Oni Press and Warner Bros. Discovery celebrate 10 years of Cosmic Chaos with Rick and Morty: 10th Anniversary Special #1

Posted on by

What better way to celebrate a whole decade of grandparental antics, disorderly schwifty-ing, and never-ending nihilistic cosmic chaos than in the 64-page, ginormous Rick and Morty: 10th Anniversary Special #1 from Oni Press in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products! From Rick and Morty veterans Alex Firer and Fred C. Stresing, A TRIPLE-SIZED, SQUAREBOUND SPECTACULAR featuring a cast of thousands as they officially commemorate all the best (and worst) parts of everyone’s favorite intergalactic duo in comic shops throughout the omniverse on July 10th!

Rick has decided he’s finally ready to hang up his lab coat and move into a retirement home, but first he enlists Morty, Summer, Beth, and Jerry to help him pack and get all his crap out of the garage. But when disturbing the dark recesses of Rick’s storage shelves unleashes waves of visitors and consequences from adventures past, the family isn’t sure they want Rick to leave the home just yet. 

The acclaimed creative team behind Rick and Morty: The Space Shake Saga – writer Alex Firer and artist Fred C. Stresing – run an endless gauntlet of enemies, lovers, and completely inconsequential side characters from all 10 years of Rick and Morty—for new and old fans alike! Don’t miss the all-out rager in honor of the duo of the decade when the Rick and Morty: 10th Anniversary Special #1 unleashes 64 pages of awesomeness on July 10th – featuring a wraparound standard cover by Marc Ellerby, alongside variant covers from James Lloyd, Suzi Blake, and Fred C. Stresing.

Deathlok celebrates 50 years with an Explosive Anniversary Special

Posted on by

In 1974’s Astonishing Tales #25, one of comics’ most offbeat heroes was born—Deathlok! This September, celebrate the iconic cyborg’s unique legacy alongside an all-star lineup of comic book talent in Deathlok 50th Anniversary Special #1!

The giant-sized one-shot will be written by Christopher Priest and Justina Ireland. The time-spanning story will be drawn by an epic lineup of artists including Dale Eaglesham, Matthew Waite, and Luke Ross. Deathlok 50th Anniversary Special #1 will also mark the grand return of Denys Cowan, a definitive Deathlok artist who reinvented the character in the early ‘90s.

An amalgam of reanimated flesh and computer circuitry, former military strategist Col. Luther Manning was locked in a state of living death. Stripped of his family, his humanity, but not his will, Manning became the cyborg, Deathlok the Demolisher—a weapon of war programmed solely for destruction! A bold blend of science fiction, horror, and war, Deathlok’s genre-shattering sagas pushed the limits on dystopian storytelling. Fifty years later, this tragic cyborg hero’s take is more relevant than ever and readers won’t want to miss where his path takes him next!

Travel back to the ruins of Manhattan for an action-packed, laser-blasting, building-smashing, explosive adventure uncovering secrets of a world that will excite new and longtime fans. Witness the world of tomorrow where everything went horribly wrong, filled with danger around every corner, brutal villains, as the reluctant half-man, half-machine’s latest mission culminates in an ending DESIGNED TO SHOCK YOUR TECHNOLOGY-TORMENTED BRAIN!

Check out the main cover by Ken Lashley as well as a variant cover by Nick Bradshaw that teases Deathlok’s future. Stay tuned later this week for the reveal of Cowan’s cover, and preorder Deathlok 50th Anniversary Special #1 at your local comic shop today! 

Superman #1 and Batman #1 set Auction Records in the UK

Posted on by

Two of the most highly sought-after and exceptionally rare comics set new auction records for the UK when they were offered for the first time ever in the country on June 8th. Superman #1 sold for £97,890 against a starting price £20,000. The comic is exceptionally rare with a current ranking of #3 on Overstreet’s list of the Top 100 Golden Age comics, which is a ‘holy grail’ in comic collecting. The Golden Age ran from 1938 to 1956 and was a period when the concept of the ‘super-hero’ was created and many well-known characters were introduced, including Superman, Batman, Captain America, and Wonder Woman. An event cited as the beginning of the Golden Age was the debut of Superman in 1938 and his popularity helped make comics a major arm of publishing, which then led rival companies to create superheroes of their own. 

Superman #1 arrived in 1939, one year after his first appearance in Action Comics #1 which demonstrated his fast rise in popularity. Creating a comic book for a single character had not been done before and this therefore set a precedent. Superman was also the first ever hero character to appear in more than one comic magazine. It was the first time DC included a letters column for fans to write to the Editor, which also proved very popular.

The issue retells the origin of Superman by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, with new material and the Superman pin-up on the back cover is the first pin-up in comics.

The second exceptionally rare comic was Batman #1, also from the Golden Age and considered the 5th most important Golden Age comic. Having first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, this was Batman’s first solo-titled comic and featured the first appearances of two of his most famous foes – The Joker and Catwoman. The issue saw the publication of four stories, including The Joker, The Giants of Dr. Hugo Strange, The Cat and The Joker Returns. The stories are believed to have been written by the American comic book, TV and film writer Bill Finger (1914-1974) and it had a classic cover image by Bob Kane (1915-1998), the American comic book writer, animator and artist, who co-created Batman and most early characters for DC Comics. It was dated 1940 (was graded 3.0 (RESTORED C-3) by CGC) and sold for £31,375 over five times its starting price of £5,000.
