New Books that are coming out that look interesting

[IntoAnother]

Wallace from the Wire is now writing comic books.

 

Michael B. Jordan Co-Writing New Comic Book Series 'North'

 

I'd read a story by Chris or Snoop (Gbenga Akinnagbe [NY Times free-lance writer] & Felicia Pearson [street smarts] respectively).

 

There's also S6x which is a mini-series written by George Pelecanos (1 of the writers/producers of The Wire).

 

Very likely chance to be optioned. I wouldn't be surprised if it's even optioned before it's released.

In time, even the dead may die?and, now, after multiple 2015 Harvey Award nominations, the most sought-after couple in comics returns with an all-new adventure from Eisner Award-nominated writer Jen Van Meter (Hopeless Savages) and acclaimed artist Roberto de la Torre (Daredevil)! Occult investigators Shan and Hwen Mirage lived their lives in the thrall of an epic love that few will ever have?until Hwen died tragically before his time. Now, after a perilous trip through the underworld, Shan and Hwen have been reunited?but Hwen is still an intangible spirit of the dead - incapable of opening a spellbook or even touching his wife. Their options exhausted, the death-defying Doctors Mirage are about to enact a dangerous spell to restore Hwen's solid form?and grant his ghost a second life. But, in the wrong hands, their ancient rite will become a tool of terror - and unleash a force of pure, homicidal evil that lusts for the murder of the living and the dead alike? a torturous death that obliterates not just everything a person ever had in this world, but everything their ghost will be in the next!

Two issues are in the can and while the duo want the comic to stand alone on its own merits, one of the goals is to craft an eventual producing vehicle for Jordan.

 

Nice , this should be good

Last Gang In Town #1

 

DC Comics: December 23, 2015 Writer: Simon Oliver Art: Rufus Dayglo Cover: Rob Davis

 

Cover Price: $3.99 UPC: 76194132816400111 Diamond ID: OCT150271 GCIN: 947690

 

Forget what you know of England, of the 'Land of Hope and Glory.' Instead, try damp and depressing, and embrace this miserable island for what it is. Our story kicks off in 1976: the country coming apart at its flared corduroy seams, a decade after the Great Train Robbery, when British crime has gone decidedly soft in the middle. Time for a new generation of criminals to rise: a band of snotty-nosed heroes driven by destiny and cheap cider, who will strike fear back into the establishment, put art back into crime and crime back into art, and pull off what will become known as the heist of the century. This new series from Simon Oliver (FBP: FEDERAL BUREAU OF PHYSICS) and Rufus Dayglo (Tank Girl), spans three decades, from the punk rock '70s to the decadent '80s and beyond, charting the rise, fall and redemption of a group of bandits that changed the face of the criminal underworld and closed the door on a legacy.

Pencil Head #1

Cover Price: $3.99 Diamond ID: NOV150491 GCIN: 948601

 

PENCIL HEAD is Ted McKeever's semi-autobiographical take on the whacked-out world of the comic book industry. Journey along as we witness protagonist Poodwaddle's trials and tribulations of working, and sustaining, his place in the absurd world of comics, where what happens behind the scenes is far more twisted, and bizarrely hilarious, than anything on the printed page.

Devolution #1

 

Dynamite Entertainment: January 20, 2016 Writer: Rick Remender Art: Jonathan Wayshak Cover: Jae Lee

 

Cover Price: $3.99 UPC: 72513024365201011 Diamond ID: NOV151268 GCIN: 948627

 

Every living creature on Earth has been devolved - the evolutionary clock turned back, reverting all life to odd mutations and prehistoric incarnations. The cities of man are little more than bloody territories ruthlessly dominated by tribal Neanderthals ruling from the backs of mammoths, packs of saber-toothed tigers, and giant man-eating insects. Writer Rick Remender (Black Science, Fear Agent), artist Jon Wayshak (The Authority), and colorist Jordan Boyd (Ant-Man, Planet Hulk) take you on a journey with the last band of 'Still Sapien' humans in the hope of locating an antidote and re-evolving the human race.

Cover Price: $2.99 Diamond ID: JAN160523 GCIN: 951168

Between fighting her sister and hating her husband, Melissa still finds time to fall in lust with a stranger who's an awful lot more than he seems. What appears to be a simple seduction is revealed as something much darker and more dangerous. This controversial and erotically-charged tale of sex, death, and metamorphosis begins with an explosion of carnality and weirdness.

Was thinking about picking up The Discipline next week. Also, Black Road looks interesting.

[james1miller]

Eden's Fall could be interesting. It's a 3 issue crossover with characters from Postal, Think Tank and The Tithe.
