveal at the end… hadn't we already had this? Pretty snowscenes though.   Suicide Squad #25 During the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover of the eighties that kicked all this current event nonsense off, there was such a thing as a Red Sky crossover, where in some comics,[...]

From today's Walking Dead #118, by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard and Stefani Gaudiano, published by Image Comics. The book is really living up to its arc title, All-Out War, rather than showing one battle, it's showing a number, happening simultaneously, some on pause, some on retreat, some moments even tranquil, a war of gins, of fists,[...]

And sometimes that's enough. Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London.   Marvel has, of late, told us that unlike the days of old, you don't have to buy every crossover issue of an event to understand what's going on Indeed, in the likes of Civil War, it was better only to read the comic itself and none[...]

There were a ton of my favorite DC books out this week, Valiant had Unity #2, Kirkman's Skybound delivered, and Marvel had some Inhuman and mutant mash-ups. This will probably be one of[...]

And now DC Comics has cancelled that cover. There's no update if this will affect his originally-announced two page spread, or even if they were meant to be the same thing, repurposed, or not… DC Comics advises that retailers up their orders on the Greg Capullo cover to compensate, but Final Order Cut-off date for ordering was[...]

Just like in the first book. Comics in the 80s You were there During a revolution, really An explosion of talent.
