Star Trek is a series that has felt like it’s stuck for years. Most of them were set in prequels or other universes, and with the exception of Picard, they were at best retread in their own right. That’s not the case with Star Trek: The Last Starship (outside September 24th). This is a new series of hundreds of years of known Star Trek history, featuring a miscellaneous crew and a federation that we have a very different one from before. It’s an exciting turn that many Star Trek fans want to see in movies and TV shows. Leave it…
Parasomnia is the latest album in beloved American progressive metal band Dream Theater, and after 17 years of waiting, when Mike Portnoy rejoins bandmates John Petrucci, Jon Myung, Jordan Ludez and James Lovely, last year’s most beloved lineup has reunited. The resulting album showed the band’s new energy. The band has already had a very successful 30-year career, but shows no signs of a halt. Currently, in collaboration with Z2 Comics, the band is releasing their companion graphic novel, Parasomnia: The Graphic Album. Like the inspirational album, this collection of eight stories explores the thin lines between the awakened world…
This September, the Curse of Shirley Johnson #3 will offer a historic moment for the spawn universe with two brand new covers by comic icon Frank Miller, including a highly anticipated team-up with spawn creator Todd McFarlane. The issue features Miller’s latest variant, his first spawn cover in 25 years, showing off pencils and inks by Miller in the colours of Alex Sinclair. But the real highlight is the 1:25 black and white incentive edition. Miller’s Pencils was reconsidered by McFarlane himself. The first time we will share cover duties since Wizard Magazine #32 in 1994 marks the first collaboration…

Calling Robert Kirkman and David Finch “legends” is a big understatement. Kirkman’s written genre-defining hits won hits including Invincible and the Walking Dead, launching the Energon universe with a blank rival. Finch draws many superhero icons (including Batman and Moon Knight), earning the distinction with his rough, detailed style. Now, the two are finally joining forces for Image Comics/Skybound’s latest fantasy epic, Skin Breaker.Skinbreakers take place in a world where tribes of orc-like creatures live in forests filled with all the problems of strange plants and strange (and starving) creatures. The tribe’s leader, Eno is slowly aging, clutching an ancient…
Welcome to another creepy edition of X-Men on Monday at X-Fans, AIPT! Fan Expo Boston 2025 may be in the rearview mirror, but there is an interview to share from the Artist Alley. X-Men Monday recently spoke to author Jeph Loeb. He praised the apocalypse collaborator X-Men. “His pages excite me. Now I feel like I’m trying to catch up with a driver in an F1 race car,” Roeb said. “Action and drama are on par. On top of that, he symbolizes and colors his work, which always brings out something special and amazing.” So when you hear it, and…
Provided by TOKYOPOPO A smart and courageous child Author: Yamamoto MikiPublisher: tokyopopPublication date: November 19, 2024 Rating: 13 and up The works of Assistant Professors, Faculty of Arts, Mangaka and Tsukuba University, Miki Yamamoto are not something that most people in the West think about Japanese manga. She has a more free-style expressive style, and regularly avoids typical genre-style elements (e.g., page layout, book structure, art style, color schemes, etc.) to realize female stories in a way that no other cartoon creators have. While Yamamoto openly speaks about the fact that her work is often perceived as not typical of…

This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we will sit with author Chris Condon for a wide range of conversations ranging from the ultimate Wolverine, the grounded grit of Green Arrow, and the eerie, black and white beauty of his creator-owned series news from Foul-out. From balancing humor and horror, Condon goes deep into his process and the story that defines his year of 2025, passing his personal storytelling voice through a vastly different genre. Before that, we’ve got a stacked news rundown: DC’s November solicitations, the reveal of Batman/Deadpool #1 and its insane DC/Marvel creative mash-ups, Batman Beyond meeting…
Following current trends such as Marvel’s Ultimate, DC’s Absolute, Skybound Energy World, Valiant has announced a reboot with Valiant Beyond. Valiant is to discuss the launch of a new universe “intended to be a new jump-on point for new readers,” but all attention focuses on Valiant Beyond: Bloodshot #1. It was released this week. The book’s bloody, Nanite-driven anti-hero fights a bloody vampire driving blood. When we look at bloody thoughts and motivations, the story becomes problematic very quickly. Many view it as transphobic, referring to the ratios about children, and even mentioning adrenochrome later in the book. Comic creator…
