Ollie Masters and Tyler Jenkins Uncover a Father’s Secret in Snow Blind

Posted on November 10, 2015 by Graphic Policy Team

Family ties run deep, but sometimes family secrets run deeper still. In the tradition of unconventional crime thrillers like Criminal, Scalped, and 100 Bullets, acclaimed writer Ollie Masters and artist Tyler Jenkins don’t pull any punches in Snow Blind, a new original mini-series from award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios.

High school teen Teddy has never seen eye-to-eye with his dad, but he never suspected that he might not be the man he thought he was. His life in a sleepy Alaskan suburb turns upside-down when he innocently posts a photo of his dad online that quickly goes viral, only to learn he and his family are in the Witness Protection Program. But what if his dad’s reasons for going into the program aren’t as innocent as he says?

Snow Blind #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on December 9th with a main cover by series artist Tyler Jenkins for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code OCT151191. Also available in a limited quality is a 10 Years incentive cover by Felipe Smith, and a retailer incentive cover by Matt Taylor.

Adoption Is a Dangerous Business in BOOM!’s Last Sons of America

Posted on October 8, 2015 by Graphic Policy Team

Humanity has always been able to adapt, although not necessarily in the best of ways. This November, debuting writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Matthew Dow Smith explore what happens when a biological attack targets America’s most precious resource—their children—and how the world reacts in the new BOOM! Studios limited series Last Sons of America.

After the attack known as Agent Pink made it impossible for anyone in America to conceive children, child adoptions—and more frequently, kidnappings—from other countries became the most lucrative business in the world. Brothers Jackie and Julian are adoption agents based in Nicaragua, and although they do their adoptions through legal means, they’re facing increased competition from straight-up kidnappers. When Jackie makes a desperate move and takes a seemingly homeless kid off the streets, he puts them in the cross-hairs of some very dangerous people.

Last Sons of America #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on November 11th with a main cover by Tonci Zonjic (Lobster Johnson) for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code SEP151104. Also available in a limited quality is a 10 Years incentive cover by Felipe Smith (All-New Ghost Rider), and a retailer incentive cover by series artist Matthew Dow Smith.

Grant Morrison Unleashes the Definitive Santa Claus: Year One in Original Series Klaus

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Graphic Policy Team

He is a man with many names: Sinterklaas, Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas. He has international fame, but only ever appears once a year to defy physics and commit the greatest act of breaking-and-entering known to man. Santa Claus is one of the oldest and most beloved icons around the world, but he’s rarely thought of as a “superhero.” This November, Grant Morrison teams up with homegrown BOOM! Studios artist Dan Mora to change the way we view Jolly Old Saint Nick in the original limited series Klaus.

Set in a dark fantastic past of myth and magic, Klaus tells the story of how Santa Claus really came to be. Where did he begin? What was he like when he was young? And what happens when he faces his greatest challenge? Drawing on Santa Claus’ wilder roots in Viking lore and Siberian shamanism—taking in the creepier side of Christmas, and characters like the sinister Krampus—Klaus is “SantaClaus: Year One.”

Klaus #1 (of 6) arrives in comic shops on November 4th with a main cover by series artist Dan Mora for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code SEP151100. Also available in a limited quality is a 10 Years incentive cover by Felipe Smith, a Jackpot variant cover by Frazer Irving, and a retailer incentive cover by Chris Burnham.

James Tynion IV and Eryk Donovan Toy with Absolute Power in October’s Cognetic

Posted on September 20, 2015 by Graphic Policy Team

Everyone’s had the thought at least once in their lives. If I were in charge, things would be better. If I had total power, I could make a perfect world. It’s a fundamentally human desire for control. But what if there was someone—or something—bigger than humanity that had the same thought? What if this single being decided to take control of humanity and set it on a different course?

This October, James Tynion IV and Eryk Donovan, the creative team behind the award-nominated, apocalyptic horror miniseries Memetic, return with a fresh look at how the world could end in the oversized, three-issue event Cognetic. When a powerful psychic being that once controlled one-third of the world’s population in a hivemind resurfaces to set humanity back on track, the people of New York City struggle to comprehend the strange and horrifying things happening to them, and one young woman in the FBI will have to pay a terrible price if she’s going to save them.

Cognetic #1 (of 3) is oversized at 48 pages (all three issues of the miniseries will be 48 pages) and arrives in comic shops on October 21st with a main cover by series artist Eryk Donovan for the price of $4.99 under Diamond order code AUG151188. Also available in a limited quality is a 10 Years incentive cover by Felipe Smith, and a retailer incentive cover by Juan Doe.

Evil Hits Home in Mike Carey and Mike Perkins’s Rowans Ruin

Posted on September 3, 2015 by Graphic Policy Team

Everyone should feel safe in their own home, but what do you do about the evil lurking in someone else’s house? Mike Carey and Mike Perkins team up for the first time in over ten years for the haunting thriller Rowans Ruin, debuting this October from award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios.

Katie has always had things pretty easy, growing up in comfortable circumstances in Florida. But when she finds herself with a long summer break before grad school, she decides to do a house-swap with a British girl, Emily, as a way to vacation relatively cheaply—and to get out from under her parents’ attentiveness. England is great, so different from Florida, and the house, called Rowans Rise, is charming. But soon she starts having nightmares—really, really, strong ones. Curious, Katie researches the owners of the house, and discovers it may have more of a sinister history than she thought…

Rowans Ruin #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on October 7th with a main cover by series artist Mike Perkins for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code AUG151194. Also available in a limited quality is a 10 Years incentive cover by Felipe Smith, a Jackpot incentive cover by Mike Perkins, and a retailer incentive cover by Andre de Freitas.

Review: Secret Wars: Secret Love #1

Posted on August 24, 2015 by Brett

When worlds collide, can their love survive? Robbie Reyes/Kamala Khan! Typhoid Mary/Karen Page/Matt Murdock! Danny Rand/Misty Knight! And more in this anthology!

Marvel‘s Secret Wars has been generally fun with a solid main series and great spin-off series. It’s absolutely the best event by Marvel in a while, and with the spin-offs being so good, this might be the best event in a while by anyone. So, to say one comic has stood out to me out of all of those comics released, and so many being so good? That says something. Secret Wars: Secret Love #1 so far is the best comic to come out of Secret Wars for numerous reasons.

Four stories, with all be good, three of them being fantastic. Particular standouts to me are the ones penned by Michel Fiffe who takes on Daredevil, Karen Page, and Typhoid Mary, and Jeremy Whitley who takes on Danny Rand and Misty Knight.

Fiffe brings his kinetic vibe that he’s perfected in his indie series Copra to his story. If you’re a fan of it, you’ll dig Copra and vice versa.

Whitley’s story is the standout and deserves a “10” all around. He nails real world relationships in his dialogue, and situations, even with it featuring superheroes. There’s statements made, interactions had, that I’ve had myself. It’s just beyond perfect, and proves Whitley should be the next star of the comic industry.

Four stories that vary in tone and look, this comic is a spotlight on so many creators that should have been at the forefront of the All-New, All-Different Marvel.

Secret Wars: Secret Love is so good, with so many varied creators, it has reminded how much Marvel has dropped the ball with the relaunch in a few months. Whitley not on a Misty Knight series? Cmon! Michel Fiffe not being given something! Marguerite Bennet, Katie Cook, Felipe Smith, Gurihiru, Kris Anka, this comic is filled with folks who are comic stars. This is the type of creative line-up I’d be building a line around. I want more of this!
