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 #11 – March 13th 2013

This issue of Comic Station brings some great New Releases as and a special St. Patrick’s Day Review.

New Releases: Two new Wolverine comics from Marvel Comics on this Comic Station make me a very happy reader!Ultimate Wolverine #1 and Wolverine #1 take two very different routes. Aliens vs. Parker #1 from BOOM! Publishers makes a surprising splash as with witty humor. We also return to a few favorites, Katana #2 and Star Wars #3, to see how they’ve been progressing since they were last on Comic Station.

Review: For a special St. Patrick’s Day review, we take a look at Zenescope’s Grimm Fairy Tale: St. Patrick’s Day Oneshot Special. All about the immorality of Greed and the curse of a leprechaun.

Recommendation: Scott shows off Dead Man’s Party, a photo-realistic black-and-white comic that looks fantastic. We look forward to seeing the writers of this comic on a future Comic Station Oneshot Interview.

Comic Station Issue #8 - February 20th 2013

This issue of Comic Station brings some great New Releases as well as our first day-one comic book review.

New Releases: The new Justice League of America #1 from DC Comics hit the shelves, along with all 52 variant covers featuring the States, Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. Marvel Now! has a new entry: Nova #1, which introduces The Guardians of the Galaxy to the newer Comic Station generation. IDW Comics has a new vampire comic aimed more for the teen generation, with Vitriol #1 hunting the undead. I also couldn’t help but give a shout-out to two more great comics out today, Savage Wolverine #2 and Wolverine Maxx #4.

Review: We had three shorter reviews this time, trying to offer more on this Comic Station Issue #8. DC Comic’s newKatana #1 introduces a old yet new character to The New 52. Image Comics seems to have another winner on their hands with Snapshot #1, and Dark Horse Comics rounds out the reviews with their much acclaimed Star Wars series with Star Wars #2.

Recommendation: Scott recommends my personal favorite Marvel Now! – and possibly all of Marvel – comics: Thor God of Thunder.

Comic Station Issue #2 – January 9th 2013

This issue of Comic Station brings some great New Releases as well as our first day-one comic book review.

New Releases: After the controversial Spider-Man #700 the first issue of Superior Spider-Man hits the shelves and this issue of Comic Station. Along with the new Spidey, Green Lantern New Guardians Annual and Images’ Repossessed make our highlight section. With over eighty new issues out today, we couldn't end there, so we gave a P.S. to a few more: the fourth and final issue of the Marvel Universe vs. The Avengers, Dresden Files by Dynamite and The Devil is due in Dreary by Ardden publishers.

Review: After announcing the release date on the last Comic Station, we reviewed Star Wars #1 for today’s big release. A great entry into the Expanded Universe of Star War, this issue takes place after Episode IV of the movies. This makes it highly accessible to new readers who might not be familiar with the expanded mythos of the universe. Probably stealing the show, Leia really shows a great sense of character and resolve in this issue. A worthy starting issue and we look forward to see how the series progresses.

Recommendation: Scott’s love for the Batman series continues as he highlights the Batman Detective Comics series by DC Comics in this episode of Comic Station. Why does this deserve to follow last week’s Batman Death of the Family? See for yourself.

Thank you and please leave comments here or on YouTube as we continue to evolve our coverage. Don’t forget to see our Issue #1 of Comic Station. For a listing of more New Releases we couldn't get to, a list can be found below the video.

Star Wars #1 Review (Comic)

The universe of Star Wars is vast and densely populated. We’re not talking about the space, worlds and empires kind of universe, but the Expanded Universe of movies, books and comics. Since first premiering Star Wars has been a beloved creation and many have added their tales to expound and flesh out the life of this work. While many begin their journey with the movies some people find their way to the bookshelves looking for more.

With a seemingly endless sea of these expanded universe books and comics that exist it’s hard to pick out the ones to read. Dark Horse Comics now brings another comic from Brian Wood, the author of The Massive, Conan the Barbarian and MARA. This new Star Wars #1 brings something that many of the countless other series lacked: the same classic characters and story-line as the movies.
