Comic Station Issue #26 – June 26th 2013

We at Comic Station try to highlight new releases and other series many might otherwise overlook. We typically don’t report on long-standing series unless revolutionary. We add a little something extra in our Reviews and Recommendation section.

New Releases: It was a no-brainer kicking of Comic Station Issue #26 with Batman/Superman #1 from DC Comics. Image Comics continues their number one releases with Lazarus #1. Uncanny #1 from Dynamite Comics takes a hustler, mystery and adds a supernatural twist.

Review: From our Man of Steel movie recap, Lido Giovacchini writes his first review for Comic Station with his review of Hoax Hunters: Case Files #1. A quirky group of supernatural hunters in strange and hilarious circumstances.

Recommendation: Scott recommends King Conan from Dark Horse Comics on this issue of Comic Station.

Comic Station Issue #25 – June 19th 2013

We at Comic Station try to highlight new releases and other series many might otherwise overlook. We typically don’t report on long-standing series unless revolutionary. We add a little something extra in our Reviews and Recommendation section.

New Releases: Small publishers are the theme this Comic Station. Starting with Dark Horse Comic’s Captain Midnight #0 returning from the WWII era via the bermuda triangle. From the writer of World War Z, The Extinction Parade #1 by Max Brooks from Avatar Press. Finally, Liberator #1 from Black Mask Comics brings protestors and vigilantes together.

Review: The review this week on Comic Station is one that won’t come out till September. Super! #1 from the independent publisher Unlikely Heroes Studios creates a vibrant world of colorful characters. They might start as near-parodies, but they soon stand on their own. A blast to read, and highly recommended.

Recommendation: Scott doesn’t recommend a single comic this week. Rather we a Comic Station recommend reading a few select Superman books before going to see Man of Steel.

Comic Station Issue #24 – June 12th 2013

We at Comic Station try to highlight new releases and other series many might otherwise overlook. We typically don’t report on long-standing series unless revolutionary. We add a little something extra in our Reviews and Recommendation section.

New Releases: Of the New Releases this week, we cover The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #1 from Dark Horse Comics. Of course, with Man of Steel out, we had to cover Superman Unchained #1 from DC Comics. The final new release we covered this week on Comic Station was Bubble Gun #1 from Aspen Comics, a 10-for-10 title for only $1.

Review: Rather than a review this week on Comic Station, we highlight the remainder of our Philadelphia Comic Con 2013 coverage. Two interviews posted on Tuesday, one with Pat Shand from Zenescope and another with Kim Hutchinson, owner of Big Dog Ink. Finally, our interview with Hollaback Philly posts Wednesday at noon.

Recommendation: There’s no recommendation this week on Comic Station as Scott left us to go to see Man of Steel.

Comic Station Issue #23 – June 5th 2013

We at Comic Station try to highlight new releases and other series many might otherwise overlook. We typically don’t report on long-standing series unless revolutionary.

Review: Comic Station is glad to highlight a review from our newest contributor, Corey Atwood, as he brings us his review of The Art of Remember Me. A futuristic cyberpunk Paris where memories can be bought and altered.

Screwed #1: Interview at Philadelphia Comic Con

In addition to the major Unleashed event Zenescope has been introducing a number of new titles to their already numerous and popular publishing catalog. One of these new titles reimagines the classic Frankenstein tale in the way only Zenescope could do it. For this title, Screwed, they’ve brought together a talented cast with Keith Thomas, David Miller and the well-known Tyler Kirkham.

Anne awakes to find herself in a strange and dangerous place seemingly teeming with grotesque creatures. She knows she must run and fight, but what she doesn’t know might define her more. She’s a monster herself, a modern day Frankenstein monster. Tyler Kirkham describes Screwed as having, “…horror, action and some flat-out sick, twisted moments!” and goes on to say, “I always thought Zenescope would be a great fit for the story as it has a strong lead female role. I’m extremely excited for this series.” There’s plenty of mystery to be found, from who made her, why and why does she see monsters everywhere?

While at the Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con I met with this creative team to discuss Screwed and the ideas behind their own creation brought to life.

More from Zenescope and Screwed will be coming soon on our weekly Comic Station issues

No Tomorrow: Exclusive First Interview at Phila. Comic Con

Zenescope, well known for their Grimm Fairy Tales series, has created a vast universe of characters and creatures. Being from Horsham PA I met up with them while at Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con 2013. I had the chance to talk to them about a number of their titles and few interviews that will be coming soon. As a special opportunity I was offered the chance to conduct an interview about an upcoming comic book title that hasn't even been announced yet,No Tomorrow.

Raven Gregory has written for the titles: Grimm Fairy Tales, Dream Eater, Fly, various Wonderland tie-ins and more. As writer of No Tomorrow, Raven gives us some insight into what to expect from this new title coming out later this summer. Pat Shand also joined us for moral support with No Tommorrow.

Keep an eye out for more information on No Tomorrow from Zenescope to come soon

Philadelphia Comic Con Cosplay Gallery

Conventions such as Wizard World’s Philadelphia Comic Con attract fans of various media, genres, age groups and degrees of fervor. For the select few, they show their love by dressing up as their favorite characters, or even a parody of them. Despite being a comic convention, as the mediums have mashed together so have the cosplays (Costume + Play = Cosplay). This fandom spans not only genres, but age groups as well, with many great examples of families going out in themed groups. Even a few attendees of Philadelphia Comic Con broke the species barrier, with their canine companions getting into the dress up action.

While we all know this and love to hear about how cosplay has garnered more respect in the recent years, no longer relegated to a dirty word, so I’ll let them do what they do best: Be seen. Let us know which costumes you think are this years Best of Philadelphia Comic Con 2013!
