Every week your Local Comic Book Shop, hopefully, gets in a weekly assortment of comics, trades, posters, action figures, and other goodies from Diamond. Now some of these goodies sell out fast from your LCBS, so Tuesday and Wednesday LCBS retailers get on the phone (more often the computer) and let Diamond know they need more. Or […]
In the early 1990s a bunch of big-name comic creators, inspired by the Image Comics success, published their own creator-owned works under the Legend imprint through Dark Horse Comics. And some of the comics, such as Hellboy and Sin City actually became legends. And as part of the promotional aspects, they each created artwork to […]
Dark Horse has a collection of new solicitation and rescheduled previous listings, giving us both the new Umbrella Academy spin-off series You Look Like Death, a new Stranger Things series, Cyberpunk 2077 gets its adaptation and Spy Island returns to the schedule. Go take a look at Dark Horse Comics' September 2020 solicitations in full. […]
Cyberpunk 2077 is an upcoming role-playing video game starring Keanu Reeves, developed and published by CD Projekt. It is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 19 November 2020, and PlayStation 5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X by the end of the year. Adapted from the original Cyberpunk gaming […]
The Bill & Ted comics by Evan Dorkin – originally published by Marvel Comics, then Slave Labor and then Boom Studios – are one of those rarest of beasts, an adaptation that is as good as the original. Merging the anarchy of Milk and Cheese with the pop-cultural deep dives of Pirate Corps, it took what was genuinely a better-than-it-ought-to-be series of Bill […]
Daring comic book publisher Dark Horse has deemed it desirable to dole out Dude Sweaters as part of the promotion for Daddy Daughter Day, Dark Horse disclosed in a press release dispatched to media outlets Thursday. Daddy Daughter Day is a soon-to-be disseminated dissertation by Jeff Bridges and his daughter, Isabelle Bridges-Boesch, debuting at comic […]
Dark Horse Comics has some exciting news for anybody with forty bucks to blow on a comic book during a global pandemic and economic crisis. The Library Edition of Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins is set for a release in comic shops on November 11th and bookstores on November 24th, making it probably the most […]
Looks like 2020 will continue to bring us a few delights, interspersed with everything going to hell in a hand cart. And one of those is an IDW licensed comic book that crosses over with a Dark Horse licensed comic book to bring us a Stranger Things And Dungeons & Dragons comic book. This is not […]
Dark Horse Comics has a thirty-year history in comics and manga, and along with that comes a great back catalog of fantastic comics. Here are my favorites of their bibliography. It was really hard narrowing down their canon, and you'll note that some favorites like The Umbrella Academy (surely one of Dark Horse's breakout series) […]
The cast of popular animated series The Legend of Korra is returning for another live reading from the Dark Horse comic book that continues the show. After reading the first part of Legend of Korra: Turf Wars, which picks up right after the series finale, back in April, Janet Varney and Seychelle Gabriel, who voiced […]
The May/June edition of Diamond Comic Distributors' monthly Previews catalogue arrives in comic shops and digitally on Wednesday, May 27th after a brief hiatus and features comic books, graphic novels, toys, and other pop culture merchandise scheduled to go on sale from the beginning of August 2020. It begins, oddly, with X Of Swords. The […]
Dark Horse Comics has issued their solicitations for August 2020 – though forgive them if you recognise most of everything in here. It's more of a shuffling round of what had been planned from May, July and July and hadn't been scheduled yet. And it begins with the previously promised all new Alien with an […]
Following the popular webisode series Alter Nation, Dark Horse Comics is continuing the series in the new graphic novel — Alter Nation: They Hide Hybrids! This graphic novel picks up right where the webseries left off, taking fans further into this imaginative world. If you haven't seen the series yet, you could still jump on […]
The comic book industry is beginning to edge towards and attempt at returning to some vestige of normality. These are the planned titles that Dark Horse Comics have for May, June and July 2020, unearthed by Bleeding Cool. We'll be trying to run as many other publishers' plans today, and during the week. There will […]
I haven't done an Amazon Glitchwatch in ages. Have you missed it? I bet you have. A semi-regular feature, it would highlight what appeared to be accidental deals, especially on Amazon, where people could pick up absolute deals until the publisher realised that something was wrong, And so it is with Dark Horse Comics, Amazon […]
All major comic book publishers have pulled digital comics versions of new titles out this week, as they are still unable to publish them in print. There are exceptions for Archie's general market titles, collections already sold into the book market, and original graphic novels such as DC's Alt-Hero out today. Smaller publishers are less […]
Diamond Comic Distributors' note last week about not paying publishers caused a lot of concern in the comic book industry. It was the reason given to me more than any other, that some publishers asked their creators to cease working on certain comic books right now. Diamond already announced they had shuttered their doors, to […]
Diamond Comic Distributors closed its doors to new product two weeks ago. This led to the biggest print comics publishers restricting their digital output as well. This was an attempt to support physical comic book stores, unable to receive print comics from Diamond. The suggestion is that continued digital publication right would cannibalise future print […]
Legend of Korra voice actors Janet Varney and Seychelle Gabrielle, who voiced the titular Korra and her romantic partner Asami respectively on the show, will reprise their roles on Monday in a special comic book live reading event presented by Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse, which publishes comics based on Avatar: The Last Airbender and […]
Dark Horse Comics may not be releasing any digital comics this week, but the publisher doesn't want to leave you with nothing Dark Horse to read. To solve this problem, Dark Horse is following in the footsteps of Dynamite Entertainment and making a bunch of #1 issues free tor read digitally on their web store, […]
