Outland Comics Newsletter: Outcries!

No. 78, Week of March 5, 2007

Welcome to Outcries! – Another month has just flown by and that means it’s time for a new Feature of the Month for March! And since this month the long awaited feature film 300 comes out we’re highlighting the genius behind the Graphic Novel on which the movie is based – Frank Miller! So throughout the month of March we’ve got a nice selection of titles and storylines that Mr. Miller is known for or has been associated with over the years.  Catch up on some of the classic Daredevil or Batman titles! Sin City Trade Paperbacks are 25% OFF – and the featured Back Issues are also 25% OFF throughout March.  Check them all out in March’s Feature of the Month!

It’s a BIG Comic Book week this week with a TON of TITLES arriving Wednesday!  There’s still more follow-ups going on with everybody’s favorite Civil War! Captain America #25 CW, a Civil War Poster Book, Civil War: Battle Damage Report, and Civil War: The Initiative, Mighty Avengers #1. Plus the events/tie-ins, etc., continue in Fantastic Four #543, and the Incredible Hulk #104, and also in Punisher #45.  And in the “all good things must come to an end” department there are the final installments of Uncle Sam & Freedom Fighters #8 (of 8) and the Fantastic Four: The End #6 (of 6)!  And this week we see the second installment of the Steven King’s Dark Tower: Gunslinger Born #2.

Some other things coming this week include: Owly Volumes 1, 2, and 3. “Owly” is described as the “little ‘indie’ book that could”. Owly is a comic book about, well, an owl named Owly. This all-ages series from Top Shelf has earned rave reviews from all corners for its beautiful art and thoughtful storytelling. Owly is a shy, thoughtful sensitive little guy, with a solid group of friends. His tales are silent, with thoughts and words expressed through icons rather than speech. It’s easily one of the best reads available, regardless of genre or age group. It is simple, in a deceptively complex way.

And then there’s Sheena the Queen of the Jungle!  The very first Female Superhero is back! Co-created by Will Eisner with a story by Robert Rodi & Stephen De Souza (Screenwriter for Die Hard)! The Sheena Preview – both Covers A & B – available for only 99 Cents!

There’s also more with the latest 52 (week #44) and the latest selection of Variant Covers, Trade Paperbacks, Graphic Novels and Hardcovers! And Clifton provides his pick of the week.

Clif’s Pick of the Week: Wolverine #51.  Remember back in the day when fights would break out between two characters for no apparent reason, but they always seemed to happen over and over again? Remember how no matter how many times they had already happened, you always wanted another fight between Spider-Man and Venom? Or Hulk and the Thing? Well, mine was Wolverine and Sabertooth and this is one of those fights that made me love them so much. They said that starting with issue #50, we would learn the true connection between Wolverine and Sabertooth and while we are yet to get any kind of answer to that question, we are treated to a huge fight that has so far lasted two issues. By the end of #51, it felt like there were maybe 3 or 4 lines of dialogue and the rest was total carnage. At this point, I could care less about the connection. We get great storytelling by Jeph Loeb (sort of) and brilliant art by new-comer (sort of) Simone Bianchi. And there’s a black & white version that looks even better! And let’s face it, who knows when the next fight between these two will be. It’s a pretty lost concept……....which was sarcasm, in case you missed it.

Enjoy!
