56, Week of
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
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
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
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
