WHY CAN’T WE GET ALONG?! COMICS’ GREATEST LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIPS

Comic Books have always had their fair share of great love stories... men and women who find love despite their differences or adverse circumstances. They’re great and all, but for our money, there’s nothing more interesting than the classic comic book Love/Hate relationship. Heroes in love with villains... scientists in love with their creations-gone-awry... there’s just something more interesting (and juicy) about a relationship where you’re never sure who wants to kill who first... and this month, we look at some of comics’ most messed up couples!

This month’s featured creators are…

MARK SIEGEL & :01 FIRST SECOND BOOKS In 2006, First Second Books launched an ambitious program of graphic novels in every age category, in a wide range of themes and styles, with talent from all over the world. In its first year, American Born Chinese became the first comic ever nominated for a National Book Award and soon after, the first to win the coveted librarians’ Printz Award. Many beloved indie cartoonists make up First Second’s stellar author line-up, from Sara Varon to Scott McCloud, Jessica Abel to Paul Pope, Eddie Campbell to Joann Sfar, and many others — including seasoned talents and newcomers, with projects in fiction and non-fiction, for children and for adults.

Recommended :01 First Second Titles

ADVENTURES IN CARTOONING: This amazing, hilarious caper for young, aspiring cartoonists will breed the next generation of comics authors, indie and otherwise. Decidedly for children, I wish I could send it back in time to my seven-year-old self! Adventures in Cartooning SC (FEB108477)

GUS & HIS GANG: Raunchy and rowdy, Chris Blain’s love letter to the Western genre is slapstick, yet graphically stunning. Although all the tropes of cowboy movies are there, they’re all incidental to the real story: chasing women. This book is decidedly for adults. Gus & His Gang GN (AUG084060)

THE UNSINKABLE WALKER BEAN: Aaron Renier’s high energy, exuberant storytelling made waves with his first book Spiral Bound. Here’s an astonishing series debut, a breathless pirate tale with an unbeatable cast of characters. This one is decidedly for everyone. The Unsinkable Walker Bean (MAY101031)

ASTERIOS POLYP: by David Mazzuchelli. This hardly needs introducing. A visual feast, and a work that keeps giving more, with every reading. Asterios Polyp GN (MAR094389)

WHO WILL RISE WHEN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE IS GRIPPED BY FEAR ITSELF?

March 4, 1933. The United States was in the throes of the Great Depression. The stock market crash of 1929 had broken the economy. Millions were homeless. Millions more were out of work. The United States, a land of unparalleled prosperity, was gripped by fear — Where would the next meal come from? Would there be a roof over one’s head to sleep at night? As the storm clouds of despair gathered and other countries gave into fascism and war to counter the growing fears of a world in collapse, the United States elected a new President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who, when he took the stage at his Inauguration, said to a nation gripped by the dark hour of the soul: “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” Flash forward nearly 80 years. The financial collapse of 2008 — failed banks, foreclosed homes, an unemployment rate flirting with 1-in-10 out of work — has shaken the very foundations of American society. The gap between the haves and the have-nots has grown to a chasm. Politicians prey upon the fears of the electorate. The threat of a terrorist attack is ever-present. Fear has become a fact of daily life. This summer, someone will feed off of that fear to bring the Marvel Universe to its knees in the seven-issue event Fear Itself! Written by Matt Fraction and featuring artists Stuart Immonen, Wade Von Grawbadger, and Laura Martin, Fear Itself will force many of Marvel’s heroes to stand against the a villain that thrives on the fear of others. Sin, the new Red Skull, has uncovered a secret that dates back to the earliest days of the age of heroes, and its revelation will rend families and friends, while also bringing together eight of the worthiest men and women on Earth to oppose the rising force that feeds upon evil itself.

MARVEL PREVIEWS, $3.99, 56 Pages, Page 1

“ Truthfully, has there ever been a time when we’ve need our heroes more? And what about us? What about the Avengers that live deep inside of each one of us? Are we truly the ones we’ve been waiting for? What happens when the world gets to a point where despair is so prevalent and seems norm? Like us, will our heroes stand and fight, or will they give in to what they fear the most?” — Joe Quesada The journey into the Marvel Universe’s “heart of darkness” begins in March’s Fear Itself: Prologue from writer Ed Brubaker and artist Scot Eaton, a World War II tale starring Captain America and the Invaders, then continues in April with the first issue of Fraction and Immonen’s Fear Itself. When fear manifests itself, some will cower, some will cope, some will overcome it, and some will draw upon unexpected courage and demonstrate their true heroism. Have you the courage to read Fear Itself this April?

THE DISCOVERY OF AN OLD SECRETS AND AN OLDER EVIL WILL GRIP THE MARVEL UNIVERSE IN THE THROES OF FEAR, AND HEROES MUST FIND THEIR INNER COURAGE TO COMBAT IT. FEBRUARY 2011 52562_TXT_0009.p1.pdf PDF For SoftProofing 150DPI Softproofs / Épreuves-écran

DEATH VALLEY MEANS ADVENTURE FOR MICKEY MOUSE Not long after Mickey Mouse’s debut in the animated short “Steamboat Willie,” Walt Disney’s beloved character made his arrival on the comic strip pages of newspapers across the country. Fantagraphics Books has brought to modern audiences some of the most iconic comic strips of the past century with their gorgeous collections — Charles Schulz’s Peanuts, Hank Ketcham‘s Dennis the Menace, Hal Foster’s Prince Valiant — and now Mickey Mouse joins their ranks with Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse Volume 1: Race to Death Valley, a 260-page hardcover collection that features some of the earliest comic strip adventures of the Mouse! Written and drawn by Mouse Master Floyd Gottfredson, Mickey Mouse’s adventures took him on wild, two-fisted pulp-style adventures alongside his girlfriend Minnie and her Uncle Mortimer as they sought to outwit villains like Pegleg Pete. For readers who think of Mickey Mouse as a jovial, happy-go-lucky character, these early adventures of Mickey are sure to astonish and entertain as they paint a different view of the iconic character! Complete with essays by Warren Spector (creator of the Epic Mickey video game), Floyd Norman, Thomas Andrae, and David Gerstein, Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse Volume 1: Race to Death Valley presents some of Mickey Mouse’s earliest stories, along with historical commentary and other rare ephemera in the same Fantagraphics style that has archived other classic comic strips for a new generation of Disney fans!

COMICS’ LEGENDARY ANTHOLOGY DARK HORSE PRESENTS RETURNS Twenty-five years ago, an Oregon comic shop owner named Mike Richardson had an idea — a small press anthology of cutting edge work by some under-the-radar and up-and-coming creators. Creators like Paul Chadwick and Chris Warner got their start in the pages of Dark Horse Presents, while established creators like Frank Miller and Matt Wagner tried out new concepts and properties like Aliens were introduced to comic book readers. Dark Horse Presents returns to comic shop shelves this April with an all-new Dark Horse Presents #1. The ethos is the same, but the format is bigger and, this time, full-color! An all-star line-up of creators — Neal Adams, Paul Chadwick, Howard Chaykin, Richard Corben, Harlan Ellison, and Frank Miller, among many others — provide a wealth of stories for the 80-page debut issue. From a sneak-peak of Xerxes, Frank Miller’s long-awaited prequel to 300, and a prose short story by science-fiction grandmaster Harlan Ellison to a new Concrete story from creator Paul Chadwick and a new story from the legendary Neal Adams, Dark Horse Presents features top-notch work from comic legends of yesterday, today, and tomorrow! A legendary anthology, featuring legendary creators, returns from Dark Horse Comics this April with Dark Horse Presents. Don’t miss out!

GO CAMPING WITH DONALD DUCK WITH THIS NEW STATUE

385 12

Donald Duck’s adventures as the troop leader of the Boy Scouts was chronicled in the 1938 animated short, “Good Scouts.” A hiking trip through Yellowstone National Park with his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie in tow should have been an educational experience, except that, for Donald, everything he did went horribly wrong! Nominated for an Academy Award, “Good Scouts” featured storyboards by master Duck artist Carl Barks, and Enesco brings the Scout leader Donald Duck to life from the original animation reference with the Walt Disney Classics Collection: Happy Camper Donald Duck Figurine. Standing 5” tall, the figurine sees Donald ready for his outdoor adventures, and for any Scout or Duck fan, this will make a unique addition to their collection!

When the Ghostbusters came to TV in the late ’80s, fans were delighted to see all of their favorite characters back in form, bustin’ ghosts and other assorted supernatural creeps in their usual fashion. Featuring the voice of Lorenzo Music (the voice of TV’s Garfield) as Peter Venkman (originally played by Bill Murray… who voiced the movie Garfield), The Real Ghostbusters was a big hit and ran for six years.

After revolutionizing the worlds of design and storytelling in 1984, Dean Motter’s Mister X returned half a decade later to reinvent alternative comics again for a whole new audience. Returning to the story of Radiant City’s mysterious architect and his sleepless quest to repair the flaw in its design that is driving its citizens mad, the second version of Motter’s creation used the blackand-white format to introduce deeper shadows and more expressionistic angles to its Art Deco world. With an edgier look and starker themes, this take on Mister X is as groundbreaking today as it was twenty years ago.

SCI-FI / FANTASY

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS My main tie with Dark Horse has always been what I call “The Robert E. Howard Connection.” The early days of Dark Horse were the late days of my own involvement with Marvel’s rendition of Conan, my second time around. I thought it might be fun to mine some of the lesser-known REH creations such as Cormac Mac Art, Bran Mak Morn, and Esau Cairn of Almuric. Mike Richardson enthusiastically signed aboard on behalf of Dark Horse, and I got to work. The late E. R. Cruz did a fine job on the Cormac Mac Art miniseries. Regarding REH’s short novel Almuric—I was delighted with the graphic novel Dark Horse made out of the comics serialization that artist Tim Conrad and I had done for Epic Illustrated. I thought we had a potential winner in the two-issue adaptation of REH’s Kings of the Night, which costarred Bran Mak Morn and King Kull, the latter known to comics readers from his Marvel days. I felt Dark Horse was a breath of fresh air in what had become little more than a two-company field when it came to heroic adventure. I watched a number of Dark Horse projects I’d have loved to be involved with pass me by . . . Tarzan/John Carter of Mars, Tarzan vs. the Moon Men . . . and then the early days of the Dark Horse Conan, Kull, and even Solomon Kane. From time to time Mike and I would talk about my doing something with one of the REH heroes after Dark Horse had established its own separate identity with them.

Finally, as the fortieth anniversary of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian #1 approached, Mike suggested that I do something with them to celebrate. I enthusiastically agreed, and after a short time, the current twelve-issue Conan: Road of Kings was born. As these words are written, only the first issue of that series has gone on sale, but, after more than a decade away from my favorite Cimmerian, it’s good to be back. Since I just turned seventy, I’m hoping it’s not another ten years before the ghost of Robert E. Howard stands at my shoulder again, bidding me to write some of the stories that he didn’t quite get around to in his own mere thirty years. Whatever happens, though, I’m grateful to Dark Horse for bringing me aboard for a celebration that has real meaning for me. Long may Dark Horse ride! —Roy Thomas .

“Every so often, one of the masters of the comics medium will release a project which reminds the entire industry and beyond of both their vitality as well as the power the medium holds. Joe Kubert’s YOSSEL is just that.” — NEWSARAMA

A HARVEY AND EISNER AWARD NOMINEE!

“Kubert’s straightforward, heartfelt portrayal of the Nazi era’s horrors . . . has its own undeniable power.” — BOOKLIST

YOSSEL TP

Written by JOE KUBERT Art and cover by JOE KUBERT

JOE KUBERT LIBRARY

In this harrowing yet inspiring “alternate reality” story, legendary artist Joe Kubert explores what would have happened if he and his family never emigrated from Poland to the US in 1926. Yossel is a fifteen-year-old boy who could have grown up to be a great artist. But in Nazi-occupied Poland, he and his family are deprived of their rights, homes and possessions, and forced to live in the devastating conditions of the Warsaw Ghetto. YOSSEL, April 19th, 1943 is his story, told through Kubert’s raw and evocative pencilled art. Yossel’s sketches of super heroes ingratiates him to the Nazi guards, but it is through his journal drawn on scraps of paper that he depicts the full horror of his existence. With great emotional power, YOSSEL draws a dark and brutal reality of ghetto life, of the stories he hears of the concentration camp atrocities, and ultimately portrays the final act of defiance and courage that drives the fatal uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto.

DONG XOAI, VIETNAM 1965 TP

“One of the greatest war comics ever made.” — Publishers Weekly Written by JOE KUBERT Art and cover by JOE KUBERT Joe Kubert, one of the most influential storytellers in comics history, tells the harrowing, true story of a detachment of Special Forces soldiers on a simple recon mission into the village of Dong Xoai, Vietnam, that turned suddenly deadly. DONG XOAI, VIETNAM 1965 has a unique perspective, since Kubert based the story on extensive information gathered from the surviving members of the unit. It covers not only the action of the event but the details of deployment and build-up that led to the deadly encounter for these young American G.I.s. For decades, Joe Kubert has shown readers the true face of war – all the suffering, horror, loss and heroism of our fighting forces. With DONG XAOI, he goes a step beyond to tell a gut-wrenching tale of sacrifice that will linger long after you are done reading.

DMZ VOL. 10: COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT TP

Written by BRIAN WOOD Art ANDREA MUTTI, NATHAN FOX, DANIJEL ZEZELJ and DAVID LAPHAM Cover by BRIAN WOOD In this collection of tales from DMZ #55-59, citizens and soldiers – new characters and old – weather the storm of a brutal “shock and awe” bombing campaign on the DMZ. Included is a story concerning the enigmatic Wilson, the self-professed protector of Chinatown and confidant to series star Matty Roth who has always said he’d own the DMZ in the end. Now, with the U.S. poised to steamroll its way into the city, it’s do-or-die time for the old man. In another tale, Matty lends his Liberty News secure phone line to DMZ citizens to reach out to loved ones outside the city – a direct violation of his contract. Is this the beginning of a new, compassionate Matty looking to atone? Or are more cynical motives at play?

WE3 DELUXE EDITION HC Written by GRANT MORRISON Art and cover by FRANK QUITELY

For the first time in hardcover, a powerful tale from the ALL-STAR SUPERMAN team of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely! Morrison and Quitely deliver the emotional journey of WE3 – three house pets weaponized for combat by the government – as they search for “home” and ward off the shadowy agency that created them. With nervous systems amplified to match their terrifying exoskeletons, the members of Animal Weapon 3 (WE3) have the firepower of a battalion. But as prototypes, they’re slated to be permanently “decommissioned” after their testing is complete, causing them to make a desperate run for freedom. Relentlessly pursued by their makers, WE3 must navigate a frightening world where their heightened abilities make them as much a threat as those hunting them – but a world in which they must find a home. This amazing hardcover features new story pages by Morrison and Quitely.

NAT JONES APRIL 20 32 PAGES / FC $3.99 On February 13, 1968, during the darkest days of the Vietnam conflict, the gates of hell opened wide, unleashing new and hungry life into the countless war-torn dead. The horrors of war take a back seat as an American tunnel rat crawls into a Viet Cong warren turned undead slaughterhouse, rotting snipers fire their final bullets from treetop perches, and freshly filled body bags twitch and rise from the slab. There are zombies in the razor wire… Horror comics creators NAT JONES, MARK KIDWELL and JAY FOTOS return to the jungles of Vietnam, expanding the zombie epic started in the original one-shot ’68 with this four-issue mini-series of undead military horror. Each issue features multiple covers by Jones and Fotos, full 22page stories in series continuity and a bonus 4-page short that expands on the zombieinfected world of 1968 by horror titan Tim Vigil. Welcome to 1968… and the end of the world.

H G I L T O P S

W/ BRUCE MCCORKINDALE, RICK HILTBRUNNER & PETER PALMIOTTI

The Apocalypse has been cancelled for lack of interest, but a few demonic forces didn’t get the memo and are bent on starting something come judgment day. Heaven chooses the dim-witted but wellmeaning Golly Munhollen, a semi-employed carnival ride repairman and demolition derby champion, to serve as earth’s guardian in the fizzled end times. With the help of his carnival pals — Vaughn, the tattooed man; Pig, the fat lady turned strong woman; Miguel, the dog-faced acrobat boy genius; and Satan, former monarch of Hell working the midway for cigarette money — Golly must face off with were-hogs and trailer park vampires in this blend of lowbrow humor and high octane horror.

Min-Woo Hyung, the stunning Korean creator behind the original Priest graphic novels, is coming at you again with a whole new series—this time in color. Take all your assumptions about manga formats and throw them out the window. Ghostface will be presented by Tokyopop as 7” by 10” standard US graphic novels that read left to right, just like a Marvel or DC book. Even better? They’re all full color. Thousands of the world’s most ruthless criminals are locked away in the ruins of a city on a wind-swept island called Sodo. Out of the writhing mass of vice and violence, the strongest of the ganglords have clawed their way to the top and set themselves up as local gods of the prison island.The corporate city-states which jailed these dangerous men and women rely on the unending tides of gang war to keep the criminals stranded—but since only the strong survive, the island instead serves as an incubator, bringing out the worst and most extreme in its captives. One such super-criminal has escaped Sodo, has broken into high-tech corporate labs on the mainland, and has stolen a chemical that could change everything. Hyung’s art work has always been razor-sharp, winding like a snake-strike as his characters’ fight scenes whip across the page. Fantastic sprays of bullets, blood, and sweat arc across Hyung’s characteristically painstaking background work.The series feels as though it’s set in Akira’s Neo-Tokyo, with a riff on the mind-bendingly dangerous cast of Street Fighter.This time though, there are no intricate side stories; the plot surges ahead like a bullet, straightforward and bloodthirsty, creating an edge-of-your-seat actioner from one of Korea’s leading lights. ~Sarah Martinez

DRAWN & QUARTERLY BIGFOOT HC

A DRIFTING LIFE TP (NEW PRINTING)

(W/A) Pascal Girard Jimmy is a teenager in a crummy little town. He’s got a lousy best friend, a porn habit, and an uncle whose miserable existence is the embodiment of life stalled in its tracks. He’s also got a tender soul, a pure-hearted crush, and the makings of a budding artist. A horrible YouTube video of Jimmy dancing in his living room becomes viral and makes every sweet and hopeful thing about Jimmy seem utterly pathetic. Everyone from fellow classmates to the clerk at the corner store has seen the video, and Jimmy finds himself a celebrity in his town, just for the wrong reasons. MATURE THEMES HC, 7x10, 48pgs, FC ...........................$19.95

THE BOX MAN HC

ONWARD TOWARDS OUR NOBLE DEATHS GN (W/A) Shigeru Mizuki A landmark publishing event by one of Japan’s most famous cartoonists. Shigeru Mizuki is the preeminent figure of Gekiga manga and one of the most famous working cartoonists in Japan today. Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths is his first book to be translated into English and is a semi-autobiographical account of the desperate final weeks of a Japanese infantry unit at the end of World War II. The soldiers are told that they must go into battle and die for the honor of their country, with certain execution facing them if they return alive. Mizuki was a soldier himself, and he uses his experiences to convey the devastating consequences and moral depravity of the war. MATURE THEMES SC, 6x9, 368pgs, B&W..........................................................$24.95

(W/A) Imiri Sakabashira Enter the strange world of Imiri Sakabashira, whose denizens are zoomorphic creatures that emerge from one another as well as their equally bizarre environs. The Box Man follows its protagonists along a scooter trip through a complex landscape that oscillates between a dense city, a countryside simplified to near abstraction, and hybrids of the two. Sakabashira weaves this absurdist tale in a seamless tapestry constructed of elements as seemingly disparate as Japanese folklore, pop culture, and surrealism. MATURE THEMES HC, 6x8, 128pgs, B&W.............$24.95

RED SNOW HC (W/A) Susumu Karsumata Red Snow continues D+Q’s groundbreaking exploration of the fascinating world of Gekiga in this collection of short stories drawn with great delicacy and told with subtle nuance by legendary Japanese artist Susumu Katsumata. The setting is the pre-modern Japanese countryside of the author’s youth, a slightly magical world where ancestral traditions hold sway over a people in the full vigor of life. MATURE THEMES HC, 7x9, 240pgs, B&W.............$24.95

REUNION SC (W/A) Pascal Girard In the summer of 2009, Pascal Girard received an invitation to attend his ten-year high-school reunion. Initially dismissing the idea of attending, he quickly changes his mind when he receives an e-mail from Lucie Coté, the girl he had a huge crush on in high school, who wonders if he would like to accompany her. Pascal becomes flustered with joy, but he must keep his uncontrollable infatuation a secret from his girlfriend, Julie, and he must do something about his weight. He takes up jogging every day until he reaches his goal of shedding fifty pounds. The now-slender Pascal arrives at the big event, full of fervent anticipation, but his fantasies become cruelly deflated with each conversation he has with his former classmates.

A SINGLE MATCH HC RED-COLORED ELEGY HC (W/A) Seiichi Hayashi Uninvolved with the political movements of the 1960s, Ichiro and Sachiko hope for something better, but they’re not revolutionaries; their spare time is spent drinking, smoking, daydreaming, and sleeping — together and at times with others. Both in their relationship and at work, Ichiro and Sachiko are unable to say the things they need to say, and like any couple, at times say things to each other that they do not mean, ultimately communicating as much with their body language and what remains unsaid as with words. MATURE THEMES HC, 6x9, 240pgs, B&W.............$24.95

(W/A) Oji Suzuki In this collection of hauntingly elliptical short stories, Oji Suzuki explores memory, relationships and loss with a loose narrative style, filling each tale with a sense of unfulfilled longing. He plumbs the dissolute depths of human psychology, literally bathing his characters in expansive shadows that paradoxically reveal as much as they obscure. Though he touches on many of the same themes as his contemporaries in the field of post-war alternative manga, Suzuki’s ever-shifting narrative approach and dashes of surrealist humor distinguish his work from his peers.

TITAN COMICS

(W/A) Various Titmouse Volume 1 is not a cartoon. It is also not a comic book, not a magazine, and it’s not a book — it’s a Mook, a magazine-book. Like Sushi, Mook is an addictive Japanese concept that will take the world by storm. We have assembled a team of weirdo artist-types to create this 100 page hardcover anthology and printed it in full color on fancy paper featuring comic strips, paintings, and interviews from some of the art world’s most interesting individuals. It’s 1/3 Heavy Metal, 1/3 MAD Magazine, 1/3 Juxtapoz, and 1/3 Ralph Bakshi film-onpaper, fancy paper. MATURE THEMES HC, 8x11, 100pgs, FC.........$24.99

ALIVE CHARACTER DESIGN FOR GAMES ANIMATION & FILM SC

Follow this lively and entertaining book as it illuminates the basics of effective character design. Whether male or female, animal, monster or alien - certain rules apply that animate the figure and elevate it from a two-dimensional plane. Knowledge of anatomy and proportion provides a framework and is crucial to attaining a convincing characterization. Facial expressions and body language complement the whole, conveying emotion and intention through subtle nuances of line and form. Utilizing a broad assortment of sketches and finished illustrations, the fundamentals of process are revealed - from the divergent contours of gender to the anthropomorphization of animals, from the constraints of morphology on motion to the effects of environment on new species. A must for working and would-be animators alike! (C: 0-1-2) SC, 11x8, 176pgs, FC ................$29.95

FANTASY+PLUS VOLUME 3: HAND-PAINTED ILLUSTRATIONS SC While instantly recognizable in terms of theme and characterization, Fantasy+ 3 departs from the previous two volumes in the series to examine the state of hand-rendered fantasy art.

Digital art has become a pervasive medium and highly influential in popular culture. From the movies we see to the video games we play, we regularly immerse ourselves in realms not our own, experiencing reality through new and prismatic filters, often learning something about ourselves in the process. Fantasy+ 3 shows how traditional fantasy art still has its place in our lives, complementing the explosion of CG art as it inspires a new wave of artists. Featured artists include: Raúl Cruz, Peter Ferguson, Eric Fortune, Tom Fowler, Eric Joyner, Terese Nielsen, Adrian Smith, Shaun Tan, and more! (C: 0-1-2) SC, 9x12, 192pgs, FC ...........$29.95

Imported from the UK! Many years ago, the Daleks sent out thousands of egg-shaped Progenitors containing the genetic coding of the race, so that new Daleks could be created when necessary. One of these Progenitors was found in war-torn England during the Second World War and transported to a Dalek ship. However, because the Daleks had been genetically modified by their creator Davros, the Progenitor did not acknowledge them as pure Daleks. Only when the Doctor identified them as such was the Progenitor able to activate, creating a powerful new race of Daleks.

STAR TREK EXPEDITIONS BOARD GAME Designed by award-winning game designer Reiner Knizia, Star Trek Expeditions is a cooperative mission game in which players take on the roles of Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Uhura, who are responding to an invitation from the Nibian government to open discussions about the planet joining the United Federation of Planets. However, now that the Enterprise has arrived, you find the President of Nibia less happy to see you than the invitation suggested, and Mr. Spock has detected evidence that another starship may have recently been in orbit. Lead your away teams made up of crew and resources from the Enterprise to solve the major story arcs, plus key side missions, before the Klingon fleet arrives, or the lone cloaked Klingon battle-cruiser in orbit destroys the Enterprise and her crew. Three difficulty levels, random side missions, player strategies and a unique branching mission tree ensure every game will be a unique, memorable experience. The game comes with pre-painted character and starship figures, game board, cards, tokens and dice, so ready your phasers and prepare to beam down 1-4 players!

WORLDSFORGE WATCHMEN HEROCLIX: DR. MANHATTAN BIG FIGURE FIELD COMMAND SINGAPORE 1942 BOARD GAME CARDS EXP Field Command: Singapore 1942 Cards Expansion is a card-based expansion to the Field Command: Singapore 1942, which is about the Battle of Singapore during the Second World War. This expansion allows the player to experience many interesting and unique episodes that truly happened during the Battle of Singapore, such as Yamashita’s bluff and Maxwell’s premature withdrawal, the failed Japanese ruse of disguise as Indian soldiers, and the burning hell on Kranji river. Together, these episodes epitomize the unpredict-ability of warfare, as few real battles follow the textbook or even go according to plan. The cards come in 2 decks, one for each side of the conflict, and enhance the replayability of 2 campaign scenarios — Impregnable Fortress & The Almost Naked Island. Players will get to adapt to unforeseen situations and surprise their opponents. Every game is a new challenge!

GHOSTFACE VOLUME 1 TP TOKYOPOP Min-Woo Hyung, the stunning Korean creator behind the original Priest graphic novels, is coming at you again with a whole new series—this time in color. Take all your assumptions about manga formats and throw them out the window. Ghostface will be presented by Tokyopop as 7” by 10” standard US graphic novels that read left to right, just like a Marvel or DC book. Even better? They’re all full color. Thousands of the world’s most ruthless criminals are locked away in the ruins of a city on a wind-swept island called Sodo. Out of the writhing mass of vice and violence, the strongest of the ganglords have clawed their way to the top and set themselves up as local gods of the prison island. The corporate city-states which jailed these dangerous men and women rely on the unending tides of gang war to keep the criminals stranded—but since only the strong survive, the island instead serves as an incubator, bringing out the worst and most extreme in its captives. One such super-criminal has escaped Sodo, has broken into high-tech corporate labs on the mainland, and has stolen a chemical that could change everything. Hyung’s art work has always been razor-sharp, winding like a snake-strike as his characters’ fight scenes whip across the page. Fantastic sprays of bullets, blood, and sweat arc across Hyung’s characteristically painstaking background work. The series feels as though it’s set in Akira’s Neo-Tokyo, with a riff on the mindbendingly dangerous cast of Street Fighter. This time though, there are no intricate side stories; the plot surges ahead like a bullet, straightforward and bloodthirsty, creating an edge-of-your-seat actioner from one of Korea’s leading lights.

THE BOYS VOLUME 8: HIGHLAND LADDIE TP DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

SEE PREVIEWS PAGE 270

Strap on your kilts and grab your bagpipes! Comicdom’s favorite Scotsman is headed home in Dynamite’s latest volume of the blockbuster The Boys, which collects the Highland Laddie mini-series. Hughie, unable to deal with the realities of his new occupation and plagued by recent insights involving his romantic life, retreats to his home in Scotland for a wee bit of time to himself. In a journey that explores his past through the lens of the present day, Hughie learns that his childhood may not be as idyllic as he remembers it. Series writer Garth Ennis provides readers with a memorable romp through the highlands of Scotland, with clever nods to long time Scotch favorites like The Broons and Oor Wullie. John McCrea, artist of the Herogasm limited series, sets the scene perfectly with his twisted interpretations of the idyllic small Scottish town. Amidst all of these nods and familiar Boys series jokes lies a tale about coming to terms with the realities of life and just what it means to grow-up. Fans of The Boys won’t want to miss this latest chapter in Ennis’ saga. RECOMMENDED BY: TIM

DANGER GIRL/ ARMY OF DARKNESS #1

ALEX TOTH: THE ADVENTURES OF JON FURY IN JAPAN SPECIAL EDITION

DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT & IDW PUBLISHING Some crossovers were meant to be. Like peanut butter and chocolate they make two already good things into something great. The crossover event has been a staple of the comic book industry for a very long time and we’ve enjoyed some really candy-tastic comic confectionary treats over the years. This month the folks at Dynamite Entertainment and IDW Publishing are mixing two titles that are seemingly made for one another in the Danger Girl/Army of Darkness crossover. Take a sassy and sexy spyriffic femme fatale and put her in the same universe as the wisecracking dimwitted chosen one of the Evil Dead franchise and you’ve got instant fireworks. Add to that mix a scribe in Andy Hartnell who has been behind successful series from both licenses and a bunch of scrumdiddlyumptious covers by Danger Girl creator J. Scott Campbell and you’ve got a recipe for success. Abby is on a mission to recover a certain book of Kandarian rites when she gets more than bargained for from some demons determined to swallow her soul. How do you get out of that mess? With a heapin helping of boom stick applied liberally by Ashley J. Williams, of course. Fans of Danger Girl and Army of Darkness rejoice your dream project is here wrapped in a shiny candy coating. Talk about “gimme some sugar, baby” indeed…

We’re in the midst of an Alex Toth renaissance, with a number of new projects announced over the last few months. Every project featuring his work can only bring greater recognition to one of comics’ top illustrators and storytellers, giving fans a chance to show a greater respect for the artist. In Alex Toth: The Adventures of Jon Fury in Japan Special Edition, Toth’s many fans get the chance to read the stories of Jon Fury done by Toth while he served in the Army in the 1950s. While Toth excelled in black and white design, this book provides his stories in full color. Of special importance is the interview by Paul Power, Anson Jew, and Benton Jew. Done shortly before Toth’s death, it provides insight into the man and how the comic and animation industries looked to one who was always regarded as a maverick. If you are a fan of Alex Toth, comic history, or the animation industry, then you will want this book. A great start for Paul Power Productions. RECOMMENDED BY: STEVE

Long in the making, Abyss, one of Red 5’s earliest and most entertaining series, makes a comeback with the second chapter of everyone’s favorite son of a supervillain! The secret is out and the whole world now knows the identity of Abyss. The only problem is that, even with his evil father out of the way, young Eric still has trouble convincing the public that he’s using the Abyss persona for good. Eric’s life is now full of bad press and more then enough villains to fight but, when a super scandal breaks out regarding his mother, it seems like history is repeating itself and there’s going to be a lot of clean-up involved. Kevin Rubio, the writer behind the comedy series Star Wars: Tag and Bink, once again dusts off the super-suit to show readers the superhero business can be just as dysfunctional as any day-time tabloid talk show!

As Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders once reminded us: there’s a “Thin Line Between Love and Hate.” Throughout popular culture, be it in books, movies, or even comic books, one thing has always remained true: Opposites do attract… and often repel at the same time! This is especially true in the four-color world of comics, as some of our favorite characters are oftentimes simultaneously drawn to and repulsed from one another in between heartbeats. Heroes in love with villains... scientists in love with their creations-gone-awry... there’s just something more interesting (and juicy) about a relationship where you’re never sure who wants to kill who first... men and women who find love despite their differences or adverse circumstances. So in honor of that ages-old institution of Valentine’s Day, we offer up the following examples of some of comics’ most messed-up couples!

The attraction between these two timeless characters goes beyond the medium of comics — as fans certainly played witness to some serious bat-flirting on the small and silver screens. Yet, even the Feline Fatale’s foray into super-heroics couldn’t completely steal the Dark Knight’s heart. Could it be that Batman cannot bring himself to get past Catwoman’s criminal past? Or is it that he is secretly (and perhaps, in regards to their relationship, tragically) attracted to her darker side — a side of the hero that he desperately tries to shield from himself. As for her, could it be that even though he is the at once the “unconquered prize”, he’s also too noble and righteous for her to truly call her own. In any case, if Batman and Catwoman could only see eye-toeye and give into their shared longings for the night, they could perhaps finally find true love.

It’s easy to see that one of acclaimed creator Frank Miller’s shining creative moments was the pairing of Daredevil and Elektra. In their college days as Matt Murdock and Elektra Natchios, they became lovers and the future seemed wide open to them. But when Elektra and her father were kidnapped by terrorists and the police mistakenly killed her father, everything changed for the young heiress. Murdock soon became the costumed vigilante, Daredevil, and Elektra left to begin her path to a mercenary’s life. From that day forward, a darkness begain to grown within Elektra; a darkness that would later bloom when she became a hired assassin and took up arms against Daredevil… the only man to ever steal her heart. Revealing her violent nature, she continued to battle Daredevil until her untimely death. Now, resurrected, Elektra wants nothing to do with Murdock or Daredevil, who also recently dealt with his own personal demons. With so many deaths and rebirths between them, the happier times of their carefree college days — and the love they once shared — seem unobtainable and unreachable.

It was happenstance when Carol Ferris hired fearless test pilot Hal Jordan, finding herself easily attracted to the man who would become the Emerald Gladiator, Green Lantern. However, the young couple’s romance quickly became full of twists and turns when Carol took over the company from her father — making her his “boss”. Their relationship wasn’t helped any when the alien Zamarons chose Carol to be their new queen, transforming her into the Star Sapphire. When the Zamarons learned that Ferris was romantically linked to the Green Lantern of Earth, they commanded that she defeat the hero in battle… a scenario that would play out for many years to come. And even though Star Sapphire and Green Lantern would duel time and time again, each conflict would find Jordan defeating Ferris’ alter ego and bringing the woman he loved back to normal. At least, that was the case until the Blackest Night event… which left Ferris as the new queen of the Star Sapphire, a Green Lanter-like group. Had strange powers from outer space not interfered, perhaps life would have turned out differently for these once starcrossed lovers…

You would think that Zack Overkill — the last remnant of the great science hero Lazarus, the Returned Man — would have it easy finding a girl. He’s a good looking guy, smart, and has a dangerous side. But no, that is not the case. Especially when he sort of falls for his boss, the beautiful Zoe Zeppelin, who happens to be the daughter of the legendary champion, Professor Zeppelin. Besides convincing him to put his super-villain past behind him, Zoe has begun a physical relationship with Zack that redefines the term “casual.” Could it be that the one-time bad boy wants more from Zoe? Could it be that the science heroine wants her “boy toy” to be more like his heroic antecedent, Lazarus? Who knows — but if this odd couple would only use their super-heroic lineages to bring themselves together instead of tearing each other down, there might just be a real love connection in their future… if Zack can avoid getting killed by the Black Death’s hired goons.

There are plenty of great love/hate relationships in comics still be discovered, we’ve only scratched the surface here. Hopefully, this February 14th will find your Valentine’s Day free of conflicts, villainy, and ninjas… unless you can both agree upon them, then go crazy.
