Woo hoo, long weekend! Remember kids, Easter isn’t just about generous magical bunnies with a penchant for chocolate shaped fertility symbols, it’s also about comics.
Let’s see what we have in store for you this week to help you through these eggciting times:
From Marvel, we see the first ever five episodes of Stan Lee’s Daredevil (1964). Discover how Matt Murdock received his powers and became “The Man Without Fear!”
Heavy metal fans rejoice, IDW release Eternal Decent #1. “A radical new title brought to you by the industry leaders in heavy rock and metal: ESP guitars and Marshall Amplification” A rather unique comic featuring a guitar wielding protagonist, plenty of demons and one gorgeous succubus. The comic comes with an eccentric audio commentary and accompanying music by the writer Llexi Leon.
We also see Runes of Ragnan, an epic fantasy spanning 1000 years of Viking lore. Josh Medors’ art is stunning, brutal and dark. Check it out.
Trekies will be pleased with the graphical adaption of JJ Abrams’ blockbuster Star Trek. Star Trek: The Movie Adaptation #1 comes with new scenes and moments cut from the movie

When are you going to comment about the ramifications of the firmware 3.2.1 release that Sony uses to illegally remove from my console functionality that I have paid for?
Posted on 1 April, 2010 at 2:20 pm by Pete Stott

How should they know? They deal with the Store, not firmware.
Not much here for me this week, Locke and Key obviously, and probably We Kill Monsters…
Posted on 1 April, 2010 at 2:38 pm by Pete Stott
Thanks Zoibie! Did you listen to the Locke & Key commentary from last week? I thought it was really interesting. It made me appreciate all the work that goes in to creating the comic.

Yeah I did, didn’t know it would take so much work just to make one of those ‘ghost’ panels. They should get Ben Templesmith on it as well, just for the lols. (Reminds me, haven’t listened to Groom Lake commentary yet)
Actually, just noticed something, would be good to add in a feature which pauses any song you have playing until the audio commentary stops. Just a thought.

I’ll stick it on the list. It’s too late for the next version of the app which we are debugging at the moment. I’ll hopefully have some news on a release date soon!

Looks like a very interesting looking store update! Really good to see the diversity of titles that IDW are offering, and now from Markosia as well.
Good to hear that the new firmware update is coming along nicely. As always, thanks for the great work

Cheers Ravenblade86.
Yep, plenty of variety at the moment. Superhero, fantasy, fiction… and we may even have some Manga next week.

Hi Pete
Good to see that this service is flourishing, with loads on offer.
Just wondering if we’re ever going to see the third episode in the Warriors, it has been a while
Thank you, and have a great Easter.
Posted on 1 April, 2010 at 4:19 pm by Pete Stott
Hey Batter-Acid, I’ve not had an update on the Warriors. I’ll have another poke around to see if there’s any news.
Hope you have a great Easter too.

Thank you
It would be great to see a return, that and some DC.
But I’ve got loads to spend (what’s left of) my money on at the moment so I’ve got no complaints, you guys do spoil us.

Please can we have this feature for PS3 too? There’s clearly a demand for it and it would really showcase the artwork on a 1080p screen. The larger memory capacity of the PS3 would also mean people could buy a lot more publications. In fact why stop at comics? Magazines, newspapers or even books could be downloaded. The possibilities are endless and it would certainly have the potential to be highly profitable for Sony and the various publishing partners.

@ ProblemSolver
Why don’t you and all the other idiots stop trolling every post made on this blog?
I bet you don’t even use OtherOS, just some immature child who feels the need to whinge everytime Sony do something supposedly ‘controversial’. The fact is they got rid of this to stop hackers like that idiot GeoHot or whatever he’s called. Oh, but you don’t care do you?
Jesus.
Good work on the comix store though guys, excellent so far.

Hey guys good work on the playstation store and all the work you have been putting into it so far, i especially enjoy the comic book sections, never purchased any comics previously, but i have already racked up aa fair few of the collection available (i have become an even bigger superhero enthusiast) sorry about all the unnessary stick you lot are recieving about the other OS, its like these people forgot its primarily a games and entertainment…… but ye on a bright note good work and i am sure there get over it eventually! Just a quick question in terms of comics, on the amazing spider-man (2003) issue 525 starts ‘The other’ series, i have already purchased the ones available, but i was wondering if the other missing issues in the series would soon become available, really want to piece together that entire story arc? but ye thanks for the content so far, i hope DC joins in the club soon for your benefit and my and many others entertainment (any dc executives reading this..go on you know you want to!) cheers guys.

would have commented earlier, but i got white knight chronicles the other day
great game.
another fine selection, another dent in my playstation wallet, why can’t i have a playstation purse anyway?
where was i?
oh yeah, great selection, gonna give that eternal descent book a try, haven’t bought any with commentary yet and i can’t wait to try it out.
before i forget, another vote for a ps3 version
i have got one idea i’d like you to think about, how about trial editions of new books, just a few pages for free so you can get a basic idea about whether you might like the book.
i know marvel do that on their digital comics web service, maybe they’d be open to the same thing for the psn comic store.
oh and any news on any free comic book day freebies
lastly, keep up the good work.
