Hey everyone. Quick FOC article this week. Not going to drag this out…jumping right in.
COVERS
I think it was last week we got a variant featuring Sonic as Flash…this week we get the rest of the gang in superhero costumes. I was a big Sonic fan back in the Sega Genesis days…but don’t ask me who is in which costume…
But I do think this is a cool cover and could be a hit down the road, should there be a cross over game or something. For that reason this is the Dirty D
Cover of the Week.
I don’t know much about Archie…much less this series. But I do know a Killing Joke homage when I see one. So this one is for those who collect such things.
Spider-Girl #1 (Momoko Marvel Rivals Variant)
Straight from the pages of Spider-Boy, Spider-GIRL now gets her own series. Will anyone care? Probably not. But some may care for these Momoko Marvel Rivals variant covers. I believe this one is of Luna Snow (why it’s on a Spider-Girl covers…no clue). Luna has a much bigger following than Spider-Girl, I’m guessing though.
New Superman series, just in time for the movie. Pass. But some may not pass on Dell Otto covers, regardless of the book contained within. And it features Krypto! (Who’s a good boy!!!)
Not my favorite Spears covers, but I do like his choices in homages…particularly Amazing Spider-man classics.
NEW ONGOING & MINI SERIES
The SILVER SURFER returns to defend a war-ravaged Earth, but Norrin has a galaxy-sized target on his back. A new enemy will stop at nothing to steal away everything the Surfer is or ever will be. A single human life may be all that decides the Surfer’s salvation…or damnation. If the Surfer falls, who then wields the awesome Power Cosmic?Not sure if this is a one shot or mini…can’t be an ongoing. I’ve found recent Surfer stories to be typically pretty good. Here are some preview pages.
Cora Reims lived the isolated life of a simple farm girl until one fateful summer day, prophetic visions brought her a visitor made of pure light… an angel. In the aftermath, Cora gave birth to a child, a Nephilim: the offspring of an angel and a human woman, seemingly imbued with evil itself. 17 years later, that child’s cherubic appearance can no longer hide his monstrous nature. Frogs boil in their skins as he passes. Crops rot. The townspeople live in fear, knowing that atrocities follow closely behind him. Now, on the eve of his 18th birthday, Cora receives a new vision… Heaven itself has called upon her to destroy the abomination born of her own flesh and blood.From BOOM!. There’s an unlockable virgin variant of this covers as well. Some preview pages can be found here.
In 2049 a tech billionaire CEO/not-so-secret criminal finds himself hunted by his own hacked pleasure-droid as the past returns to haunt him in this mature readers cyber-punk action series!New series by Devil’s Due. I can see the bondage cover being a popular choice.
Detective Kaiju’s past catches up with him when the body of an old friend is discovered in South Faerbraun. Now he must face the demons of his past while investigating the unusual murder.Fan favorite from the What Not comic series “Quested”.
When Jonathan Reason falls asleep, he becomes…something else. Every night, it stalks his quiet town, killing (seemingly) indiscriminately. When he wakes, covered in blood, our story begins. This new horror mystery shows us the horrifying waking hours of an unwilling part-time killer.See the main site for a 4 page preview of this book.
