New Releases

It's time for the last new release Wednesday of the year! Sure, we get comics next week, but that'll be on a Friday, and during the holiday season I'm prone to sentimentality. So, good bye New Release Wednesdays of 2007. I'm sorry you're dead but am quite happy that time continues to move in a normal fashion...

Welcome to the land where comic books roam like wild buffalo. Where Green Lanterns fight Yellow Lanterns and Cable is somehow almost cool again. And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. GREEN LANTERN #25This issue of GREEN LANTERN, the SINESTRO CORPS WAR finale, is easily filled with more "holy crap" moments than any other comic this week...

Oops! I'm a total slacker and I forgot to do my new releases post this morning. Don't fret, though! If you're reading this it means that I've now remembered. On to the comic books that have released today and are new! SWORD #3This makes the top of my list because I was reading it when I remembered to write this...

It's Thursday! That sometimes means new comics day! After the weeks I spent trying to suppress the opinions and writings of Greg McElhatton he still sprouts back up like a Doctor Who-lovin' reed! Take it away, G-Mac. Ha! I'm back! That rascally Kevin thought he could lock me up and gain sole control over the shipping list ...

Can't wait another two weeks for the debut of the featurette/prologue of The Dark Knight before I Am Legend on IMAX screens across the U.S.? Hopefully, this groovy image of Heath Ledger as The Joker from the January 2008 cover of the UK-based film magazine Empire -- along with a short interview -- will whet your appetite in the short term...

A-ha! There are comics out today. I have solved the mystery of the "what comes out today". ACTION COMICS #859The first issue of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's ACTION COMICS was awesome, so here's hoping they can keep it up. Word is John's run continues to kick the ass...

TALES OF WIT & WONDER, ILLUSTRATED! Eureka Productions is pleased to announce the publication of the revised second edition of the long-out-of-print GRAPHIC CLASSICS: MARK TWAIN, the eighth volume in the GRAPHIC CLASSICS series of comics adaptations of great literature. ...

There are a ridiculous number of awesome comics coming out this week. I have to go read them now. Here is a list of one percent of them. LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN THE BLACK DOSSIER HCNot quite Volume Three (which will be coming out from our friends over at Top Shelf in 2009) THE BLACK DOSSIER is something of a LOEG 2...

One of the first things I learned about writing screenplays back in the day: Nailing down the concept in as few words as possible -- 25 or less -- was the ticket to Hollywood. It didn't take me long to learn and practice the concept on the thousands of movies I'd seen in my relatively short life...

I just realized that if I put exclamation points after everything, my weekly New Releases column will have all of the excitement of a Jack Kirby comic! See what I mean! This is great! Now...behold! What lurks beneath the opening paragraph?! A list peppered with pictures of unequaled proportions...
