NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 4th

Big week with a great mix for once. Nothing really major though. Baltimore Plague Ships is a vampire in WW2 story by Mignola, based on his novel. Not a Hellboy story, but of interest to Hellboy fans.
Hey look, Deadpool has made it to #1000. Actually its easy to do when you have 10-20 comics a month named after you.
Shadowland #1 started off the crossover slow, but interest has picked up and the Shadowland Bulleseye one-shot should move quick.
DC hasn't abondoned the Elseworlds tales apparently, as Last Family of Krypton, brings classic writer Cary Bates back to do a What IF? style story where Superman didn't come to Earth alone.

Not to be confused with the classic, a new Marvel Universe VS. the Punisher basically sounds like a spin-off from Marvel Zombies, as Frank stands alone against a world full of super powered cannibals.

Paul Cornell must have had the Spitfire spin-off ready back before Capt Britain ended. It seems to continue plot elements with her and Blade hunting down vampires. Not sure if it will possibly connect to current storylines running through the X-Men titles.

IMPROV

I've always been a fan of the comedy improv style of theatre. Its just that it's the kind of thing that is only really good with a solid cast of performers.
Well the Bad Dog theatre group are just such people. I attended their recent super-hero themed show and was hugely entertained. The quick-witted lively cast kept a small room of people laughing for an hour and a half, and at the bargain price of only $10.00.
Part-time staffer and gaming guy Glenn was on hand as well and has this to say.


"Went last night to see Secret Origin (again) at Bad Dog Theatre

I saw the first show and this, the fourth and, sadly, final

How do you review the performance of a show that is only consistent in being inconsistent?

Well, let's try

First off, I do not have to worry about spoilers, as every show is entirely
dependent on a few words randomly shouted out from the audience (I declined to participate this time because my word was used last time. Gotta be fair and share the wealth!)

This show was funny as hell and featured a story about a supercar driver, his dim-witted friend, a villain who wanted to be fluffy and respected, an unusual
origin story, penguins getting punched, an unusual hiding place and the value of an
incompetent but really positive sidekick. Also staplers, but I digress...
I have seen a few shows now from the troupe at Bad Dog and I am impressed by the
chemistry of the players, their ability to mix in very disparate elements on the fly
and their sound effects guy. I can honestly say I would not expect most sound guys
to have some of the sounds he used!
Although the run is over, they did mention that they might do something like this
again. I hope so. And if they do, Justice.. I mean I will be there! "

I concur Glenn, a great show at a great price.

The Bad Dog Theatre is located at 138 Danforth Ave., just around the corner from the Broadview Subway station. Its a smallish place, the main room seems to seat about 50-60, but this adds to the personal audience participation feel that fuels the Improv style.
They are registered as a not for profit organization and accept tax-exempt donations.
They are a fun original group that adds real diversity to the Danforth, and are very deserving of support.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY- JULY 28th

Another busy week to wrap up the month.
Lots of Bat-titles especially. Kevin Smith finally finds the time to finish Batman Widening Gyre, so DC ships it the same day as Return of Bruce Wayne, to make sure we don't miss it. Also running late, First Wave #3 makes its appearance as well.
Marvel's Ultimate Comics line continues its trilogy of mini-series with Ultimate Mystery.
Big book of the week though is not Marvel or DC, its Archie. The saga of Archies future as a married man continues in a new magazine, titled, Life With Archie: Married Life. Its a strange format for Archie comics best known for their digests, but the magazine will give us a flip-book view of both of Archies futures as on one side he's married to Betty and the other side is his Veronica story.
And Walking Dead vol. 12 is finally here. If you think Scott Pilgrim sold fast this week, wait till you see how quick Walking Dead can move.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - JULY 21st

Avatar gives us an Alan Moore penned story The Neonomicon, a sequel to the Courtyard. I'm pretty sure the Preview for this book came out some time last summer, so expect long gaps between issues with this one.
Speaking of late books, Marvel sends the MarvelMan Primer this week. Its meant to get you up to date on all the Who-Where and Why of Marvelman before they start reprinting the classic stuff, THAT STARTED 2 WEEKS AGO!
But that still doesn't top Red Mass For Mars #4. I think most of the people picking up this title had ever given up hope of seeing the last issue.
Wow, another Deadpool comic from Marvel. This time its Lady Deadpool from the Corps comic.
DC sends us on a trip with the Time Masters, as Rip and a small group of heroes travel back in time to stop Batman from returning to the present. WARNING, this book ties in with events from the huge selling Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne.
Gail Simone takes us back to Tranquility for a short mini-series. Welcome to Tranquility is my favourite title from the various relaunches of the Wildstorm Universe.
The HBO series True Blood, makes it to the printed page. They should have shipped this the same day as the new X-Men #1, so the vampires in comics readers could save themselves a trip.
Walking Dead makes it to issue #75, and to celebrate, it will be an over-sized issue with a colour back-up story.
And in case you'd missed it, Scott Pilgrim vol.6 arrives to finish off the epic story. With the movie premiering next month, this book will probably shatter all kinds of sales records.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY- JULY14th

I thought Marvel and DC got most of their #1's out of the way last week, so there would be less to mention today.
The Agents of Atlas spins off Gorilla Man into his own mini-series, and WWHulks continues with 2 Hulked out Heroes specials featuring slugfest action between the big guns of the Marvel universe. And of course they wouldn't be Marvel if they didn't send 3 X-Men titles with #1 in the name the same day.
Of course DC Wildstorm ships the first issue of the X-Files/30 Days of Night X-over at the same time to really fill up the right side of my new comics rack.
The comic I'll be reading first though is from Bongo. The greatest character ever created finally gets his own title as the Simpson's launches Comic Book Guy the comic #1.

NEW COMICS WEDNESDAY - JULY 7th

Well it looks like I was right. The publishers are sending a load of "new" stuff(mostly mini-series) to fill the shelves during the American Holiday week. It won't bother us though, because our comics still show up ON WEDNESDAY!
The Young Avengers finally return, even though the book is called Avengers the Children's Crusade. Its a 9 issue mini-series published bi-monthly.(Can you really call a 2 year storyline a mini?) The original team of Heinberg and Cheung are back, telling the self-contained(not a x-over) story of the kids helping Wiccan in his search for his mom, the Scarlet Witch.
Neal Adams returns to Batman in a big way with, Batman the Odyssey a 6 issue mini that may take a lot more than 6 months to tell.
Hellboy starts a new 3-issue, and the Hit-Monkey(from Deadpool) gets 3 issues too.
Classic Cap., Steve Rogers, gets 4 issues to prove he's a Super-Soldier, it's by Brubaker, and should set up some future storylines for the main Captain America title.
Classic MarvelMan stories start coming our way with the first of 6 issues. These are actual reprints of the cheesy Capt. Marvel(the DC version) type stories that ran in the U.K. during the 50's and 60's. $4.00 for old B&W reprints sounds pretty "cheesy" as well.
The "street" heroes get their turn at a mega crossover with Shadowland. Centered around the events in recent Daredevil issues, characters like Luke Cage and Iron Fist(of course Spidy and Wolvie will be there too)will help battle Bullseye, Elektra and tons of ninjas for control of the heart of New York. Despite the massive number of spin-offs and tie-ins this looks to have, the main book by Diggle should be pretty good.
Brightest Day spins off a one-shot featuring the "old" Atom, that leads into a regular back-up slot in Adventure Comics. It's written by Sweet Tooth creator, Jeff Lemire, so you wont want to miss it.
Bendis returns to his tough, female ,crime comic genre, with an all-new series, Scarlet. This time he's working with his buddy Maleev.
The only other #1 on the list that looks on-going is another X-Men title. Regular X-Men added the Legacy to its name a while back, so adjective less X-Men was available to restart. The book starts off with the X-Men facing off against a vampire(Twilight strikes again) horde. At least the X-Men have a history with Dracula from years back, I'm not sure how far this story will have go towards tying in with past events however.
The X-Women get a one-shot to shine, it looks a lot like a Sports Illustrated swim-suit special by the cover.
By now most of have seen the trailer for the live-action/animated Smurfs movie. Well I'm pretty sure the comic will be better. It was probably a smart idea to start off with a dollar comic first issue though.
