Marvel Comics Collected Editions January 2012 Solicitations

October 22, 2011
By

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.

Ender is recruited into the International Fleet’s legion of child warriors, training to become a commander in Earth’s defenses. His promise is high, and his teachers are sure he will rise to the test — that is, if Battle School doesn’t kill him first.

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.

Marvel Cancels Alpha Flight. And They Should Do it Again!

October 22, 2011
By

This week Marvel announced that they were canceling Alpha Flight with issue #8. This came as a surprise to many because it seemed that Marvel was committed to a long lasting ongoing rather then a mini-series here and there which had been Alpha Flight’s MO the past few years.

A few days later, Marvel released their solicitations for January 2012 and in it we can see the aforementioned #8 and the Alpha Flight by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente Volume 1 Premiere Hardcover that will collect Alpha Flight (2011) #0.1 and #1-4, 120 pages $19.99 – an average of $4 per issue.

So now what? Will the Volume 2 Premiere Hardcover collect #5-8 for $16? Outrageous, I tell you!

Marvel should do the right thing and postpone the Volume 1 and collect the entire run in one book. 9 issues for $29.99 perhaps.

It’s not just Marvel. All comic book companies need to think long term when canceling a title while publishing the collected edition.

Covers by FRANK R. PAUL & DEAN WHITE
In September 1939, a new title hit newsstands and changed the comic-book world forever: MARVEL COMICS #1 had arrived! And this 64-page package wasn’t your typical assortment of super-powered, straight-laced do-gooders. This was something completely new. The Human Torch, the creation of Dr. Phineas Horton, was neither man nor hero. He was a fiery force of nature who shocked and unsettled mankind. The half-human/half-Atlantean Sub-Mariner ventured from his undersea kingdom not with a mind set on peace, but bent toward vengeance! They’re flanked by an eclectic set born out of the energy and imagination of the Golden Age — including the heroic Angel, robot invention Electro, hard-edged detective the Ferret, cowboy Masked Raider and jungle adventurer Ka-Zar. Painstakingly restored with a host of bonus material, this volume is a must for every comic reader’s library. Collecting MARVEL COMICS #1 and MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #2-4.

CCL Podcast #316 – EC Is Everywhere

Collected Comics Library Podcast #316
26.2MbKb; 28m 32s

Ever since Comic Con in late July and thanks to Fantagraphics and IDW, there has been lots of talk of the EC line of comics. The talk heated up even more this week with the announcement of GC Press’ revival of the EC Archives started by Gemstone. Today on the show I straighten all out as to who is doing what. All projects are vastly different with much of the same material.

Also on the show I call out Marvel as it pertains to their most recent solicitations. There were blatant mistakes and I find it aggravating, amateurish and a bit humorous.

Finally there is news about Batman: Earth One, The Harvey Awards, a wonderful blog from The Comics Journal and Shipping and Product changes for Fantastic Four Omnibus by John Byrne Volume 1 you do not want to miss!

Can Matt Murdock deny the hero within? After SHADOWLAND, Matt left New York, turned his back on his life as Daredevil, and hopped a cross-country bus hoping to forget the bloodshed and betrayal he presided over as leader of the Hand. But when he finds himself in a small desert town that doesn’t take kindly to outsiders, he quickly realizes there’s a reason behind the locals’ enmity. Corruption has spread though the townsfolk and to the highest levels of law enforcement — and when the sheriff learns of Matt’s past as a super hero, he aims to eliminate the threat altogether. With his life on the line and innocent citizens in need of a hero, Matt Murdock will face his legacy as Daredevil and decide once and for all whether to be a hero, or else abandon his life as a crime-fighter and start anew. Collecting DAREDEVIL REBORN #1-4.

As more people are transformed — including three of the X-Men — Spider-Man and the remaining mutants will have to battle foes on multiple fronts to survive the day and win their teammates back!
