Outland Comics Newsletter: Outcries!

No. 56, Week of September 25, 2006

 

Welcome to another issue of Outcries! – There is a TON of new Comics arriving this week as well as TWO very popular Action Figure sets - Infinite Crisis Series 1 Action Figures and McFarlane’s Dragons Series 4!  We’ve also got Trade Paperbacks, and the latest Variant covers and one-shots for you.  Also there’s Two “Recommended Read’s” from Las Vegas with former IF resident Scott Allen - Thanks Scott! All this plus Justice League of America #2!

Not To Be Missed The October Daily Bugle Newspaper arrives with the latest news on Marvel’s Civil War! Bart Simpsons Treehouse of Horror #12 signals the start of the Halloween season, Stan Lee Meets Spider-Man, Batman (#657) introduces Robin to his new brother (?), then makes his final Journey into Knight (#12) with the Joker, and then meets the Mad Monk (#2)!

My Two Cent’s: the Boss’ Pick of the Week:  Wetworks: Worldstorm #1. Artist Whilce Portacio's legendary Special Forces team is back with team leader Dane forming a new group to take on a world filled with vampires, werewolves and other nasty creatures. They’re the best of the worst. Mike Carey’s writing along with Portacio’s and Trevor Scott’s art is true to the Wildstorm tradition. These guys have used almost all the crayons in the box – mostly the red ones! Looking good!

Guest Recommended Read – from Scott Allen: Greetings from Las Vegas, home of sun-shine, gambling and strippers. I just got my shipment of new comics the other day and then just barely dove into them last night. These are comics which shipped for August, so I am a little behind, but would still like to make my voice heard. Here is some good stuff that I read:

Hellblazer #223. Perhaps you are scared to begin reading Hellblazer. You enjoyed the movie, but just don't know where to begin with good old John's paper mag? Well here is as good a place as any. Issue 223 is a stand alone issue and as good as any Constantine stuff I have read in a while. Denise Mina worried me when she started her first arc, but has proved herself amongst the great writers who have penned our chain smoking warlock. Great place to start.

Astonishing X-Men 16. Whedon never ceases to amaze me, but what really got me in this issue was the artwork. Cassady is just wonderful. His pencils are so crisp and definitive. I look forward to each issue just to gaze upon his work. The story isn't too bad either. You’re probably already picking this one up – and if you aren't – what the hell is wrong with you?

Comics in the News! – Soap Opera’s?! – Tying in with my comment last week – the media has been focusing on Comics – now it’s MARVEL COMICS AND THE GUIDING LIGHT! A number of October and November titles from Marvel will contain a special 8 page story that ties into the November 1 (Halloween) episode of CBS TV's THE GUIDING LIGHT.  Also, CBS Daytime will be running announcements in late October promoting the Comic Shop Locator Service (CSLS) and telling viewers how to get copies of the comics with the free 8-page superhero themed GUIDING LIGHT comic (I can’t wait! Wizard is probably already listing it at $50 for NM).

First the News Media, then Soap Operas – we just have to get Oprah talking about Comics and there’ll be peace around the world!

Outland Comics Web-site – Delays! Delays! The launch of our Outland Comics Web-site has been delayed for a while longer and – fingers crossed – it will be up later this week. We’ll send out a note to let everyone know – so remember to check out Outland Comics.com later this week!

Thanks! Happy Reading!
