Comics or STFU – Self Publish or Perish- a “short” essay. (Or: 4,000 words about boxes and boxes of comic books) – Becky Cloonan’s great advice!

Pick(s) of the Week: The Superior Foes of Spider-Man #7 and more!

Posted on by

superior foes of spider-man #7 coverFor the last week of new comics of the year, or is it the first week of the new year, there isn’t a ton out, but some fantastic comics and many new series to check out. For the top pick of the week, I have to go with The Superior Foes of Spider-Man #7, one of my favorite new comic series of 2013.

The series follows some of Spider-Man’s well known, but not exactly tough, villains and their attempt to make a living. Filled with a mix of humor and action, the series boasts amazing dialogue and interaction.

The series is easily one of the best Marvel puts out each month and one of the best of 2013.

Check out below for the rest of the top ten books that I look forward to this week.

  • Dead Boy Detectives #1 – A spin off from the Sandman series, it’s published by Vertigo and that alone makes it worth a look.
  • Death Sentence #4 – Another favorite of mine from 2013, the mini-series focuses on a STD that gives you super powers, but kills you in six months.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy #10 – Lots of space fun! We’ll see where this goes after Marvel’s big event that just wrapped up.
  • Hawken: Melee #3 – The video game tie-in that features a dystopian world where battles are waged using mechs.
  • Legenderry: A Steampunk Adventure #1 – Bill Willingham doing steampunk, nuff said.
  • Rachel Rising #22 – BUY THIS SERIES! One of the best horror series on the market.
  • Revelations #1 – BOOM!’s new series that seems to take on religion and conspiracies.
  • Rocket Girl #3 – One of Image’s most fun debuts of 2013!
  • The Twilight Zone #1 – Dynamite takes on the classic television series.

SDCC 2013: Dynamite Announces The Twilight Zone Comic, with J. Michael Straczynski as Ongoing Writer

Posted on by

twilogoDynamite is keeping the announcements coming, this time by signing a deal with CBS Consumer Products to create a comic book series based on one of the most captivating television shows of all time, The Twilight Zone, featuring all-new tales of science and superstition as written by acclaimed author and Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski, one of the privileged few celebrated as a Special Guest of San Diego Comic-Con International 2013.

The Twilight Zone took millions of television viewers on a weekly journey to another dimension, starting in 1959.  The enduring success of The Twilight Zone spawned three revival series (one of which featured episodes written by J. Michael Straczynski), a feature film, novels, comics, and other related merchandise.

J. Michael Straczynski is the perfect choice to reinvent a television icon for the comics medium after spending many successful years straddling both media.  In television, Straczynski has written over 300 produced episodes and six TV movies.  In film, Straczynski’s credits include five produced movies in six years: Changeling for director Clint Eastwood, Ninja Assassin for the Wachowkis, Thor for Kenneth Branagh, Underworld Awakening, and World War Z for Paramount and Brad Pitt.  He has written nearly 400 published comics for Marvel, DC and Image, including The Amazing Spider-Man for seven years, followed by Thor, The Fantastic Four, Before Watchmen, and others.
