Hi guys – it’s comics update time! Let’s look at some highlights for this week.
Our Ultimate Marvel run continues with Ultimate War (2002) #1-3. This imprint sees some of our favourite superheroes given a new story and a new background, and this week it’s the X-Men’s turn. Magneto threatens the earth, but the X-Men are nowhere to be found – could it be that someone switched sides?…
In Justice League: Generation Lost #17, Max Lord’s plan is coming together and chaos ensues – the United Nation revokes Checkmate’s charter, Captain Atom is wanted to murder, the JLI is viewed as a big joke… And the team face a new enemy, Power Girl. More issues of this cool series coming very soon!
Blood-thirsty orcs are the ones creating havoc in Dungeons & Dragons #2. In the second part of the Shadowplague arc, Adric Fell and his band stumble on a dangerous stand-off and a mysterious shape-changing foe…
Deaf child Nestor Gudfred inexplicably creates utter silence around him, which compels the people near him into each other’s pasts and memories… The Boy Who Made Silence follows Nestor’s coming of age and the consequences that such a gift brings. Winner of the coveted Xeric Grant, this debut issue was originally self-published by internationally exhibited painter Joshua Hagler before landing at AAM Markosia.
And more manga from top publisher TOKYOPOP with Van Von Hunter #1. The forces of evil have returned and the world needs a hero… Enter the legendary Van Von Hunter, the Hunter of Evil…Stuff! Together with his loyal, memory-challenged sidekick, he faces off against the deposed, former ruler of Dikay, who has come back to reclaim his throne!

Take good care your teeth all..
The good old questions:

Hehe – I will pass on the requests to the relevant publishers (except Dark Horse which unfortunately we don’t have on the service), good titles to have indeed.
There’s definitely one that we’ll be having soon, but my lips are sealed.

ANy chance we’ll get some Mass Effect comics at some point?
Posted on 19 January, 2011 at 4:31 pm by Pauline Martyn
I’d love to – but it’s Dark Horse unfortunately, and they are not on our service at the moment.

Not to much for me this week, but I enjoyed Dungeons & Dragons #0 and #1 so I’m looking forward to reading #2. Also really interested in reading The Boy Who Made Silence #1 from Markosia.
Still reading though the new version of Cancertown, it alot longer to read than most comic especially with the amount of audio commentary that has been packed into it.
Posted on 19 January, 2011 at 4:35 pm by Pauline Martyn
The commentary is great isn’t it!

Would it be possible to get Choker from McCool/Templesmith/Image Comics on the store?
Posted on 19 January, 2011 at 4:36 pm by Pauline Martyn
I hope so – although no plans for the immediate future. We’re fans of Mr Templesmith here so would welcome that addition!

With Tokyopop now on board you better start the service in other countries ASAP.
I disagree with #5 and #7 while the service is not available to all EU PSN Plus subscribers.

I’d like to see:-
Resident Evil series & the Fire & Ice graphic novel
Dead Space Series & Aftermath graphic novel
Hope we see the inFamous series when it hits later in the year.
It would be great if the the comics which have a large number of episodes (Y: The last man/sandman) could be released in multiple issues each week, instead of just one.
thanks

I’m sure it’s been suggested before. But what are the chances of a subscription model coming to the service?
Posted on 19 January, 2011 at 4:42 pm by Pauline Martyn
That would be great – it’s an interesting option which we’re looking at.

Posted on 19 January, 2011 at 4:40 pm by Pauline Martyn
Good suggestions, which I will pass on too (if they’re not already planned).
It’s interesting to get your feedback on the amount of issues/week – thanks for that! We’ll take that on board.

As regards subscription this is what I gave my mate for christmas. Something similar on the PSP would be awesome.

I have no idea whether it is feasible, but as Marvel at least already have a running service possible they could integrate it into the PSP store?

Will the comic store ever release the full volumes? like we can buy in shops? I don’t like having to buy comics in parts.

I know it’s not part of your line up but I’d really like to see some 2000AD comics

Posted on 25 January, 2011 at 3:49 pm by NeroDX
What indeed has happened to the 2000AD comics?
I’ve collected all the issues released on PSP so far and am starting to get slightly annoyed that there haven’t been any new Prog issues released for some time now. We have all been waiting for issue #1711 for well over a month now.
