Comic Picks of the Week

Posted on by

Miracleman_1_Quesada_CoverThis week we continue the new format of our top picks with some of the contributors to the site pitching in and saying what comics they’re looking forward to this coming week.

Andrew

Top Pick: Night of the Living Deadpool #1 (Marvel) – You had me at Cullen Bunn. The writer of Helheim penning a four-part zombie Deadpool miniseries is a no-brainer…literally.

Batman Li’l Gotham #10 (DC) – This digital-first series concluded last month after 24 issues, and it couldn’t have been more fantastic. Dustin Nguyen’s water colors in a child-friendly Gotham made for an exceptional run. I have them all on my iPad, and I STILL can’t wait for the trades.

Disney Kingdoms Seekers of the Weird #1 (Marvel) – I know, it’s a weird title, but I’d read about this series a while back and something makes me want to pick it up.

The X-Files: Conspiracy #1 (IDW) – If this is what I think it is, the Lone Gunmen are crossing over with Ghostbusters (and other familiar characters) in a short two-issue series. Yup.

Trade Pick: Ten Grand TP Vol 1 (Image) – I’ll be honest, I left when Templesmith left, but every issue he’s on is extraordinary, and this trade collects them all.

Brett

Top Pick: Miracleman #1 (Marvel) – Marvel reprints the classic series for a new generation to enjoy with all new material for folks to check out. I myself have never read the series (I think) so look forward to getting a chance to finally read what I’ve been told so much about.

Black Dynamite #1 (IDW Publishing) – Um, how can you not want to read a comic based on the cult movie?!

Curse #1 (BOOM! Studios) – A new horror series from BOOM! A man heads into the woods in hopes of picking up a bounty to save his son, but of course there’s a twist.

Indestructible #2 – I loved the first issue from Darby Pop Publishing which has an average guy is mistaken with having super powers. Some really good humor mixed with the usual super heroics.

Skyman #1 – A new series from Dark Horse and Joshua Hale Fialkov is part of the publisher’s reinvigorated super hero line. The first issue is a great kick off.

Miracleman Returns! The Full Details and New Images!

Posted on by

It was the series that changed comics forever. With the utterance of one word, Michael Moran transformed from the ordinary into the extraordinary – and Miracleman was born!

Long out of print, Marvel Comics announced at New York Comic Con that the earth-shattering stories that injected new levels of sophistication into the super hero genre will finally see the light of day once again! Starting this January, Marvel will begin publishing the legendary run of Miracleman by the original creators that began in Warrior Magazine and continued under now defunct publisher Eclipse Comics!

Marvel has been working with the original artists to obtain the original artwork or photostats in every chance possible. They then painstakingly restored the items to as high a standard possible, even developing new techniques to do so, just for this project. On top of that, each issue will be relettered to meet today’s standards.

On top of the re-prints, Marvel will publish all-new Miracleman stories from legendary creators Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham! Long left unfinished, Gaiman and Buckingham’s famous storyline will ultimately see the light of day!

Each issue of Miracleman features additional content including new art, interviews with the creators as well as new covers from some of the industry’s most legendary artists! Look for Miracleman #1 in print and digital this January!

Not only will the Spirit of Vengeance get his own series written by Felipe Smith and drawn by Tradd Moore but he’ll also join Charles Soule‘s Thunderbolts.
