Two years ago, Dark Horse Comics and the Oregon Office of Emergency Management put out a digital comic called Without Warning!, a project geared to helping teens prepare for earthquakes and increasing awareness of what to do in such a situation. Now there’s a sequel! Without Warning! Tsunami is by the same creative team, writers Jeremy Barlow and Althea Rizzo and artist David Hahn. Matty and her mother have been camping. They’re packing up, preparing to return home, when an […]

Look, I had nothing to do with it. I was complaining about how the Harvey Awards were easily manipulated last week, and now comes news that the Awards are leaving Baltimore, but I’m sure those things are unrelated. We don’t know how much is actually changing, beyond the location. The Harvey Awards, previously partnered with Baltimore Comic-Con, will now instead work with ReedPOP, which runs the New York Comic Con, Emerald City Comicon, C2E2, and a number of other events […]

So many announcements this month, what with the ever-growing New York Comic Con, but this one caught my eye because of how little information it had and how unexpected (but sensible) it was. Dynamite Entertainment, home of comics starring James Bond, Betty Boop, Xena, Tarzan, and characters from Battlestar Galactica, Bob’s Burgers, and Grimm, among many other properties, has announced a bunch of new licensed titles coming next year.

Return of the Dapper Men was an attractive, fairy-tale-like graphic novel by Jim McCann and Janet Lee published in late 2010 by Archaia (before they were acquired by Boom!).

Top Shelf (who is now part of IDW) has just announced that they will be republishing the book next year. Here’s the book description: Welcome to Anorev, a land […]

Got the following press release recently. Kingstone Comics, the nation’s largest publisher of Christian comics, is releasing the most complete graphic novel adaptation of the Bible ever published. The Kingstone Bible bring[s] together leading Christian writers with illustrators with credits from Marvel and DC Comics. With over 2,000 pages and 10,000 art panels, The Kingstone Bible is one of the largest graphic novels ever published. I was kind of curious to see what a one-volume, two-thousand-page graphic novel would look […]

Dark Horse has announced that they will continue their line of Neil Gaiman comic adaptations (after success with How to Talk to Girls at Parties, the recent Troll Bridge, and others) with a higher-profile title: American Gods. The novel, first published in 2001, is being adapted into a TV series for Starz, debuting next spring. The comics will launch about the same time, with the first appearing March 15, 2017. The story will become 27 issues, grouped into three story […]
