Special: No Recommendation this week on Comic Station because we are trying something new [insert gasp here]. We’ve added a special scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen in the Reviews section that recounts Twitter-size reviews of comics we couldn’t write full reviews for from the previous week’s release. Let us know if you like this change to Comic Station or if it’s too much info at once.

Comic Station Issue #34 – Aug 21st 2013


Comic Station Feature #34
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: Realm Knights #1 from Zenescope starts off this issue of Comic Station by pulling characters from across the Nexus to form a team of heroes to fight threats greater than they could handle alone. Valiant releases Bloodshot #0 to fill in some of the background on their “perfect soldier”. Penny for your Soul: Death #1 from Big Dog Ink continues the tale of the Devils grand-daughter and the balance between Heaven, Hell, and herself. Batman Beyond Universe #1 creates a good jumping on point for new readers, but with plenty of differences since the cartoon trailed behind the comic series.
Review: Lots of reviews this week on Comic Station. Tom Strong and the Planet of Peril #1 from Vertigo Comics. Infinity #1 from Marvel Comics. Watson and Holmes #2 from New Paradigm Studios. Last but not least, Will Eisner’s Fagin the Jew from Dark Horse Comics.
Recommendation: We’ve looked at individual issues on previous Comic Station videos, but Scott recommends the whole Trinity Wars saga from DC Comics.

Comic Station Issue #32 – Aug 7th 2013

Comic Station #32 Feature
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 Review section.
New Releases: Trillium #1 from Vertigo kicks off this episode of Comic Station with an interesting gimmick. Buck Rogers #1 from Hermes Press renews a classic title. Dynamite also reboots a series, Lady Rawhide #1 which reminds us of a female Zorro in great artwork. Boom! starts a new line in the Robocop franchise with Robocop: Last Stand #1.
Review: We have a number of titles to review this week on Comic Station. Ghost: In the Smoke and Din and Tarzan: The Sunday Comics, both from Dark Horse, try their best with mild success. Black Bolt: Something Inhuman This Way Comes from Marvel repackages classic stories to bring the Inhumans back to public knowledge. Sidekick #1from Image tells the tale of a broken superhero sidekick who lost his partner and possibly his sanity.

Comic Station Issue #31 – July 31st 2013

Comic Station #31 Feature
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: This week on Comic Station starts off with a sequel to the soon-to-be-a-movie 2Guns with 3Guns #1from Boom Studios. The first issue of Captain Midnight #1 from Dark Horse Comics might be a better Captain America than the big-name guy’s current run. Collider #1 from Vertigo turns the world upside-down in this new physics-don’t-apply series. Skyward #1 from Action Lab Comics might look like a kids book, but it’s Young Adult and a great start to a new series from a small publisher. Admittedly a good surprise on this issue of Comic Station, Tom Strong and the Planet of Peril #1 from Vertigo is a humorous return to campy comics of old done right with great foreshadowing of things to come.
Reviews: Lido covers both reviews from Dark Horse this week for Comic Station. Gamma #1 is a “pokemon on LSD” while Lobster Johnson #1 will appeal to any pulp noir fans.

Comic Station #30 Feature
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: We have what is probably our biggest publisher New Releases to Comic Station. The Hunger #1from Marvel kicks off with Galactus entering the Ultimate Universe. Superior Spider-man Team-Up #1 has Octavius meeting, and beating, many great heroes and villains alike. The only small publisher on this issue of Comic Station,The All New Fathom #1 from Aspen Comics is a good start for those looking to get into the Fathom series. We end with Hawkeye Annual from Marvel.
Review: Batman ’66 #1 from DC Comics and Superior Carnage #1 from Marvel are the two large publishers reviewed this week on Comic Station. Invincible #104 from Image Comics continue it’s run, while Watson and Holmes #1 from New Paradigm Studios takes old characters and reimagines them in modern New York.  Finally, Mass Effect: Foundation #1 from Dark Horse Comics contains a great twist that is great for fans and new readers.
Extra: There will be a separate Comic Station article and video going over the highlights of the San Diego Comic Convention soon.

Comic Station Issue #26 – June 26th 2013

Comic Station Issue #26 Feature
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 #1Uncanny #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

Comic Station Feature #25
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

Comic Station #24 Feature
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

Comic Station Issue #23 Feature Image
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. After a very eventful weekend at the Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Convention we have plenty of featured articles coming out over the next few days to announce.
New Releases: Vertigo reintroduces an old classic, Astro City #1, this week on Comic Station. Two comic books with movies have new issues, with Kick Ass 3 #1 and Daredevil: Dark Nights #1 both coming out today. Zenescope has a new addition to their lineup, though not tied into the Grimm Fairy Tales world, with Screwed #1 out today.
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.
Recommendation: Scott recommends a hands-down favorite of Comic Station with Red Son by Mark Millar.
Philadelphia Comic Con News: We have a Cosplay Photo Gallery, Exclusive First Interview with Zenescope’s unannounced No Tomorrowand much more.

Screwed #1: Interview at Philadelphia Comic Con

Screwed Interview Feature
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

Comic Station Issue #22 – May 29th 2013

Comic Station Feature
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. Due to Memorial Day the shipment of comics has been delayed and Scott can’t join us, so Paul will be alone again on this issue of Comic Station.
New Releases: With the lack of material, we make due with the New Releases from Image Comics and Zenescope we have access to on Comic Station. First, a follow-up on Image Comics’ Five Weapons #4 by Jimmie Robinson, a current favorite in Paul’s pull-list. As part of our continued interest in Zenescope’s Grimm Fairy Tales run on Comic Station, we look at Wonderland: Down the Rabbit Hole #1 and Realm Knights (One-shot). From Dark Horse Comics, we follow up on The Last of Us #2 and fully expect this one to sell out too.
Review: We have the first review for Rob Mellesh on this issue of Comic Station as a full-fledged member of Front Towards Gamer. Rob reviewed Witch Doctor: Mal Practice #5 so well we want to go back and read this series. Love his quote, “This is how serialized fiction is meant to be done. Brandon Seifert’s script and Lukas Ketner’s art do it in macabre style.”

Comic Station Issue #21 – May 22nd 2013


Comic Station 21 Feature
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 continue our coverage of Zenescope’s Unleashed event and there’s a special interview announcement at the end.
New Releases: On this week’s Comic Station we look on as DC Comics brings out their opposite to The Movement with a bunch of young Tony Stark wannabees in The Green Team #1. A new kind of superhero enters in The Bounce #!than Image Comics. The classic Snow White story gets a remake and Steampunk venere in Antarctic Press’s Steampunk Snow White One-Shot. We end this issue of Comic Station with Grimm Fairy Tales’ Werewolves: The Hunger #1 from Zenescope.
Review: We continue our coverage of Zenescope's’ Unleashed event with a review of Hunters: The Shadowlands #1in this issue of Comic Station.
Recommendation: Scott highlights a hero who hasn’t always received the admiration he could have with DC Comics’ New 52 Aquaman series.

Comic Station Issue #18 – May 1st 2013



Comic Station Feature
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.
New Releases: This week on Comic Station the biggest publisher might not be the best. The Movement #1 from DC Comics features kids who use technology and super powers to enforce their territory. From Image Comics, Ten Grand #1 features a mob enforcer on a path of redemption and the chance to spend just five more minutes with his deceased girlfriend. As my favorite of this weeks Comic Station, Suicide Risk #1 from Boom Publishers follows a regular cop – maybe – who fights against supervillains in a world where heroes are scarce and powers can be bought for the right price.
Review: The Victories: Transhuman #1 from Dark Horse Comics takes the Comic Station to a realm of deeper meanings than most comics have now-a-days. From world-encompassing themes of humanity to personal struggles with self-image. Not for young readers, both due to the high level of issues delved into, but the vulgar language and occasional use of nudity. A thinking man's comic and one that takes a direction rarely seen.
Recommendation: Scott recommends Batman: The Killing Joke on this issue of Comic Station. An oldie, but an amazing read and still an essential part of the Batman mythos.
Thank you and please leave comments here or on YouTube as we continue to evolve our coverage. For a listing of more New Releases we couldn't get to, a list can be found below the video.

Comic Station Issue #17 – April 24th 2013


Comic Station #17 Feature
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: For the New Releases this week we look at Jupiter’s Legacy #1 from Image on this Comic Station. After that, we look at Amala’s Blade #1 from Dark Horse Comics, a followup from our review of Amala’s Blade #0 on a previous Comic Station. We also take a look at Helheim #2 as it continues the Viking Epic from the first issue. Of course, we even take a look at East of West #2 from Image Comics, though it lacks the action of the first issue, the plot thickens on this gripping tale.
Review: On this week of Comic Station we have a double-whammy. As part of Zenescope’s new world-altering Unleashed Event, the latest issues, Unleashed #1 and Vampires #1 get the ball rolling in grand style. In Unleashed #1the dangerous new enemy, The Being, has released the classical monsters from their jail cell called the Shadowlands. Of the creatures, werewolves, demons and vampires are among them. As the queen of the vampires, Samira gets her own crossover title in Vampires #1. We at Comic Station are excited for this Unleashed Event, as it gives an epic new story and a great starting point for readers to get into the Grimm Fairy Tales universe.
Recommendation: Scott recommends one of our favorites with Superman Earth One Volume One and Two. It’s perfect timing with the upcoming Superman movie, and look forward to more Superman on future Comic Stations.

Comic Station Issue #16 – April 17th 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. Stay tuned to the ending where we announce something very special!
New Releases: For the new releases this week we highlight a few number ones but first, we take a look at Bloodshot #10 from Valiant. Bloodshot #10 is part of the Harbinger Wars series arc that spans the Valiant catalog. IDW makes a new entry in their Danger Girl series with Danger Girl Trinity #1 where the female spies start of Indiana Jones and ends closer to a swimsuit catalog. Aspen draws a beautiful cartoonish artwork that juxtaposes the violent nature ofJirni #1, a tale of warriors and Genies with a lead as beautiful as she is deadly. The latest entry in the Star Wars extended universe with Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin #1.
Review: Comic Station features our review on Super Street Fighter Volume 1: New Generation, a huge 144 page full-colored collection of various chapters. Great artwork and a surprisingly intriguing plot make up this perfect example of what can only be described as fan service done right.
Recommendation: Scott highlights Evil Ernie series for this Comic Station – a gory good time.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We are giving away special Marvel Heroes Beta Codes after our Comic Station Interview with their community manager on Comic Station. Plenty to go around, so tell your friends and enter here:Marvel Heroes MMO Beta Code Giveaway.

Comic Station Issue #15 – April 10th 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: There’s lots of new issues this week on Comic Station. Invincible by Image Comics continues in the new series, Invincible Universe #1. X #0 introduces a dark, gritty, violent and gory vigilante on his terrified mobsmen targets. Batman gets a reboot, in cartoon child-like form in DC Comic’s Batman: Li’l Gotham. Aliens, country southerners and zombies collide in IDW’s The Colonized: Zombies vs Aliens.
Though not a new release, we also highlight our enjoyment for Star Wars #4 by Dark Horse Comics. We also bring some industry news as Saga #12 from Image Comics has been blocked from the Apple store due to sexual images of a certain nature.
Review: We highlight The Last of Us: American Dreams #1 for this week’s Comic Station Review. A four-issue series that gives a great insight into Ellie, the young girl from the upcoming Playstation video game of the same title. If you want more than what we talk about on Comic Station, check out the full The Last of Us: American Dreams #1 Review.
Recommendation: Scott highlights a series that might sound familiar to anyone who knows of The Hunger Games, Avengers Arena from Marvel pits children Avenger members against each other on an island in this Comic Station issue.

Comic Station Issue #14 - April 3rd 2013


This issue of Comic Station continues to bring you the latest in New Releases and Review highlights to stay up-to-date with the comic book world.
New Releases: On this issue of Comic Station we find a few old hats returning to the scene. Dynamite Publishers resurrect an old favorite, as Miss Fury #1 makes her return as the debutant anti-hero thief who is either time traveling or is having a sever mental breakdown. Either way, she looks great doing it. The villian powerful enough to pull Loki's strings in the Avengers movie, and the rumored villain of the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie, Thanos gets his own backstory series in Thanos Rising #1. Finally, a personal favorite, '68 Jungle Jim takes you back to Vietnam War but the guys with guns aren't the only problem as zombies have risen to be as much of a threat.
Review: As we gushed on the last issue of Comic Station, it's probably no surprise that we go over the East of West #1 review briefly. Our main Review feature this week though is 215Ink's Broken #1 written by our friend David Goodman (@PhillyGuyDave) from Geekadelphia. He called Broken "... a near perfect comic book [that] gets my highest recommendation." Can't get much better than that. You can find his Comic Roundup segment on Geekadelphia which features brief reviews of local Philadelphia, PA published titles.
Recommendation: Scott takes us to dimension in Earth 2 as he recaps some of this series' highlights

Comic Station Issue #13 - March 27th 2013


This issue of Comic Station brings a lot of great New Releases, with one outshining the rest as our hands-down must-buy recommendation.

New Releases: The biggest KNOWN issue coming out today on Comic Station is Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy #1. We reviewed Guardians of the Galaxy #0.1 on Comic Station Issue #10, and are glad to report this first true book continues the good work setup in the precursor. A favorite of ours, Injustice: Gods Among Us #3 proves yet again that this series is probably one of the best Superhero books currently available – right up against the big names. Vertigo released an anthology, with nine mini-issues called Timewarp that features some great art and big names like Gail Simone. The real surprise came in the form of Image Comic’s new series, East of West #1. We at Comic Station can’t say enough good things about this book. If you haven’t read this, go get it now before your store sells out – and they will.
Review: Continuing our love of the merging video games and comics genres we take a look at Dragon Age: Until We Sleep #1 on this issue of Comic Station. Until We Sleep takes place after the events of Dragon Age II and features the return of Allistar. Chaz King, the author of our review, wrote
“If you are interested in the characters or the fiction of the Dragon Age universe, you should give a thought to picking up Dragon Age: Until We Sleep, if only to keep an eye on Varric.”
Recommendation: We at Comic Station loved East of West so much that Scott wanted to go into a more detail of why we recommend it hands-down as a must-buy.
