My Picks from the Dark Horse Comics August 2013 Solicitations

Just over a week ago Dark Horse released their solicitations for August 2013. To check out the full list follow the link below. And for my picks just keep reading!



B.P.R.D. Hell On Earth #110

"As Liz Sherman fights for her life in a Utah hospital, the B.P.R.D. sends a recon team into the no-man’s land that used to be New York City, and the young psychic Fenix encounters a monster-worshiping cult at the Salton Sea.
• “Lake of Fire” Part 1 of 5
• Art by Eisner winner Tyler Crook (The Sixth Gun). 
“It’s a good a time as any to check in with a series that started as a Hellboy spin-off but has become a force in its own right.”—Comic Book Resources"


Rafael Aberquerque joins on covers and Tyler Crook will be illustrating this next arc "Lake of Fire". B.P.R.D. Well thats a good enough reason to pick this up already. I have slowly been reading more of the Mignola-Verse, Abe Sapien's new ongoing series and the recent Lobster Johnson One Shot, and here is another reason to start picking up another of the titles. I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Station to Station

"Something terrible has happened to the Bay Area. A pipeline explosion has totaled Treasure Island and destroyed the Bay Bridge. At least, that’s the official story.
An interdimensional monster has been brought to San Francisco, and only the men responsible can fight it off, but can they resist its brainwashing? From the pages of Dark Horse Presents!
• From the writers of Betrayal of the Planet of the Apes and Star Wars: Legacy.
• Art by Gabriel Hardman (Agents of Atlas, Hulk, Secret Avengers, Star Wars: Legacy)."

Why should you pick this comic up? From the creative team on Star Wars: Legacy, Betrayal of the Planet of the Apes and Secret Avengers! Here comes one of their creator owned one shots and with the great work on their franchise titles this is bound to be a quality comic!

Halo: Initiation #1

"Halo—one of the largest video game franchises—comes to Dark Horse!
Before she was a supersoldier defending humanity as part of the Spartan IV program, Sarah Palmer was an ODST—Orbital Drop Shock Trooper—carrying out the most dangerous missions behind enemy lines!
• The origin of Sarah Palmer—and the Spartan IV program!
• The Halo franchise has sales eclipsing $3 billion over its lifetime.
• From one of the writers on Halo 4—comics veteran Brian Reed!"

The Halo series is one of the most popular video game titles of all time, with previous comic tie-ins produced by Marvel the franchise has now moved to Dark Horse, who have been successful with such franchises as Star Wars and Mass Effect, Dark Horse produce great tie in comics and I look forward to this one!
