Megalith: The Olympus Saga #1 delivers popcorn disaster entertainment

Posted on by Leave a comment

Twenty minutes ago, a massive monolith crashed into the heart of Baltimore, obliterating 16 square blocks. No one knows where it came from or why. Somehow, the monstrous deep space object evaded the global surveillance net. Three elite breach teams were dispatched to penetrate its outer shell and disable it. Ten minutes ago, it sprouted tendrils that began ripping apart nearby streets, cars and even people using the raw material to print itself larger. Police, SWAT, the Feds, even NORAD were powerless to stop it. Just two minutes ago, the megalithic anomaly achieved its final form — a gigantic, hundred-story tall, humanoid, mecha-robot — then began marching towards Washington, DC. Now, our only hope is Officer Jack Casey, a beat cop scarred by the past, who along with what remains of the breach teams must scale the robot from the inside. If they can reach the head, they can destroy it, but time is running out. The government has scrambled a nuclear response and the world has just learned that a second, bigger monolith is about to impact Earth.

Bad Idea keeps the Gimmicks Flowing with the Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens Ancient Amber Edition

Posted on by Leave a comment

The next Tankers epic kicks off this June with Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens from writer Robert Venditti, art by Tomas Giorello, Trevor Hairsine, and more.

Publisher Bad Idea has no fear of bringing out some of the more creative gimmicks for their comics and this debut is no exception.

Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens #1 is getting an “Ancient Amber Edition” that contains a “Jurassic Insect.” These limited covers feature an epoxy resin with the prehistoric insect inside. But, don’t get your Jurassic Park dreams rolling, it’s a replica Jurassic insect.

The Tankers were sent back 65 million years into the past with a simple mission. To use their weaponized mech-suits to divert the asteroid that annihilated the dinosaurs and buy a little more time before extinction – and a lot more future oil reserves. But deep in Earth’s prehistoric past, something far deadlier than dinosaurs lies in wait. A species of star-faring, super-advanced ancient aliens! Battle-hardened by millennia of galaxy-spanning civil war, the ancient aliens have come to Earth armed to the teeth and ready to unleash the most fearsome arsenal unknown to man. Now the Tankers must wage an all-out war against ancient aliens and monstrous super-dinosaurs alike if they hope to fight their way back to a future worth saving!

Check out the cover and a preview below.

The Oddball’s Odyssey has some fantastic visuals but a so-so narrative

Posted on by Leave a comment

Millionaire nimbly fuses the master storytelling of Homer’s The Odyssey with the surreal beauty and intricately rendered linework of Moebius’s Arzach to deliver this breathtaking masterpiece. Divine providence has finally done what no hangover ever could – Bobby Dougherty is sober. But fate works fast and it’s not long until Bobby tumbles back off the wagon. A single glance at the radiant swan Lucia Serena DelMar leaves the former booze-hound monkey drunk on love and hopelessly devoted. When Lucia takes flight, Bobby refuses to let his chance at love slip through his fingers.

Joined by his faithful friend Jimmy Skunk, he sets off on a perilous journey across distant lands – through impossible labyrinths, over treacherous seas and into the path of a vicious, fire-spitting minotaur in an epic quest to win Lucia’s heart.

(W) Tony Millionaire (A) Tony Millionaire (C) Jim Campbell

Warbird #0

(W) Robert Venditti, Derek Kolstad (A) Jesse Lonergan

From the minds of blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad — creator and writer of the box office dominating motion picture franchise JOHN WICK — and New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (Superman ‘78, Green Lantern), comes a white-knuckle, globe-spanning action/spy thrill ride.

Cole is a repo man of the highest caliber, repossessing heavily guarded mega yachts from billionaires, private planes from captains of industry, and everything in-between. If it’s got an engine, he can drive it, ride it, or fly it straight out from under the nose of an army of guards.

But now he’s handed the job of a lifetime. The impossible job. One that will bring him face to face with the highest stakes.

The Russians have stolen aeronautical military secrets from China, France, Germany, The UK, and the US to “Frankenstein” together the ultimate bleeding edge, next-gen fighter jet: The Warbird. There are only three of them in existence. They are a force of absolute nature — $1.4 billion apiece — dominating every global hotspot from Syria to Ukraine. And Cole’s been hired to steal one… and destroy the other two.

His fee? 10%. A cool $140 million. But this isn’t a repossession job. This is outright theft. And failure doesn’t mean jail time and fines — it means a bullet to the back of the head.
