Next year will mark the fifth anniversary of when readers were first introduced to the monsters (and monster slayers) of Archer's Peak in Something is Killing the Children, and just before the end of this year, James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera, are inviting readers to step back into the Slaughterverse with Book of Butcher #1. Building upon the events of last year's Book of Slaughter #1 and following Maxine Slaughter on her journey to New Orleans to investigate House Boucher, Book of Butcher #1 will be released on December 27th from Boom! Studios, and we've been provided with an exclusive look at artwork from the anticipated issue!

Wolverine #10 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artist: Adam Kubert | Colourist: Frank Martin | Letters: Cory Petit
Immediately this issue gets bonus points for picking up right where we left things in #9. Not even a fraction of a jump forward. The art helps sell this in a big way. The first page is a 16 panel grid. Of those 16 pages 6 are negative space. The rest of the panels put the pieces of the story together one by one. A close up of Maverick, a close up of Wolverine, a close up of guns pointing at them and the goons doing the pointing. The final five panels pull back to reveal the full extent of the situation our heroes are in. The second page follows much the same formula, ramping up the tension of the Mexican standoff. Before Boom! pages 3 and 4 are a double age spread of the ensuing action. I love the spattering of smaller panels picking out finer details.

It’s somehow almost 2021, which means the DC Universe is about to enter its Future State, the big two month crossover that kicks off the new year by pausing its regular line, and diving deep into the wild, varied timelines and parallel universes for new angles from fresh creators. And we are happy to have your exclusive first look at the February covers and solicitations for the Justice League family of books.
Since half the fun of solicits is trying to piece together what’s happening in the book from the 50 words and a cover, we decided to engage in some wild, semi-informed speculation on what might be coming from DC’s event.
Let’s get right to it: Future State has a very strong Seven Soldiers of Victory vibe.
The original Seven Soldiers were briefly a superteam from the ’40s, brought back sporadically whenever a comic needed a nostalgia boost,...

Black, the comic sensation that depicts a world where only Black people have superpowers, that started as a thoroughly supported Kickstarter and grew into a franchise, just took another step closer to jumping mediums. Studio 8, the entertainment company developing the film version of the comic, announced that Black has been picked up by Warner Bros.
The critically acclaimed comic was created by Kwanza Osajyefo and Tim Smith 3, with interior art from Jamal Igle, and striking, iconic covers from Khary Randolph, and edited by Sarah Litt. And in a fun surprise, the movie script was written by Bryan Edward Hill, an executive producer on HBO Max’s Titans and writer of his own critically acclaimed comic, American Carnage.
Black tells the story of Kareem Jenkins, a teenager shot dead by police who wakes up in the back of an ambulance to discover he has super powers. He spends the rest...

Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to develop a film adaptation of “Black,” an adaptation of the Black Mask comic series that’s set in a universe in which only Black people can develop superpowers, production company Studio 8 announced Thursday.
The film adaptation of “Black” has a script from DC’s “Titans” producer Bryan Edward Hill, and the project is currently looking for a director.
“Black” was created by Kwanza Osajyefo and Tim Smith 3 and explores a shift in humanity where only Black people develop abilities beyond what the world believes to be possible. When one young man survives a violent event and realizes he has powers, he’s soon pursued by a secret consortium that wants to control the abilities, leading to a fight for mankind itself.

I’m not entirely sure why, but DC have always been far better than Marvel with anthology books. Possibly because of their extended history, that they just have that much more material than Marvel had, and could make extra money by packaging old, sorry ‘classic’, reprints with the odd new story or framing sequences. The recent run of DC anniversary issues have also seen them put out some rather good 100 page anthologies, but now with all new material, though with very definite nods towards source material of the past. Which brings us to this ‘Guidebook’. Odd title in a way, as it’s appeared too far down the line into the event to be a guide for anything, but it’s certainly a good opportunity to fill in gaps in the main book, and to give short, sweet glimpses at some of the peripheral characters.

Although most of WarnerMedia's film productions are in current lockdown, the company's DC Comics continues to publish new comic book titles for August 2020, filled with fresh stories and compelling imagery:
"Dceased: Dead Planet" #2 is written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Trevor Hairsine, Gigi Baldassini with covers by Francesco Mattina and Ben Olivier:
"...the 'Justice League' is trapped on Earth, and they've discovered that life still survives on this dead planet! Survival is precarious, though and with billions of infected still roaming the surface, death lies around every corner. But it isn't just the anti-living our heroes have to worry about, because 'John 'Constantine', 'Swamp Thing' and 'Zatanna' are about to discover another thing growing..."

We knew Dark Nights: Death Metal, the big DC megaevent from Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion and Fco Plascencia, was reworked when it got delayed. DC just announced how much it was reworked.
The main series has been expanded from six to seven issues, with a skip month planned for September. However, to help fill us up for that break, we get two supplemental comics: Dark Nights: Death Metal Guidebook #1 on August 11th, and Dark Nights: Death Metal Legends of the Dark Knights #1 on August 25th.
Death Metal is the follow up to Dark Nights: Metal, the series that introduced the Dark Multiverse and its evil coterie of Batmen (including the Batman Who Laughs) to the Dcu; to Snyder’s Justice League, which brought dark goddess Perpetua in from her prison in the Source Wall, to tear down the existing multiverse and replace it with something more pliable; and to Hell Arisen,...

We've read a Ton of great comics in the last 10 years, and we picked out the 100 best for you to passionately disagree with.
What a century this last decade has been.
Seriously, the pace of change over the last 10 years has been steadily rising, and has been somewhere between “dangerous” and “murderous” for the last 3, and that isn’t just about geopolitics: the comics world of today is certainly recognizable to a time traveller from 2010, but it would look extremely weird.
- Webcomics and medium press publishers are Everywhere now.
- Marvel has embraced multiple restarts of its line.
- DC has rebooted its universe at least twice.
- Comics are for kids again.
- Nerds rule culture, for all that’s good and bad.
These changes have been catalysts for some very, very good comic books, and we wanted to give you a list of some of our favorites.

With one of Marvel’s first big story arcs to be rolled out next year, Iron Man 2020, still being months away from kicking off, you’d naturally think we’d run out of things to talk about. But instead, it’s proven to be the latest exciting theme for the House of Ideas to run with for a wave of variant covers.
Just yesterday, we showed you some kick-ass redesigns for some of the publisher’s most popular icons, and the fun hasn’t stopped there. After feasting our eyes on some truly sweet looking alternate takes on Spider-Man, Elektra, Black Cat and Doctor Doom, yet another batch has been thrown our way.
Like those presented before, you can expect to find these variants on shelves beginning in December. I think I’m most partial to the Miles Morales and Venom reimaginings in this particular gallery, though you may identify other favorites of your own.

The follow up to the critically acclaimed comic Black is on Kickstarter now.
It's not terribly surprising given how critically and financially successful the original was and the spinoffs announced not long after, but we are finally getting our direct sequel to Black, one of the best comics of 2017. Kwanza Osajyefo, Tim Smith 3, Jamal Igle, Khary Randolph and the team behind that book are back with a new Kickstarter for White.
“How does a nation struggling with a history of racial inequality cope in a world where only black people have superpowers?” said Osajyefo. “Our story asks: In a time of supposed inclusion and diversity, how far will those in charge push back to retain the status quo?”
The original book brought readers into a superhero world where only black people had powers, and used the superhero metaphor to examine social issues while telling a banger of a cape story.

Exclusive: Marvel/Disney paved the way with Black Panther and Studio 8 is taking it further in a move created to inspire conversation and deconstruct the superhero genre. Seith Mann has been hired by Studio 8 to adapt the comic series Black which explores the idea if what only black people had superpowers? The company plans to franchise the IP and also develop the follow up comic Black [Af]: America’s Sweetheart which has a female lead.
The series comes from co-creator/writer Kwanza Osajyefo, co-creator/designer Tim Smith 3, artist Jamal Igle and cover artist Khary Randolph. Mann, who co-created The Breaks and directed the pilot for Vh-1, has also directed episodes of The Wire, Homeland, Friday Night Lights and The Walking Dead.
