Yesterday, we ran some rumours about upcoming DC Comics titles. Some were well sourced, others... less so. But the original rundown from Tako seemed

This does appear to be an article stub from DC Comics, indicating an Aquaman And The Others series from DC for 2014. That and other potential April delights have been running around the messageboards for the last couple of days. Such as this run down from our good friend Tako. Aquaman and the Others #1 Forever Evil Aftermath: Batman[...]

DC Comics characters may not be allowed to get married anymore, and Spider-Man had his taken away, but clearly there's some kind of Marvel wedding fever

Big, heavy collections of big heavy comic books, aimed at the Christmas market. But, instead, it looks like Marvel prefer April Easter presents perhaps? Here's a few volumes scheduled for that month next year. The Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Volume 2 (912 pages), Spider-Man by Roger Stern Omnibus (1249 pages), Punisher Max by Jason Aaron Omnibus (544 pages)[...]

Two multidimensional comics are meeting their end in April, as part of the X-Termination crossover, David Lapham and Roberto De La Torre's Age Of Apocalypse with issue 14 and Greg Pak and Andre Aeujo's X-Treme X-Men with issue 13. Here are their final covers (and the cover to Astonishing X-Men that make up the trptych). Sorry folks[...]

And what do I find waiting for me, and me alone? The covers to the new Regular Show #1 comic from Boom! for April. Which is probably going to go rather Adventure Timey very soon indeed. So I thought I'd share them with you Don't they look pretty? And look, there's some solicitation text as well… REGULAR SHOW…IT'S[...]

Clearly DC Comics disagreed. Issue 14 of the intelligent political alien conspiracy that drew parallels with alien conspiracy and US immigration strategy with greater success than anything I've ever seen, will be its last, shipping in April. Also joining Saucer Country, DC Universe Presents and I Vampire, will be Superman Family Adventures, the kids title by Alt[...]

Thanks to Gotham Spoilers who have done some fine URL farming, here are a number of covers for DC Comics in April. Except each looks like the first half of an image. Could they be the first half of gatefold covers for all of April's DC New 52 comics? And could these be the "Holy Shit" covers[...]

Potato Comics is publishing Xeric winning small press title Freedom by Seamus Heffernan in April, now distributed by Diamond Comic Distribution. Set during the American Revolution, it's a rather impertinent look at a history that some Americans hold sacrosanct. For a start, it stars a teenager living in a Massachusetts that lost the American Revolution, and remains under British[...]

Again, much thanks to Midtown's database for this one. You've already seen Marvel's April 2012 solicitations – albeit with the credits of March Well, now here are all the covers… in thumbnail form. Note the braille vertical logo for Daredevil, breakfast-watching Spider-Man, Ultimate Storm's bottom, Captain America repelling an unseen Cyclops' optic blast, some X-Men pop art,[...]

Courtesy of Midtown Comics, here are the Marvel solicitations for April 2012 Ish For monthly comics at least. There seem to be a few glitches that need ironing out concerning credits, which seem to preserve March's details, but the solicitation listings do give a few interesting revelations… such as Jason Aaron leaving Wolverine with #304 and[...]

This is a list of Marvel titles shipping to comic stores in the month of April Of note, there is no listing for Generation Hope It is presumed cancelled with March's issue 17 which stated it would feature "Kenji Vs Hope For The Final Fate Of The Lights!" Who knew Marvel would be so literal?  Still,[...]

And now for a look at some Dynamite comics coming out in April Bionic Goat and Navy Of Darkness will be along any day now. Actually I quite like the sound of both of them. UPDATE: Aside from Bionic Woman, there are no other Bionic titles planned by Dynamite Or, indeed, any Navy Of Darkness[...]

Comics as weapons, I approve. So I asked around, and was told that though these comics may be ending in March, Marvel will most definitely be publishing All Ages superhero books in April, and beyond. I don't know who, how, which or what, but I do know that it's Marvel's plan to keep that category going for[...]

Here's the headlines, based on DC Comics solicitation information for new monthly comics for April (minus the reprint, licensed, creator-owned and Vertigo titles).Thanks to some bargain books such as Action Comics #900, and the lack of $3.99 22 page books, DC comics are now 13.9 cents a page, 0ver half a cent per[...]

Go on then Little Bleeders, what is this? Thank you Little Bleeders! Mega Man it is! The Capcom character to get an Archie comic spinoff!

We've been speculating that the Marvel Fear teasers are tied up in the appearances of Martian-like Tripod machines over the Marvel Universe the past year, for an upcoming Marvel Event in April next year And that it's Iron Man based, with contributions from the likes of Matt Fraction, Brian Bendis, Christos Gage and more. Well, at[...]

Surreal is a word too easily used when describing this creatures world, The Unifactor, that keeps him in a perpetual status quo That all changes with the new book, scheduled for April 2011, as Frank leaves The Unifactor for the first time for new worlds He loses his job, has to take a factory job and[...]
