Due To Arrive 02/12/10
The Gosh! Authority 24/11/10
I have returned. Wrassle racoons I did not, but I did eat some alligator sausage which I believe is a similarly dicey thing to do. Anyway, I am hideously jetlagged so please excuse the following:
First off a salute to the King with the release of Boy Commandos by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby HC, a collection of the 1940s “kid gang” comic about an international group of young’uns fighting the Nazis or – as the kids themselves called ‘em – the Ratzis. Back then it ranked as one of DC’s top three hits alongside Batman and Superman but has since fallen into (relative) obscurity. In last week’s blog I noticed our Andrew put up a picture of Paul Levitz dwarfed by his own book 75 Years of DC Comics:
Reading said behemoth last week I came across this photo which made me wonder about the Father Ted science of photography. Is Kirby very small or just far away?
You be the judge.
This week sees the release of the first of three Batman and Robin issues (that’s #17 - #19, folks) written by Paul Cornell (Captain Britain and the MI:13) who I ran into at US Border Control in Atlanta airport last week. Having met him just once before (about two years ago) I spent half an hour wondering it if was him and deliberately avoiding eye contact in case it was someone else, whilst simultaneously trying to look like I wasn’t avoiding eye contact in case it turned out it was actually was him after all and he thought I was being rude. Thankfully he’s both lovely and awkwardly English and was doing exactly the same thing to me. Here’s a preview of Batman & Robin #17 illustrated by Scott McDaniel (Nightwing) in which the corpse of Bruce Wayne’s former girlfriend is stolen from her grave. “This is a very dark story, in the Grant Morrison tradition, with some evil stuff going on under the surface and some mad bubbles on top.” Two interviews here and here worth a read. He’s well chuffed about getting the gig so I reckon you can trust him enough to stick with the title post-Morrison. “I see no reason to turn the volume down just because I'm only here for three issues,” said he.
In other Bat-related shenanigans, Eisner Award-winner J.H. Williams III (Promethea) and Amy Reeder (Madame Xanadu) give you Batwoman #0, a one-shot special which picks up roughly where the Detective Comics story Elegy left off and serves as a bridge between that and the upcoming Batwoman ongoing series. Newsarama talk art with Williams here where you can see a couple of preview pages, covers and whatnot too.
2000AD is a weekly comic that pootles along diligently without ever getting a mention on here. Even if you’re not a regular reader of the series you might want to pick up this week’s issue for Brendan McCarthy’s (Spiderman: Fever) Dr. WHAT? a two-parter parody in which a time-travelling Doctor rides a Mega-City Portaloo, obliviously altering history and changing the future in potentially catastrophic ways. Apparently he wanted to do a Dr Who/Judge Dredd team-up but the BBC quickly put the kibosh on that idea and did this instead. It concludes in next week’s issue.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of long-out-of-print Salimba, the series about the jungle goddess who combats pirates, monsters and even zombie apes (you heard), by Thundercats writer Steve Perry, illustrated by the Eisner-Award-laden Paul Chadwick (Concrete). Along with the original stories – Pirate’s Heart, Worm Boy Heaven and the three-parter The Well of Night – you’ll also be getting a 10, 000 word Salimba prose story – the last piece of fiction Perry wrote before his untimely demise earlier this year. Long time friend Steve Bissette (Swamp Thing) provides illustrations to the new piece and has been chronicling the Perry homicide (!) on his blog. 10% of all profits made on the book go the Hero Initiative (the charity that aids veteran comics creators in need) who helped Perry in his final months. Publisher Nat Gertler tells Comicbook Resources all about it.
Sophie Crumb: Evolution of a Crazy Artist HC is what happens when your dad is R. Crumb. "My dad is a compulsive archivist," said Sophie. Having kept everything she’d drawn from the minute she started R. Crumb was able to compile a collection of her work up the age of 28. "You can trace this evolution of her development through her drawings, and I'd never seen a book like that," he said. "If [an anonymous person] drew all the time like that from early childhood and it was all saved, [it would] be an interesting way to study their development." Sophie reckons it’s a little embarrassing but accepts it’s part of her lot as a Crumb and an autobiographical cartoonist too. There’s an interview with the two of them here and if you’ve not seen Sophie’s work before she keeps a pretty up to date blog full of sketches, paintings, all sorts.
In trade paperback this week you’ve got Luna Park by Kevin Baker and Danijel Zezelj (Loveless) and Dave Stewart (DC: The New Frontier) which I mentioned on the Gosh! Blog back here when it came out in hardcover almost exactly a year ago and will lazily refer you back to. There’s also Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep: Dust to Dust Volume 1 TP in which Chris Roberson (iZombie) writes the prequel to Philip K. Dick’s classic sci-fi novel. Newsarama interview him here, and CbR have some preview pages on show.
Walking Dead Volume 13: Too Far Gone TP hits the shelves this week collecting issues #73 to #78 of the series. Coincidentally #79 is also out so buy ‘em both and you’re bang up to date and then some. Comixology have a preview of the new issue.
As for comics, here’s the spiel:
Firebreather the movie debuts on Cartoon Network today in the States – a CGI adaptation of the Image series about a teen superhero son of giant monster demons – and to coincide with its release there’s a new comic on the shelves too. Firebreather Volume 3: Holmgang #1 is a good jumping on point if you’re new to the series. Preview!
Also on Cartoon Network is the MAD TV show featuring the infamous Black and White spies. MAD Special: Spy Vs. Spy gives you the best classic stuff by Antonio Prohias and Peter Kuper as well as all new stories from some new guys too.
Another telly-related release is the Yo Gabba Gabba! Board Comic: Gabba Ball #1 from Oni Press. I’m going to come right out and say I’ve no idea what Yo Gabba Gabba is but if you do you’ve probably got Nick-Jr-watching kids who’d like the tie-in kid-proof board comic. Details on the innards over at CbR.
A couple of new things from Marvel this week not least of which is the hardcover collection of Joe Casey and Phil Noto’s Avengers: The Origin. Casey talks to CbR here just before the miniseries began. It also includes a reprint of 1963’s Avengers #1 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the team’s first appearance.
Speaking of whom, if you liked Stan Lee’s Soldier Zero by Paul Cornell you’ll probably want to pick up Stan Lee’s The Traveler #1 by Mark Waid, the second launch (of three) in Lee’s efforts to create an all-new comic universe. Rave review here and a preview at CbR. Waid talks about what it’s like to work with Stan Lee. “Building with Stan is like taking a master class in storytelling. I can barely remember where my car keys are, and here's a guy who's nearly twice my age who still has a clarity of vision that's stupefying.”
Astonishing Thor #1 (of 5) is a new one from Robert Rodi and artist Mike Choi spinning out of the whole destruction of Asgard thing. Rodi talks about it here, and there’s a preview too.
In other news, Dan Clowes is reportedly adapting Wilson for the screen, to be directed by Alexander Payne (Sideways, About Schmidt). Let’s not forget he was nominated for an Oscar for his Ghost World screenplay so the guy knows what he’s doing. Who’ll play Wilson?
Since he and Chris Ware are now forever linked in my mind after their tag-team signing at Gosh! I should mention that I read the latest Acme Novelty Library and it’s typically brilliant, totally depressing and very funny too. I even broke my no-reading-comics-in-public rule to do it. Buy that thing immediately.
And lastly, the folks at Nobrow have a new exhibition to shout about:
Murmuring Landscapes launches tomorrow and features the work of Bristolians Rob Hunter and Jon McNaught whose latest work Birchfield Close was a huge success here at Gosh! (still have copies if you're lacking). There’ll be prints, originals, and 3D work galore. Head over to the Nobrow site for details.
That’s it for another week. Can I go to bed now?

The Gosh! Authority 17/11/10
Kia ora, Goshophiles!
Hayley is still in the US of A, this week perfecting her raccoon-wrasslin’ skills in the wild woods of Minnesota. She’ll be back next week, but for now you’ve got me. Buckle in, because I’m putting the pedal to the metal this week (as a young man might say on the mean streets of Paraparaumu)!
In case you missed it, we’re happy to say that there will be a Gosh Exclusive Bookplate Edition of Grandville Mon Amour, the latest in the adventures of Detective Inspector Archie LeBrock by Bryan Talbot. The book is out early next month, but we’re not expecting these to last too long, so get in quick and reserve yours now!
Every now and then a book it released that is so hefty, so colossal, so shelf-defyingly huge that we can’t actually supply you with a bag to carry it home in. 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking, by Paul Levitz, is one of those books. It’s not cheap, but it’s an absolute must for DC fans, the kind of book you’ll be forever kicking yourself for not having picked up when you had the chance. Shipping in it’s own handsomely decorated box, the book is a lovely piece in and of itself, with the design sense of Taschen’s top end art books applied to a year by year trawl through then history of DC Comics. It has to be seen and handled to be truly appreciated, and luckily enough we have a display copy out for your perusal. Taschen also have plenty of images, including the below dwarfed Paul Levitz, here.
You know, Christmas is just around the corner. It’s been a tough year, and winter stretches out before you like a long, grey night of the soul. Just imagine; an interminable Christmas afternoon sat in front of the fire, your belly full of turkey and pudding. You’re bored, listless. Then you notice it, sitting under your coffee table where you were forced to store it: 75 Years of DC Comics. You go over and pick it up (bending at the knees so as not to throw your back), settle yourself back with some mince pies and a nice cup of tea (or perhaps some mulled wine), and read. Immediately you’re transported back to your childhood, those hazy days of yesteryear, full of bubblegum cards and stolen kisses, tyrannical schoolmasters and weekly trawls around the newsagents to get all the titles you were after. The afternoon passes in a bliss of sweet nostalgia. Or you could read it this weekend and look at all the pretty pictures. Up to you really.
Whatever you choose, in celebration of the book’s release we very pleased to be able to offer a super deal on a number of DC’s deluxe Archive range of books. If you’ve long had your eye on those saucy slices of comic history, but not quite wanted to splash out the full-price cash, then good news! We’ve been given the opportunity to offer a selection of these titles at 50% off the regular retail price! If you email us expressing interest in this deal, we can send you through a spreadsheet lisiting the books that are available. Just mark in the books you would like in the sheet, and email it back to us before 3pm on Monday 22nd November. Please note that supply of the books is conditional upon stocks at the supplier end, so we can’t guarantee you’ll get them, but we’ll certainly try for you, and we’ll drop you a line when they arrive. Also, we would ask that any books ordered should be collected within a two week period of their arrival, as space to store such items is extremely limited. Joe Kubert’s Enemy Ace Archives Vol 1 for £19 anyone? For a full list, email us at info@goshlondon.com and include “Archive Sale” in the subject header.
Fans of Alan Moore’s dulcet tones would be well advised to check out the lovely Unearthing Deluxe Boxed Set this week. It’s a spoken word piece by Moore which takes us through the life of his mentor and friend Steve Moore (no relation), the man Alan credits with teaching him how to write comics. With a soundtrack by a troupe of talented musicians, including Adam Drucker & Andy Broder (aka Crook&Flail) Mike Patton, Stuart Braithwaite, Zach Hill & Justin Broadrick, and a packaging imagery by acclaimed photographer Mitch Jenkins, this 2-hour narrative is spellbinding. The box set brings together both CD and vinyl versions of the full performance, as well as an additional EP with highlights from the score, imagery from Jenkins and a copy of Moore’s original script. Well worth it.
Our friends at Blank Slate publishing, who are producing an ever-more impressive range of titles with each passing quarter, bring us two new books this week. First up, The Girl and the Gorilla, by Madeline Flores. What’s it about? Aurelie is having a rough day. But her foul mood is quickly forgotten when she crosses paths with a Gorilla. Her day only gets more interesting from there! A chat with historical characters, a hunter who takes her under his wing and a forest of unusual residents. What else will she encounter? And who will save the day? German-born, US-based and thoroughly European in her style, Flores’ art has a lovely fluid, accessible quality to it, and the book looks like a lot of fun. A quick review of it (and my next pick) can be found here. Note the positive notice for At the Mountains of Madness, by the way. Bookplate editions still available. (I’m such a shill)
Second out the gate from Blank Slate is Sleepyheads, by Randall.C, a beautiful, lush dreamscape of a comic. It has an hypnotic, flowing style to it which reminds me of Pederosa’s Three Shadows, though the story is markedly different. The Comics Journal says: Randall C.’s stories are a Chinese puzzle box of which Neil Gaiman even would lose track of the pieces. He exells at metaphoric storytelling jumps, literally letting the characters dive into their own stories and incorporating that story into the main storyline where borders between dreams, stories and reality blur into one whole beautiful cuddle. All of this is accentuated with meanderings on life and love, wrapped in allegory, metaphor and playful language. Pick one up for a flick-through and discover it for yourself.
A little late to the party here, but the new Best American Comics 2010 is now out, guest edited this year by none other than Neil Gaiman. If you’re unfamiliar with these books, they’re a great way to find out about comics and creators who made a splash this past year but you may have overlooked. It’s a mix of extracts from longer works and self-contained shorts from a line-up of talent including Bryan Lee O’Malley, Gabrielle Bell, Chris Ware, David Mazzucchelli, Gilbert & Mario Hernandez, and Robert Crumb, among others. A great gift for anyone you want to introduce to the idea of comics as more than they might think.
David B. is a creator who always gets us a bit excited, so we’re happy to see his adaptation of Pierre Mac Orlan’s classic haunted pirate tale The Littlest Pirate King. It’s the first time we’ve seen David B’s colour art in English, and it’s a lovely thing to behold. It’s lovely to see Fantagraphics produce these kinds of lovely all-ages books with such high production quality. Long may it continue. Check out a preview here , and one of those ginchy Fantagraphics flick-throughs over here.
Okay, time to point some bullets:
- Batman, Batman, Batman! Did you know that if you say his name five times fast while looking in a mirror, he’ll appear behind you and steal your belt? True fact. Or maybe I got confused. Anyway, this week is a bumper crop for Grant Morrison Bat-fans, with both Batman Inc #1 and (the slightly late) Batman The Return #1 shipping out. Bruce Wayne is back. Oh yeah, I totally spoiled it for you! Previews for the former here!
- Dan Brereton is a legend, and Nocturnals is still an old favourite of mine, with it’s lush, painted family of misfit monsters. This week he has an art book on the shelves called Dan Brereton: The Goddess and the Monster. Newsarama interview him over here.
- Mike Mignola and Richard Corben make a great team, producing a consistent series of one-shots that have been some of the most entertaining books coming out of the Hellboy camp (which is high praise, given the consistent level of quality in that stable). This week they’re at it again with Hellboy Double Feature of Evil, featuring two stories with your favourite paranormal investigator. Dark Horse have a preview.
- The Extremist is one of the great lost Vertigo mini-series, never before collected. The Peter Milligan / Ted McKeever thriller (conceived by Brendan McCarthy) is a story of murder and betrayal against the backdrop of the extreme S&M scene. Controversial on its release in 1993, Vertigo have at last released it as a part of their Vertigo Resurrected line.
- Osborn #1 by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios follows Norman Osborne as he establishes his power base in the top-secret prison he now calls home. Also features a back-up story by Warren Ellis. Newsarama preview it here.
- Elmer GN, by Filipino artist Gerry Alanguilan, is the story of evolved, sentient chickens making a stand for their rights as the newest members of the human race. I think it might, just might, be some kind of allegory. It’s certainly getting a lot of praise, and looks very nice. There’s an amazing 30-page pdf preview here. But it has naughty bits, so no reading at work!
- Castle Waiting is a wonderful book, worthy of a good deal more attention than it gets. It’s a witty fantasy tale of women who work to build a refuge from an abandoned fairy tale castle, telling each other stories and doing their best to deal with the obstacles that life throws in their path. Creator Linda Medley has a clean, clear style and a knack for understated character. A contemporary of Bone, it’s certainly recommended to any fans of that series. The second hardcover volume is out this week, and you can find a video flickeroonie here.
- The third of Fantagraphics’ bumper Jason collections is out this week. What I Did HC collects together mystery adaptation The Iron Wagon, silent vignette collection Sshhhh!, and – my personal favourite of all Jason’s works – Hey, Wait.... If Hey, Wait... doesn’t break your heart just a little bit, I’m afraid to say that my diagnosis is that you’re dead inside.
- Eisner Shop SC is a collection of rare early Will Eisner stories from the pre-Spirit days, including Wags, the Black X, Uncle Sam, Mr. Mystic, Lady Luck, Baseball Comics and more.
- Last Days of American Crime by Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini is a great slice of near-future sci-fi noir, set at the eve of the activation of a mind control device which will make crime impossible in the USA. A career criminal looks to make one last heist before the switch gets flicked. A fun read, with absolutely gorgeous art
And now for the news:
- Thought Bubble, the universally well-regarded comics convention held in Leeds as a part of the Leeds International Film Festival, is this coming weekend. It’s a four day event running 18th-21st November, with its centrepiece being the one day show held on Saturday 20th in Saviles Hall. John Romita Jr is the guest of honour, with Becky Cloonan making a special appearance, as well as a bevy of great UK writers and artists. Bryan Talbot will also be officially launching his latest, Grandville Mon Amour. More details can be found here. I’ll be in attendance, so if you see me wandering about, feel free to buy me a drink. Or, y’know, just give me the money and I’ll get it myself later. Promise.
And that’s me done! Ka kite ano!
Andrew.

Grandville Mon Amour HC Bookplate Edition - Exclusive to Gosh!
The announcement of any new work by Bryan Talbot is always something special, a testament to the importance of the man to comics both within the UK and on the international scene. Bryan’s last book, the hugely enjoyable Grandville, was no exception, and certainly lived up to expectations. Delivering a rip-roaring steampunk adventure that playfully yet respectfully tips its hat to European comics tradition, the book is a core stock item for any self-respecting comic shop.
With that in mind, it’s with tremendous pleasure that we can announce the Grandville Mon Amour: Gosh! Exclusive Bookplate Edition! Featuring a signed and numbered colour print featuring exclusive art by Bryan Talbot for the standard cover price of £16.99, this edition is strictly limited to 200 copies.
The second in a planned series of books, Grandville Mon Amour returns to the world of Detective Inspector Archie LeBrock, a world Bryan himself describes as "like Jules Verne and Sherlock Holmes directed by Quentin Tarantino-with animals!"
Set three weeks after the events of the first book, LeBrock once again travels to Paris, but this time in active pursuit of his old enemy Edward “Mad Dog” Mastock. After Mastock, a former guerilla fighter for the British resistance, violently escapes the executioner’s blade and begins a murderous rampage toward Paris, Brock is forced to resign his post and take the law into his own hands to see justice done.
It’s all entertainment of the highest calibre, and there’s even a trailer, embedded below for your viewing pleasure (or at this link, if you prefer).
The book is due for release on 2nd December, 2010, though Bryan will be officially launching the book at Thought Bubble on the 20th November, at Saviles Hall in Leeds. Bryan will be there all day to sign copies. On Sunday he will be giving the Grandville Presentation in the Hepworth Room at the Leeds Art Gallery at 3.30pm - 4.30pm. Admission is free.
Bryan’s books always do very well for us, so my recommendation is to get in fast and nab yourself a copy. If you’d like to reserve a copy or arrange a mail order, drop us a line at info@goshlondon.com.

The Gosh! Authority 10/11/10
Hey there, friends of Gosh!
I’m afraid Hayley has gone to New Orleans to learn the jazz trumpet, so you’re going to have a couple of weeks with me as your bit on the side. I don’t expect you to love me, or even stay the night, but you better keep me in the manner to which I am accustomed.
Anyway…comics!
The highlight of the week is something which will no doubt wind up as one of the highlights of the year: Acme Novelty Library Vol 20, the latest in Chris Ware’s continuing catalogue of bittersweet despair. Tangentially connected to Rusty Brown, this volume follows the life of its main character, Jordan W. Lint, from birth to death at the rate of around a page a year.
The always readable Robot 6 blog says: Acme Novelty Library #20 is about an a$$hole. The book’s main character, one Jordan W. Lint, is a bully, a coward, an adulterer, a drunkard, is frequently callous and cruel to friends and family, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In some regards he is an outright monster. Full review here.
It’s easy to take a creator of Ware’s calibre for granted, but he really is one of the few true geniuses working in comics today.
Speaking of geniuses, not that I want to throw the word around too much, but my second pick of the week would have to be the Fantagraphics release of The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec Vol 1, by Jacques Tardi. It’s not his weightiest work (that would be the amazing It Was the War of the Trenches, released in English earlier this year), but it’s certainly his most fun.
Set in Paris, in 1910 (though later volumes shift to post-WWI), the series (nine so far, with the tenth pending) follows cynical heroine Adèle Blanc-Sec as she uncovers the occult secrets of the criminal underword. This first in a planned series of handsome hardcover volumes collects the first two albums, Pterror Over Paris and The Eiffel Tower Demon. Recommended for fans of Hellboy, Beasts of Burden and Good Stuff You Should Be Reading. You can get the patented Fantagraphics Flip-through vid here.
Our erstwhile sister company Knockabout have two new releases out this week. First up is one which is getting a lot of press right now: Depresso (or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Embrace Being Bonkers!), by Brick.
The book is an often harrowing, honest and engaging autobiographical (albeit told through the fictional character of Tom Freeman) account of the author’s battles with depression. Using deft humour and an accessible style to convey his story as one of hope and struggle against obstacles from within and without, editorial cartoonist Brick (aka John Stuart Clark) has made a book that doesn’t fall into the obvious traps often seen with this kind of story. It’s an excellent work from an assured craftsman. Richard at the FPI blog has an insightful review here.
Also shipping this week, available in softcover for the first time, is A Disease of Language, the collection of Eddie Campbell’s adaptations of Alan Moore’s spoken word pieces A Birth Caul, and Snakes and Ladders. The collections also features an extensive interview with Moore by Campbell taken from the second issue of his sadly defunct Egomania magazine. The book makes for a wonderful read for fans of either creator: a particularly personal work on the part of Moore, and an effortless mixed-media adaptation of a complex narrative by Campbell. If you missed the long out of print hardcover, now’s your chance.
John Hicklenton was one of the most distinctive, unsettling artists to come out of the pages of 2000AD, a spiritual successor to Kevin O’Neill in many ways. I remember as a young man feeling decidedly uneasy with his work on Nemesis the Warlock; the twisted figures and ugly faces oozed a kind of corrupt darkness that stood in marked contrast to anything else I was reading at the time. I was in equal parts repelled and fascinated by it, and always followed whatever projects he was working on. As you’re probably aware, Hicklenton passed away earlier this year after a long struggle with MS, but not before he completed a final piece of work intended to act as his epitaph. 100 Months is powerful stuff, a primal scream of visual poetry from an artist who will be remembered. Pat Mills remembers him here.
There is criminally little available in English of the works of Stéphane Blanquet. Apart from the the odd appearance in anthologies such as Zero Zero, or Blab, and a story in the recent Dungeon Monstres Vol 3, his distinctive style has attracted little English language attention. Fantagraphics are helping to remedy that this week with the publication of Toys in the Basement, a children’s book with a pleasingly dark side. Blanquet is a master of the grotesque, so this twisted tale of vengeful toys should be a lot of fun. Video preview here.
From the archives of Things We Nearly Didn’t Order And Boy Would I Have Felt An Ass comes Pang the Wandering Shaolin Monk.
Collecting the webcomic of (nearly) the same name by Ben Costa, Pang is an historical kung-fu fiction, based on the legend of a wandering Shaolin monk (duh) in 17th Century China. It’s a great read, and although you can get the whole thing online for free as a webcomic, the book looks like the kind of handsome artifact that will cause people to raise their eyebrows appreciatively when they visit your house and see it on your shelf. Or perhaps you could leave it lying about, as though by accident, and then say something like “Oh, what’s this historically accurate yet highly entertaining book about the Shaolin monks of 17th Century China doing out here?” Just a thought. Anyway, if you like the fantastical/historical stylings of Usagi Yojimbo (and why wouldn’t you?), then this is a pretty good bet.
Post-apocalyptic dinosaur survival stories (as the ever-popular genre is known) don’t get much better than Mark Schultz’s seminal work Xenozoic Tales (or Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, as it was known through part of its history). It’s strange to imagine now that this series was touted as the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in its day, with a cartoon series, video games, action figures, trading cards and more. It never quite hit the giddy heights of TMNT, but it did okay, and then largely disappeared from popular culture. As to the comics themselves, Schultz did a total of 14 issues of the series, and they are a beautifully illustrated homage to classic adventure stories, particularly to the works of Frank Frazetta & Al Williamson. Unavailable since the mid-2000’s, Flesk have released a complete collection of the series, a thumping great 352-page oversized softcover that arrives this week. Definitely worth the time and money. Previews can be found here.
Jonathan Hickman has quite rightly become one of the hottest new writers in Marvel’s thoroughbred stable. His work on SHIELD, Fantastic Four and Secret Warriors has felt fresh and exciting, full of big concepts grounded by solid character work. Before his Marvel debut, he built his reputation on a series of titles at Image, among which was superhuman sci-fi A Red Mass for Mars. Now available as a collection, the mini series – beautifully illustrated by Ryan Bodenheim – tells of an apocalyptic future where an Earth battered by climate change, super-viruses (natural and technological), nuclear terrorism and amoral superbeings suddenly finds itself under threat from alien invaders. It’s a lot more action-oriented than Hickman’s usual creator-owned work, but he certainly shows the chops necessary to make it work. A few feelgood preview pages from the first issue can be found here.
Gosh, is that the time? Okay, let’s take a little walk down bullet-point lane:
- Fans of boxing and avatars of all that is good in the human spirit can bliss out this week to DC’s reprinting of Superman Vs Muhammad Ali, the classic Denny O’Neil / Neal Adams team-up. It’s available in two formats: a facsimile hardcover edition, which reproduces the story in its original oversized form, and a normal comic-sized hardcover which, oh so teasingly, has a number of extra features including sketches and so on. Which to choose? Which to choose?
- Atomic Robo has a new mini starting, Atomic Robo: The Deadly Art of Science. Are you reading Atomic Robo? You really should be.
- Now, I’m not normally one to recommend video game tie-ins, simply for the reason that more often than not the effort put into them is, well, cursory at best. But when the creative team on that video game tie-in is Cameron Stewart & Karl Kerschel, well, I’m left with little choice. They could do a My Little Pony comic, and I’d probably still be able to recommend it. So it’s with great pleasure that I heartily give my advance approval to Assassin’s Creed: The Fall, a three-issue mini-series which transplants the (excellent, by the way) game series into Tsarist Russia. Preview.
- Nick Spencer, the upcoming and very friendly writer who recently popped through Gosh’s doors, has been given the reigns of a T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents (type that five times fast) relaunch at DC. With art by Cafu and covers by Frank Quitely, it looks like a nice start for the classic Wally Wood characters. Preview here.
- Ian Edginton (joint holder, along with Dan Abnett, of the Hardest Working Writer in UK Comics award) and artistic collaborator Davide Fabbri return to the world of the Victorian Undead this week. We’ve had Sherlock Holmes battling zombies and contending with Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, but now Holmes and Watson find themselves pitting their wits against the vampiric menace of Dracula. It’s all in good fun, and a lot of fun it is.
And now for the news:
- Have you been salivating at the gigantic League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 1969 cover we have lurking at the top of our stairs? Well, you’ll be happy to know that Kevin O’Neill is now only a scant 12 pages away from finishing the book, putting us well on track for a release sometime around April 2011. Are you excited? I’ve seen a bunch of coloured pages and let me tell you, I’m excited!
- Our friend John Dunning (writer of Salem Brownstone, among other things) has alerted us to the onedotzero_adventures in motion festival at the BFI Southbank, running the 10th – 14th November. It’s an eclectic mix of visual arts featuring everything from an interactive installation by fashion designer/artist Cassette Playa, through to a screening of cut-scenes from the Call of Duty: Black Ops game. In between there somewhere is a showing of Steve Sale’s documentary Superhero Me, following his efforts to become a real-life costumed crusader in Epsom. Yes, Epsom. In Surrey. You can find out more about the man and the movie at his website here, and more about the onedotzero festival here.
- Big congratulations to Stephen Collins for winning this year’s Jonathan Cape/Observer/Comica Graphic Short Story competition! You may have seen Collins’ excellent work in the Solipsistic Pop anthologies. If not, do yourself a favour and check them out, and then jump on over to his blog, where you can also check out his winning entry. A real talent to watch. (Image below not from his winning submission. It’s just pretty great.)
And that’s me outta here until next week!
Andrew.
