With an opening on its inaugural programming schedule due to the cancellation of The Mist after one season, the Paramount Network (formerly Spike TV) is looking to Image Comics spy series Velvet as their very first original scripted drama. Kyle Killen (Awake, Lone Star) has been tapped to adapt the 15-issue comic book series, from the creative team[...]

However, I became hooked when Brubaker and another of his regular artist collaborators, Steve Epting, released Velvet Since then, I have been hoping to catch Brubaker at a speaking engagement and/or a book signing, so I was thrilled that there was a WonderCon panel this past weekend that spotlighted this amazingly talented and very busy[...]

Something it shares in common with this week's Velvet with, again, the most gorgeously illustrated cars. And hey, you can still eat Chinese in the trunk, but you might not want to use… what was it Chew? Exactly. It's entertaining to see John Carter: Warlord Of Mars #1 , published in accordance wit Edgar Burroughs' estate, with an[...]

However, as I prepared for a presentation on Ed Brubaker's Velvet for last month's Comics Arts Conference series at Wondercon, I began to take a closer look at women in the media I was consuming. With the celebration of Women in Comics this month by Previews, my interest was further piqued when I wanted to prepare[...]

Because there is plenty to go around… Both imaginary, from Uncanny X-Men... And real! From the dangerous of Amazing Spider-Man… To the dangerous and elderly of Harley Quinn… To the protective of Solar #2… The staged of Saga… The classic of Velvet… The tender of Prophet… Sometimes it's nice to just celebrate a kiss, whatever the reason[...]

Studios: Evil Empire #1 DC Comics: Forever Evil #6 DC Comics: Batman Superman Annual #1 Dark Horse Comics: Veil #1 Image Comics: Starlight #1 Marvel Comics: Moon Knight #1 Image Comics: Velvet[...]

The Scott Pilgrim movie tried but… nah. Or take Saviors #3 introducing characters all at once on the page, while simultaneously flashing back for each character, fleshing out the extra-terrestrial nature and history of their lives, over and above the one word career description. Same here,  just a reversal of Rs in one speech balloon in Velvet[...]

Next up, crocodile squadrons…   In Velvet #3, our what-if-Miss-Moneypenny-was-James-Bond character behaves, well, pretty much just like James Bond We don't get a name for him, but how about Dick Plenty? Does that sound sexy? And Ada in Alex+Ada gets a thorough unboxing review. I think Darth Vader swung first. Kiss Me Satan #5 gives us priests with machine guns,[...]

It's ahead of the returnable-if-you-order enough Dead Boy Detectives #1 and Velvet #3 But aside from that, the chart is relatively free of retailer incentives to increase orders beyond anticipated demand Black Science #1 clearly sold well enough to push the second print high up the chart, and New Avengers and Saga are both fuelled[...]

The mystery alone demands the coming issues, so be warned: if you read issue 1, you're in for the full series and like our doggy team, there really doesn't seem to be any going back. The Image book Velvet is back for its second issue after selling out in its first issue quite rapidly, and the[...]

But do you actually do your smelling in your nostrils? Isn't it further up? I have realised I have no idea what I'm talking about and should go and read a biology book, maybe get a closer look. Thank you for obliging, preview to The Revengers in the back of Elephantmen lets us know some of[...]

What was less than expected was that Velvet #1 would place so highly, with Pretty Deadly and Sex Criminals also riding up the charts. And hey, you know what? Aquaman didn't do too badly either… Justice League #24 Wolverine & X-Men #37 Uncanny Avengers #13 Aquaman #24 Velvet #1 Justice League Dark #24 Pretty Deadly #1 Sex Criminals #2 Indestructible Hulk #14 Batman: The Dark Knight[...]

Two Image Comics launches for today, Pretty Deadly #1 by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios, and Velvet #1 by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting, have sold out of their 57,000 print runs, from Diamond Comic Distributors. Now, both books were made returnable if retailers ordered significant amounts, and this figure does not account for any[...]

So this week we have some new Image books, craziness from Marvel, and the Midnight Circus at last. First up we have Velvet, written by Ed Brubaker, with art by Steve Epting, colors by Elizabeth Breitweiser, and letters by Chris Eliopoulos The cover I've got has sepia tones and a movie-poster feel, but turning to the[...]

Misogyny maintained. Velvet is probably my favourite comic this week, it just drips of the kind of comic you don't see these days, the Modesty Blaise, Button Man, a time when comic artists – or indeed comic strip artists – were stylised draughtsmen with an ability to take the everyday and portray them with extreme detail[...]

  Out this Wednesday, from Image Comics, the teaming up again of Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting, last seen on Captain America, now taking their pulpy
