Hopefully the introduction of Defensor into the proceedings will right the storyline.<br /><br />*Airwolf Airstrikes Vol. 1 TPB--I really like IDW's line of revamped 80s shows as comics, but I do have to take issue with them calling Airwolf the "coolest attack chopper ever made", because clearly the true winner is Blue Thunder. Perhaps a versus crossover could be coming?<br /><br /><br /><br />Image: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/the-beauty-dark-corridor-arrive-phonogram-returns-in-images-august-2015-solicitations<br /><br />*The Tithe Vol. 1 TPB--A first trade for an Image series that doesn't cost $9.99? I'm kind of shocked. The concept of a hacker taking on mega-churches is neat enough to keep me invested.<br /><br />*Invisible Republic Vol. 1 TPB--Colonized moons, space dictators, Gabriel Hardman, ten bucks... it's a shame this didn't come out in July, otherwise it'd be a shoo-in for Indie-Pendence Month.<br /><br /><br />Valiant: http://www.valiantentertainment.com/2015/05/20/valiant-solicitations-for-august-2015-book-of-death-2-book-of-death-the-fall-of-ninjak-1-bloodshot-reborn-5-and-more/<br /><br />*Legends of the Geomancer--This isn't a trade, and that's the reason why I'm bringing it up. Apparently this mini-series is a in-store, non-digital, non-collected release as a retail incentive. I'll still grab it, but it ticks me off a bit that they're leaving collected edition readers in the lurch. Maybe they'll be literal and include it in the hardcover instead of the trades.<br /><br />*X-O Manowar Vol. 9: Dead Hand TPB--The Valiant heroes barely defeated the Armor Hunters and now they have to fight a legion of billions of their death robots. Ain't the universe grand?doug.glassmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018711097234509826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-24022334565425940622015-05-26T08:27:39.316-05:002015-05-26T08:27:39.316-05:00Marvel: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/...Marvel: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/marvel-comic-declares-the-final-war-in-august-2015-solicitations<br /><br />*Deadpool by Duggan and Posehn Vol. 4 HC--This contains the last two trades, so while the price might seem a bit steep, keep in mind that this includes the $10 final issue. I'm passing on these hardcovers in the hope that 2016 will bring a full omnibus of the run.<br /><br />*Star Wars: Princess Leia TPB--Waid, the Dodsons and a shot at seeing a bit of the revamped Star Wars canon with a visit to Sullust? Sold. <br /><br />*A-Force Presents Vol. 1 TPB--This is a really neat idea that was announced a few months back. It's an anthology of the first issues of Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Female Thor, She-Hulk and Squirrel Girl and is targeted at very new readers who don't know where to start at Marvel. Not only is it a sound marketing strategy, but all six of those issues are excellent in their own right.<br /><br />*Amazing Spider-Man Volume 4: Graveyard Shift TPB--I'll be getting around to Spider-Verse soon, so finding out that the Ghost has a major role in the title afterwards might keep me on that trajectory through Secret Wars.<br /><br />*Avengers: Time Runs Out Vol. 1 TPB--In case you're waiting for this to come out.<br /><br />*Alias Vols. 1 and 2 TPBs--Jessica Jones is the next superhero show from Netflix, although I doubt that series will be as explicit as the source material. At least it's easier to recommend which books to read vs. the volume of Daredevil material.<br /><br />*Nextwave Ultimate Collection TPB--Now this is interesting. Out of all the series I've seen bandied about as possible locations for Secret Wars, a world based on Nextwave is one that I think we'll sadly never get... unless there's something planned for later. I doubt this is just being solicited due to Elsa Bloodstone's role in Marvel Zombies.<br /><br /><br />Dark Horse: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/mind-mgmt-ends-buffyangel-crossover-continues-more-in-dark-horse-comics-august-2015-solicitations<br /><br />*The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot Second Edition HC: Now that a new story has been added with the potential for more to come, I'll be springing for this new version. I utterly adored the Big Guy and Rusty cartoon long before I found out that it was a comic book adaptation.<br /><br />*How To Pass As Human HC--Not only is this a guidebook, but it's a guidebook ostensibly written by a robot for other robots, which is weirdly enough a fanfic I tried to write ages ago. This one doesn't feature the Transformers, but it does sound fascinating.<br /><br />*Prometheus: The Complete Fire and Stone HC--There's no indication on the order of contents as all the mini-series are listed alphabetically, but there's hope. I might end up contacting Dark Horse to find out since $50 for a 13-part crossover plus a bunch of extras might be worth the double-buy.<br /><br />*The Fifth Beatle TPB--Perhaps I'll get around to reading this now that it's in paperback form. It'll be interested to see who gets cast as the Beatles in the movie version; it's probably too much to hope for Jack Black, Jason Schwartzman, Paul Rudd and Justin Long to reunite.<br />doug.glassmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018711097234509826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-17549482411210288232015-05-25T19:31:34.604-05:002015-05-25T19:31:34.604-05:00Not necessarily.
