The power cosmic! It is a silver age swashbuckling Daredevil with the Herald of Galactus in one of our favorite runs on the character in Mark Waid and Chris Samnee’s Daredevil #30. … Batman Beyond Universe #1 gives Terry a new book and possibly introduces some more Batman lore set in the not so distant future of the existing books. Written by Kyle Higgins (Nightwing) and Christos Gage (G.I. Joe: Cobra). … You wanted the best, you got Kiss Kids #1! See what kind of trouble Li’l Demon, Starchild, Catkid, and Spacey can get into.

This week’s picks are a bit macho, we’re not gonna lie, but we’re not going to claim that girls don’t like Dredd, G.I.Joe or KISS, THAT would be sexist! … Also, when a new G.I. Joe book comes out, it’s kind of ‘our thing’. Re-introducing a season of a title with it’s origins in the ’80s, Chuck Dixon and Paul Gulacy give us G.I. Joe: Special Missions #1, Scarlett vs. Baroness! … You probably missed Dredd in theaters last year—most did—but reaction from the RedBox is that the movie about 2000 AD’s future cop starring Bones from Star Trek was one of the best of the year. IDW gives us Judge Dredd Year One this week. KISS goes Solo this week at The Demon (Gene Simmons)takes on the Four Horsemen. You wanted the best? You’ve got Angel Medina on art in Kiss Solo #1: The Demon. … Picks this week from LeaguePodcast.com.

EARTH PRIME TIME: KISS RETURNS TO COMICS WITH JAMAL IGLE

in ,

KISS returns to comics and superstar artist Jamal Igle (The Ray, Superman) assures us that every page is lookin’ good. Jamal and IDW Publishing’s Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall return to the comic book Dynasty for a brand new number one issue with a story called ‘Dressed to Kill’.

Jamal was a guest on LeaguePodcast this past December and had a table at this year’s Boston Comic Con to promote his New 52 limited series, The Ray. He promised the League some big news when we ran into him, but had to keep the jewels to himself … until now.

Thanks for taking the time to chat with us today, Jamal. We know you are a very busy man. You’ve got another awesome book coming out this week starring hard rock band KISS!

You know the League members are huge fans of your work. We talked not too long ago about your reboot of The Ray with Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. The KISS book is written by the big guy, Chris Ryall [Publisher/Editor-in-Chief] at IDW.

How many times have people said, “You wanted the best, you got the best” to you since the book was announced?

Not as much as you’d think. It’s been interesting, because a lot of the announcements about what we were doing were coming from the KISS website, so every so often I’d get friend requests from KISS fans. So now people send me links to old concert footage or photos they’ve taken of and with the boys.

DC’s New 52 keeps ‘em coming with T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #1 from Nick Spencer and Wes Craig, packed with superhero team action from rising talent in the biz. … “Riverdale, you wanted the best, you got the best!” Melding a long tradition of incongruous crossovers (see Archie Meets the Punisher) and the vital fluid of KISS marketing, we present Archie #627 - Archie Meets KISS! … For tales of the weird and absurd, look no further than Michael Kupperman’s Tales Designed to Thrizzle #7. That’s right, more tales of Snake N’ Bacon plus this ish features the comic book debut of creepy 70s TV medical examiner, Quincy, M.E. in ‘Quinception’…. Picks this week from LeaguePodcast.com.
