Cape Books: Thoughts on the Nature of Genre

2012-01-19T05:28:00.000-08:00

Originally posted on Guys' Lit Wire.

I read a lot of comic books. With some exceptions (Hellboy, Northlanders), most are superhero titles from the two major comics companies: Marvel and DC.

The superhero mold was stamped in 1938, with the first appearance of Superman. There have been highs and lows in popularity, but superheroes have largely dominated comics ever since. (As well as American culture in general. Superman alone has been featured in almost every medium popular in the last 75 years, from serial radio to over a dozen video games.) Despite this, or more likely because of it, people sometimes dismiss superhero titles as "cape books," or more commonly, "another f*cking cape book."

As comics struggle to find their footing in the new millennium, a lot of the blame for shrinking sales falls on the superhero books. Detractors see all superhero books as the same, churned out for fanboys already invested in the characters. The thinking goes that industry will never find new readers unless it expands into new genres. I'm all for trying new things, and again, I do read non-superhero comics (American Vampire, the recently completed Samurai's Blood), but I also believe that the reason the superhero genre has thrived for so long is because it's an incredibly flexible genre, able to be bent and stretched to suit almost any taste.

Not all genres are created the same. Some, like horror, focus on a single emotion. Others, like romance or mysteries, are hemmed in by conventions and audience expectations. But the superhero genre seems to contains an ever-expanding number of sub-genres. Just looking at stuff coming out currently, there's high adventure (Superman, The Amazing Spider-Man) and gritty crime stories (The Dark Knight, Punisher.) You've also got interpersonal drama (Fantastic Four, Birds of Prey) and epic story-telling (nearly every X-Man storyline since Days of Future Past). Then there's space opera (Green Lantern), teen angst (Ultimate Spiderman, Blue Beetle), comedy (Deadpool), and detective stories (Detective Comics, anything Ed Brubaker is writing). And around the edges, the superhero genre starts to crinkle up and examine its own assumptions (The Boys, Kick Ass 2, anything Warren Ellis is writing.)

This doesn't mean I love all "cape books" or agree with every decision the two major publishers have made in the past. I've written before about my disappointment in some of DC's most recent titles.* but I don't think the problem is that all superhero books are the same. Rather, I'm continuously amazed at how the superhero genre's ability to continuously evolve and reinvent itself over the past 75 years. And I think it will continue to grow--in one form or another--simply because it will never run out of stories worth telling.

*I still maintain that, if comics are going to survive, they've got to make a sustained effort to bring female readers back into the fold. However, my anger has subsided some since I wrote those two posts, mainly because DC is putting out some fantastic titles featuring women (Wonder Woman, Batwoman, and hopefully the upcoming World's Finest.)

Six DCnU titles caneled, six new titles coming in May

From Comics Alliance:

Blackhawks, Hawk and Dove, Men of War, Mister Terrific, O.M.A.C. and Static Shock are the first cancelations of the New 52, DC Comics' aggressive initiative to reinvigorate its publishing line with an aesthetic overhaul that saw the company launch or relaunch all superhero titles from issue #1. Notably, all six of the cancelled series were newly created for the New 52, as opposed to relaunches, and will conclude with April's issues #8.

Also confirmed on Thursday was what DC is calling the Second Wave of the New 52: six new titles beginning in May including World's Finest by Paul Levitz and George Perez and Kevin Maguire; Dial H by China Miéville and Mateus Santoluoco; G.I. Combat by J.T. Krul and Ariel Olivetti; The Ravagers, a Superboy and Teen Titans spinoff by Howard Mackie and Ian Churchill; Earth 2 by James Robinson and Nicola Scott; and the return of Batman Incorporated by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham.

Pathfinder leads to New Comic Book Series in 2012!

2012-01-05T12:09:00.000-08:00

Paizo Publishing has licensed its award-winning Pathfinder Roleplaying Game to Dynamite Entertainment, who will publish comics based on Pathfinder's exciting fantasy world in 2012! Launched in 2009, Pathfinder has taken the tabletop gaming world by storm, and is now tied with Dungeons & Dragons as the best-selling hobby roleplaying game in the world, spawning rulebooks, adventures, collectible figurines, and novels, as well as the forthcoming Pathfinder Online massively multiplayer computer game.

"We are thrilled to be working with Dynamite on a new Pathfinder comic!" said Paizo Publisher Erik Mona. "Dynamite's proven record with licensed properties and their ability to attract top creative talent to their books make them a natural fit for Pathfinder, and we can't wait to see how they explore the Pathfinder world!"

"When we sat down and first started speaking with Paizo, the excitement that Erik had for Pathfinder was amazing, and the success he and his team have had is well earned." states Dynamite Publisher Nick Barrucci. "We're proud to be working with them to help bring Pathfinder to the comics market, and to bring our comics to their market. It's the best of both worlds. This is the start of a great working relationship."

Here's What People are Saying About Pathfinder:

"Pathfinder is a game surging in popularity amongst a hobby gaming field that is already enjoying steady growth." - Mtv Geek

"The excellent Pathfinder role-playing game should be up every old-school tabletop enthusiast's alley." - GameInformer Magazine

RIP, Joe Simon...

2011-12-18T17:23:00.000-08:00

From CNN:

Joe Simon, the co-creator of star-spangled comic book hero Captain America, has died at 98, his family announced.

Simon, a writer, editor and artist, passed away late Wednesday in New York after a short illness.

Simon and artist Jack Kirby, who ran a studio, developed the character in the early 1940s and worked outside the box to develop a distinct design.

"Together, the team created Captain America as well as long list of characters, including The Newsboy Legion and The Boy Commandos," a statement Thursday from Simon's family said.

A Marvel Comics website provides a summary of Captain America and his superhero quest.

"In World War II, patriotic soldier Steve Rogers, recipient of the 'Super Soldier Serum,' became the living symbol of freedom, Captain America. Left for dead while frozen in ice, the star-spangled hero with an indestructible shield awoke years later to continue his never-ending battle for liberty."

The movie "Captain America: The First Avenger" was released this year. Chris Evans, in the title role, went up against villain Red Skull, played by Hugo Weaving.

Kirby and Simon created Captain America for Timely Comics, Marvel's predecessor. The comic was a huge hit during World War II.

With Captain America came some of Kirby's comic book innovations, Mark Evanier, author of the book "Kirby: King of Comics," told CNN in 2008.

Comic books, which had started as reprints of newspaper comic strips, had adhered to that form's look of repetitious boxes. Kirby and Simon used different-sized panels, varying shapes, even full pages.

"They kind of invented things that made comic books different than strips," Evanier said. They realized they "had the whole page to play with. ... They'd take three or four pages for a single action scene."

The popular genres after the war were crime and horror comics, and Simon and Kirby created a handful, including the dramatically named "Justice Traps the Guilty." They also pioneered the romance genre, juxtaposing Kirby's innately thrilling style with primly dressed women and men in neat suits and sweaters.

Simon served a few stints at DC Comics.

"Joe Simon was a true legend in the comic book industry. So much of what we are today is owed to him and his amazing creativity," said Dan DiDio, co-publisher of DC Entertainment. "In addition to one of the great writers of the Golden Age, he was also an editor at DC Comics. We appreciate all of his contributions to DC Comics and the industry as a whole, both on the page and behind the scenes."

The writer's passing came a week after the death of cartoonist Jerry Robinson, who worked on the earliest Batman comics and claimed credit for creating the super-villain The Joker. Robinson was 89.

Simon is survived by two sons, three daughters and eight grandchildren.

Operation Gratitude

2011-12-08T12:29:00.000-08:00

Toward the end of every year, I sort through my comics, deciding which ones I'm likely to ever re-read. The others--rather than letting them take up space and gather dust--I try to give away to friends, family, or anybody who will read them and enjoy them.

This ear, I'm going to do something different, though. Mark Sable (Graveyard of Empires) has suggested a great charity that will ship comics (and other items) to troops overseas: Operation Gratitude.

Here's what they do:

“Operation Gratitude annually sends 100,000 care packages filled with snacks, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed in hostile regions, to their children left behind and to Wounded Warriors recuperating in Transition Units. Our mission is to lift morale, bring a smile to a service member’s face and express to our Armed Forces the appreciation and support of the American people. Each package contains donated product valued at ~$125 and costs the organization $15 to assemble and ship. For safety and security, assembling of packages occurs at the Army National Guard armory in Van Nuys, California. Since its inception in 2003, Operation Gratitude volunteers have shipped more than 660,000 packages to American Military deployed overseas.”

If you'd like to donate comics or other times, you can learn more on their website. For more ways you can help out, click here.

The Future is Here: Marvel Point One

2011-11-13T13:00:00.000-08:00

Now that Fear Itself is wrapping up, Marvel is launching more stories with Marvel Point One. This one-shot reveals glimpses of Marvel's major story lines for the coming year, including the return of the Phoenix Force, the rise of Ultron, and new books featuring Scarlet Spider and the Defenders.

According to Marvel's executive editor Tom Brevoort, "Point One is a massive one-shot of 64 all-new pages of story by the top creators in the business, setting the stage for the biggest stories coming in 2012. It is the starting point to what’s in store for the world’s most iconic characters and startling events. Point One serves as the launch pad for dynamic new series, the return of fan-demanded characters, and a shocking teaser that will have everyone talking. See how all it comes together in one gigantic epic!”

So if you love the Marvel Universe, or if you're new to Marvel and looking for a good "jumping on point," Marvel Point One is a great buy.

Mansions of Madness

2011-11-09T13:54:00.000-08:00

Mansions of Madness is a new horror-themed board game from Fantasy Flight Games, the same company that produces Arkham Horror. Players work together to explore a haunted house (the layout of which changes from game to game), kill monsters, and discover dread secrets. Meanwhile the keeper works against the players, summoning creatures, casting spells, and persuing his own nefarious goals.

I ran a couple games of MoM for our Havenween party. It takes a while to set up, but gameplay is smooth and, with only one die to roll, a breeze to pick up. It comes with some good-looking miniatures and has several clever mechanics. A favorite of mine is that, when confronted with a locked door or some such, a player doesn't just make an intelligence roll. Instead, she has to solve actual logic puzzles, getting as many chances as she has intelligence points.

Mansions of Madness is great for people ready for a challenging game and Lovecraftian horror. It's available now at Haven. Come in and check it out.

To learn more, here's a long review from Board Game Geek.

Haven Halloween Party, Oct 30th 2-8pm!

2011-10-25T16:22:00.000-07:00

Candy. Costumes. Cthulu?

October 30th is...

HAVENWEEN.

Haven Comics Halloween Party

2pm to 8pm

Join us, won't you, for an afternoon of traveling into the realms beyond sanity where mortal man was not meant to tread!

Or just come on over and play Arkham Horror with us! Consider this the perfect pre-game to your candy-based festivities.

You are invited to join us in our celebration of all things spooky, ghoulish and Halloween as we break out one of the best board games you'll ever lose your sanity playing.

If unwinding the aeons and looking beyond the borders of space and time doesn't interest you, we'll also have a wide variety of board games to pick from!

There will be snacks, gaming, treats, nerds and possibly a few tricks. Show up in costume or come as you are, and let the Halloween games begin!

Boys: Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker #1 – The story of Billy Butcher, the Boys' mysterious leader, is told at last. From the backstreets of London's East End to the carnage of the Falklands War, from the heights of love to the depths of tragedy, the most violent man in comics reveals the terrible nature of the forces that drive him. And when he's done, he'll be ready... to finish things once and for all.

Daredevil #1 – THIS SUMMER, THE DEVIL IS REBORN. RENEWED. RESSURECTED. With new enemies, new friends...and that same old 'grinnin' in the face of hell' attitude, The Man Without Fear is back in a double-sized first issue and leading with his face! Mark Waid (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Irredeemable, RUSE) joins neo-legendary artists Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin for a new spin on Daredevil that will leave you gasping for air. Having turned his world upside over the past several years, Matt Murdock realizes that justice may not be blind to his past and villains may not be the only ones looking for answers. Bring it on. If Matt Murdock could see what he was doing...he'd be terrified.

Deadlands: Massacre at Red Wing (1-shot) – Visionary Comics and Pinnacle Entertainment present the second of four one-shots bringing the weird Western world of Deadlands to comics! Written by Jonah Hex scribes JIMMY PALMIOTTI & JUSTIN GRAY, 'Massacre at Red Wing' tells the story of Clementime, a warrior woman who journeys south in search of her mother, swearing to kill anyone and anything that gets in the way.

Haunted City #0 – Colors In the corners of our minds, we find ourselves asking...who protects us from the unknown? Detective Tom Whalen is a 'lifer' on the force, as well as a veteran of the decrepit streets of New York City...along with all the freaks that come with it. Yet, the city might not be anything close to what he thinks it is, in fact-it might just be far worse than he ever imagined! Journey through the supernatural origin and expansion of America's most famous metropolis, New York City, in this introductory HAUNTED CITY zero issue that will uncover those which dwells in the shadows of the paranormal, and also reveals why Detective Whalen may not be able to survive the city he's spent his entire life protecting.

Misadventures of Adam West #1 – The Man, The Myth, The Amulet? Legendary star of the small and silver screen, Adam West, has his career youth-enized in this hip-whimsical, trans-dimensional epic of an adventure. When a mysterious fan delivers an exotic amulet to Mr. West's doorstep he is Dorothy-fied on an oddysey that will change his career, his love life and, inadvertently, make him the man that saves the universe!

Sergio Aragones’ Funnies #1 – Matt Groening proudly presents an all-new monthly series by the world's most famous and most honored cartoonist, Sergio Aragonés! Each issue offers an assortment of autobiographical anecdotes, perplexing puzzles, slap-happy short stories, as well as Sergio's unique and hilarious pantomimes and gags. With this new series, the world's most beloved cartoonist continues to prove that humor is truly a universal language!

Thor: Heaven and Earth #1 (OF 4) – Written by PAUL JENKINS Art & Cover by ARIEL OLIVETTI In the days before the terrible events of Ragnarok, the Gods of Asgard stare across the ramparts of their city towards a massive, demonic army massed at the gates - the prophesied End of All Days is about to begin. As the armies of darkness begin their initial attacks, Thor confronts Loki, who is destined to usher in the fall of Asgard. But what he learns from the Loki may change the way he sees his treacherous half-brother. For perhaps this terrible event is a time also of renewal. Perhaps in this desperate hour even the God of Lies has a purpose.

Captain America #1 – Bestselling Cap writer Ed Brubaker and superstar artist Steve McNiven bring you the next huge chapter in Steve Rogers life, and it's a perfect jumping-on point for fans of the Cap movie. A funeral for a fallen friend turns into a race against time as the original Captain America makes his explosive return!

Crawl to Me #1 (OF 4) – The story centers on Ryan, as he struggles to protect his family from what appears to be an evil entity living within their basement's crawl space. It is only after a series of violent events occur, when Ryan realizes he must set aside all he believes to be true in order to face his shocking and inevitable reality. This intense thriller will keep you guessing every step of the way.

Dollhouse: Epitaphs #1 (OF 5) – The fight for free will starts now! Alpha was the perfect product of Rossum Corporation's mind-altering technology, until he snapped, burdened by the dozens of personalities they'd downloaded into his brain. Now the technology has gone viral, turning the entire population into murderous automatons, and it's up to the psychotic Alpha and a small group of survivors to save mankind.

Ghost Rider #1 – In the wake of 'fear itself', the spirit of vengeance gets a new lease on death! The hottest, most rocking thing on two wheels returns! Start pumping your fists and banging your head for GHOST RIDER # 1, by writer ROB WILLIAMS (DARK WOLVERINE) and featuring the long-awaited return of superstar artist MATT CLARK (Outsiders, Superman, INHUMANS). Witness the violent birth of the all-new Ghost RiderÖcome to cleanse the earth in a firestorm of Blood, Oil, and Vengeance! Johnny Blaze has been chained to Hell long enough. With the world thrown into chaos in the events of FEAR ITSELF he is given a chance to rid himself of the Spirit of Vengeance forever...and he takes it. The curse is passed onto a new host but Blaze has no idea what nightmares his action has wrought upon the world. Will the new Spirit of Vengeance bring us salvation...or send this world of sinners to a flaming death?

Loose Ends #1 (OF 4) – No one seemed to notice Sonny Gibson as he stepped back into 'The Hideaway,' a dusty little honky-tonk nestled off the Carolina highway. But before the night was over, Sonny would be on the run. From the law, from the criminals, even from himself. Loose Ends is a gritty, slow cooked, 'southern crime romance' that follows a winding trail down Tobacco Road, through the war torn streets of Baghdad, and into the bright lights and bloody gutters of South Florida.

Red Wing #1 (OF 6) – To stay alive in the future, the best fighter pilots in the world not only have to perfect their skills and master their aircraft, they also have to know how to travel through time. Brought to you by award winning writer Jonathan Hickman and possibly the best new talent of the year, Nick Pitarra, the Red Wing is the story of the greatest battle in the history of the history of three worlds.

X-Men: Schism #1 (OF 5) – The X-Men event of the decade starts here! It's never been a more dangerous time to be a mutant. Even with their numbers at a record low, the world refuses to trust mutantkind...and after a mutant-triggered international incident, anti-mutant hatred hits new heights. Of course it's at this moment, when the mutant race needs most to stand together, that a split begins that will tear apart the very foundation of the X-Men. From superstar writer and Marvel Architect Jason Aaron and a full roster of comics' top artists, this is an X-tale that will reverberate for years to come! Come October, the X-Men landscape will be irreparably changed.

Comics Legend, Gene Colan, Passes Away

2011-06-24T08:30:00.000-07:00

Gene Colan, artist extraordinaire and comics legend, has passed away. His death was reported by writer/editor Clifford Meth, a close friend of Colan's, via a June 24 blog post. Meth writes, “I regret to announce that my friend Gene Colan died at about 11 PM on June 23. Gene spent this last week in a quasi-coma state following a broken hip and complications from liver disease. He was 84.”

Known for this moody, evocative work on Daredevil, Tomb of Dracula, Howard the Duck, Tales of Suspense, two Nathaniel Dusk, Private Investigator mini-series, Detective Comics, Batman, and a Detectives, Inc. graphic novel, among many other projects, his career started with Wings Comics in 1944. The artist also co-created Marvel's Blade and Falcon.

In 2005, Colan became a member of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, and his last published comic book work, the illustration of 2009's Captain America #601, won he and writer Ed Brubaker the Eisner Award for Best Single Issue.

15 Love #1 (OF 3) – Marvel is trying out something new, comics that are not superhero based that target fans of different types of stories. In this case, it's a story about a young girl who plays tennis. Here's hoping they know how to tell this type of story!

Amazing Spider-Man/Ghost Rider: Motorstorm #1 – The Spider and the Spirit of Vengeance! the entire death-defying team-up of Spider-Man and Ghost Rider from the pages of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #658-660.

American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest #1 (OF 5) – From the pages of the red-hot Vertigo series comes a five-issue spinoff miniseries! It's World War II in Nazi-occupied Romania as vampire hunters Felicia Book and Cash McCogan (last seen in the critically acclaimed AMERICAN VAMPIRE story 'Devil in the Sand') go behind enemy lines with the secret organization known as the Vassals of the Morningstar in search of a rumored vampire cure. But their haunted, twisted past with Skinner Sweet makes the mission more difficult than they imagined. Superstar artist Sean Murphy (JOE THE BARBARIAN) joins Scott Snyder to tell a story of horror and history, expanding the American Vampire mythology in a way that changes this story forever.

Fly #1 - What if there was a drug that gave you the power to fly? How far would you go to possess it and who would you hurt to get your next fix? This is the story of Eddie Patron. Eddie was trying to live a normal life. A rundown broken life but a normal life nonetheless. But Eddie has a secret and that secret is coming back to haunt him and his life will never be the same again.

MARVEL) team up for the century-spanning epic that takes you through the Marvel Universe's greatest moments...and maybe to its last.

Ka-Zar #1 (OF 5) – The blight of the Burning Season sweeps across the Savage Land, threatening to destroy everything Ka-Zar holds dear--and heralding the re-emergence of the mysterious Ether Tribe. Trapped between forces from within and outside the Savage Land, can Ka-Zar save his kingdom before it's too late?

Mystery Men #1 (OF 5) – Everything about this book is a mystery, including half the title! Marvel is keeping this one under wraps, so give it a look see. You want to know what the heck this is as much as the next guy, don’t you?!

Rocketeer Adventures #1 (OF 4) – The Rocketeer Flies Again! Dave Stevens unveiled the Rocketeer nearly 30 years ago to instant acclaim, and in all the years since that auspicious debut, respect for Dave's talent and his greatest creation have only continued to grow. Last year, IDW had the honor of releasing the complete Rocketeer saga in several editions, showcasing the work of this great artist as it was always meant to be seen-completely remastered, with nearly every page scanned directly from the originals and recolored by Dave's hand-picked colorist. Today we are able to celebrate Dave's talent once again, with an all-new Rocketeer anthology miniseries written and drawn by some of the finest creators in comics, and with the full cooperation of the Stevens family.

Samurai’s Blood #1 (OF 6) – In an era when lineage defined you, three teenagers must make their way through the world hiding their identities in order to find their destinies. As their village burns behind them, they are headed for a city they'd heard about only in stories.

Will they rise on the tides of vengeance, or they will they fall on the swords of fate?

In the tradition of Robot Chicken: Star Wars and Spaceballs comes a loving, affectionate parody of the greatest science fiction franchise of all time! The first of a two-issue mini-series, this is a fan-pleasing romp that skewers one of the greatest adventure stories ever told!

Supreme Power #1 (OF 4) – The groundbreaking, controversial Supreme Power is back! A new era begins for the deadliest super heroes of all time - the man known as Hyperion has disappeared, hiding from the government and finally living the life he always wanted. Dr. Spectrum has taken his place as America's greatest heroÖand the US Military's greatest asset. But when the balance of super-power threatens the world, and Dr. Spectrum becomes a deadly liability, Hyperion's solitude may be short-lived. Will these two former allies find themselves at the center of a conflict that could engulf the planet?

Valiant is Back!

2011-06-02T09:06:00.001-07:00

Valiant Entertainment to Release New Comics in 2012!

Official Release

Valiant Entertainment, the character-based entertainment company with more than 1,500 characters in its library, announced it will reintroduce the critically acclaimed Valiant Universe in print and digital comics in 2012. Valiant has hired accomplished industry executives and creative talent to expand its management team. The first announcement is that former Marvel CEO and Vice Chairman Peter Cuneo has assumed the role of Chairman of Valiant.

Valiant Entertainment, co-founded by Jason Kothari and Dinesh Shamdasani, has received a capital infusion from private investment company Cuneo & Company, LLC. Peter Cuneo, Managing Principal of Cuneo & Co., recently concluded ten years of leadership at Marvel Entertainment, which achieved one of the most extraordinary turnarounds in entertainment history during that period. His tenure with Marvel concluded with Marvel's sale at the end of 2009 to The Walt Disney Company for over $4 billion. Gavin Cuneo, Principal of Cuneo & Co., was an investment banker with Bank of America Merrill Lynch prior to the founding of Cuneo & Co. He has spent over ten years working in investment banking and investment management and has been appointed to Valiant's Board of Directors. Peter and Gavin Cuneo are working closely with Valiant's expanded management team to usher in the new era of Valiant.

"I am excited to be partnering with Peter and Gavin," said CEO Jason Kothari. "Peter's decade of leadership at Marvel, Gavin's decade of experience on Wall Street, and their highly active roles with Valiant will be integral to our expansion."

"The strength of the management team which Jason has created and the quality of the characters owned and controlled by the company have made this an extremely attractive and exciting investment," said Peter Cuneo.

"We see a great opportunity in today's comic book industry for the emergence of a brand that combines the power of a strong legacy with a first-class creative and business team," said Gavin Cuneo.

Originally founded in 1989, Valiant Comics quickly became one of the most successful comic book publishers by creating unique and compelling heroes and villains and focusing on storytelling. Valiant characters have been written and illustrated by many of the industry's most famous creative talents, including Jim Shooter, Bob Layton, Barry Windsor Smith, Joe Quesada, Jim Lee, Frank Miller, Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch, Steve Ditko, Mike Mignola and Neal Adams, among many others. Previously named Publisher of the Year by Diamond Comics Distributors, Valiant characters have sold over 80 million comic books. After creating some of the most popular comic book characters, Valiant was acquired by video game company Acclaim Entertainment. Acclaim used the characters as the basis for a number of successful video game franchises. Acclaim went out of business in 2005 due to issues unrelated to Valiant, including the loss of key sports video game licenses. This enabled Valiant Entertainment to acquire all the rights to the Valiant Comics library at the end of 2007. Valiant Entertainment began operations in 2008 and has made significant progress in the licensing and development of major motion pictures that will be communicated in the coming months. Valiant now expands into publishing.

"We have been planning the reintroduction of the Valiant titles for some time and I'm excited to announce our scheduled launch for 2012," said Director Dinesh Shamdasani. "Cutting-edge characters and stories were the core tenants of the original Valiant and are the core tenants of the new Valiant."

"Valiant owns and controls a universe of some of the most recognizable characters in the comic world," added Peter Cuneo. "To this day, despite interruptions in its history, Valiant has retained an extremely passionate fan base. We are keenly focused on bringing the original Valiant Universe back for these fans as well as introducing these powerful characters and stories to new readers."

Alex Update

2011-03-10T08:29:00.001-08:00

For everyone who has been asking, Alex is doing MUCH better now. He's still in the hospital at the moment, still recovering, but he should be back to himself before long and back to his usual routine over the next week or so.

Sitting in the hospital is no fun, so anyone who wants to go visit Alex is welcome. If you can take comic books or something else to ease the boredom, that would be appreciated too.

A Comic of Ice and Fire (2-2-11)

2011-02-03T08:15:00.001-08:00

If you hang around at Haven much at all, then you probably know that we're big fans of George RR Martin's epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. We love the books, we discuss them ad nauseum, we've played the RPGs set in that world, and we're all anxiously awaiting the HBO TV series based on the books.

Then there was yesterday's announcement:

NEW YORK, NY – February 2, 2011 – Bantam Books, an imprint of the Random House Publishing Group, announced today the acquisition of the comic book and graphic novel rights to the worldwide bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin.

The series will be illustrated by Tommy Patterson and adapted by Daniel Abraham, the award-winning and bestselling author of The Long Price Quartet. The first issue of the monthly comic—which will be published by Dynamite Entertainment—is planned to release in late spring 2011, with compilations of the comics in graphic novel form to follow under the Bantam imprint.

With the television adaptation of A Game of Thrones scheduled to air on HBO starting in April 2011, the comics and graphic novels will further expand the Song of Ice and Fire series into a new medium, creating opportunities for readers old and new to immerse themselves in this bestselling world.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

GEORGE R. R. MARTIN sold his first story in 1971 and hasn't stopped. As a writer-producer, he worked on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and pilots that were never made. In the mid-'90s he returned to prose and began work on A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. He lives with the lovely Parris.

DANIEL ABRAHAM is the author of ten books and more than thirty short stories. He has been nominated for the Hugo, the Nebula, and the World Fantasy awards, and won the International Horror Guild Award. He has written the graphic novel adaptations of George R. R. Martin's novel Fevre Dream and novella "Skin Trade," and original scripts for Wild Cards: The Hard Call. He also writes as MLN Hanover and James S. A. Corey. He lives with his family in the American southwest.

Artist TOMMY PATTERSON’S credits include Farscape for Boom! Studios, the movie adaptation The Warriors for Dynamite Entertainment, and Tales From Wonderland the White Knight, Red Rose and Stingers from Zenescope Entertainment. He has a BS in Studio Art and also works as a graphic designer. Patterson lives in Western Kentucky with his wife and daughter.

ABOUT THE SERIES:

Long ago, in a time long forgotten, a mysterious event threw the seasons of the world out of balance. Now the kingdom is blessed by golden summers that go on for years, and cursed by cruel winters that can last a generation. In the cool north of this kingdom is a royal family ruled by Eddard Stark. The symbol of the royal house of the Starks is a direwolf; their motto is “Winter is coming.” As indeed, it is. For the Iron Throne of Westeros is once more under contention. With Eddard’s help, Robert Baratheon won it away from the corrupt Targaryens, who had ruled Westeros for generations. But when Eddard is summoned south to help an aging king hold the throne they both won, he finds himself enmeshed in a web of treachery and lies, as faction after faction plays that most dangerous game of all: the game of thrones.

Earp: Saints for Sinners #1 (OF 5) – A modern-day re-imagining of a classic western hero! In a world where the American economy has all but collapsed to the levels of the Great Depression, infamous bandits roam the country and the law is as corrupt as the criminals its sworn to stop. Yet one lawman remains a steadfast moral compass for the people: WYATT EARP. Earp has collared more most-wanted men than anyone in history - but after a violent assignment claims the life of his brother, Wyatt sets out to forge a simple life in the only boomtown left: Las Vegas. With gorgeous women and free-flowing money on endless tap, Sin City attracts more people than a modern gold rush.

With nearly everything to lose, Earp will have to beat the odds stacked against him in order to bring old-fashioned justice to Sin City.

Tortured by fragments of nightmares and the glimpses of a past life long-forgotten, Illadra knows that her soul will not rest until she has recovered that which was stolen from her by the entity known as 'Death Queen.' But her journey may end before it has begun, as a monstrous, werewolf assassin is dispatched through the dimensional breach to hunt Illadra and destroy her before she can recover her lost powers. This series promises to be the most powerful Lady Death tale ever (which, let’s face it, shouldn’t be that hard to accomplish)!

BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT #1 – Comics superstar David Finch takes full creative control (both writing and illustrating!) on this brand-new Batman monthly series! Joined by the best of the best - Scott Williams - on inks, this new series is sure to be on everyone's must-read pile! Delving into the more supernatural and esoteric areas of Gotham City, the 6-part storyline explores the horrific murder of one of Bruce Wayne's childhood friends...and the terrible ramifications the brutal crime has on Batman's life!

HELLBOY: SLEEPING & DEAD #1 (OF 2) – While chasing a giant bat through the forest, Hellboy meets an old man with insider knowledge of the coming vampire apocalypse. For the first time, Mike Mignola teams up with artist Scott Hampton (Batman, The Books of Magic) for this gothic tale. First collaboration between Mike Mignola and Scott Hampton. Classic vampire horror!

ONE MONTH TO LIVE PREM HC – An all-star creative roster brings you an all-new Marvel event! Featuring Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers! In a world of unlikely heroes, Dennis Sykes is about to become Marvel's unlikeliest. Banker by day, struggling parent by night - and unhappy about it all. But when a tragic turn of events gives Dennis a 30 day death sentence, he discovers his accident comes with super-powers. And as the weeks in Dennis' life tick down, he sets out to leave a mark one way or the other - - even if he has to go through Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers to do it. Everyone is the hero of their own story - but not every hero is a good guy.

RED: EYES ONLY #1 – Don't miss this prequel to the acclaimed graphic novel by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner. Paul Moses was a killer in the service of the C.I.A. for decades and has the nightmares to prove it. But what mission was the turning point to his retirement? What betrayal cut so deep that it went all the way to the top?

WHAT IF?! 200 – Finally, celebrate the historic 200th issue of What If? Since debuting in 1977, What If? has become a corner staple in the Marvel Universe by spotlighting 'the road not traveled' by many of its heroes and villains as well as the domino effect that the point of divergence creates. What If? 200 offers two titanic tales- the main story is one with a different POV on Siege, 'What If Norman Osborn Won the Siege of Asgard?' What if the Sentry didn't lose control of the Void during battle, allowing for the Siege to ultimately decimate our heroes? With Osborn on top of the world, only one force stands in his way: Doom...and he's not alone as he rebuilds the Cabal with the X-Men?! The second tale is one that will be talked about amongst the multiverse: the murder of Galactus at the hands of...the WATCHER!?! Based on the events in the classic 'Coming of Galactus' storyline in 'The Fantastic Four 48-50,' this one is written by none other than the scribe of those original stories, Stan 'The Man' Lee, himself. Joining him is recent FF artist, Dale Eaglesham. If there is only one back-up story you'll read this year, true believers, it must be this one!

Fear Itself...

2010-12-22T08:26:00.000-08:00

On Tuesday, December 21, New York City’s Midtown Comics played host to a Marvel Comics press conference, during which Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief & Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada and Vice President Executive Editors Tom Brevoort and Axel Alonso announced the House of Ideas’ 2011 comic book event – Fear Itself.

Written by Matt Fraction and featuring the talents of artists Stuart Immonen, Wade Von Grawbadger and Laura Martin, Fear Itself will be a seven-issue limited series beginning in April in which many of Marvel’s heroes will stand against the a villain that thrives on the fear of others, and eight of the most worthy men and women on the planet to oppose him will emerge. During the conference, it was promised that this event would reflect the state of the real world and would thus be just as ambitious as Civil War, if not more so.

“Marvel comics have always used the real world as the canvas on which we write and draw our stories, and on which our characters live,” said Quesada. “From World War II to Apollo 11 to September 11th, the events that have shaped our world have shaped the Marvel Universe. Truth of the matter is, the [time when] Marvel Comics has always excelled – actually, when we’re at our best – is when we’ve taken stock of the world we live in and the era which we’re a part of.”

"There is a secret, a concealed act that happened at the heart of the Marvel Universe years ago, that once revealed will change everything," Brevoort said during the press conference. "We've been setting up dominoes covertly for a while now – some that have been recognized by fans and some that have remained covert.”

Like Civil War and Secret Invasion, the Fear Itself series will present a complete story for those readers that want to only pick up this core title. However, as a universe-encompassing event, this story will also affect a majority of the characters in the Marvel Universe, thus tie-in stories will play out through ongoing series as well as in new mini-series launched in coordination with Fear Itself.

"I've waited a really long time to be able to talk about this,” Fraction commented. “The story should be relatable to where we are today. Like the best of our Marvel stuff, it speaks to the world we live in."

In March, Marvel will release a Fear Itself: Prologue from writer Ed Brubaker and artist Scot Eaton, a World War II-era story starring Captain America and the Invaders that sets the stage for this event’s start.

“Thor. Captain America. Iron Man. The Avengers. Truthfully, has there ever been a time when we’ve need our heroes more?” posed Quesada. “And what about us? What about the Avengers that live deep inside of each one of us? Are we truly the ones we’ve been waiting for? So come this April, all of this is going to be put to the test. What happens when the world gets to a point where despair is so prevalent and seems norm? Like us, will our heroes stand and fight, or will they give in to what they fear the most?”
