Burning like a flame for the Eternals

Eternals #1 (of 6); with Neil Gaiman, pencils by John Romita Jr., colours by Matt Hollingsworth, cover by Rick Berry

Eternals #1 (of 6); with Neil Gaiman, pencils by John Romita Jr., colours by Matt Hollingsworth, cover by Rick Berry
Neil Gaiman and John Romita Jr. join forces to reimagine a tale of head spinning Jack Kirby proportions. At least for those of the main character in the Eternals mini series.

You are thousands of years old. You have amazing powers. You have watched civilizations rise and fall-- so why does no one remember any of this?

Bestselling Author Neil Gaiman (Marvel: 1602, Anansi Boys, Sandman) is joined by superstar artist John Romita Jr. (Amazing Spider-Man, Wolverine) to bring you the eagerly-awaited event of 2006 — ETERNALS!!

Ike Harris has dreams of adventures, love affairs and betrayals, but no one involved remembers or believes him. And who is trying to kill him to keep him from talking about it?


Flexing out the purple pants like a stove top, Giant-Size Hulk from Marvel Comics. Just like inspecting the seams you find at a factory outlet, it's Banner versus the Hulk. Can there be only one winner? And how many tailors does it take to heal a Hulk closet?

Marvel throw about the rice bowls as Uncanny X-Men Annual presents the prelude to the nuptial of T'Challa and Ororo Monroe.

DC Comics unleash it raw with Claw The Unconquered. Now with a last name, the series promises, "violence, torture, decapitation and hot babes." Not for everyone then.

Also from DC, Flash: The Fastest Man Alive. It's the Flash and he's back. But it's not the Flash that's back. It's another Flash that's back. If this is another Flash at all that is. Brought to you by the guys who worked on that live-action series back in the 90s. Sweet muscle suits!

Star Wars Legacy from Dark Horse comics is an all-new series set a century or more after ROTJ of the original trilogy.

Goliath, Demona, Brooklyn, Xanatos and the gang of other stoned creatures return in Slave Labor's offering of Gargoyles.

No having to dodge code here, it's a Leonardo of a turtle kind in Mirage Studio's Tales Of Leonardo: Blind Sight. A blind Leonardo that is. Say nothing of the readers on that other Leo.

Boom! Studios get a little lost with X Isle. Where a team of researches find themselves lost on an island teaming with Geiger-like monsters. Not the radioactive kind.

Tight like a fist full of dynamite, Image Comics shoot the sky with Casanova. Promises of intrigue and a complete in issue story abound.

New world ordered from the chaos of old

Marvel 1602: The New World #1; written by Greg Pak, pencils by Greg Tocchini, inks by Mark Morales

Marvel 1602: The New World #1; written by Greg Pak, pencils by Greg Tocchini, inks by Mark Morales
Back in the heady smog of 2004, Neil Gaiman wrought his brand of English upon the world of the Marvel Universe. Setting the clock back by 400 years, the timing of the cosmos was thrown. Events not to eventuate until far later taking place in the land of dinosaurs(!?) to run away from and whale-bone corsets for women.

Eight issues and down for the miniseries (with art by Andy Kubert, colours by Richard Isanove and lettering from Comicraft), the world of the Marvel universe was righted when the mysterious Rohjaz came to realise what his true was. And that was it...

Return to the world of 1602! Rising stars Greg Pack (X-Men: Phoenix Endsong) and Greg Tocchini (Thor: Son of Asgard) pick up where the best-selling limited series left off--America, The New World! When Captain America was thrust back in time, it changed reality as we know it. Dinosaurs still roam the earth and the Marvel super heroes we know came to exist 500 years early. Witness David Bruce Banner and Peter Parquagh become The Hulk and Spider-Man in the most eagerly-awaited miniseries event of the year!


So now the world is back five centuries from the four. Are these even the same people any more? Though the names remain the same and their motivations in life stay unchanged, it's a new look back into an old world.

From atop the cool stand of silver, Miracleman. Finally in town for the Miracle versus Miracle match Miracleman, trained and sculpted by Randy Bowen from the Bowen Designs academy, will be facing off against the Miracleman from McFarlane Toys.

Long tied in a stangle hold with a sleeper lock amidst a myriad of battles of the legal eagles, this match up between the two men has been dubbed Miracle on Miracle: The Miracle to end all Miracles. The competition stakes are high, the eyes will be primed. Silent psyche outs have already begun in earnest.

Two will enter, one will remain. And then the other will leave shortly thereafter.

Two mighty Marvelmen, pitted against each other in a battle of stares. Who will win? Who's sheen will reign supreme?
