Hello and welcome to this week’s comic update!
Dragon Age is back with issue #3 today! After a family tragedy, Gleam and her two brothers go on the road to find the killers and attract some very, very unwanted demonic attention. The suitably epic story should please all fans of fantasy, particularly fans of the Dragon Age game: created with the support of the BioWare team, this comic adaptation allows them to delve deeper into the Dragon Age world and its intricate history and dynamics – with all new stories! Read more from Aaron Johnston, the series’ co-writer, and his love for the Dragon Age world here.
The weekly Silent Hill comic tradition continues with Silent Hill: The Grinning Man. In this stand alone story we meet State Trooper Robert Tower, who has patrolled eerie Silent Hill for ten years while managing never to see its demonic inhabitants. As you can guess his luck is about to change… with the arrival of the gun-slinging double-barrelled terror Grinning Man. Illustrated by Nick Skatal (Hyde, Containment) and penned by Silent Hill favourite Scott Ciencin.
We also have an oldie but goodie series starting this week: the master of mutants himself in his first solo series… Wolverine (1982). Written by comic legends Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, Wolverine (1982) brings you the usual Logan mayhem, intrigue, and even romance! Issues #1 and #2 see Wolverine travelling to Japan to join the master of ninjas and to hook up with the infamous ronin Yukio.
DC Comics bring us many cool comics this week (see the list below), but today I will focus on the quirky and popular series Victorian Undead. “Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth”, said Sherlock Holmes. So what will he make of a Biblical proportion zombie plague, slowly destroying Victorian London? Follow his investigation and admire his zombie-dodging skills in this fast-paced mini series, of which issue #4 is out today.
And finally I’m pleased to announce that the Transformers: Spotlight series continues with Blurr and Jazz! Blurr is faced with a decision that could change the face of Cybertron (and not for the best), and Jazz gets tracked by the Predacons, in a situation that goes from bad to hopeless… These are the 21st and 22nd instalments of the expansive Spotlight series, so check out the other issues to find your other favourite characters.

A good update this week, but with no Wildstorm Universe titles the last two weeks it’s a bit slower for me, which isn’t a bad thing because I’ve totally fallen behind on my comic reading!
Good to see the wait for Dragon Age #3 wasn’t as long as it was issues 2. I’ve been enjoying that series though, we need more fantasy titles like that.
Great to see Victorian Undead getting highlighted as well, I don’t normally like zombie stories, but this one is fantastic! That’s mostly because it’s Sherlock Holmes though
Posted on 22 September, 2010 at 5:28 pm by Pauline Martyn
Enjoy the catch-up!
Agreed – fantasy titles are good! We’re receiving more and more which is great, and which we encourage. Check out the D&D comic if you get a chance!
I’m a fan of Mr Holmes as well – never thought I’d see him facing zombies though.

Really been enjoying Transformers Nefarious. Victorian Undead is decent too especially since like Ravenblade86 I’m not all that keen on zombies (most overused monsters ever)

Glad you like it!

Any news on a Danish/Scandinavian release? We just want access to the English-languaged comics, obviously. No need to translate.
Are the rights, laws and regulations so complex that it’s not worth overcoming for all this extra income?
Posted on 22 September, 2010 at 5:35 pm by Pauline Martyn
No news sorry – and English content is definitely a must.
Not so much rights/laws/regulation as getting a store up and running, which is a very complicated and lengthy process… It’s not all in our (the comic team’s) hands sadly.

So, Everything going well over there? Currently trying to get in the mood to enjoy the beutifull nature outside, Nice temperature really helps whit making long walks doable.
Looking forwards to be able to read PSN comics on a bench somewhere, I really should find a bench along a river, the sound of the river flowing by is so soothing..
The good old questions:
Release in Scandinavia/rest of EU?
Comics reader for PS3
And Crossregion gifting?
Posted on 22 September, 2010 at 5:41 pm by Pauline Martyn
No new sorry – hopefully coming to a bench along the river near you soon!

You’d think people would have the common sense (and the decency given the multitude of replies) to quit asking the same questions until told differently. Ah well.
Back to the update:- nothing here for me this week. Still waiting on some more Spider-Man content, TBH.
Any change of Scott Pilgrim arriving on the store? I know they are massive paperbacks that live outside the normal comic-book standard but may as well ask.
Keep up the good work!

Posted on 22 September, 2010 at 5:46 pm by Pauline Martyn
Ah yes, we do need more Spider-Man… I need to investigate further there.
Sadly we don’t have Scott Pilgrim’s publisher on board, which is a shame.
But thanks for the kind words, and I hope I can have more answers for you soon!
