We end the show this week with the main theme from “Dracula” (1979) by John Williams.
In this issue, prepare for Oz Comic-con! Plus, a legend leaves Green Lantern, and Marvel sends us to Infinity and beyond…for free! DC cancels more, and more Arkham Asylum on the way. THEN Guardians of the Galaxy casting, and a whole mess of TV news from The Walking Dead, Arrow and S.H.I.E.L.D. PLUS our kick-ass pick of the week, The Underwater Welder by Jeff Lemire.
This week Richard and David had the opportunity to have a chat with comic book creator Jeff Lemire, author of Essex County and Sweet Tooth. During the interview Jeff discussed his plans for the new run of Green Arrow as well as his magnificent new graphic novel The Underwater Welder.
In this issue, Bendis teases Spider-men 2 and Scully and Mulder get empanelled. ALSO Sin City gets its dame to kill for, Ridley Scott minds the MGMT, and the Inhumans and Superman both get animated. PLUS our kick-ass pick of the week: The Pro by Gath Ennis, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti.
In this huge, special week: DC gets dirty with their “Holy Shit” month, more Marvel NOW, Doctor Strange and Ant-Man form part of Marvel’s Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Y: The Last Man gets a director, Joss Whedon has almost finished writing The Avengers 2 and just when you thought we couldn’t pack any more in, we have X-Men: Days of Future Past, Guardians of the Galaxy and Arrow news – PLUS our kicks-ass pick of the week, Punk Rock Jesus by Sean Murphy (DC/Vertigo).
It’s the first issue for the new year, so we’re pretty much doing what we did last year. Which means we look at Marvel’s Cosmic 2013, helping Peter David recover and a geeky proposal. THEN we look all the Guardians of the Galaxy casting rumours. PLUS our kicks-ass pick of the week, Ant-Man: Season One by Tom DeFalco and Horacio Domingues.
