28th September 2011 / On Sale / Shang-Chi / Wasteland
WASTELAND #31 goes on sale today (at last!). This is the final issue of the Enemy Within arc, in which all the different perspectives come together, and Golden Voice’s rebellion falters. Also, we finally learn what happened between him and Michael outside Providence. For reals! Here’s the solicit:
The explosive conclusion of the “Enemy Within” story arc! Golden Voice is captured, and bound to be executed for leading the Sunner rebellion. But who betrayed them? How did they find him? And can Skot and the others save the Singer from certain death… or are there more important truths to be told?
Schedule-wise, this is the last issue affected by the horrible delays we’ve been suffering; issue #32, an interlude issue with art from Brett Weldele, is already drawn and will be out in November. And next month we’ll make an announcement revealing our plans and schedule for 2012 and beyond (spoiler: it’s very good news).
The order code for this issue is JUL111192, and you can read a 5-page preview of the book at Comic Book Resources.
While you’re at the store, why not pick up SPIDER-ISLAND: THE DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU #2, which is also out today?
DEADLY HANDS #1 received an incredible response, and overwhelmingly good reviews, even from people who aren’t reading the rest of the Spider-Island event. As a big martial arts fan myself, it’s great to see so many others out there eager to get their hands on an all-action kung fu book. My thanks to everyone who bought and/or wrote about the first issue. So here’s the solicit for #2:
Harrowing horror and kung-fu kicking! Guest-starring Iron Fist, the Immortal Weapons, and more! The spider-powered infestation of Manhattan is in full disgusting swing… and in the midst of the outbreak, Shang-Chi discovers that even if we all survive Spider-Island, humanity itself faces the doomsday threat of an abominable monster!
The order code for this one is JUL110626, and once again you can read a preview at CBR.
3rd September 2011 / Anthologies / Pre-order
Regular readers will know I’m a regular attendee of the Thought Bubble festival, held every November in Leeds.
I’ll be there again this year, and I’ll post all the usual details closer to the time, but today I want to mention something a bit special they’ve put together — the first THOUGHT BUBBLE ANTHOLOGY, to be published in October.
Produced in support of the British children’s charity Barnardo’s and distributed through Image, the anthology features a veritable host of talent, including Andy Diggle, Mike Carey, Becky Cloonan, and even director (and comics fan) Stuart Gordon.
My own contribution is a short WASTELAND story, brilliantly illustrated by THE WALKING DEAD artist Charlie Adlard, which was very exciting for me.
You can pre-order the anthology now, from the September PREVIEWS catalogue. To read more on how it came about, check out an interview with editor (and TB organiser) Lisa Wood at Comic Book Resources.
