The writers of The Walking Dead and Morning Glories team up for a brand new series debuting today from Image Comics. Robert Kirkman and Nick Spencer tell the story of a master thief yearning for what he can’t steal. He wants his son and ex-wife but can the criminal reconnect before the FBI catches him.
Shawn Martinbrough is the artist. Thief of Thieves #1 is on stores today.
Secret Avengers #22
Hawkeye takes command and recruits Captain Britain for his covert team. He’s going to need the extra muscle as the Avengers’ version of the Sentinels strike. Rick Remender revolutionized Uncanny X-Force so get ready for a wild ride with the bad boys and girls of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Batgirl #6
Batgirl and Batman meet for the first time since her recovery. The deadly man manipulating Gretel makes her move. Barbara deals with the emotional wallop by a return from someone in her past.
Thief of Thieves #1
When the writers of The Walking Dead and Morning Glories unite for a book it’s a huge reason to rush to the comic store. Robert Kirkman and Nick Spencer tells the story of the ultimate thief who can steal anything except the life he lost. A master criminal tries to connect with the son and wife he lost while evading the FBI and an even bigger threat.
Kevin Keller #1
Archie Comics didn’t just give the Riverdale Gang a gay sidekick – they made Kevin Keller openly gay young man who wants to serving in the military. This week the groundbreaking character gets his own series and hardcover graphic novel featuring the GLAAD Media Award outstanding comic story about Kevin’s first meeting with Archie and life before Riverdale.
Wolverine and the X-Men #5
Kitty Pryde is pregnant. A billion alien Brood show up and I don’t think it’s for a baby shower! Is this the child that could bring Kitty and Colossus back together or has an alien enemy delivered a curse on my favorite X-woman?
Batman Incorporated is back with a global franchise ready to face a looming threat to Earth. Today DC Comics The Source revealed Chris Burnham’s cover to the debut issue. Grant Morrison brings a new take to this new DC Comics New 52 Second Wave title.
The first gathering was a such a success it’s now called “Discussions from the Long Table” at Zanadu Comics in Seattle. Bring topics and comic picks you’d like to share. The group will discuss Prophet #21 (I need a little therapy myself after that trippy read) as our book of the month but you don’t need to have read it.
New faces are welcome. I had a blast last time bonding with a diversity of fellow comic fans and discovered new titles I’m glad I picked up.
Summer 2013 just got a little wilder and hairier! Fox announced July 23, 2013 as the release date for The Wolverine according to The Hollywood Reporter Heat Vision. This will be Logan’s second solo movie starring Hugh Jackman and directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line).
This story is set in Japan and is said to based on the first Wolverine miniseries by the legendary team of Chris Claremont and Frank Miller.
This story introduced two of Logan’s most iconic leading ladies: Lady Mariko, daughter of a crime lord and Yukio, wild Ronin. Wolverine is caught between the ninjas of the Hand, Clan Yoshida and their mutant enforcer, Silver Samurai!
Wolverine #300 just kicked off with Logan back in Japan. This is Jason Aaron’s final arc on Logan’s solo series and features a brand new Silver Samurai.
“And you will KNOW my name is Nick Fury when I lay my vengeance on thee!”
It’s a good bit and I stand by it – back to the story – one of my friends and followers emailed this IMDB link followed by “WHATTTTTTT!”
Marvel has a full slate of movies post Avengers including Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 plus two untitled films – Captain America 2 is likely but is Nick Fury getting his own flick?
The synopsis goes like this:
“A daring amateur boxer from Hells Kitchen is recruited by the Army for some top-secret assignments. He soon is promoted to captain, where he puts together the First Attack Squad, a group of elite soldiers who carry out elite missions.”
Samuel L. Jackson, Neal McDonough(Dum Dum Dugan) and Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson) are listed as rumored.
How cool would a young Nick Fury and the formation of SHIELD movie be? Who could play a young Nick? And could you have feature one of his World War II missions with a Canadian paratrooper – last name Howlett (soon to be named WOLVERINE!)
I’m a big fan of the new Teens Titans series. The young heroes are trying to expose the mysterious organization hunting metahuman teens and just got whipped by Superboy. The Titans are about to receive the super size treatment courtesy of Teen Titans Annual #1 – the first giant size annual from DC Comics- The New 52.
The big story launches in May with Teen Titans and soars through Superboy and Legion Lost. Scott Lobdell and Tom DeFalco are the minds behind pitting the heroes against each other with art by Titans illustrator Brett Booth.
“You know how comics used to have cover copy that read ‘This issue has it all!’… then you’d read the issue and, well, it had some but not all? Well this Annual really does have it all!” Lobdell tells The Source. “We finally get to see the oft-mentioned Colony – where the N.O.W.H.E.R.E. leader named Harvest has been keeping the hundred or so teenagers (did I say hundred?!) for who-knows-how-long. We get to see the Teen Titans in pitched battle against the Legion Lost (You can understand why Red Robin is skeptical about a team of teenagers claiming to come from the 30th Century, and why Tyroc is scratching his head over the existence of a team that – according to the history progs – is still some eight years away from being formed!). Then there’s the introduction of half the roster of the new RAVAGERS series! It has been eight issues since Red Robin threw down the gauntlet to Harvest, and now we’re going to see if the Teen Titans have what it takes to shut down N.O.W.H.E.R.E. once and for all! Yes, there’s a reason why this story could only take place in an annual – because there is just too much story to be contained in one of the monthly books!”
This Brett Booth cover looks cool – Bunker v. is that Timber Wolf?
The crossover begins with TEEN TITANS ANNUAL #1 then weaves through SUPERBOY #9, LEGION LOST #9, TEEN TITANS #9 and THE RAVAGERS #1.

Batman’s world is filled with dangerous, resourceful women including Catwoman, Batwoman, Batgirl, Talia Al Ghul but one avenging angel I love is getting front burner status.
The Huntress is currently starring in her own mini-series seeking justice and stalking a mobster in Italy. Helena is the daughter of a murdered mob boss who vows revenge.
DC Comics The Source shares stunning new images from Huntress #5 in which Helena will assault an ancient monastery guarded by the Italian military.” This is the penultimate issue of her adventure but a new Huntress’ story is just beginning.
The Huntress and Power Girl of Earth 2 will star in a new World’s Finest – part of DC Comics The New 52 Second Wave. On Earth 2 Helena is Batman and Catwoman’s daughter. Paul Levitz, George Perez and Kevin Maguire will chronicle the duo’s mission to return home.
The Huntress has one of my favorite costumes in comics and with a compelling back story making her a great anti-heroine.
