Spider-Man: Brand New Day is entertaining but is it a good introduction to new readers?

Posted on by Leave a comment

“Brand New Day” wasn’t just a story — it was an era. Spanning almost three years and over one hundred issues, it was a time when a rotating cast of the industry’s most talented writers and artists redefined Spider-Man for the 21st century. The stories they created continue to influence the Spider-Man comics of today — as well as television series, video games and films featuring everyone’s favorite wall-crawler!

The handpicked stories featured in this Brand New edition highlight the scope and spirit of the era — from heart-wrenching to pulse-pounding to deeply human.

Posted on by Leave a comment

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of What If?, Marvel is taking a bold leap into the multiverse to discover mythos-shattering new twists on some of its most definitive stories! The series of one-shots kicks off next month, and Marvel has revealed the covers and story information for the final three What If…? one-shots hitting stands in August!

In What If…? Runaways, Rainbow Rowell returns to Runaways alongside artist Zulema Scotto Lavina to reveal what would happen if the iconic group of teenagers boldly followed in the footsteps of their supervillain parents! Then, in What If…? Captain America, acclaimed writer Marc Guggenheim and X-Men 2099 legend Ron Lim unfreeze Steve Rogers in a world he never saved! And, in What If…? X-Men, rising stars Ashley Allen and Sumit Kumar imagine a world where Professor X was never born and mutantkind’s fate was left in the hands of his evil twin sister, Cassandra Nova!

WHAT IF…THE RUNAWAYS HADN’T RUN AWAY?

Every year, a group of philanthropists gather for a charitable fundraiser…or so their children Alex Wilder, Chase Stein, Gertrude Yorkes, Karolina Dean, Molly Hayes and Nico Minoru thought. When they discover their parents form the Pride, a sinister, sacrificial group that answers to a godly race called the Gibborim, the teens are terrified, shocked and…intrigued? Their destiny awaits, and there’s no running away.

WHAT IF…CAPTAIN AMERICA WAS REVIVED IN 2099?

Leviathan Freedom arrives this Summer from Tom Morello, Marc Guggenheim, Szymon Kudrański, and DC Hopkins

Posted on by

The Grammy-winning guitarist, singer, songwriter, and activist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, and Prophets of Rage is returning to comics for Leviathan Freedom, an all-new sci-fi epic inspired by the true story of American icon Robert Smalls. Morello first made his comics debut with the acclaimed series Orchid in 2011. Morello is uniting with Emmy award-winning writer/producer Marc Guggenheim, artist Szymon Kudrański, and letterer DC Hopkins for a five-issue mini-series event from Amazon’s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line. Leviathan Freedom will debut this summer.

Leviathan Freedom is a sci-fi reimagining of the legacy of Robert Smalls, a man born into slavery who seized his own freedom by commandeering a Confederate warship, sailing himself, his family, and others to liberation.

In Leviathan Freedom, the galaxy is divided by civil war. And the profound human cost of conflict is felt not in the war rooms but by the Doldrums, the laborer caste essential for the war machine–until one man decides to stand against it.

The futuristic adventure series Leviathan Freedom arrives this summer from Comixology Originals.The first issue features a cover by Sedat Oezgen with subsequent covers by Szymon Kudrański.

Chapter 3. With the murderer revealed, Axel Jindari’s hunt for the truth takes him to the Barren Reaches, a forbidden land that no one has set foot in for centuries– or so he thought!

Our middle issue is, appropriately, our fulcrum where I turn over some rather large cards and reveal much of what’s been going on. My hope is that people are pleasantly surprised that these revelations take place in the middle of the series rather than at the end. We still have a lot more story to tell.”
