The Loners have sold out once again at Diamond Comics. The series by writer C.B. Cebulski and artist Karl Moline takes a look at heroes who are anything but. Spinning out of the Runaways, The Loners follows five young heroes who want to get rid of their powers altogether and just be normal. Marvel has announced issue #3 has sold out at Diamond prompting C.B. Cebulski to exclaim, “A three-peat?!? Wow! I guess Marvel has a new ‘little book that could’ on its hands. As I’ve been a Marvel zombie pretty much since birth, being allowed to write a comic…

Moonstone Books has sent Major Spoilers the solicitation information and cover images for titles shipping in September 2007. Kolchak fans will be happy to know the original novels which lead to the television movies and series are being rereleased by the author. That and alot more after the jump.
Hot on the heals of our Flash poll, DC Comics has sent us a sneak peek of the first three pages of the issue that hits this week. Take the jump for the four color goodness and get your engines started as this troubled series reaches a close with a reveal that will help kick off this September’s return of the ongoing Flash series.
Our non-scientific poll has closed, and fans have responded: They want Wally West back in the pages of the Flash! Of course the poll ends just in time for Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #13 to arrive, marking the end of the series. Will Bart die? Is Wally really coming back, or will it be pre-Crisis Barry Allen? Come back on Wednesday for our first day release review of Flash for all the answers. And with the closing of the Flash poll, it’s time to turn our attention to Marvel and one Tony Stark. Is Tony a Skrull? Take the…
I don’t remember if I mentioned it or not, but some creative types, got the go ahead from Josh Howard to produce an independent Dead@17 fan film. The film is finished, and Dread Central is hosting the film for the next 48 hours for all to see. Actually it’s less than 48 hours now, the film will be removed from the site Tuesday, June 19th – better get it now, or hope someone snags it and puts it up on the torrent. It’s more of a teaser for something bigger, but it gets the general feel of the series right.…
Time for Lex and Green Goblin to get in on the act, I mean far be it for Superman or Spidey to steal their thunder. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnHHDzQ4Axw[/youtube]
From the pages of Superman #663 comes this wonderful panel of the Oblivion Bar. Everyone sing with me – “Sometimes you wanna go, where everybody knows your naaaammmee! Dum dum dum dum! And they’re always glad you came! Dum dum dum dum!” So looks like angels do drink (Zauriel), Dawn has a chat with her late husband Manitou Raven, the Ghost Patrol kick back to regale each other with tales of adventure, Witchfire gets the ol’ pickup line from Fake Arion, while Traci Thirteen looks on. And hey, isn’t that Princess Amethyst chatting with the bartender? Bless you Bill Willingham…
Marvel Comics has announced Silver Surfer: Requiem #1 has sold out and is going back to print with a new variant cover by Esad Ribic.
Yeah, after the boner joke last week, I thought it best to show Marvel can make similar mistakes. This week’s entry: Captain America I command you to WANK!
That’s more like it I think everyone has had their fare share of problems with Countdown, whether it be the convoluted introduction of New Earth, the character history that can cause many to easily get lost, or the fact you need to purchase other titles to get the full story. But with issue #46 the story finally calms down enough for readers to fully appreciate it.
Way back in the day, the one writer who made me a huge fan of everything Flash was Mark Waid. He had a super run (pun intended) on the series, and today DC announced Waid would be returning to Flash this fall. But wait, that’s not all! Flash: The Fastest Man Alive will be ending with issue #13, and the new series will pick up with Flash #231 written by Waid, with penciler Daniel Acuna. This September we’ll also get a one shot called All Flash #1 with a slew of artists. But what Flash will Waid be writing about?…
I know Logan has had a mind wipe, but I was also pretty sure he had recovered nearly all his memories. Apparently not as Wolverine: Origins Annual #1 finds Wolverine returning to Madripoor looking for answers to his past. Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek at the annual.
Entertainment Weekly has a look at the new suit Batman will be sporting as he swings through Gotham City next year. Yes, someone scanned it, and yes, we “borrowed” it to show off. via Superhero Hype!
Some of you may have heard of a little movie called Star Wars that came out in 1977. Topps is getting into the act to celebrate the 30th anniversary, and asked Josh Howard to help out. I was recently invited to contribute 200 sketch cards to the upcoming Star Wars 30th Anniversary card set from Topps. Needless to say, I’m thrilled to be a (very small) part of something that’s shaped my life in so many ways. Head over to Josh’s site to see all the cards in one go. Awesome work as usual Josh! via Josh Howard
