Project Super Powers Are Go...!

Project Superpowers #0; Dynamite Entertainment

Project Superpowers #0, formerly known as Superpowers comes out this week with the first issue, running a little late due to re-naming the title we think. From the creative team that brought you the twelve part series Justice; Alex Ross and Jim Krueger presents a tale that features superheroes from WWII that now find themselves in the present time.


From the dawn of the 20th Century came a new chapter in mankind's history, unleashed during a time of great war and destruction. It was the beginning of the Age of the SUPERPOWERS, yet with the closing of the Second World War, this new spark seemingly flickered and died.  Until now... Now the story can be told of the great lost SUPERPOWERS -- men and women with incredible abilities who changed the course of mankind forever... and who had been thought lost ... Until now... Now, DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT and Alex Ross unleash the SUPERPOWERS! This explosive #0 issue features a story crafted by Justice collaborators Alex Ross and Jim Kruger, joined by artists Stephen Sadowksi, Doug Klauba and additional art by Alex Ross. The story of SUPERPOWERS begins here, in the present day with the Fighting Yank, coming to terms with the ghosts of his past and present! As our story unfolds, we journey to the heights and depths of the Second World War and come face-to-face with the great forgotten heroes of the ages, and solve the mystery of where these legends disappeared to after the great war. This is THE event of 2007, and it leads directly into the SUPERPOWERS series! Issue #0 is where it all begins and features 28 pages of story and art PLUS a full SUPERPOWERS color sketchbook by Ross and original Ross interconnecting covers - all for just a buck!

Trade of the week - Aliens Vs Predator Omnibus Vol 1


Although this is not new, I thought it would be a good time to feature this trade, with the second AVP movie being released.


Mankind's two ultimate nightmares come together in mortal combat, and whoever wins-we lose. On the remote planet Ryushi, a small ranching community becomes an unwilling participant in a deadly ritual: extraterrestrial Predators have seeded Ryushi with Alien eggs in order to create the ultimate hunt. But what the Predators don't know is that an Alien queen egg is amongst those they've sent as potential hunting stock, and when the Predators arrive, the hunters become the hunted amidst a monumental swarm of Aliens, and they may need to turn to the very same humans they regard as little more than potential trophies to give them any hope of survival. Aliens vs. Predator Omnibus Volume One packs over 400 pages of excitement and terror into one package, offering the original smash-hit AVP comics series that launched the franchise, plus the exciting continuation of the storyline previously published as AVP: War.


Aliens Vs Predator omnibus Vol. 2 is also available.



 
 

Days of the brave and the bold

The Brave and The Bold #1; written by Mark Waid, art by George Perez and Bob Wiacek

The Brave and The Bold #1; written by Mark Waid, art by George Perez and Bob Wiacek
Watch enough day time soaps and the time slip cracks aplenty with the wash of nothing clear. Turmoil, bickering, two hams fisting the air and it's all quite academic if not for the interplay which really proves the hook for the bait.

The greatest team-up title of all time is back! A proud DC tradition is restored as writer Mark Waid (52, SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES) and legendary artists George P?rez (THE NEW TEEN TITANS, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS) and Bob Wiacek (ORION) put Batman and Green Lantern on the trail of what could be the greatest weapon in the DCU!

The trail leads to Ventura, the gambling planet--wanna bet what'll happen if they don't get their hands on the weapon?

This issue will feature two covers by George P?rez, Cover A spotlights Batman; Cover B spotlights Green Lantern!

The Brave and The Bold #1 from DC Comics


Sean McKeever and Terrell Bobbett flush the start of Spider-Man Family with the new part of the old cart. Reprints, thick count and a swag to swing the bimonthly of another Spider-Man title.

As Jim Carrey will tell you, Dr Pepper has not 19 flavours, but 23. And 23 is a number which can drive you crazy. This has no relation other than issue number to Powers #23 from Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming through ICON.

Collecting and colouring the series which appeared first in Japan, Witchblade Takeru Manga from Top Cow, Yasuko Kobayashi and Kazasa Sumita. A school girl in a monastery, the witchblade and colour. Like metal long enough and it starts to give a taste.

Image takes a swift kick into the ET nads as Invincible #39 from Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley shows up with an alien force looking to make the denizens of Earth their slaves. For when you want superheroes with a bit of joy about them.

Mike Carey, Skottie Young and Greg Land unleash the creep in Legion of Monsters: Werewolf By Night from Marvel Comics. First of a triad features the hairy one what runs around at full moons howling and a scratching at the door to be let in again.
