Image Announces Blind Boxes For 25th Anniversary
By Dustin Cabeal
Ah man... I should have been consulted on this. I would have done used pairs of Kirkman's underwear. Dick pics from the Sex Criminal creators. A picture of someone's Savage Dragon tattoo, with permission to copy the tattoo on your body as long as you put a "limited 2/2" somewhere near it. A signed original copy of one of Eric Stephenson's "comics, you're all at fault" speeches. A lawsuit settlement check for $1.00 from Todd McFarlane preventing you from suing him in the future. The ideas are endless, but you can see what Image decided upon for their 1,992 blind boxes... which are more of mystery polybags, but I guess that was harder to market or something.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Co-Creator Reimagines "Jane Eyre" at BOOM!
By Dustin Cabeal
Don't get me wrong, I'm curious about this graphic novel. Here's the but, BOOM! has been announcing a lot of Hollywood writers on their comics and that's disheartening. Even when I didn't love something the publisher published I always respected the fact that they were still heavy on the comic book development side of the business. The broke in new writers and artists yearly, but now... from the writer of Legally Blonde, from the co-creator of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. It's like they're patrolling the back lots of Fox looking for writers. I'm not excited by this because it's starting to look like a trend. We'll see, ECCC is just around the corner.

Dark Horse Is Doing More Of That Manga From That Franchise I Don't Understand
By Dustin Cabeal
Is it a manga? An anime? What the fuck is this property other than just pin-up art that's taken on a life of its own? I do not understand what Hatsune Miku is and I don't really care to find out. But I'm sure someone let a little pee out at this announcement, so you're welcome or something.
2000 AD Hits Its 40th Birthday
The legendary British weekly comic 2000 AD hits four decades of continuous publication – and today marks its 40th birthday!
Titan Publishing "The Death of Stalin"
By Dustin Cabeal
I'm already looking forward to the sequel, The Death of Putin... by Natural Causes of Course!
Dark Horse Announces "Berger Books" From Karen Berger
By Dustin Cabeal
Okay, I'll be the one to say it. That name sucks. I get it, it's her name and there's nothing to be done about that, but Berger Books sounds like "Burger Books" and let's be honest that's not a great title unless you're being goofy. Otherwise, I'm not excited about this until a book is announced. The reason being is that I read Surgeon X and it was one of the worst things I've read... and Karen Berger edited that book. I'm not going to judge prematurely, but I'm also not going to get hyped prematurely either.
Tekken Comic Book Creative Team Announced
By Dustin Cabeal
Ah man, I think I'm going to be stupid and pre-order this game. I mean, Akuma... come on! As for the comic, I'll read it, but I won't pretend to be excited. I've read Tekken comics before and they were shit; now I have lowered expectations.
Funko Comic Book Universe... Is Now A Thing
By Dustin Cabeal
So... toys of pop culture nerdom are now a comic book... of the same pop culture nerdom? Why would anyone do this? Rhetorical, it's money. The question is why would anyone buy it? Rhetorical again, because IDW has some of the loyalist fans with the loosest wallets... that's not a compliment by the way.
Misfit City Announced - You Had Me At "The Writer of 10 Things I Hate About You"
By Dustin Cabeal
Seriously, like most people my age I like 10 Things I Hate About You. Okay, maybe not most guys since I've yet to meet another dude that didn't just watch the movie because of a woman he was dating, but I legit like the film. I don't, however, care for a movie writer working on comic books. While this gave me tingles of nostalgia for movie reasons, it's not exciting my comic buttons just yet. I'll wait until I read it, though.
Marvel Teams Up With Archie For Marvel Comics Digest
By Dustin Cabeal
Well that's one way to increase your comic sales. I mean, the direct market is great and all, but I bet you that every publisher would like to add the newsstand market to their market. (Alterna is doing just that so congrats to them on a side note) This is interesting to say the least, obviously not for me and not for most comic readers, but maybe you can hook more little kids or movie goers for a few bucks.
Teen Titans: The Judas Contract... Trailer... Fart Sound
By Dustin Cabeal
It's got Deathstroke in it... so that's a plus. The voice acting sucks though and the story seems really generic. After the last one, I'm not in any rush to check out the WBA DC films. They had a good run... or something.
