The Fury of Firestorm #1

(w) Jeff Lemire (a) Rafael de Latorre

The community of Bedford, Colorado, is a sleepy small town. The people say hello to their neighbors, attend town hall meetings, and root for the local high school football team on Friday nights. But this idyllic small town is thrown upside down when the Nuclear Man arrives and starts… experimenting. Firestorm has turned buildings to sand and people to glass with no remorse and no warning. But what exactly provoked Ronnie Raymond to commit this heinous act, and can anyone contain the fury that is Firestorm?

Brought to you by the incredible team of Jeff Lemire (Absolute Flash, JSA) and Rafael De Latorre (The Penguin) comes the next epic in the Next Level line.

Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 unveils Operation: Blind Bag! Do you dare?

Operation: Blind Bag

If you are reading this, you have been invited to participate in a very special program designed to entertain, enlighten, and enhance your perception of Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 – the “first issue” of the brand-new beginning for New York Times best-selling writer/artist Matt Kindt‘s groundbreaking comic masterpiece arriving on June 24th from Oni Press and Flux House

When Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 arrives on shelves – featuring a die-cut standard cover by Matt Kindt himself – it will also be accompanied by a mystifying token of the ongoing war for the psychic control of America’s heart and mind. Enter: Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1 – Operation: Blind Bag – a fin-sealed, metallic silver “blind bag” containing everything you need to know to escape the reach of the subliminal surveillance agency called “Mind Management.” 

On the outside: A new training protocol designed and written by Matt Kindt with instructions on how to deploy the “blind bag” in your possession to withstand psychic attack by the forces of paranoia and control. 

And on the inside – Operation: Blind Bag commences with an artistic assault on the senses as each blind bag reveals one of 15 exclusive, chase, or rare variant covers spanning four distinct subsets with strictly limited print runs in a manner of aesthetically pleasing alternatives to stimulate your third eye

Operation: Blind Bag

ARTIST VARIANT SUBSET

A curated line of artistic interpretations heralding Mind MGMT’s return, featuring Jenna ChaJeff LemireJesse LonerganFábio Moon, and David Rubín.

NOTE: These covers will be evenly divided across the print run once all rare and chase subset covers have been accounted for. 

“ERROR” EDITIONS BY MATT KINDT SUBSET 

In the process of manufacturing and distributing Matt Kindt‘s open-order, die-cut cover for Mind MGMT: New & Improved #1, it appears that some unfortunate errors accidentally made their way into the blind bagging process, including Korean import and 3-D versions never intended for commercial distribution.

CHASE FOIL SUBSET

Limited edition variants of Jesse Lonergan and J.H. Williams III cover art, reproduced without trade dress on foil stock. 

HYPER-RARE “U.S.S.A.” VARIANT SUBSET 

Featuring guest starring roles from Lee Harvey OswaldPatty HearstCharles MansonRichard Nixon, the command module of Apollo 11, and more, this hyper-rare variant subset consists of six covers unearthing America’s secret history of mind control and information warfare across the 20th Century, as rendered by artist and designer Scott Sugiuchi.

NOTE: One of these covers is a hallucination and will never actually exist. Sorry, and thank you for playing!

Nebula Awards Expands into Comics and Ignores Everyone Involved But Writers

The Nebula Awards has announced the nominations for the 61st annual event which honors the best sci-fi and fantasy writing. This year’s awards expanded with “Best Poem” and “Best Comic” with the latter causing some issues.

The awards are organized by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association and in their announcement, they only listed the “writers” and publishers in the “Best Comic” category.

The announcement was met with negativity with numerous individuals pointing out the “writing” of comics is far more than the script and can be a team that involves pencillers, colorists, letterers, editors, and more, all of whom work together to tell the story.

In their announcement the organization states:

Like the Ray Bradbury Nebula Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation and the Nebula Award for Best Game Writing, these new awards celebrate the writers at the heart of productions that also involve editors, artists, publishers, producers, and a wealth of other team members who make the magic happen.

Some pointed out the award is for “Best Comic” which would indicate the entire comic, not just the script. The organization did engage with individuals, though the response was more “speak up for next year’s awards” and that further promotion would include all of those involved in the comic.

Congratulations to our Nebula Finalists for the FIRST EVER Nebula Award for Best Comic!#SFWA #Nebulas #61stNebulaAwards 🥳
