My Comic of the Week 03-04-2013

Green Lantern #19:

Publisher: DC Comics

Writer: Jeff Lemire

Artist: Andre Sorrentino

We are now 3 issues in to Lemire's and Sorrentino's run on Green Arrow and what a turn around this is for the title. The art work is stunning and the story is gripping. Oliver Queen is a character at the lowest of the low fighting an enemy more skilled than he is with answers to questions that he wants answered. And in this issue as many questions questions are made as questions are answered, how his father died, what his fathers role with the island he got stranded on is, but still who is Komodo and what his is role in his father's death? This title continues to keep me wanting to come back for more and I will certainly be picking up issue #20. If you still have picked up this new run on Green Arrow you really should.

Gaming announcement: The Wolf Among Us

Telltale Games has finally announced their game based on the DC Vertigo series Fables. Wolf Among Us. Hot on the heels of their incredible success with The Walking Dead. I am not familiar with the Fables series and its characters but I sure plan on grabbing this after recently playing Walking Dead and I will now be counting down the days till its Summer release.

Another Avengers Title: Avengers A.I.

A week ago Marvel announced one of the first new titles to spin out of their current event Age of Ultron. Yet another Avengers title, Avengers A.I. I guess this answers the question of where Vision fits into Marvel NOW!

But alongside, Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, Young Avengers, Uncanny Avengers and Avengers Arena this will be the 7th monthly Avengers title to hit our shelves come July 2013.

I will no doubt be grabbing this, I am a huge Vision fan and I really love the idea of an A.I. and I really can't wait to see the Doombots roll in this series.

I imagine there will be more on this as the time comes closer and the July Solicitations are released.

My Gaming Shout Out: Walking Dead by Telltale Games

It’s taken me a while to finally get around to giving this a go and I am so glad I found the time. I questioned why this won the Game of the Year award at the VGA’s, but now after playing it I can see exactly why this won as many awards as it did. This game takes you on an emotional roller coaster, investment in characters, difficult decisions all of these values and more make this a gripping and great game. I, as with many others, cannot wait for Season 2 of this set of episodic games. I need to know what happens next to Clementine. If you, like me, could not find the time to play this I strongly recommend you give this a shot as soon as you can.

My One to Watch for 03-04-2013

Abe Sapien #1 Dark and Terrible

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writer: Mike Mignola/ Scott Allie
Artist: Sebastián Fiumara
Colorist: Dave Stewart

I recently was looking for something to read that wasn't really something I would immediately grab from the shelves and that was the first volume of B.P.R.D. I was surprised to find how much I enjoyed this title and spinning out of this I have been looking forward to this new Abe Sapien series. With art and colours by Sebastian Fiumara and Dave Stewart resepectively this book should look great. Abe Sapien was one of my favourite characters when reading the first volume and I hope to catch up on more of the character as I work though further volumes. But for now I am very much looking forward to this ongoing which will give me easier access to the character.

Marvel's next Summer Event: Infinity

Marvel has released more information about its next big summer event, so far we know this will be a 6 issue series and also it will cross over with Jonathan Hickman's Avenger's titles.

This event is being written by Hickman, and seeds are currently being planted within his titles for this event. I have great faith in Hickman that this event will be one of the better ones.

The last event I really enjoyed was Secret Invasion or Civil War and obviously Age of Ultron is still out at the moment and will end in June.

More will be made known after the release of the Marvel Free Comic Book day issue by Hickman and Jim Cheung.

Dark Horse to produce 'The Star Wars' Comic!

Bleeding Cool News has reported one of the most exciting announcements to come out of Wondercon Anaheim 2013. Dark Horse comics have announced that they will be producing a comic based on George Lucas's original concept and script alongside Ralph McQuarrie's original concept art called 'The Star Wars'. I am really excited about this,and with a release date of September there is still a long wait to go. Not sure if there will be anymore news in the coming weeks. But I would be fairly sure there will be more news regarding this at San Diego Comic Con, or possibly even C2E2 at the end of the month. For the original news on this from Bleeding Cool please check out the link below;
