The Dead Boys are back...
























Still dead, but back...

Yes folks Charles and Edwin, the founding members of the DEAD BOY DETECTIVE AGENCY are back in DEAD BOY DETECTIVES #1... 

The loveable spooks we were first introduced to in Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN have their own ongoing monthly title from Vertigo...

Is the great Gaiman writing it?...

No...

But don't get all upset at that folks as it's been left in the very capable hands of Toby Litt and Mark Buckingham, with art by Buckingham and Gary Erksine...

And yep, the big guy's given his blessing to the project...

For those of you not familiar with the SANDMAN series, the Dead Boys are a couple of former students of St. Hilarions School for Boys, who died about 75 years apart... 

Both horribly at the hands of some rather nasty bullies...

Due to a few different reasons DEATH hasn't taken them on to where they're meant to be...

She will get round to it, in her own time...

But until that time the boys will be entertaining us, solving mysteries...

Interested in going along for the ride? Get in touch and let us know...

It is a story of animals...

























It is a story of wolves and bears...

It is a story of animals... 

Most of all it is a story of WOLVERINE...

And it's FREEKIN' AWESOME!!!...

Oh yes folks ORIGIN II #1 (OF 5) is a Chrimbo treat for all of us that love comic books...

Adam Kubert has knocked it out of the park with some amazingly beautiful art work...

The centre page spread of the bear massacre is worth the cover price alone!...

Throw in Kieron Gillen's super tight script and you've got an amazing comic that could have fallen very very flat... 

Coming as it does a good ten years after the celebrated first volume...

ORIGIN II #1 really is a fantastic start...

And it's got a bear...

Holler now to get the full mini-series!!!...

It's time to get SERIOUS!...
























Alright maybe not serious, it is still a HARLEY QUINN comic book...

But a bit more serious than the #0 issue... 

We've got ol' Harleen's book kicking off properly this week in HARLEY QUINN #1...

Snappy title eh?...

You're probably wondering if we're going to get a stellar roster of artists lining up to plot her way through like the fabled issue #0...

And the answer my friends would be no...

The chap chosen above all others to pencil this one is Chad Hardin, who's awesome work was last seen on JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA 7.3 SHADOW THEIF...

If you missed it we still had copies with those crazy lenticular 3D covers at the time of writing!!!...

If the first few pages are anything to go by HARDIN is going to be a great fit to Harley (check out those pages here)...

And then give us a shout to get on HARLEY QUINN ongoing!!!...

Le Smash!?...
























Yes folks it's the release of the last MARVEL KNIGHTS mini-series from this batch and we've got the Big Ol' Green Smashing Machine taking center stage!!!...

In Paris?!...

MARVEL KNIGHTS HULK #1 (OF 4)...

Yep, yep, yep but is it going to be Le Smash?...

The story kicks off with an amnesiac Bruce Banner waking up with the Seine and seemingly no ability to turn into the Hulk!...

We know that's not going to last though right? I mean it'd be like them releasing the AGE OF ULTRON without ULTRON...

Okay, okay... But they wouldn't do it again!!!...

And anyways we've got it on good authority that the big boy will be making an appearance...

Who's authority?...

Only the mind blowingly creative, creative team behind this beast of Joe Keatinge and Piotr Kowalski...

KEATINGE you'll know from HELL YEAH and MORBIUS THE LIVING VAMPIRE...

And KOWALSKI from his run on the glorious and racy SEX (or at least those of you old enough to read it)...

This really is a creative team taking the Hulk to new places and if the previous 2 MARVEL KNIGHTS mini's SPIDER-MAN and X-MEN are anything to go by we are in for a TREAT!!!...

As always give us a shout to get on it!!!...

OH the Humanities!...

























Exactly one week after the last over arcing Marvel event that promised to shake the universe to it's very core - INFINITY... Comes the next over arcing Marvel event that promises to shake the universe to its very core - INHUMANITY!!!...

Yes folks the week wait is finally over and INHUMANITY #1 is here as of Wednesday!...

C'mon don't tell me you've forgotten about BLACK BOLT detonating a Terrigan Bomb in INFINITY #4?...

I suppose I'll let you off if you did, it was slightly overshadowed by that bit with Mjolnir!...

So anyways you don't let one of those things off without there being some rather significant ramifications...

What kind of ramifications? Well let me tell you...

Terrigan Bombs my good friends release the Terrigan Mist...

Terrigan Mist activates dormant abilities in Inhuman descendants...

Which in turn means there's going to be a whole lot of new 'powered up' folks around for us and the AVENGERS to get to know...

And this one-shot by the AWESOME MATT FRACTION kicks it all off in wonderful style...

And serves as a lovely lead into the much anticipated April release of the new ongoing INHUMAN book...

So come on Guys' n Gals' give us a shout and get on this next big thing right at the start!!!...
