by Joe Gillis, Jan 30 2015 // 12:30 PM

spider-gwen-cover-1-crop

Superheroes are more popular than ever on the big and small screen and in the pages of comics. But often the stories just feature a bunch of super-dudes running around doing super-dude things. Where are the super-women? Don’t worry, there’s at least one in the form of Marvel’s Spider-Gwen, who’s about to debut her own brand new solo series.

Here’s all the scoop from Marvel’s official press release:

“She’s Gwen Stacy. She’s smart, tough, and charming. She drums in a punk rock band and goes to high school just like you. Only she can lift a car and has spider powers! Just don’t tell her father, NYPD Police Chief George Stacy!

But you knew all that already! What you don’t know is Gwen is back home following the events of Spider-Verse and you won’t believe what she’s got waiting for her!

Now is your chance to get on board with the breakout character of the year as she makes her bombastic debut into her very own ongoing series.”

Check out the preview pages after the break. Look for Spider-Gwen #1, written by Jason Latour with art by Robbi Rodriguez, to arrive in comic book stores and via digital on February 25.

ANGELAFS10-1-Cover-Crop

No doubt about it, when the Angel TV series finished its run, we felt a little sad. Fortunately, the series came back in the form of a comic from the folks at Dark Horse.

But that’s not all. We were also treated to other comics in the same universe. Case in point today is the upcoming Angel & Faith Season 10 #1.

Here’s what you need to know:

Angel’s work is never done. During his most recent world saving, a part of London was transformed and flooded with magic. Who better to watch over this magical community than Angel? At least, that’s what he thinks. Meanwhile, Faith starts a new chapter in her life—slaying zompires alongside Buffy?!

Sign us up for this one when it comes out. In the meantime, take a look at some preview pages after the break. Look for Angel & Faith Season 10 #1 to hit stores on April 2.

Deadpool_vs_Carnage_1_Cover-Crop

Someday we will see a stand-alone Deadpool movie. Until then, we will have to content ourselves with his occasional cameos in other character’s movies as well as his appearances in comics. Fortunately, he’s in comics quite often.

Case in point is the upcoming limited series Deadpool vs. Carnage. Here’s the scoop directly from Marvel:

Carnage is on the warpath – moving across the country, butchering as he goes! The authorities are powerless. So how do you stop a psycho? Bring in another psycho!

Here’s a First Look at Mark Waid’s New ‘Daredevil’ #1

by Joe Gillis, Feb 21 2014 // 12:00 PM

Daredevil_1_Cover-crop

Putting the movie aside, the character of Daredevil is still one of the most dynamic in comics. And hey, we don’t really blame Ben Affleck for all of the movie’s problems. He didn’t work alone.

Fortunately, the comics are still cool and now there’s a brand new one featuring the “Man Without Fear” hitting stores soon. Written by Mark Waid with art by Chris Samnee Daredevil #1 looks to be a fine reintroduction of the character to readers.

Here’s more from Marvel:

Gifted with an imperceptible radar sense, blind lawyer Matt Murdock patrols the streets with a Billy club and a passion for justice. Only this time – it’s a brand new city, with even more dangerous foes. Join Matt Murdock as he journeys from the dark streets of Hell’s Kitchen to the sun-drenched boulevards of San Francisco.

And the scenery isn’t the only new thing in store for Ol’ Hornhead. A world of changes are in store for Matt Murdock as old haunts and familiar faces rise up to give the devil his due. Changes that will turn his life upside down yet again!

Look for Daredevil #1 to hit stores on March 19. Check out the preview pages after the break.

Check Out a Preview for ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Season 10 #1

by Joe Gillis, Feb 18 2014 // 12:00 PM

buffy-season-10-comic

There’s no doubt Joss Whedon has had a profound impact on the geek landscape. One of his first TV shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, proved genre programming could be a hit with audiences and spawned a cult following that endures to this day, even thought the show itself went off the air in 2003.

Fortunately, the adventures of Buffy and company have continued, at least in the pages of comics. Dark Horse took up the challenge and released Buffy Season 8 starting in 2008. Now, they’re about to release Season 10.

Of course, we’ve got previews. Here’s more about the season:

New season. New rules. The age-old battle of Slayer vs. vampire is the focus of Buffy’s life once again—it’s downright nostalgic! But with all the toying with magic she’s done lately, this girl should know it’s time for another game change . . . Shouldn’t she?

Look for Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10, written by Christos Gage with art by Rebekah Isaacs, to arrive in stores on March 19. Check out the preview after the break.

Get A First Look at Marvel’s ‘Secret Avengers’ #1

by Joe Gillis, Feb 12 2014 // 10:00 AM

secret-avengers-1-cover-crop

There’s no doubt the Avengers are pretty cool. From comics to movies and back again these heroes take on the tough assignments and make things happen.

And this March, they’re back. Here’s more (including previews):

The Earth is in danger. And only the world’s most effective secret squad can save it. Too bad that’s NOT the Secret Avengers! Three missions kick off at the same time: one in the air, one on the ground, and one in…space?! And no one is ready for what comes next – except the attackers!

Now, Fury, Coulson, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Spider-Woman, Maria Hill, and even the villainous M.O.D.O.K. must work together if they hope to achieve the impossible. But first, they’ll have to survive!

Check out the previews after the break. Look for Secret Avengers #1 to hit stores on March 12.

Get the First Look at Warren Ellis’ ‘Moon Knight’ #1

by Joe Gillis, Feb 7 2014 // 2:00 PM

Moon_Knight_1_Cover-crop

It should come as no surprise we’re big fans of writer Warren Ellis around here. His work is inspired and he brings a different sensibility to anything he takes on. In a great way.

So yes, we’re pretty excited (to say the least) he’s writing the upcoming Moon Knight comic series from Marvel. Want to know more? Of course you do.

“The touchtone for this book, for me, has been ‘Weird Crime.’ Both ground-level action and high strangeness,” says Ellis in an interview with Marvel.com. “This is a take on Moon Knight that unifies all the previous takes, making the character whole and taking him forward into a new kind of crime fiction.”

As a mercenary turned super hero, Marc Spector has faced down everything from werewolves, super villains to his own fractured psyche. Fearsome foes and gruesome threats permeate the darkest corners of New York City. Is Moon Knight ready for NYC? Better yet, is NYC ready for him?

Check out the preview pages after the break. Look for Moon Knight to arrive in stores on March 5.

by Joe Gillis, Feb 6 2014 // 12:00 PM

WATX_1_Cover-crop

We think it’s safe to say that Wolverine is one of the most popular comic book characters of all time. He’s just cool and that’s all you really need to say about him. His coolness continues in an upcoming comic series from Marvel called Wolverine and the X-Men. Here’s what you need to know:

Summer School is in session as world-famous mutants Wolverine, Storm, and more must educate and train the Marvel Universe’s next generation of X-Men! All-powerful inexperience mutants with the power to level cities. What could go wrong? Plus with Fantomex and Quentin Quire joining the staff – the Jean Grey School is in for a wild ride!

But with X-Men’s own lives riddled with deadly enemies and personal crises, how can they hope guide the next generation, when they can barely defend them! A new enemy lurks in the shadows, ready to strike at the heart of the Jean Grey School. And this new organization will test the faculty and students of the JGS like never before!

We’ve got preview pages for the new series. Check them out after the break. Look for Wolverine and the X-Men #1 to hit stores on March 5.
