Helheim gets second printing, and new cover!
Bleeding Cool reports that the simultaneous titles Uncanny and The Uncanny are going to play nice.
Basically the opposite of the incident between DC and Clive Barker and his Next Testament.
Gives you a little faith in common decency. Even though it sounds like there are lawyers involved still.
CBR has a great preview of Buffy Season 9 #21 up on their site.
Go over there and check it out!
Really interesting interview with Charles Soule, the new writer for Swamp Thing over at Newsarama.
He talks about world building, Superman, Scarecrow, and Alec as avatar of The Green.
Clive Barker’s new comic Next Testament has new information out about it.
It looks like it is going to be a 12 issue series with art by Haemi Jang. The plot revolves around:
“Julian Demond, captain of industry, has left behind everything to begin a walkabout — he believes he’s on a mission from God. While in the wasteland, he comes across a figure unlike any other, who calls himself Wick…and claims to be God. Their journey will span the globe, as neither man merely wants to make a mark on the world, but a scar.”
This starts coming out May 29th and I for one am very very excited!
From the Dark Horse press release:
“Peter Hogan (Resident Alien) returns to the pages of comics’ greatest anthology, Dark Horse Presents, with King’s Road!
With artwork from Phil Winslade and lettering by Steve Dutro, King’s Road is sure to be another gem for the Eisner-winning monthly.
“King’s Road is about someone from another world—a magical, semimedieval world—who came to Earth about twenty years ago, and settled down and raised a family here. But now he has to go back again, taking his family with him, because he’s inherited the throne of that world. Meanwhile, there are all sorts of nasty magical creatures trying to kill him before he gets there,” said Hogan.
Catch King’s Road appearing in Dark Horse Presents #23, on sale Wednesday April 24!”
Sounds pretty decent, and you just can’t go wrong with monsters and the people who hunt them!
The Uncanny already has 7 issues out but it is getting picked up by comiXology so they are doing a big push to get the word out about this pretty stellar looking title.
From their press release:
“The Zen Brawler. The Voodoo Wildchild. The Faceless Mystery Man. The New Age Oracle. The Master of the Steel Skin Technique. The Psycho Soul. And the Gnostic spirit. They are “The Uncanny”. The Uncanny, is a mystery school of revolutionaries fighting against conformity and the genocide of the imagination. Mystery school is a university of the soul, a school for the study of the mysteries of the inner nature of man and of surrounding nature.
A little girl witnesses a battle between the Uncanny and The Thought Police over the life of a stranger. Is this just the wild imagination of a child or the beginning of the unseen war against freedom and imagination?
Living shadows, fractal ego traps and steam powered consciousness. Is The Uncanny a myth or legend?
The Uncanny Prologue is free to download via Comixology (very soon) or Wyldcard Studio´s website.”
This is a seriously cool looking book and here are some preview pages to prove it!
Go check it out.
“7 issues (1 through 6 plus a Prologue issue) in total and a collection of issues 1-3. The books were published through a print on demand site Ka-blam. All of the issues are on sale, and they stay on sale at indyplanet.com.
The Uncanny will be presented via Comixology and Wyldcard’s site on a weekly basis, with also an instant TPB-download of #1-3 if you do not want to wait that long.”
