Marvel Zombies 2 #1; The living dead are back in their second instalment of feeding on the undead flesh. The creative team of Robert Kirkman (Invincible/ Ultimate X-Men) and Sean Phillips (Criminal) return with also Arthur Suydam drawing his popular painted zombie covers. In this epic zombie tale, many years have past and the zombies return from consuming other world's flesh to their own universe only to have their very own 'Civil War' crisis. Let the chumping, biting and eating begin! The series is set in an alternate version of the Marvel Universe (Earth-2149).

Are you ready for Marvel Zombies Civil War? Forty years have passed and the zombies have come back home after eating just about everything else in the universe. Yum yum! What awaits them back on Earth, though, is beyond anything even these shambling monstrosities could have conceived! This is a new series featuring the amazing, irreverent take on the Marvel characters that became last year's unexpected smash hit. They're back and more stomach-churning than ever! The smash hit series is back, daring to ask: "Whose stomach are you in?" 32 PGS./Parental Advisory.

Other Comics to Keep an Eye Out for this Week:

DC showcases; Death of the New Gods #1 (of 8), written and penciled by Jim Starlin (Mystery in Space). With the death of Lightray, one of the New Gods in Countdown #48, it looks like the death-poll will continue in this mini series. The New Gods were created by Jack "The King" Kirby.

From Image Comics; The Sword #1, written and drawn by the Luna Brothers (Girls). This new neo fantasy on-going series features a young female student by the name of Dara. What does a unique sword and an ordinary girl have in common? I sense some high action sword swinging drama coming to events.

Dynamite Entertainment presents; The Boys #11, writer/co-creator Garth Ennis (Punisher MAX); Art/co-creator Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan). The series has had probably the most controversy, beginning with Wildstorm comics and now continuing on with DE. This current issue see the Boys travel to Moscow. Recommend to mature readers.

DVD of the Month

Superman Doomsday animated movie, from producer and director Bruce Timm (who brought Batman: 'The Animated Series' and Justice League Unlimited). Based off the comic series 'The Death of Superman', by Dan Jurgens.

'When Lexcorp accidentally unearths the intergalactic serial killer Doomsday, Superman battles the creature head-on in the fight of his life. The world collectively mourns it's fallen hero; humanity realise it will never feel truly safe again. Superman's enemies rejoice - all but Lex Luthor, who grieves the loss of his own demented manner, setting off a chilling chain of events that even he couldn't have foreseen'.


Starring Adam Baldwin (Firefly) as the voice as Superman, James Marsters as Lex Luthor (Buffy) and Anne Heche as reporter Lois Lane.

Yes, yes, Knights in Satan's Service and whatnot. Of course, for the more adventurous, there is the other version of this comic not on the shelves. Frankly because no shelf can sit it. Check out the destroyer edition of the comic when you're next in store, it's one massive hoagie.

A mysterious and beautiful figure reveals to each KISS member that they carry the world-protecting warrior spirits of the 4K. But have they learned this incredible secret too late? Get in on the ground floor of this sprawling, epic adventure as realities crash and the Demon, the Starchild, the King of All Beasts and the Celestial open up an all-new KISS universe!

Kiss 4K from Platinum Studios


End of the road and a tale of woe in four ripples with Silver Surfer: Requiem. J. Michael Straczynski and Esad Ribic are on the silver board as the bald one looks to complete his final voyage. No whales then? No, that must have been something else.

The Ride: Die, Valkyrie! and it's one before the other two in the close out with Doug Wagner and Brian Stelfreeze and a hot assassin kicking it with a car chase and tons of guns. And not the kind from many bicep curls.

Spider-Man Fairy Tales is pretty much as it says. C.B. Cebulski, David Sexton and Ricardo Tercio take Spidey and throw the webslinger into the sorts of stories what makes them Fables kick that Jack Horner out on his can.

Jim Valentino looks inside with outside on the right side while Drawing From Life. Stories from life set to move you, set to make you shift and to make you uh... not eat paper?

Brian Holguin and Philip Tan go to town with Bairn in a world of gods and magic in the new running Spawn: Godslayer. One by one the hunt is on and the maggots still make up the dinner plate with a special sauce of necroplasm.

Trade of the week


Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson return from the black bolt off one bullet and go blasting the caps with The Boys Volume 1: The Name of The Game. All sordid and sorted keeping the boys with their super powers in line and in check.

 
 

Let's hear it for The Boys

Tuesday, August 15, 2006 - Soon Van
The Boys #1; written by Garth Ennis, art and covers by Darick Robertson

The Boys #1; written by Garth Ennis, art and covers by Darick Robertson
Over in the Marvel Universe, they have the government running their Civil War trying to kick and keep the super heroes in line. In the realm of Wildstorm, they have The Boys.

Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan), co-creators of two of the most thought-provoking comics of the last decade, introduce their first original collaboration for a new monthly series: THE BOYS - a dark, twisted look at super powers, super-people, and the men and women who make sure the world's "heroes" never go too far.

With a quarter-million super-powered beings in the world, someone's got to watch what's going on beneath all those masks and capes. In a U.S.A. uncomfortably like our own, that task falls to The Boys, a government-funded group of operatives dedicated to keeping the "supes" in line.

Team leader Billy Butcher, described by a confidential C.I.A. report as "the most lethal individual ever encountered by this agency," is on the hunt for new recruits - but it takes something special to join this outfit. You have to be smart. You have to be strong. And you have to hate supes with every ounce of black passion in your heart.


Finding a new home with the Dark Horse crew, Arvid Nelson and Juan Ferreyra reinstall the mystery, magic and tales of murder in Rex Mundi. Taking place in a Paris where magic is real and the Catholic Church never lost its swing.

Running in a pack with Devil's Due Publishing, Nightwolf: The Price featuring a superhero werewolf in Quad City. But where are the DJs? Pack it up now, choo choo, ride on this with Stephen L. Antczak and Nick Marinkovich.

Markosia continue the plugging away of big roaches and all in Starship Troopers: Dead Man's Hand. Tony Lee, Neil Edwards and John Feeney running with the ranks of Tamari's Tigers.

Meta and action again as Deadman lives once more with Bruce Jones and John Watkiss rubbing the defib paddles to jump start it out of the pages of Vertigo Comics.

Schoolgirl with a mean fist, Sakura, gets her own solo in Street Fighter Legends from UDON Comics. Looking down the path of Ryu, Sakura goes travelling for brawls against such fighters a E. Honda, Zangief, Rainbow Mika, Karin and Dan Hibiki. Ken Siu-Chong and Omar Dogan are the roadies in this adventure.

In Claws, Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Joseph Michael Linsner bring about a Marvel tale that sees Black Cat and Wolverine stranded on an island where they are the prey of some twisted game.

Andrew Cosby, Johanna Stokes and Rafael Albuquerque kick back with the Savage Brothers from Boom! Studios. Where they don't run away, but they run into danger.

IDW Publishing, Jay Faerber and Bob Gill turn the spotlight onto the miracle child with Angel Spotlight Connor One Shot. Ahh, memories, so many, which one is the right one?
