Hello, all--
We are happy to link you to a newer comic review site, that features reviews by Velocipal and Velocicustomer Brandon Clarkson! He takes a look at Rafael Albuquerque’s new title EI8HT from Dark Horse, and explains why it’s awesome. Nice work, worth a look!
SCOTT MCCLOUD! Did you hear? VCU is bringing major voice for comics SCOTT MCCLOUD (Understanding Comics, Zot, The Sculptor) to speak on Monday, April 6th. It’ll be at the Grace Street Theater, and it’s free! We’ll be on hand to sell books, and we hope you can come. It’ll be a special night.
Last call for titles debuting on Wednesday, April 15-- if you want anything added to your sub lists, folks, tell us by Monday evening 7pm:
ARCHIE VS PREDATOR (Dark Horse): This needs to be seen to be believed. R rated 80s horror drawn in the Archie style. Weird, good stuff.
*All the Convergence titles this week are ’Zero Hour’ era, meaning mid-90’s.
CONVERGENCE: AQUAMAN (DC) Hook hand!
CONVERGENCE: BATMAN-- SHADOW OF THE BAT (DC) Azrael as Batman!
CONVERGENCE: CATWOMAN (DC) Purple outfit!
CONVERGENCE: GREEN ARROW (DC) Connor Hawke!
CONVERGENCE: GREEN LANTERN PARALLAX (DC) The name says it all!
CONVERGENCE: JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL (DC) The beloved era!
CONVERGENCE: SUICIDE SQUAD (DC) Terse!
CONVERGENCE: SUPERBOY (DC) Leather jackets!
CONVERGENCE: SUPERGIRL-- MATRIX (DC) Probably the most beloved take on the character in a solo book.
CONVERGENCE: SUPERMAN MAN OF STEEL (DC) Steel! The Eradicator! More!
RUNLOVEKILL (Image): Eric Canete is one of the great comic illustrators you might not know by name. You might not know him by name because he barely puts stuff out and has eschewed spotlight-grabbing books in the past. But this high octane sci-fi actioner looks to remind folks why he’s so good.
TITHE (Image): Religion-tinged Top Cow action.
BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA SIX (DE): You know it you’ll want this. Tell us too so we order it for you.
BLOODSHOT REBORN (Valiant): Baby Bloodshot?!? Say it ain’t so!
