Reborn #1 - MARK MILLAR & GREG CAPULLO join forces to create the smash hit sci-fi / fantasy story of the year: REBORN. Where do you go when you die? Not heaven or hell; somewhere else. Somewhere you have to fight to survive. Somewhere the people from the past are waiting for you-the good and the bad.
This is the new book that I am most excited to read. Mark Millar and Greg Capullo is all you have to say. They could be doing Care Bears and I would probably be picking it up to read. Mark Millar always has a good story to tell, pair that with Greg Capullo, this is going to be amazing. The premise is interesting and has a fantasy feel to it, but really could be anything.
Clone Conspiracy #1 - Prepare yourself for THE Spidey story of 2016 as the writer who brought you Spider-Verse, Superior Spider-Man and Spider-Island brings you the next defining chapter in the wallcrawler’s life! The identity of the man in the red suit has been revealed. The Jackal has returned, more driven and determined than ever. He’s offered Spidey’s greatest rogues a chance to reunite with their loved ones in exchange for loyalty. But to what end? With the Rhino, the Lizard, Electro and even Doctor Octopus at his side, things are looking bleak. But who else from Spider-Man’s past has reappeared?! The mystery is just getting started. Can the Amazing Spider-Man stand against the Jackal and a who’s who of his greatest villains? Be there as this blockbuster Spider-Man event kicks off this October in the explosive first issue:THE CLONE CONSPIRACY #1!
Spiderman against a team up of his baddies, has a lot to offer. I am hoping that this is an amazing story and not another cash grab. Spiderman is one of my favorite properties and luckily he is staying out of the Inhumanverse for the most part. I am also hoping that this leads to another Scarlet Spider book. This seems pretty straight up that any Spiderman fan has to get this.
Hard Case Crime Peepland #1 - Times Square, 1986: the home of New York's red light district where strip clubs, porno theatres and petty crime prevails. When a chance encounter for Peepbooth worker Roxy Bell leads to the brutal murder of a public access pornographer, the erotic performer and her punk rock ex-partner Nick Zero soon find themselves under fire from criminals, cops, and the city elite, as they begin to untangle a complex web of corruption leading right to city hall. Like The Naked City, there are eight million stories in The Deuce. This is one of them.
These Hard Case Crime stories have been very intriguing. I initially thought they were all going to be set in the 40s-50s like the game L.A. Noire, which I loved by the way. However, this one takes place in the 80s in New York, so very different from what I was expecting. Since Triggerman was so good, I am going to give this a chance.
Warlords of Appalachia #1 - Southern Bastards meets Dune in mid-21st century America. After the New Confederacy is crushed in a second Civil War, only Kentucky holds out, not recognizing U.S. sovereignty. This leads to a particularly brutal crackdown in a small mountain town called Red Rock, where a mechanic and reluctant folk hero named Kade Mercer rises up to become the first feudal warlord of Appalachia. Features 28 pages of story content
This one I had no idea was even coming. However, their elevator pitch of Southern Bastards meets Dune, count me in. I have no idea if this is going to be any good or not, but seems worth taking a chance on.
Mosaic #1 - Mosaic centers on Morris Sackett, professional basketball player and celebrity. Loved by millions, hated by his teammates. Only Morris is secretly something else, something Inhuman. Coming into contact with the transformative Terrigen Mists has given Morris spectacular new abilities. Imbued with the ability to jump from person-to-person like a ghost, Morris can control the bodies and memories of those he inhabits. But these fantastic new abilities come at a grave cost. Recognized as an all-star athlete, Morris has worked his whole adult life to raise his body to peak physical form, but after his transformation, his living body is no more, and Morris must now rely on other bodies to survive
This is the beginning of the Marvel Now Relaunch and I usually don't comment on stuff like this, but come on Marvel, a black pro athlete? Just furthers the stereotype of black males that have money, either elite athlete or drug dealer. Anyways this seems like a meh, but may surprise me.
Solo #1 - The 'One Man War on Terror' will get the job done! That's right, James Bourne, A.K.A. Solo, is on his own, right where he belongs! Deadly alien weapons are making their way into the hands of ordinary thugs, and Solo is going undercover to locate the source. Things are heating up, and Solo might just wish he had some backup! Deadpool was just the beginning. You haven't seen anything till you've met Solo!
James Bourne, uh don't you mean Jason Bourne? Are you guys completely out of ideas or what? This is one of the books leading Marvel Now? That can't be good. This could be easily the solicit for The Punisher or James Bond, who both have good books out right now. DC proved that this idea doesn't work all that well with Grayson. Hence we have Nightwing back. I think this will be a pass for me.
Losty Boys #1 - The stakes are raised in this nostalgic and unstoppable sequel to the '80s cult classic vampire film, The Lost Boys. Veteran horror writers Tim Seeley (GRAYSON, NIGHTWING, Hack/Slash), and Scott Godlewski (THE DARK & BLOODY, Copperhead) deliver a gruesome and stylish return to the bloody boardwalks and big hair of 1987! Santa Carla, California is on edge. The eccentric coastal town and haven for the undead was finally returning to 'normal' after its last supernatural scuffle left the local coven's head vampire dead and gave newcomers Michael and Sam Emerson a housewarming both violent and bizarre. Now the brothers must once again team up with militant vampire hunters Edgar and Allan Frog when a new gang of ruthless, stunning, life-sucking nightcrawlers known as the Blood Belles emerges from the aftermath to collect Michael's love interest and their lost sister, Star
This is a movie that scared me to death as a little kid. I will be picking this up for sure to see what happens. I am going to have to rewatch this movie and see how it aged. Most likely terribly just like every other scary movie that scared me as a kid. Hopefully this will give us a creepy good vampire story. This goes back to the normal vampire lore before twilight, where the vampires must be invited in, hurt by sunlight old school vampires.
Electric Sublime #1 - Art is anything you can get away with... destroy it all.' Welcome to THE ELECTRIC SUBLIME, where art history, madness, and expression meet in a Pollock-splatter of thrilling crime adventure! When a mysterious change in the composition of a famous painting begins poisoning the minds of its spectators, Margot Breslin - director of the Bureau of Artistic Integrity - must pull famed 'art detective' Arthur Brut out of a mental institution and back into the insanity that sent him there in the first place. Featuring a treasure trove of classical works, under-the-radar art, and a seven-foot talking mannequin, this is comics, imitating art, imitating life.
The premise on this one sounds pretty good. I initially thought whoopdeedoo, a story about art, but art that kills. I'm listening. I don't know why but I think of House solving art murders instead of medical mysteries. Either way this seems like it could have potential.
