Fire Flying Its Way Back

Senerity 'Better Days' #1 (of 3); by Joss Whedon

Senerity 'Better Days' #1 (of 3); by Joss Whedon

From the creator of Buffy and the writer of Astonishing X-men and Runaways comes the prequel series to the blockbuster Serenity film. Following up from from the last Serenity comic mini-series 'Those Left behind'  from three years ago, Joss Whedon revisits his fan-favourite Serenity series with 'Better Days', also a three part mini-series.


Joss Whedon returns to the world of his blockbuster film Serenity with the three issue mini-series Better Days. Better Days revisits everyone's favourite space cowboys in this thrilling, action-packed adventure, with Mal and his crew on a heist that promises a big payoff. What's surprising is that this heist just might make a good on that promise. Whedon reunites with Brett Matthews and Will Conrad, his collaborators on the best-selling 2005 series 'Those Left Behind'. Adam Hughes joins the team for the covers.

Another round with the Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger #1; written by Brett Matthews and John Cassaday, art by Sergio Cariello, colors by Dean White

The Lone Ranger #1; written by Brett Matthews and John Cassaday, art by Sergio Cariello, colors by Dean White
Back in the saddle to once more dish out the western dirt on the crooks, it's the new old tale of that masked man. No Walker here in this blood of a Texas Ranger named John Reid. There is, however, plenty of it in the first issue, an origin refresher for those on the who and the why of the rider upon Silver and friend of Tonto.

Dynamite Entertainment, Brett Matthews, John Cassaday and Sergio Cariello with Dean White present the comic book event of 2006 - The Lone Ranger - rides again!

Written by Brett ("Firefly") Matthews and art directed by John ("Astonishing X-Men") Cassaday - who also provide each "dynamite" cover (that's right fans - Mr. Astonishing X-Men and Planetary is the single cover artist, THE LONE RANGER #1 also features veteran illustrator Sergio Cariello and colorist Dean ("Punisher") White.

The Lone Ranger #1 is an unrelenting tale of the West. A young man searches for revenge, only to find justice... and that he's something greater than he ever thought he could be.


Over in DC, it's an eight part Mystery In Space with Jim Starlin, Shane Davis, Matt Banning and Al Milgrom on the flight deck. Spanning wild regions of space, it begs and answers the question of "Who is the new Captain Comet?"

Thirty years on and Harvey Pekar returns with a new four-part American Splendour from Vertigo Comics. With art by Dean Haspiel, Ty Templeton, Hilary Barta, Greg Budgett and Gary Dumm, Glenn Fabry to help tell the stories, do things get bitter or better with age?

Clear waters in a Bad Moon Rising Special from Avatar Press. Brian Pulido and Wellington Alves work this tale of supernatural hack slash horror with what might be a hint of underlying romance. That could be well off the mark of course.

Speaking of Avatar Press and horror, Mike Wolfer handles the Escape of the Living Dead Fearbook.

Michael Avon Oeming and Ivan Brandon hit The Cross Bronx at Image Comics. It's New York on highs and lows and when an assassin guns down the bottom tier gang bangers, Detective Ortiz checks in with comatose girl for answers.

Peter David and Pascal Alixe return to Neil Gaiman's pocket (un)reality in Marvel 1602: Fantastick Four. Told in five, Doom returns, but for reason which remain unclear.
