Support Indie Comics: Check out Aztlan!
By Dustin Cabeal
What a time to be alive when the first thing I have to tell you is "full disclosure, I know this dude." That is what I have to do, though; I know the writer of Aztlan, Pablo Arriaga. He's written reviews, articles, and interviews for Comic Bastards and a great digital friend of mine. That is to say; we've never actually met in person.
Preview: Action Lab's Brigands #4
By Dustin Cabeal
I read the first issue of this series and it wasn't bad. If I wasn't reading a couple dozen books each week I might have kept up with it, but as it is I'll likely just sit down with issues 2-4 and reading them altogether. Speaking of issue 4, we have an exclusive preview below for you to check out!
Dynamite Teases Something - Day 2
By Dustin Cabeal
The wording attached to this teaser was, "Nothing Lasts Forever..." which again, sounds more like you're a company is closing or being bought than an event teaser, but hey... none of my business. I'm going to take a swing in the dark and say that Dynamite is doing a shared universe or something... or it's just the most epic teaser for something new and we won't have any context to go with these teasers to make us care. Either way.
Dynamite Teases Something - Day 1
By Dustin Cabeal
Sigh... seriously comic industry. Ya gotta come up with better marketing. Don't, I repeat, don't take a page out of Marvel's marketing book because that's the worst one to copy. I'll admit, my heart skipped a beat reading the words "All thing end...", but probably not for the right reason. I was thinking Dynamite was getting bought or some shit, but instead... comic event. Yay, just what we need, another publisher doing a comic event... during the summer. See ya tomorrow for the next teaser.
Preview: The Wild Storm #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Well... I just shit my pants a little. I know everyone and their mother had this yesterday and probably bored you with a regurgitation of Warren Ellis' newsletter. I'm not a news site. Not going to pretend I'm breaking this to you. I just post stuff I enjoy or when I have a comment on something. Here's my comment for this... god damn beautiful. I hope the story is good. It's Ellis. It's WildStorm... it should be good. I actually found an old WildStorm button I had gotten at SDCC... it made me sad that there's not more of it around. Still, can't wait until February 15th for this. Oh and I don't actually care about the variants, but I will likely pick this up in print.
Jupiter Jet - A 16-Year-Old Girl With A Jet Pack!
By Dustin Cabeal
Alright, alright, I know I said I wouldn't do any more kickstarters, but hey... every now and again I'm going to find one that needs to be pushed or cool people to support. I don't know much about Jupiter Jet that isn't in the video below or the press release that follows, but I do know one of the writer's (Jason Inman) and he's a hell of a dude. Check out the Kickstarter by heading to www.jupiterjetcomic.com and support the book if you're interested.
This Is Your Second Chance To Get The Comic Bastards Variant For Star Bastard #2!
By Dustin Cabeal
Andrew Clemson is back on Kickstarter with Star Bastard #2. He's lowered the goal, meet the goal and still offering the Comic Bastards exclusive cover. If you enjoy the site, then please, head over to the kickstarter and pledge to get the cover. I enjoyed the first issue of the series and I'm looking forward to reading the second issue and getting my copy of the variant from my own personal pledge. If you need more info, well that's why there's a video below.
Pussycats Returns With A New Mini-Series This March (NSFW)
By Dustin Cabeal
Vince Brusio's Pussycats is back with a new two-issue mini-series that will ship in March of this year. As you might have already noticed the variant covers for this series feature real models dressed as the characters from the comic and were quite popular among readers. Interestingly enough, there's going to be a wider range of covers this time around as "Store Safe" covers have been added making it easier for retailers to display the book out in the open.
Follow The Secret Empire... To The Bathroom
By Dustin Cabeal
I give DC it's fair amount of ribbing so I figured, why not include Marvel in that again? What the fuck is the secret empire? Don't know, don't care. I can't believe that Marvel is still making their interns crank out this bullshit marketing campaigns using words or short sentences. At least they did them all at once rather than sending my six emails. I can't wait to not care about this! X-Citing times indeed.
IDW's TMNT 100 Project Is Interesting
By Dustin Cabeal
Before I get into why it's interesting, let's cover what the project is. Basically, a hundred artists are being asked to draw the Turtles to help raise funds for the Hero Initiative. Now, the Hero Initiative is to help comic creators in need. Why are they in need you ask? Let's just keep it short and simple and say that the overall structure of what makes the comic industry run is pretty broken, but that a fix would probably shutter the industry at the same time.
