MICHEL FIFFE’S ‘COPRA’ getting COLLECTION in September.
Copra is one of resident Johnny Hotsauce’s favorite comic books. And I’ve made no secret about my desire to get into the jam. Jackknife powerbomb into the middle of the narrative-art orgy that is the title. The only problem? Since the jam is self-published, and I’m really lazy, I haven’t been able to get my paws on the Copra. But that appears to be changing in September. COLLECTION GET.

WTF: MARC MARON starting weekly comic with TONY MOORE
Get it? WTF? Marc Maron? Eh, whatever. So! A weekly Marc Maron comic. Somewhere, under the cloak of work clothes, Rendar Frankenstein is poppin’ an appreciable erection at this news. As Resident Marcaholic, I imagine he will be happy to get his fix of the comedian in all sorts of different mediums. Or maybe I’m fucking wrong.
Brubaker & Phillips are rocking Hollywood Noir with ‘THE FADE OUT.’
Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips are a comic book power couple. Even if I’m not obsessive over all their collaborations, their names alone are enough for me to get intrigued. Maybe even marginally jacked + pumped. Right off the bat. Their latest effort to be revealed is some straight-up Hollywood Noir shit. The Fade Out.
Sam Humphries has signed exclusive Marvel contract
I’m both happy and saddened by this news. Sam Humphries (Our Love Is Real) has gone Marvel-exclusive.
Comixology getting rid of IN-APP PURCHASES on iOS. Lack of Ease++
Comixology is giving Apple the big middle finger, and shifting away from an iOS application that offered purchases within the app. Means sense from a financial standpoint, since Apple apparently takes a 30% cut of all transactions through their walled-in garden. However, goddamn if it isn’t going to make my drunken binge purchases a bit more cumbersome.
Marvel dropping ‘LEGENDARY STAR-LORD’ series in July
Several things happen every time I see the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer. First, I apologize for hitting the person in front of me in the theater with my geek priapism. Second, I coo slowly at Chris Pratt, attempting to draw him out of the screen. Ala Last Action Hero. Third, I lament that I don’t read enough of the comics surrounding this Universe.
So Imma definitely snag this new on-going in an attempt to rectify at least one of those happenings.
Marvel announces “DEATH OF WOLVERINE’ for September. Yawn.
Oh golly! Wolverine is dying in September! Hopefully…metaphorically? Wolverine storylines we need to put in the “Time Out” bin for a decade or so: Wolverine loses his healing factor, Wolverine loses his adamantium, Wolverine befriends underage girl and shows her how to live, Wolverine dies. I mean, didn’t Jason Aaron absolutely fucking dominate a Wolverine Must Die storyline like two years ago? Or so?
Warren Ellis + Tula Lotay teaming up for ‘SUPREME: BLUE ROSE.’ F**k yes, that ‘SUPREME.’
Warren Ellis is well…my dark lord. And master. Tula Lotay is a talent that I’ve been following religiously on the Insta-Gram for a couple of years now. The idea that the two of them are teaming up on something as out-of-right-field and eclectic as a Supreme book? Has me jazzed.
DAMN. AMAZON has bought COMIXOLOGY.
The lumbering, heavy-lunged shamble towards the mono-culture continues on, friends. The latest merger between corporate entities isn’t as terrifying as Comcast and Time Warner. It’s more intriguing. Amazon, who pretty much sells Everything to All Of Us, has bought the number one provider of digital funny books.
