All fans of Evan Dorkin’s Milk and Cheese will be having a wonderful Christmas this year. Dark Horse Comics will publish the Milk and Cheese: Dairy Products Gone Bad Hardcover with a release date of November 23rd, 2011.
The hardcover, measuring in at 7” x 11” and 240 pages, should leave a smile on every fan’s face – this writer included. With a retail price of $19.99, this book is a bargain considering how much fun is included within its covers and, at that price, would make a wonderful Christmas gift for all your friends!
On top of their previously announced lay offs, title cuts, and cancellations, news came of more Marvel Comics publishing cutbacks today.
Marvel has cancelled both books that feature a female character in the solo lead, X-23 (#20 last issue) and Ghost Rider. Black Panther: The Man Without Fear is also ending with issue #529 and PunisherMAX will end it’s story and run in February. According to writer Jason Aaron, PunisherMAX was not cancelled but the story ran it’s course to the end. Also Villains For Hire has shrunk from a five issue series to just four issues.
Peter Panzerfaust by Kurtis Wiebe and Tyler Jenkins will be a new ongoing series beginning in February from Image Comics / Shadowline. The pair have recently worked together on the Snow Angel GN that is currently available in digital form.
Wiebe, who is currently writing the critically acclaimed Green Wake and just finished The Intrepids miniseries, seems to be a rising force at Image Comics. From reading his previous work, I can tell this will be a quality series; especially with Jenkins handling the artwork.
This year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show featured Superheroes as one of their themes. Scantily clad women in super heroine inspired costumes strutted down the runway while being ogled by sung to by Kanye West and the guy from Maroon 5. They all wore much more fabric than Starfire does, though.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was taped and will air on CBS on Tuesday, November 29th, 2011 (10-11PM EST) for those of you who’d like to see more “superheroes” in action.
Until then, here are some pictures from the event to tide you over.
Comic book artist, writer, and movie director Frank Miller has had enough of the “Occupy” movement and has decided to tell the world exactly how he feels.
Last week on his personal blog, Miller went on what could be called a hastily assembled, incoherent, rambling, and vitriol filled rant railing against the entire OWS movement and the people involved. It really boils down to a name calling diatribe; Miller’s “Hey you kids! GET OFF MY LAWN!”
The long stretch of large Comic Cons runs mainly through the late spring and summer, but there’s never a shortage of smaller Conventions throughout the year. Any convention wouldn’t be worth its salt without a large contingent of cosplayers, and the Long Beach Comic Con 2011 had its fair share. LBCC ‘11 also had the added bonus of being held on Halloween weekend.
Here is a large collection of cosplay photos from LBCC ‘11.
Enjoy!

Godzilla Legends is a 5 issue series featuring Godzilla’s foes in self-contained stories. Here is a preview of the first issue courtesy of Comic Book Resources.
Godzilla Legends #1, written by Matt Frank and Jeff Prezenkowski, and drawn by Matt Frank, is available at comic shops on Wednesday, November 16th, 2011 with a cover price of $3.99. The first issue features a cover by Bob Eggleton and Arthur Adams, and several alternate and incentive covers are available.
Starting in January 2012, Marvel Comics will include a free redeemable digital download code in all their Ultimate Comics titles. Marvel just recently started their free digital download program with the release of Avenging Spider-Man #1, which was also polybagged to protect the codes, which are printed on the inside back cover, from being stolen. The Ultimate Comics titles will also be polybagged for the same reason.
The program begins with Ultimate Spider-Man #6 in January, followed by Ultimate X-Men #7 and Ultimates #7 in February, and will continue with subsequent Issues.
Marvel has been criticized lately for lowering the page count on some of their $3.99 titles as DC has tried to maintain a lower price point by offering many of their books at $2.99. Some Marvel fans feel that they’re not getting $3.99 worth of value for their money. DC has also offered digital downloads in a few of their titles, but for a dollar more.
