Comic Station Issue #36 – Sept 4th 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: Tons of new releases this week on Comic Station. Reality Check #1 from Image Comics,Batman Black and White #1 and Forever Evil #1 both from DC Comics, God is Dead #1 from Avatar Press,The Star Wars #1 from Dark Horse Comics, (breathe) and X-Men Battle of the Atom #1 from Marvel.

Review: Lido covers us again for Comic Station with Station to Station #1, King Conan: Hour of the Dragon #3, Catalyst Comix #3, and Baltimore: The Infernal Train #1 all from Dark Horse Comics.

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.

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 #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 #1 – January 2nd 2013

For our first Issue of Comic Station we get right into things by setting up the segments: New Releases, Review and Recommendations.

New Releases: We chose three key additions to highlight from the line-up and even give our impressions and insight into a few series.  While not new, there’s also news that Hellboy in Hell #1 sold out, but don’t fret, there will be a reprint at the end of the month for those who missed it. As a preview for next week, we also mention a little bit about Brian Wood, the author of the new Star Wars #1 coming out next week.

Review: Our first review is one many readers might have missed – Alabaster Wolves by Dark Horse Comics. A young woman is tasked with hunting down monsters by her gaurdian angel, but we come into her life at a time when this routine has grown thin. This short five-issue run features some beautiful artwork by Steve Lieber and relate-able characters by Caitlin R. Kiernan. A full review will be coming to the website soon.

Recommendation: Our resident expert and owner of The Comic Station store, Scott Kaitz, kicks off strong with high praise for Batman: Death of the Family. See what he has to say about this New 52 series.

Please leave comments or suggestions as I look to continue improving this new series.

Batman Dark Knight Rises

Went with a few friends who really got into the Batman mood.

Went to see Batman: Dark Night Rises last night as part of their midnight release. It was fantastic, really great story and plot. There was plenty of action, and the moments that didn't have action were filled with great plot devices and conversation. The approximately 3hours to see the movie flew right by before I noticed. I'd recommend this film to anyone who enjoyed the previous Batman movies, comic book fans, and action fans. I would recommend parents exercise their judgment in bringing children to see this.
