Each launch issue of the King event features an interlocking cover by acclaimed artist Darwyn Cooke[...]

The latest issue of Flash Gordon has a very cool looking cover by artist Marc Laming and we have both the black & white inked version, colored version and then the finished colored cover including logos, etc The colors were done by Elmer Santos I'm curious how Laming did the stars here… in the past[...]

A – Gold Key: Magnus Magnus discovers an Arctic research station that pre-dates the Age of the Singularity! What horrendous secrets will he discover, what will it mean for human and[...]

With the release of today's third issue of the Flash Gordon series by Jeff Parker and Evan Shaner, Dynamite has given us the complete second issue to share with readers. The character of Flash Gordon originally debuted in newspaper strips January 7th, 1934… over 80 years ago The series was created by Alex Raymond specifically to[...]

But that's all far too old fashioned, and a foot to a dinosaur face will do the trick instead. Flash Gordon always ends up in some kind of gladiatorial combat, but not always with oversized furries The new version is a little more world weary… or universe weary… about it all though. Solar #3 also goes for the[...]

We have the conclusion of Mark Waid's run on the Green Hornet, the second issue of the new Dejah Of Mars series and the third issue of Flash Gordon. MARK WAID'S THE GREEN HORNET #13 Mark Waid (w) Ronilson Freire (a) Paolo Rivera (c) FC • 32 pages • $3.99 • Teen+ FINAL ISSUE!!! The grand finale–and the ultimate victor stands[...]

Through his work on Ghostbusters for IDW, Deadpool Annual for Marvel, Adventures of Superman for DC and now Flash Gordon for Dynamite, Evan "Doc" Shaner is quickly building a name for himself in the comic book industry Shaner has a classic art style that works in almost any genre and I'd expect to see big[...]

Just in case you ever thought of becoming one. Battlestar Galactica #11 gives us, well, what sounds like a euphemistic sexual cry… And Pathfinder City of Secrets #1 delivers us the possible results. Flash Gordon #2 caricatures the critic, handily before any of the reviews are in Just in case. Shadow Year One #9 has a very very nice sound[...]

Some books that haven't even been announced yet… I don't want to steal their thunder though. So how about a peek at the second issue of the Joshua Hale Fialkov series The Devilers, a very cool Flash Gordon cover for issue five, a Solar: Man Of The Atom cover and a Tim Seeley piece from his[...]

Dynamite are looking to up orders on Flash Gordon #2 And this is one way to do it. Retailers who increase their initial orders by 20% can then order additional copies on top of that, of the Flash Gordon #2 Rare Black and White Covers. Probably look something like the one on the right. Though how rare they will[...]

Thank you for a lesson in reality, X. Magnus Robot Fighter #2 shows a lack of tolerance for robobonics. Flash Gordon #1 When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight. The Maxx #6…yeah I always used to "glue" my hands together after reading certain magazine when I was a teenager as well Never got interrupted by a[...]

We've got some sneak peeks from the folks at Dynamite as they launch their new Flash Gordon series with Jeff Parker and Evan Shaner and continue the Magnus: Robot Fighter reboot with Fred Van Lente and Cory Smith.

A few weeks ago, Bleeding Cool ran a story about the preview of Mark Millar and Gorlan Parlov's upcoming Image comic, Starlight. And how between the first preview and the second preview it had been de-Flash Gordoned. About how, in its first announcement it was described as Flash Gordon-meets-Dark Knight But by the second preview, suddenly the[...]

That of Flash Gordon Which is odd, because initially he couldn't stop himself from using it. The comic, drawn by Goran Parlov and due to be published by Image in March, is described by Millar as Flash Gordon meets The Dark Knight Returns. So why no mention this time around? It's not just the sales pitch that has changed[...]

This April, just in time for the characters 80th anniversary, Dynamite Entertainment is launching a new Flash Gordon series by Batman '66 writer Jeff Parker, Deadpool artist Evan "Doc" Shaner and Pretty Deadly colorist Jordie Bellaire. The series follows Parker's Kings Watch miniseries and includes Dale Arden, Dr Hans Zarkov and Ming the Merciless and takes[...]

We're hearing rumors of an announcement next week having to do with the 80th anniversary of Flash Gordon and Dynamite Entertainment Well, that and we happen to come across the image below. Anybody else hearing the theme form the 80's Sam Jones movie right now? We're hearing rumors of an announcement next week having to do[...]

Chris Roberson sat down with Parker to discuss the King's Watch series and his heroes Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician and The Phantom.  CHRIS ROBERSON: I'm curious to know your first introduction to these characters I didn't really get exposed to the Phantom and Mandrake until later in life, since the newspaper my folks subscribed to[...]

How far will she go to "protect" her family in the aftermath of Tuesday's events? (Seriously, there's got to be a limit… right?) And how far will Detective Pruitt go to get justice for Jen's ever-increasing list of crimes? The new arc begins with a bang!

He doesn't just do the covers you know. Alex Ross is instrinically involved with every issue of Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist and Ming The Merciless from Dynamite As such, here are some descigns for both those series from his pen – and brush.     He doesn't just do the[...]

You've already been told a zillion times how Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom cycle was the progenitor of Star Wars, Avatar and Dune. You may even have developed the idea that the writers of Stargate owe Burroughs a substantial debt. You have probably heard the film adaptation described as Superman in reverse or Tarzan in space. What you may not have heard yet[...]

Ming's great ability is to define weakness around him, the chinks in all the armors, and he uses that knowledge to advance himself. BC: The FLASH GORDON universe has so many fascinating races: Sharkmen, Lion Men, Tree People, Hawkmen, etc Is there any in particular that you find most fun to write? What do you like[...]

There are companies doing things other than DC Comics, apparently. In April, Dynamite will be publishing Merciless – The Rise Of Ming #1, the first issue of a new series that's a prequel to the current Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist comic, looking at Ming's coming of age and struggle to gain power, from a simple Prince to[...]

Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist #5 Also known as Flash Gordon Vs Adolf Hitler Or rather Mongo rebels vs the Third Reich By Eric Trautmann and Daniel Indro with covers by Alex Ross, Paul Renaud and Francesco Francavilla, I won't be happy until Flash is punching Hitler in the face like Captain America. Or headbutting him like Kelly[...]

I couldn't even play Zelda, so you know it's serious. One thing I did promise to Nick Barrucci of Dynamite, was that if I was going to run that story about Ardden saying that retailers could send in copies of Dynamite's Flash Gordon to exchange them for Ardden's Flash Gordon book, that I actually run a[...]

Here's two free comics of the Flash Gordon comic that Dynamite isn't publishing But Ardden Entertainment is That's what happens when you license the same character twice Issue 0 and issue 1. But what doesn't always happn is one of the companies (Ardden) offering retailers a copy of the 80 page trade paperback of Flash Gordon:[...]

Last Friday, Bleeding Cool gave you the news that Dynamite were to publish Flash Gordon comic books Well today they made it all official with art, press releases and all that for Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist And an Alex Ross cover that has both Ming… and Hitler. See, I'd be tempted to buy it just for that[...]
