Planet Death #2 adds a little depth to all of the action

Posted on by

Last man standing! After a brutal barrage of alien gunfire decimates the entire landing force, Corporal Scott stands alone, left to bear witness as the alien horde’s towering hover ships skewer any remaining survivors. The human beachhead completely shattered, Scott must use every weapon in his arsenal as he single-handedly battles his way towards the devastating alien weapon he’s been tasked to destroy. But the alien army isn’t the only threat lurking on Planet Death. Hunted by a savage apex predator, Scott is thrust into a brutal battle for survival. There’s no backup. No escape. Just one mission: destroy the weapon or die trying.

Dark Horse presents the Supercrooks Library Edition

Posted on by

Mark Millar and Leinil Yu’s supervillain heist comic series will be collected in the Supercrooks Library Edition, arriving in July 2026 from Dark Horse. Written by Millar, penciled by Leinil Yu, inked by Gerry Alanguilan, colored by Sunny Gho, and lettered by Clayton Cowles, this hardcover edition will collect all four issues of the supervillain comic series and will feature a cover by Yu.

Why do supervillains always pull jobs in the cities with all the superheroes? The last place you’d want to rob a bank is Metropolis or Gotham, because you’re only going to get caught and tossed in prison. But Europe doesn’t have any superheroes at all. If you’re an American supervillain looking to make a few bucks, there’s worse places than Spain to hang out for a few weeks and get a suntan while you pull a legendary job against one of the greatest criminal minds of all time–who’s retired to the Costa Del Sol and has his loot stored away in a secret location.

Supercrooks Library Edition (112 pages, hardcover, 8” x 12.1875”) will be available in bookstores and comic shops on July 7 and 8, 2026. It is now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop or bookstore for $49.99.

Planet Death #1 Feels Like the Warhammer 40K Comic We’ve Been Waiting For

Posted on by
Planet Death #1

Millions of miles from home, hundreds of ships descend into the stormy atmosphere of a hostile frozen world. On board, an army of resolute men and women brace for the coming assault. They are an invasion force, on an impossible mission — destroy the devastating enemy weapon garrisoned below. Planet Death #1 delivers an action packed issue that feels like it was ripped out of the world of Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000.

Planet Death #1 doesn’t deliver anything new in its concept, but instead delivers a visceral story that’s just packed with visuals that feel familiar but still keep you in awe.

Written by Derek Kolstad and Robert Venditti, Planet Death #1 is a fairly predictable comic that puts readers, and its characters, right into the meat grinder with a planetary invasion gone horribly wrong.

Kolstad and Venditti don’t give us massive battles with countless numbers of bodies thrown into the mix. Instead, the dup narrow the focus a bit and follow Corporal Scott and his battalion that are part of the first wave. The issue follows everything from the preparation to the drop to the attempt to survive those first moments where Scott winds up being the lone survivor of his team.

But Scott isn’t quite the faceless soldier and we get a tease of his motivation and a reason to cheer him on, for him to make it home. The experience is a mix of Warhammer 40,000 with All You Need is Kill, and add in a little bit of Starship Troopers. It’s a straightforward concept and idea that doesn’t veer too much from its basic concept.

The visuals by Tomas Giorello are impressive. With color by Sunny Gho and lettering by Tom Napolitano, the comic looks amazing with art that perfectly fits the concept. The futuristic settings and characters look great and the action is fierce and chaotic. But, like the story itself, the overall look of so much feels a bit derivative of what has come before. Corporal Scott’s preparation looks a lot like animation of a Space Marine in Warhammer 40K getting prepared. The aliens they face look like the Locust in Gears of War. None of it is bad but it all creates a bit of deja vu while reading the comic.

Planet Death #1 is an entertaining comic that knows exactly what it is. It’s loud sci-fi action and doesn’t deviate much from that. It’s all about the chaos and a mission with large explosions, lots of action, and a rock and roll attitude about it all. The bodies pile up, the death count is high. It’s everything you’d want and expect from this sort of series.

Dawn of DC delivers three new superhero series, City Boy, The Vigil, and Spirit World, in May

Posted on by

“Dawn of DC” is this year’s initiative from DC Comics featuring new series, new creative teams, and new characters all-together! In May, the comic publisher will release three new six-issue limited series each featuring Asian superheroes. Check out the solicits below!

Spirit World #1 (of 6)

Story: Alyssa Wong
Art: Haining
Cover: Haining
Variant Covers: Dustin Nguyen, Trung Le Nguyen, Zu Orzu
On Sale May 9, 2023

First seen in Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate #1, Spirit World features Xanthe, a non-binary Chinese hero with the ability to travel in and out of the Spirit World – the realm of the dead, and that of the living. Xanthe possesses the ability to burn items folded from ceremonial joss paper and turn them into real objects that can be used in the physical world. Their super power is based on the East Asian custom of burning joss paper at gravesites to send resources to ancestors in the spirit world. In this debut issue, written by Alyssa Wong with art by Haining, Xanthe forms a reluctant alliance with DC’s bad boy of the mystic arts, John Constantine, to rescue Batgirl Cassandra Cain from a horde of jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampires). Haining provides both the main and 1 in 50 ratio variant covers, additional variant covers by Dustin Nguyen and Trung Le Nguyen, plus a special AAPI Heritage Month variant cover by Zu Orzu.

The Vigil #1 (of 6)

Story: Ram V.
Art: Lalit Kumar Sharma
Cover: Sumit Kumar
Variant Covers: Mukesh Singh, Lalit Kumar Sharma, Anand RK, Pop Mhan
On Sale May 16, 2023

This mysterious team of South Asian metahumans made their first appearance in Lazarus Planet: Next Evolution #1 and can be seen again in issues #1070 and #1071 of Detective Comics. Written by Ram V, with art by Lalit Kumar Sharma, The Vigil is Arclight, Saya, Dodge, and Castle, a group of individuals given powers they didn’t want, determined to stop metahuman research and tech created for military applications at any cost. Along the way, they’ll encounter super heroes that could be allies or enemies, not a surprise for a group that exists to shut down state-sponsored superhumans…and clean up the mess before any hero or villain arrives, as if both the crime and The Vigil were never there. Artist Sumit Kumar provides the main cover, with variant covers by Mukesh Singh and series artist Lalit Kumar Sharma and Anand RK, with Pop Mhan providing a special AAPI Heritage Month variant.

City Boy #1 (of 6)

Story: Greg Pak
Art: Minkyu Jung, Sunny Gho
Cover: Minkyu Jung
Variant Covers: Minkyu Jung, InHyuk Lee, Michael Cho, Alexandre Tefenkgi
On Sale May 23, 2023

Both DC and WildStorm fans have already been introduced to Korean super hero Cameron Kim, a.k.a. City Boy, in the WildStorm 30th Anniversary Special #1 and Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn #1. Cameron is just a kid trying to make a living, using his powers of speaking to cities to find lost and hidden goods to pawn, just trying to get by. But having these powers also means that he hears everything about these cities, everywhere and all at once, including their histories and the truths behind them. In his two current appearances he’s already made “friends” with Gotham City (including a rat avatar made from the city’s scraps), but only time will tell if City Boy is received as openly by Metropolis, Amnesty Bay, Themyscira, or other cities in the DC Universe. This six-issue series reunites writer Greg Pak with artists Minkyu Jung and Sunny Gho, and the debut issue features a main cover and 1 in 50 ratio variant cover by Minkyu Jung, and additional variant covers by InHyuk Lee and Michael Choi, with an AAPI Heritage Month variant cover by Alexandre Tefenkgi.
