Hello, all--

Yesterday Marvel unleashed a preview of homage covers for their September initiative Marvel Legacy. Here are the details, please let us know if you want to throw any titles on your lists!

LAST CALL! If this list looks longer than normal, fret not! Because of the looming July 4th holiday, publishers are bundling two weeks worth of product into one order adjustment locking period. Still: you help us out immensely when you communicate to us which of these soon-to-be shipping books you’d like to add to your lists! Your feedback helps determine how many we order of most things!
Bat66LOSH.jpg
BATMAN ‘66 MEETS THE LEGION OF SUPER HEROES (DC) This looks great, with art (not just the cover) by Mike Allred!
DreadGods.jpg
DREAD GODS (IDW) Comic fans of a certain age probably have a deep fondness for the art of BART SEARS, who parlayed his Wizard Magazine art column ‘Brutes n’ Babes’ into a brief comic publishing empire! This is Bart’s return, bringing the equally excellent Tom Raney along for the ride! I’m in!
ROMVTRAN.jpg
ROM VS. TRANSFORMERS: SHINING ARMOR (IDW) The title probably gives you all the data you need to help decide if you want.
TIMEVINE.jpg
TIME & VINE (IDW) Travel through time by drinking a bottle of wine? Yes, please (hic)!
gengone.jpg
GENERATION GONE (Image) Writer Ales Kot could very well be one of the defining comic scribes of our time. This new series asks the question, “what happens when you're poor, angry, and get superpowers you never asked for?”
Astx.jpg
ASTONISHING X-MEN (Marvel) This is the one you’ve been waiting for… all those glorious late 80s/early 90s mutants (+ Old Man Logan) in one place! Written by Charles Soule, drawn by everyone.
sisters.jpg
SISTERS OF SORROW (Boom!) Kurt Sutter, creator of Sons of Anarchy, turns his attention to sexy gun-toting nuns. They’d be pretty hard to ignore, though, right?
bettie.jpg
BETTIE PAGE (D.E.) There are, like, a thousand different covers for this one, but I selected to one drawn by the interior artist to help you make the right decision for yourself.
007.jpg
JAMES BOND: KILL CHAIN (D.E.) Written by Andy Diggle!
robotech.jpg
ROBOTECH (Titan) Now with a new publisher! Will it butter your muffin? Only one way to find out.
superb.jpg
CATALYST PRIME: SUPERB (Lion Forge) These new interconnected superhero books from Lion Forge are catching some buzz. This one’s written by David (Power man & Iron Fist) Walker.
