This is making me think of someone who is a fusion of Michael Cera and John Cena, which is horrifying to think about
I was imaging Cera's head and voice on John Cena's body, which I guess would kind of be like Cera becoming a pale Incredible Hulk in comparison to his normal size.
I finished Wonder Woman: Historia today, and I seriously hope this will be the main source material for the Paradise Lost series James Gunn announced.
The oddball manga series Superman vs. Meshi is getting an English language release later this year: And, oh yeah, guess there are a couple of Batcentric manga coming, too. https://www.comicsbeat.com/batman-i...dc-manga-coming-to-english-readers-this-year/
Time for solicits are nearing, and there are some news of what to expect. Both The Flash and Wonder Woman will relaunch with new #1 after there respective #800s. Hawkgirl will get her own title, and "Steelworks" starring John Henry and Natasha Irons will launch, to be written by ... Michael Dorn?!
Yes, the Michael Dorn. There is a connection, as he voiced John Henry Irons in a few episodes of Superman TAS, but that's about it. But I'm not aware of him having any previous writing credits, at least not in comics. So, yeah, curious to see what he brings to the table.
Doesn't look like he has any writing credits at all, though as with any actor whose played an iconic character for any length of time he was presumably at least somewhat involved in shaping Worf's character at least in the later years. Plus, anyone whose read as many scripts as he must have would have at least some knowledge of writing. That said, I suspect a staff writer will be involved as a "helper" even if he gets the main credit.
Speaking of actors writing comics, Supergirl's Nicole Maines is scripting a new YA graphic novel titled Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story. More deets here: https://www.ign.com/articles/supergirl-nicole-maines-dreamer-graphic-novel-bad-dream
June solicits are out. - Steelworks is a definite get. I mean, the curiosity about Michael Dorn alone ... - The Flash and Wonder Woman have their respective #800 anniversary issues, which go the anthology route. Flash has a Mark Waid story! I'm already subscribed to both books, so I'll obviously get them, but even if not, yeah, I'd buy those. - The by-now annual DC Pride anthology special, easy get. The companion piece "DC Pride: Through the Years" is a collection of single issues across the DCU that were major steps in LGBTQ+ representation, with one new Alan Scott story. I have most of those single issues, and I don't think a short story starring Alan Scott gets me to pay another ten bucks. - New series of one-shot Static team-ups launches with Virgil teaming up with Anansi. I remember the Anansi episode from the cartoon. I've gone over to waiting for the collected editions with the Milestone stuff, so here's hoping these oneshots will be collected, as well. - Lazarus Planet hardcover. Hm. I mean, thirty bucks for a 300+ pages hardcover is a good price. Maybe I'll get that and won't wait for the softcover to come out. - Looks like Black Adam is over with #12. Was it always announced as a limited series? Thought it was an ongoing. Oh, well.
This seems the most relevant place to mention this. Kindle versions of a lot of DC collections are on deep discount today. I could not find a main sale page on Amazon, so I am not sure if the sale is on for one day, one week, or some other period. Here are some from my list that went on sale: The Flash by Geoff Johns Book One Green Lantern: Brightest Day Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War Forever Evil Batman: The Long Halloween Batman: Dark Victory Please share if you have any more information or titles to recommend.
This used to be Comixology. You can still reach it by going to comixology.com but the format really sucks now. It is incredibly difficult to browse digital comics because you keep getting sent back to the "non-kindle" items or other kindle items that are not comics. That said, here is the link to the current "deals" page: https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/comics-store/sales/?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=sv_kstore_cmx_2
It really has gone to shit since they merged. Now my comics appear on my Kindle device (which I expressly NEVER wanted to happen--doesn't seem to be a way to stop it) AND shopping for comics is 100x more annoying (with the result that I definitely buy far fewer than I otherwise might--great job Amazon ).
I am with you 100% on all of that. The old site was obviously designed by comics lovers--it was a regular visit for me going through their back catalogue and I would drop 100 bucks sometimes on the awesome deals. I also have the same problem with my Kindle which I don't want because I have a black and white Kindle specifically to read books outside in bright sunlight. Yet my comics are always there, even though Amazon support insists this shouldn't be happening.
My kindle is the same. Oh well, the silver lining is for my wallet, I guess. A first world problem for sure (but no less irritating for it).
Reading comics on my Kindle Fire works fine, and I am used to the Amazon site's layout. Big thanks to theenglish for the link to the comic sales page. I was able to find a few more items that I liked in the Essentials (two Crisis books, 52, Batman Hush, and Green Lantern Rebirth). For those who use DC Universe Infinite, how is the organization and interface? If someone wanted to read an event (say, Blackest Night) with all of the tie-ins, is it easy to find all the pieces all in one place?
