Guys, I'm getting pretty psyched for SDCC.

Also, everyone who's going, we should probably start PMing each other phone numbers so we can meet up on Sunday.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Those are the people he's talking about though

Yeah, and the odds of those people starting aren't exactly good.

Speaking of Hasbro:

Ew. Joints.

The face sculpts look really good, though. Doubly so when you consider that this is Hasbro. God, I'm so dead when they start letting people pre-order the new statues. Goodbye monies.

 

[Li Kao]

The news about Grant Morrison and Heavy Metal picked my curiosity but... is there no digital download option except for the official site digital back-issues ? I mean, no comixology ? no itunes ? no insert digital platform here ?
I think it is ample time I get some anthology goodness. Seriously thinking about 2000AD too. Just the little issue with OCD and skipping approx 350 millions issues of Dredd but hey...

Hasbro either get it spot on with faces (Han, Luke, Vader) or get it oh so wrong (Leia, Obi-Wan, Anakin).

Seriously, anyone who is at SDCC this weekend and wants to pick me up one of the plush Krypto superpets toys drop me a PM.

Look at this guy, he's great!

Spoiler

If anyone is going to SDCC and feel like picking me up a Michonne figure from the Skybound/Walking Dead both I would love you forever.

But yeah...I'm kind of bummed out. It looks like the page that Allred used to draw iZombie is slightly larger than 11x17, it maybe 12x17 so it doesn't fit in these frames. My Rachel Rising page didn't fit either but American Vampire did ._.

Edit: New Avengers didn't fit either ._.

thats really odd

most original art pages are 11 x 17

not even sure why you would be using something larger

[Schweinehund]

So Telos, Titans and Pre-flashpoint Superman book?

I didn't ask for Telos but the other two are nice.

And it's not like these are fakes or anything. Mike's page is directly from him, same with Moore's page and the New Avengers page is real as well (but purchased through a dealer)
And my Quinones page is 11x14.

 

[krypt0nian]

GIMME!

 

[KoruptData]

What's this? Awesome image.

 

[Zombine]

What's this? Awesome image.

It looks like the cover of the penultimate or final issue of Secret Wars.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Did you see my Porter signed copy of JL3K1?

No, did you meet him in Cincy? And wow at comics actually being announced at Comic con.




Serious question, how can you get into Rebels when it is so low budget? Lucas at least put effort into it.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

What's this? Awesome image.

Secret Wars #8 cover. Love it.

 

[Zombine]

It looks like iZombie is 11x17.5.

I wish he was coming to Cincy (it's still a couple months away). He ran a twitter contest and I was one of the winners

Isn't that the one where everyone's attacking Doom.

Superman: American Alien features a young version of Clark Kent who gets into trouble as his powers are manifesting.

On one hand, it's another Superman book. On the other, it's Max Landis who put out the 2 part Joker story with Jock that was amazing.

Edit nvm, it's an elseworlds title.

Jeff Stokely interview about the Spire. Talks about how he designs the environments, the characters, how he collaborates with the other members of the creative team, etc. The Spire's got a really great look, all Moebius-Akira Toriyama-Hayao Miyazaki-Dark Crystal stuff

 

[BossDarkseid]

Damn...nice image. Always knew the fate of the Marvel Universe would ultimately come down to two of the most arrogant dicks...and is that white space inbetween the images...the og Beyonder? or a silhouette of him...

 

[Owzers]

Seems weird to see a cover like that without Iron Man, the face of Marvel, in the center.

 

[TheStig88]

Brubacker.

Also apparently Waid was baller too. Boring writer for a boring character. Makes sense.

I love Captain Marvel. You know what I like.

I really wanted Captain Marvel to be good, but honestly it's pretty forgettable.

I definitely second the Brubaker run for Captain America. It starts with Winter Soldier and then goes into Death of Captain America.

no compelling plot nor charm

skip

Thanks fellas. Brubaker it is. Think I'll hold off on Captain Marvel for now. No tablet yet and phone reading is awful, plus I've got a truckload of other stuff still to read.

And man, ya'll weren't kidding. This IST packaging is ace. So much nicer than the bubble mailer treatment my Sunstone trades got from Amazon that left me with a couple of damaged copies.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Strangely much Spider-Man stuff. I see the GG, the Super-Man/Spidey Cover and the bite.

Hickman on a Spider-Book confirmed?

Spoiler

I know But one can dream.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Gameproff did you hear about that Waid/Samnee Spectacular Spider-Man rumor b?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

You wont trick me again.

But I actually would support a second Mainbook. Maybe a new run of Spectacular?

 

[Dan]

Ew, all those talented artists working with douchebag extraordinaire Max Landis.

Neal Adams heads up Coming of the Superman, describing it during the "New DC Universe: Superman: Are You Ready?" panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego as "all of [Jack Kirby's] characters fighting Superman."

In the six-issue series launching in November, Darkseid and his son Kalibak face off against Superman and what DC describes as "three national heroes from the city of Kandor (now known as New Krypton) who see Superman as a legend." Lex Luthor is also mentioned as being part of the series.

"The three new Supermen fall somewhere between the Three Musketeers and Three Stooges," said Adams. At the end, there's a big surprise. They take Superman's blood, and they discover something about Superman, and that's all I can tell you."

 

[Messi]

Mediocrity?

you are better than comments like this.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

No she's not. lol

I would have expected better.

its all that sassy anime you watch

 

[Messi]

What comic news did I miss today. I was out all day and cbr is kind of all over the place.

 

[Penguin]

Why isn't this on all the pages!

 

[Poodlestrike]

Sorry, Messi. Sometimes my fingers, they just type things.

Shouldn't apologize, IMO. Leaving that ether on the table would have been the greater crime.

Suits the new freeza that has been around this month I suppose.

 

[Yousefb]

Also, the Robin timeline brought up something weird.

Isn't the Tim Drake who's currently Batman Beyond an alternate future version of Tim Drake? Is it actually Tim?

Wait Tim is Batman Beyond now? What happened to Terry
Also why is Dick a special agent now? And Damian is back? Lol I'm so behind I've only been reading Batman through trade paperback but that's only up to Zero Year Dark City now. Maybe I should just read it all on comixology for now and collect later.

 

[TetraxShards]

Why isn't this on all the pages!

I thought this was fan art, but holy shit, Batman/TMNT IS A REAL THING!

Up to this point, Batman meeting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has only existed in fans' collective imagination, playing out via action figures in playrooms worldwide. Now it's comic book reality, thanks to the latest joint presentation from DC Comics and IDW Publishing, and CBR has the exclusive first details.

The six-issue "Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is scheduled debut in November, from the creative team of Bat-books veteran writer James Tynion IV and artist Freddie E. Wiliams II, who's worked on "Robin," "JSA All-Stars" and more for DC. Williams will also illustrate covers for the series, along with "TMNT" co-writer Kevin Eastman.

James Tynion IV though? UGH. Still, I'm buying this. Childhood me would want it that way.

If only Eastman was writing

Might still check it out though. I love IDW TMNT.

Seriously, Grayson is amazing. Read it.
