SDCC 2016: DC Comics Bombshells 7” Collectibles Pre-Release

Posted on by

Cryptozoic Entertainment and DC Entertainment are proud to announce the pre-release of Series 1 of the DC Comics Bombshells Vinyl Figures at San Diego Comic-Con. The 7” figures will be available at Cryptozoic’s booth (#115) before receiving a full nationwide release later this summer.

DC Bombshells originated as a series of statues inspired by 1940s pinup art and dieselpunk and featuring some of DC Comics’s greatest female characters. Debuting in 2013 with Wonder Woman, the series has become a runaway success with collectors and an inspiration to cosplayers. The statues were followed in 2015 by the DC Bombshells comic book series, which reimagines DC’s history by placing its heroines and notorious villainesses at the center of World War II, in the process drawing attention to the changing roles of women in that era. Now, DC Bombshells star in this exciting new line of vinyl figures from Cryptozoic Entertainment.

Series 1 of Cryptozoic’s DC Comics Bombshells includes several fan favorites: the mighty Amazonian princess Wonder Woman, the cute and crazy Harley Quinn, and the ever cunning and crafty Catwoman. Inspired by Ant Lucia’s illustrations and the DC Bombshells comics, these stylized figurines are approximately 7” tall and were designed by Pedro Astudillo and sculpted by Anders Ehrenborg.

Fans looking to collect all three of these DC Comics Bombshells Vinyl Figures—Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn and Catwoman—can purchase them at Cryptozoic’s booth (#115) at San Diego Comic-Con and, starting later this summer, at comic book stores, bookstores, and board game and specialty retailers, with a suggested retail price of $29.99. The figures come packaged in a display-worthy window box for optimal viewing.

DC Expands its Bombshells Line with Statues, Busts and Annual

Posted on by

Its been three years since it was introduced and been a relative success for DC Entertainment, but the company has announced plans to expand upon their popular DC Comics Bombshells line. The concept has appeared in comics, statues, toys, and games, and features the likes of Wonder Woman, Poison Ivy, Batwoman, Stargirl, and Harley Quinn in an alternate World War II setting. The expansion includes new statues, an annual and a coffee-table book.

The line debuted in 2013 and was inspired by the retro artwork of Ant Lucia which mixed the pin-up style of the war period with rockabilly influences.

In January 2017 Katana enters the mythos with a new statue designed by Lucia and sculpted by Jack Matthews. In October 2016 a line of busts designed by Emanuela Lupacchino and sculpted by Matthews will debut. October also sees the release of The Art of DC Comics Bombshells, a hardcover collection of design work by Lucia, Lupacchino and other artists including Des Taylor and Terry & Rachel Dodson. August 2016 sees the release of the comic series first annual. Writer Marguerite Bennett and artist Elsa Charretier reveal the hidden history of “The Bloody Batgirl,” and the cover by Terry and Rachel Dodson is below.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by

DC_Bombshells_2_5575d95d36ac86.74035338Wednesdays are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in!

We’re bringing back something we haven’t done for a while, what the team thinks. Our contributors are choosing up to five books each week and why they’re choosing the books.

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this Wednesday.

Brett

Top Pick: Plutonia #1 (Image Comics) – A new series by Jeff Lemire? Well, that alone gets this on my list, but the idea of him tackling a coming of age story through the lense of the superhero genre is too awesome to not look forward to. Add in beautiful artwork by Emi Lenox, and this is the first comic I’m reading this week.

Imperium #8 (Valiant Entertainment) – Harada and Divinity, two of the most powerful beings in the Valiant universe have come face to face. This is the climax to “Broken Angels,” continuing the awesomeness that is this series.

Midnighter #4 (DC Comics) – Writer Steve Orlando has made punching to solve problems cool again. I’ve never been the biggest Midnighter fan, but Orlando has given me reasons to be as he’s given the character a fresh mix of a personal life and superhero life. Such a fantastic series.

The Omega Men #4 (DC Comics) – Superhero terrorists? This series shows the gray and that there’s a fine line between terrorist and revolutionary, all in space! A very cool sci-fi series that does what sci-fi does best, explore our society through entertainment.

Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye #44 (IDW Publishing) – I’ll keep plugging the various IDW Transformers series until you people wake up and see that it’s more than just giant robots and fighting! Every series has been an interesting mix of political intrigue, action, and religious philosophy. It’ more than meets the eye (sorry had to).

 

Alex

Top Pick: X-O Manowar #40 (Valiant Entertainment) – I’ve become a huge fan of this series over the past few months, and after the way the last issue ended, I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks.

We Stand On Guard #3 (Image Comics) – I have been really enjoying this series so far. We’re almost at the half way mark, and I’m really looking forward to see where the story takes us.

 

Edward

Top Pick: Danger Girl: Renegade #1 (IDW Publishing) – Love’m or hate’m, the Danger Girl team is back, and this time focuses on one of the team’s unanswered questions, Abby’s past.  Those that like the series can expect more tongue-in-cheek humor combined with decent action.

Jem and the Holograms #6 (IDW Publishing) – More fun abounds for this series which has been focused so far solely on the battle of the bands, and while it has been a simple enough concept, the creative team fills these pages with life.

Lazarus #19 (Image Comics) –  The ongoing battle of Duluth proves to be an issue for Forever after she is nearly killed in the last issue.  How thia works from here on will be interesting as numerous clans are trying to take down the Carlyles.

Star Lord and Kitty Pryde #3 (Marvel) – A lot of the Secret Wars tie-ins have either mostly ignored the crossover or told a crossover-centric story.  This is one of the few that does both while maintaining the charm of what made the pair of heroes so special to begin with.

Wonderland #39 (Zenescope) – Zenescope’s stand-out series returns with higher stakes as Calie faces threats in Wonderland and on Earth.

 

Elana

Top Picks Tie: 8House: #3 Kiem Part 1 (Image Comics) – Brandon Graham’s inter-connected fantasy world series begins a new storyline. The art by Xurxo G. Penalta is beautifully detailed and creative. The world has an air of Dune mixed with cyberpunk. The story involves astrolprojection. This will be unlike anything else you buy.

Top Picks Tie: Heavy Metal #276 Jack Kirby Issue (Heavy Metal) – Jack Kirby made art for the CIA’s secret Operation Argo plan to free American hostages. Never before published, we can finally see it in this issue! It is based on Robert Zelazny’s famous fantasy series “Lord of Light.” The rest of the mag sounds good too. But the Kirby cover alone with worth the cost of admission.

Jem and The Holograms #6 (IDW Publishing) – The Food Fight of the Century is over and now it is time for the Battle of The Bands! A really fun series for people of all ages and genders. Which band would you be voting for: The Holograms or The Misfits (not the Danzig Misfits, the entirely fictional Misfits that the artist has said sound like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs)? I think Black Sabbath singer Dio would vote for Jem and the Holograms but Black Sabbath singer Ozzy would vote for The Misfits. Please tweet me your own wild speculations to @Elana_Brooklyn #JemBattle (this is just me, not an official IDW tag).

Midnighter #4 (DC Comics) – I’m addicted.

Toil and Trouble #1 (BOOM! Studios) – I’m fairly discriminating about my “re-imaginings of Shakespeare” but this new mini series looks stunning, innovative and feminist.

Silver Surfer #14 (Marvel) – A title that had felt at the periphery of the Marvel U (in an interesting, exploratory way) now finds itself at the middle of it. It looks like the rebuilding of the post Secret Wars Marvel U starts here. The last issue ended on some absolutely stunning art. Among the best I’ve seen in ages. I was very frustrated with Slott’s response to the Hercules bi-erasure story but he’s apologized so I’m still reading this.

 

Kenny

Top Pick: DC Comics Bombshell #2 (DC Comics) – Making this story a period piece has me interested in the many ways they could take Wonder Woman, Batwoman, and Supergirl, after a solid set up in the first issue. But it’s mostly the gorgeous art that has me most excited about diving back into this world.

Daredevil #18 (Marvel) – Honestly, I could break down the multitude of reasons this comic is worth reading but, to keep it simple, when Mark Waid is writing Daredevil it is always worth checking out.

Deadpool vs. Thanos #1 (Marvel) – Deadpool messing with anyone is usually all I need to be happy, but watching him send Thanos into a massive rage has me feeling extra giddy inside.

Herald: Lovecraft and Tesla #6 (Action Lab Entertainment) – Being a history junky, I am all for any type of twisted history tale. And just the potential of watching Mark Twain versus a book golem is enough to make me want to read this right now.

 

Mr. H

Top Pick: Deadpool vs. Thanos #1 (Marvel Comics) – The one who personifies death vs. the one who can talk you to it? Oh yes this is a must see even for me. Viva la Deadpool!

Daredevil #18 (Marvel Comics) – The final chapter. See how it all ends. I am on the bench with anticipation.

DC Comics Bombshells #2 (DC Comics) – The Womens’ Super Revolution continues. Is Steve Trevor going to make it? We shall see…

Green Lantern #44 (DC Comics) – Hal as a renegade just really fits and I’m liking this fun little space chase, I’m hoping that some incoming Thanagarian influence can shift it into over drive though!

Thors #3 (Marvel Comics) – Move over CSI and every other crime drama. This one is how it’s done.

 

Paul

Top Pick: Thors #3 (Marvel) – This is one of my favourite books to come out of Secret Wars.  The Thors have been hunting a murderer who has been targeting Jane Fosters from different areas of Battleworld, and now they have a suspect.  This is a great cop story, following the Thors as they uphold the laws of Doom, and I can’t wait to see the interrogation of their suspect.

Age of Apocalypse #3 (Marvel) – Issue 1 was fantastic and took me right back to the AoA I remember…and then issue 2 totally left me flat, basically a rehash of the first.  I am really hoping they pick this story up and we get more into the thick of things.  I’m really enjoying seeing the story from Cypher’s point of view, but I want to see more then some observations on character behaviour.  There’s been hints of a virus that could end all the mutants…can we please see more of this story?

Squadron Sinister #3 (Marvel) – I was surprised that I enjoy this book as much as I do.  I’m familiar with the Squadron Supreme, and Hyperion from his time in Avengers…and it’s a fun read to see Battleworld’s version of this team being nothing more then an organized gang, quietly taking over realms to expand their power…but how long will this go before Doom steps in?

Review: DC Comics: Bombshells #1

“A Justice League of their own”

DC Comics: Bombshells opens its tale with an all too familiar setting. A young boy and his family are exiting from having just seen an iconic presentation of “Zorro” and they unwisely venture into a dark alleyway. Of course true to the test of time, a man suddenly steps from the shadows wielding a gun in his hand. Even the narrator’s booming verbage “Out for a summer stroll, an unsuspecting family couldn’t possibly know what lay in wait..”, leads you to believe you know what’s coming next. If you’ve read a comic before you know what a young couple going down a dark alley with their young son, represents.

All of a sudden, in a moment that twists what we know and hangs it upside down by its ankles we are treated to something new. We hear the phrase “Who is this masked madam?” , as we are treated by a young redhead in a modified baseball uniform, complete with bat-symbol jersey and  ball cap with bat ears, with her wooden bat thrashing the would be attacker! (Biff! Pow!)

1360699400315181604tumblr_ns7pwllVqq1sa2z61o1_1280

This scene was tremendous and a breath of fresh air I have to say. I was very worried that they were going to go the time-honored route of showing Bruce Wayne’s origin (Yet again!) but they quickly swerved me and pulled out this amazing intro. What made it even better was the fact the narrator’s voice was actually an announcer’s voice doing an intro for a baseball game at Gotham Stadium. By day she is a star player for the local Gotham Knights, but by nightfall she is the Batwoman! (How simply elegant and appropriate) What makes this even better is she still wears her mask on the field thus preserving her secret. Ah but even during a game does not mean time off for our sporty heroine, as a gang of muggers are attempting to rob the fans in the front row. How does she avoid this catastrophe? Why, she throws a wicked curve ball at top velocity right into the stands hitting the mugger in the jaw! The Batwoman makes short work of the hoodlums and then hits the showers. Not before bowing to the crowd to bask in the credit first. (very cool, nice break from all the grim who stick to the shadows archetypes)

DC_Bombshells_1_12At this moment we are introduced to another strong femme, Detective Maggie Sawyer of the GCPD and significant other of one Kate Kane: the true identity of the beloved Batwoman. (I have to give the writer’s credit here for going this route and using this iteration of Kate Kane rather than taking the easy way out and using the Kathy Kane version) This take on a such a modern style relationship done in a 40’s time period is very intriguing to me. Maggie is certainly the more gung-ho of the two while Kate still has reservations about the public perception. They are two strong-willed and intelligent ladies. Their banter is fantastic and Kate has the line of the book. “Also, Hemmingway can’t shoot anything better than whiskey.”  Classic.

After some minor bickering, the lovely couple retire to their chambers only to be woken abruptly by a loud noise from the roof. Maggie grabs her gun and Kathy follows her to the roof only to find a helicopter piloted by none other than Commander Amanda Waller. She asks the girls “Would you like to end the war?” (Hmm Waller in any form is never good news. Be wary ladies.)

As we look up to the sky we are whisked to Greece where above a remote island, two groups of aircraft wage aerial assault on each other. The US forces seem to have the upper hand until two pilots are blindsided by an attack and one is completely obliterated. The other pilot makes his escape but crashes down in the waters below where he is washed up on a most unusual shoreline. As he lay unconscious he recalls the sight he saw above a short time ago, thinking he saw Valkyries but he knows he is not dead and not in Valhalla. So where is he? As he looks around he sees a small gathering of tall beautiful women cloaked in sheets and wielding weapons.

amazons-at-aEverything is not pleasant because the warrior women want answers for retribution for the intrusion on their sacred island. The pilot identifies himself as Steve Trevor and the ringleader Princess Diana, lets him know he will stand trial to answer for his transgressions. He tries to explain that he was being attacked by enemy forces and was just trying to protect himself. Diana informs him while that might have been the case, the fallout of bullets from their war in the sky has claimed many victims. Women and children alike have fallen because of the bullets that have rained down. She takes mercy on him but he must still answer to her. (I found this interesting because I have always wondered what would occur if this was happening over a crowded area. I mean what goes up, must come down and it’s not like bullets just evaporate. This was a very interesting plot point here that I feel should come into play more often in comics in movies during epic battles.) 

Overall: The majority of this issue served as an introduction to this brave new world (Where women handle every corner of society: business, marketing, even all sports) being adapted here. I loved every second. It all clicked wonderfully. The characters were colorful. The dialogue was snappy and the twists on classic icons were well welcomed. Both Marguerite Bennett and Marguerite Sauvage blew me away. Everything about the comic felt right. The art was a perfect fit. It was a mix of cheesecake and unique stylization which really gave the book a distinct identity. True it’s being published in 2015, I felt like this could have been ripped directly from the 1940’s without seeming corny or dated. Even though concept of this was born from some variant covers and collectible statues, it translates quite well and really holds its own here. With Agent Carter being at the height of her popularity over at Marvel, this was the perfect time for DC to pull the trigger on this franchise. The remainder of the story served as introduction to a very familiar female icon that had a twist too cool to ruin in these paragraphs here. This book definitely got the sleeper of week award here for me. Enough of me gushing. Go out and give this a view. It may not be a mad man’s world anymore but these ladies do such a bang up job, that it is just fine with me. I cannot wait to see where it goes next. Now if you need me I will be busy taking cocktail orders in the women’s wing of a smokey lounge till next month. Have a good one…

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by

PhonogramIG01_CoverWednesdays are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in!

We’re bringing back something we haven’t done for a while, what the team thinks. Our contributors are choosing up to five books each week and why they’re choosing the books.

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this Wednesday.

Brett

Top Pick: Americatown #1 (Archaia/BOOM! Studios) – It’s the near future and the US has gone to crap causing Americans to flee the country and become undocumented immigrants in others. This story focuses on a town in Brazil that’s risen due to this. A fascinating comic with both social commentary and family at the heart of it.

Descender #6 (Image Comics) – Jeff Lemire’s mysterious sci-fi series has been mesmerizing in both story and the art by Dustin Nguyen.

Letter 44 #19 (Oni Press) – Is it time for President Blades to surrender and end World War III? Does he have more fight in him? Writer Charles Soule always seems to have a twist I don’t see coming in this futuristic sci-fi political thriller. Plus there’s that whole astronauts dealing with aliens far away from Earth thing too.

Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl #1 (Image Comics) – I haven’t read the first two volumes, but I’m looking forward to seeing what the praise and hype is all about.

Rebels #5 (Dark Horse) – Writer Brian Wood has been digging into the American Revolution, and giving it a personal touch by focusing on just a few individuals and not being bogged down by grand plans and battles. It might be taking place in the past, but the series is relevant to the world today.

 

Alex

Top Pick: Howard The Duck #5 (Marvel) – I have no idea what’s happening in this series half the time, but I absolutely love it. There’s the kind of humour I love peppering each issue, from the front cover right to the end. It’s always a happy Wednesday when I get to pick this up.

Batman #43 (DC Comics) – Of the two titles staring just Batman (this and Detective Comics), Scott Snyder’s writing is putting this comic head and shoulders above the other. Snyder is the bet writer to tackle the Dark Knight in years, and I love Greg Capullo’s art work.

 

Edward

Top Pick: Star Wars: Lando #2 (Marvel) – The first issue of this series was surprisingly fun and with a great twist of an ending. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here.

A-Force #3 (Marvel) – One of the more interesting concepts for a Secret Wars series gets its third issue. The first was so-so, the second was a lot better, how will this one turn out?

The Beauty #1 (Image Comics) – The emphasis on beauty is always an issue in modern society, and so it will be interesting to see what the take is on it in this series.

Gotham Academy #9 (DC Comics) – There still hasn’t really been a missed opportunity so far in this series, and that will likely continue here as the gang faces a werewolf.

String Divers #1 (IDW Publishing) – Now that Ant-Man made miniaturization cool again, we might see more stories like this, about a group of scientist fighting supernatural threats at the microscopic level.

 

Elana

Top Pick: Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl #1 (Image Comics) – This is one of the best comics series of the 00s and now it’s back. Everyone who loves music needs this comic, even people who don’t read comics. Here’s my short review of issue 1. I’ll be writing a bigger piece soon because it’s worth it!

A-Force #3 (Marvel) – Interesting premise. Female characters that I can’t get enough of like She-Hulk and Dazzler and a school of Namors. The story presents a mystery intriguing enough that I keep buying this book even though I can’t deal with the outfit they put Nico in. I’m sorry but not only is her get-up impractical it’s not even goth. Nico would never wear that. But buy this anyway because it’s a lot of fun.

Catwoman #43 (DC Comics) – Spoiler is back! Series writer, the awesome Genevieve Valentine was our podcast guest last night. We think she’s doing outstanding work and taking the characters in directions that make sense yet are 100% unlike what we’ve seen before. In this issue Steph wear’s a Black Canary band t-shirt and Selina wears more contour because clothing should reflect the people wearing it damnit! Love this book.

Constantine: The Hellblazer #3 (DC Comics) – Now the great ConJob is heading back to London. That city is full of bad memories for him and it looks like he’ll be getting help from an interesting new character. This series keeps gets better with each re-reading so I expect issue 3 to be the best yet.

Gotham Academy #9 (DC Comics) – Olive and Maps are starting to have her own Scooby Gang whether they want it or not (Maps does, Olive says she doesn’t, which is why she needs it most of all). Look at all of these adorable children! They keep melting my stoney heart with their cuteness and feelings and mystery solving and angst.
Mr. H

Top Pick: Batman #43 (DC Comics) – The new Dark Knight Jim Gordon’s maiden voyage continues. He’s got the tech does he got the stuff? Meanwhile the mystery of Mr. Bloom starts to grow. Oh yeah that Bruce Wayne guy shows up to give some pointy eared advice too.

DC Comics: Bombshells#1 (DC Comics) – Tales of mighty maidens from WW2 era. Very historically retro style book coming our way. Plus who doesn’t want to see A League of their own style Batwoman?

JLA: Gods and Monsters #1 (DC Comics) – The creative team from the hit movie gives us the backstory on how this big Three got together. All I know is I can’t get enough of Bekka as Wonder Woman!

Secret Wars #5 (Marvel Comics) – In Doom we trust. I sure do. Nuff Said.

Paul

Top Pick: A-Force #3 (Marvel) – She-Hulk has broken the biggest rule of Battleworld…no travelling between regions. And now the Thors are coming! This is a fantastic story with the ladies of Marvel, and as I’ve said before, anything wit She-Hulk front and center is great. If you’re not reading it, go get issues #1 and 2..I’ll wait…go now!

Secret Wars: Battleworld #4 (Marvel) – I have really enjoyed this book, giving us 2 shorter stories showing us characters and areas of Battleworld not explored in the main books. This is the last issue in this series, so I’m very interested to see what final stories will be told before the end of Secret Wars.

Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde #2 (Marvel) – Issue #1 was a fun, light hearted story in-between all the darker stories being told in Secret Wars. Peter is an anomaly that Kitty will not let out of her sight…and Peter wouldn’t have it any other way. Will she take him back to Valeria, or keep this discovery for herself?

Pharoah

Top Pick: The Beauty #1 (Image Comics) – In a time where dystopia and vanity is all over mass media, this comic hits it right on the nose, as the creators imagine a world where beauty can come to anyone as sexually transmitted disease, WHOA!!!

Doctor Who: Four Doctors #1 (Titan Comics) – All I have to say , what happens when you have the 10th, 11th and 12 doctors join forces, is a whole lot of quips and more than quadruple the trouble

Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl #1 (Image Comics) – I love McKelvie and Gillen’s work on everything they have done so far, as music and magic are one and the same in this world, as the buys kick off a brand new arc

Providence #3 (Avatar Press) – Alan Moore, continues his exploration of all that makes Lovecraft, a master of what he did, as Moore and Jacen Burrows only furthers the unsettling discovery.

King Tiger#1 (Dark Horse) – who does not love a good old kung fu movie, as this comic, has all the makings of a classic Shaw Brother movie.

 

Troy

Top Pick: A-Force #3 (Marvel) – One of the more interesting Secret Wars tie-ins in my opinion. A-Force continues the story of an elite team of female avengers as they continue to unravel the curious mysteries of Battle World.  Knowing that the A-force brand and team will continue post-battleworld this is sure to be a rewarding read to invest in!

Inhumans Attilan Rising #4 (Marvel) – With the upcoming Inhumans movie, and seeds planted on the television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The inhumans are poised to make a big splash in the MCU over the next few years. A traditionally reclusive community the ensuing emergence of the Inhumans both on the small screen and the big screen makes a surreal parallel to the source material. Now  is very good time to learn about them and see what makes them so amazing. Who wants to get me some Terrigen crystals this Christmas?

Secret Wars # 5 (Marvel) – Despite achieving some manner of Godhood the chinks in Dr. Doom’s Deistic armor are starting to show. Last issue hinted at a showdown between Doom and his longtime rival Reed Richards. There’s definitely something epic about an impending battle of wits between a God and Mortal who are in a lot of respects equally matched. I can almost hear Michael Buffer’s clarion call in the distance. Impatiently awaiting this cosmic scale knock down drag out J
