Marvel Comics Collected Editions April 2012 Solicitations

January 26, 2012
By

Marvel Comics has released their April 2012 solicitations.
After seeing my friend @ronxo gush about Darkhawk Classic Vol. 1 on twitter, I did a little research and found out that this comic was done by Danny Fingeroth and Mike Manley. Although I am vaguely familiar with the 1990′s hero, I did not know that my friends created the comic. I’m also excited to see Secret Warriors Omnibus. As many of you know I’m reading all the Nick Fury I can in 2012 and this will be a great addition to my library.
What are you getting?

Marvel Comics has released their January 2012 solicitations. If you have not done so  already, please go read my thoughts on the cancelation of Alpha Flight with issue #8 and the subsequent pre-order for the Volume 1 hardcover. Based on early feedback, it looks like I stirred the pot a bit. Always glad to oblige.

Also offered up is Marvel Masterworks Captain America Vol. 6. Gray Morrow, one of my favorite artists, does pencils, inks and letters in issue #144 (with help from John Romita Sr.), in which The Falcon dons his familiar red and white costume for the first time.

Now, to test the limits of Wolverine’s healing abilities, these vampires, demi-gods and madmen will push Logan to the limits of his endurance in ways more gruesome than he’s ever encountered. These killers might have powers similar to Wolverine’s, but only one can be the best there is. Collecting WOLVERINE: THE BEST THERE IS #1-6.

DC Comics Collected Editions January 2012 Solicitations

October 22, 2011
By

DC Comics has released their January 2012 solicitations and geezz…another new edition of Batman: Year One? Sure why not? It’s a must own for every comic book fanboy. I’m just surprised that this new edition didn’t coincide with the release of the animated Year One.

I, like you, am surprised to see DC Comics Presents: The New 52. But can you spot the theme? All titles collected here are essentially, Vertigo titles. Interesting move DC, and a cool one at that.

Lastly, Superman In Action Comics Archives Volume 6. Are Superman and Clark Kent the same person? It all starts here, Lois.

Now there’s a pile of dead bodies in a burning safe house outside El Paso. The Rat Catcher has finally slipped up, and a washed-up FBI agent has one last chance to hunt him down before he disappears forever. But as the two master manhunters spiral in towards each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, each of them hides a secret from the other – secrets that could destroy them both.
New York Times best-selling author Andy Diggle (THE LOSERS, Daredevil) partners with future superstar Victor Ibañez in a tense Vertigo Crime thriller that’s unrelenting to the very last twist.
