UNITY is a new monthly series by Matt Kindt, Doug Braithwaite and Brian Reber starting Wednesday.

 

Harbinger lead villain Toyo Harada unites the most lethal team the Valiant Universe has ever known to kill X-O Manowar!

 

Livewire, Ninjak and the Eternal Warrior join Harada’s mission. As you can see by this roster UNITY will not be a “feel-good” buddy team. Continue reading The UNITY Team

An All-New X-FORCE blasts into the All-New Marvel Now in 2014. Uncanny X-Force and Cable and X-Force will come to an end after the Vendetta crossover.

 

Si Spurrier (X-Men Legacy) breaks down on the new roster and here’s the revamped look for each member by Rock-He Kim courtesy Marvel.com:

 

“Cable. As in, the extraordinarily deadly grizzled old war dog and fancier of enormoguns. Slightly grimmer than the proverbial reaper.

 

Psylocke. Everyone’s favorite British aristocratic psi-warrior transplanted into the body of a nin-ja. Trying her best to quit killing. Not doing very well. Continue reading New X-FORCE Roster and Surprise Member

DOMINO & DAREDEVIL Flashback Friday

This week’s big news of a Daredevil series from Netflix and the first issue of Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe made me think of…Domino?

 

Hang in with me. Domino has luck power like Longshot. A new X-Force was announced without Neena on the team. All this made me think of when the luckiest mutant teamed up with the Man Without Fear.

 

In the category of “….and now for something completely different…” Continue reading DOMINO & DAREDEVIL Flashback Friday

Pretty Deadly is a strange, beautiful supernatural western revenge saga in the making by writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (see how she describes it here) and artist Emma Rios. The creator-owned comic was a smash and now Ginny’s story continues.

 

Image Comics shared a preview of issue two as Death’s Daughter continues her ride for vengeance. It’s a dark fairy tale with the trappings of a classic Western but this gorgeous genre busting refuses to be categorized. Continue reading PRETTY DEADLY #2 Preview

Here’s a preview of Archer & Armstrong #15 courtesy Valiant. Get ready for the next time-walking, history-smashing chapter of “Sect Civil War” by Fred Van Lente and Khari Evans.

 

“WARNING: This is no longer a (FINGER QUOTES) “fun” comic. Now that the Sect Civil War has begun, it is now a (FINGER QUOTES) “grim” and (FINGER QUOTES) “gritty” work of (REAL QUOTES) “sequential literature” with blood and headshots and naughty words (like “H-E-DOUBLE-HOCKEY-STICKS”) and if you squint real hard at the backgrounds, Continue reading ARCHER & ARMSTRONG #15 Preview
