Terrytoons’ animated superhero Mighty Mouse has delighted fans the world over since his first appearance in 1942. Dynamite Entertainment has announced his triumphant return to comic books for the first time in nearly 30 years, with a series written by Sholly Fisch, illustrated by Igor Lima, and featuring variant cover artwork for the first issue by industry legends Alex Ross and Neal Adams.
Imagine that the world’s greatest hero has been exiled to another dimension — an alien world, where not even the laws of physics work the way they should. The only person who even believes the hero exists is a young kid whom no one will listen to. And yet, the hero — who just happens to be a cartoon mouse — remains the shining light that this drab, cynical world needs to restore its color and life. Here comes Mighty Mouse to save the day in his most unexpected adventure yet… right here, in the real world!
This summer, Dynamite will celebrate the character’s 75th anniversary with a brand new comic book series for a whole new generation of fans. Mighty Mouse was first conceived in 1942 as a parody of another cape and cowl hero introduced a few years earlier, and went on to star in countless animated films for the better part of the next 20 years, finding a new life on Saturday mornings in the 1960’s.
Mighty Mouse #1 is slated for release in June.

Don’t miss the pulse-pounding, warrior-princessing, boom-sticking conclusion to “Forever… And A Day!”
Like many of the Futures End series, the version with Sinestro starts out in a future that is broken off from the past. As this standalone issue progresses, one has to remember that this is only a possible version of the future. The initial setting is fairly generic, and maybe even trying to steal a bit of the popularity of the prison sequence from Guardians of the Galaxy. Sinestro is held captive inside the Tartaros Ultra-Max Penitentiary, having been placed there by the Apex League, a newly introduced group of interstellar peacekeepers. What starts off as a fairly common setting rapidly starts to transform into a sequence of surprises. The first of these is this introduction of the Apex League, as one would assume that in the end that it would have been Hal Jordan that was the one to finally capture Sinestro.
Another development which is maybe foreshadowed and maybe not is the eventual turning of Soranik into a Yellow Lantern. Although this is not really consistent with her character development, it is an interesting though perhaps logical conclusion to having a series focused on Sinestro. This development is not so much of a spoiler though, as her presence here is really as an afterthought as she only appears in a few panels. What is not an afterthought is the end result of the Sinestro Corps. Although the series is still in its early days at only issue #5, this issue does highlight a possible outcome which perhaps many comic fans have never thought of, tying both the past and the future together.
In reading this issue, it starts off the same as a lot of others. For instance, as compared to the Teen Titans version of Futures End, little seems to be different on the surface. In the Teen Titans version, a story was told with some new characters and some old, but which did not really change much in terms of the DC Universe, other than introducing a new villain. While this series might start like that, it builds well over its final pages and its ending is really worth reading, especially for those that are fans of Geoff John’s run on Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps.
