Diamond Previews

Every month, comic book shops all over the world receive a preview book from their major distributor. This book is called Previews and lists all the comics that will begin shipping in 2 months. Previews ships as 2 different books. One is a main Previews book with all the comic book publishers, but Marvel. The other is the Marvel Previews book containing all the upcoming comics from Marvel Comics. We're taking time to highlight the high fantasy and sword and sorcery comics in the latest issue of Previews.

 

So that you can located them easily in this month's Previews books, we will note the comic books by the Previews book (Main or Marvel), page number, title and volume or issue number.

 

 

There's a Thor movie approaching, so expect to see lots of Thor merchandise coming from Marvel Comics. We only include Thor comics that feature more mythology than superheroics, so this fits the bill.

Page 65: Thor: For Asgard (#4 of 6)

Page 97: Thor: Godstorm HC

This is a collection of a mini series wirtten by Kurt Busiek with art by Steve Rude. You can't go too wrong with Rude and Busiek,

 

 

  

Dark Horse has most of the male Robert E. Howard licenses like Kull, Canan and Solomon Kane.

If Dark Horse solicited this series with only the Tom Flemings cover, we would have passed on this series completely as that cover is just not very pleasing. Luckily, the interior artist (Gabriel Guzman) is a stronger artist.

This TPB collects the adaptations of the first 2 Elric stories (Elric of Melniborne and the Sailor on the Seas of Fate) with art by P Craig Russell.

IDW Publishing

Page 138: Dungeons and Dragons #1

The solicitation mentions Incentive module editions of this comic that allows you to role play the adventure from the comic book. That's a rather innovative way to get the D&D players to cross over and buy the comics.

Page 175: The Mice Templar Stechbook II

The tome includes issues 0-9 of the Battlechasers series by Joe Maderiera, but it does not feature a finished story. You can probably find the single set of all 10 issues (0-9), so well less than $100

Page 190: Skull Kickers #3

 

 

 

Just another old-fashioned WWII zombie anthology of 13 stories by an army of small press creators including Warmageddon's own Mike Imboden and Dominic Vivona. This anthology was aided and abbeded by Jorge Vega and Jeff McComsey.

Why J Scott Campbell drawing Deja Thoris with a navel? All Martians hatch from eggs and thus have no umbilical cords to form a navel.

The solicitation text reads as if, this is yet another drunken tavern brawl comic.

Page 267: Avatar of the Futurians #4 (of 4) (David Miller Studios)

We're almost certain this series isn't sword and sorcery, but the cover by Steve Conley and the solicitation text suggest that we will see a battle with Morgana La Fay

 Baltimore Comicon was this past weekend in Maryland and while Warmageddon did not have a booth, Warmageddon creators (both past, present, and future) were available. Writer, Mike "Fist of Justice" Imboden was present at the table next to artist, Ken "the Living Corpse" Haesar (Cease and Desist). On occasion, L Jamal Walton was present behind their tables causing trouble and otherwise being a menace. Two rows over, the FUBAR booth held East of Warmageddon artist, Dominic Vivona, and his High Noon cohort, Jeff McComsey. Jeff will be supplying the art on a future Mik'l story. Even upcoming Conan artist, Mike Hawthorne, who provided art for 2 Warmageddon Quarterly frontispieces was seen lurking about Baltimore after the con.

 

With so many Warmageddon creators in attendance, we hope that everyone was able to get every Warmageddon item that they craved. If not, they are always available 24 hours a day, 365.25 days a week at BullCityComics.com.

In a small schedule update, Life with Thomas, will be updating on the 15th of every month and not the 1st of the month. Here's a sneak peak of the strip that will appear on Wednesday, Sept 15, 2010.

 

 

In rebuilding the Warmageddon empire, Alexander Landa has provided Jamal with his original scan of his Eirian and Orumil art. Jamal took the liberties to fix most of the problems from his first attempt to ink and color this art as he revisits it. See is you can note the differences between this and the previous piece as Jamal works through the inks.
