By the BIG TWO…
Yes folks the waiting is almost finally over and BATMAN SUPERMAN #1 is hitting the Frog shelves…
Written by the AWESOME Greg Pak, probably best known for his brilliant WORLD WAR HULK run…
And with arts from the genius that is Jae Lee of DARK TOWER and BEFORE WATCHMEN OZYMANDIAS…
This first book is going to focus on the first meeting between the two big hitters of the DC UNIVERSE…
Placed around the same time as Morrison's ACTION COMICS #1…
We're willing to wager that this book is going to be a big ol' Buddy comic team-up hit…
With the chalk and cheese characters playing off against each other...
We've got the inherantly good SUPERMAN and the bad to the bone BATMAN...
It's going to be AWESOME!!!...
To jump on it HOLLER...
It's ZOMBIES VS VAMPIRES VS HUMANS and it's by MAX BROOKS!!!...
Yes folks the guy who's billed as one of the founders of the zombie renaissance, Max Brooks has sold millions of books...
He's the guy who penned The Zombie Survival Guide which really started the whole zombie prep subculture, it's graphic novel companion Recorded Attacks debuted as #1 on the New Times Bestseller list...
He followed that up with WORLD WAR Z adapted by Brad Pitt into what is sure to be one of the biggest blockbuster movies of 2013....
And now he's coming back to comics, aided on the arts front by another guy who's no stranger to crazy cannibals from his work on CROSSED, the very talented Mr Raulo Caceres....
EXTINCTION PARADE #1 is not just about ZOMBIES though...
While it is the undead Zombie herds that are wiping out humanity, it seems the humans might just have an unlikely ally...
VAMPIRES!!! Yep the bloodsuckers are worried the ZOMBIES are going to wipe out their food supply...
Which tee's it all up nicely for one massive gore filled fight fest!!!...
HOLLER to get EXTINCTION PARADE #1 added to your pull-list!...
The wait is over folks and the BIG BLUE BOYSCOUT IS BACK!!!...
Okay so he's never really been away...
It's just that this time we think this is going to be a SUPERMAN comic that actually makes the character pertinent again...
You see the Frog Bros have always been fans of Sup (How could we not be?)...
But even we have to admit that the character is a hero for a bygone age, just too good, too nice and a character that really works when in the JUSTICE LEAGUE with the other flawed members to work off...
In fact... Sorry needed a pause before putting this out there...
Apart from the GROUNDED storyline by J. Micheal Straczynski and RED SON by MARK MILLAR, there really hasn't been many good Sup reads over the last few years...
Even the great GRANT MORRISON couldn't buck the trend on the NEW52's ACTION COMICS...
We're willing to bet that's all about to change...
How can it not with SCOTT SNYDER and JIM LEE getting together for SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #1?...
If these guys can't breath some new life into the MAN OF STEEL then for me it's time to hang up the red pants...
HOLLER to get SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #1 added to your pull-list!...
Oh go on then, just one last time...
And so just in time for KICK ASS 2 hitting the silver screen...
We have KICK ASS 3 #1 (of 8) hitting the massively more important FROG shelves...
Yes folks this week we get re-introduced to, what are for me, two of the better comic book characters from the last few years, KICK ASS and HIT GIRL...
It's the comic gods of MARK MILLAR and JOHN ROMITA JNR teaming up for the last time on this sure fire hit...
So we left off with HIT GIRL being put in the clink...
And that's exactly where this one jumps off...
With KICK ASS the leader of JUSTICE FOREVER, leading a jail break...
When he's already a costumed hero that's been outlawed after the big old smack down from KICK ASS 2...
Is he now in too deep?...
HOLLER to get KICK ASS 3 #1 (of 8) added to your pull-list!...
