Media Release — In their long-standing mission to excavate rare comics treasures, Hermes Press is reprinting the entirety of legendary artist Gray Morrow’s Orion from the pages of Heavy Metal magazine. Orion is Morrow’s 1978 sword and sorcery masterpiece about an Errol Flynn-like swashbuckling hero who battles evil on a strange and mystical world. The project has been a mission of Hermes Press’s Christopher Irving for a decade, starting from his friendship with Morrow’s widow, Pocho Morrow.
DC Comics has announced that Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens will be the creative force on Superman starting with Superman #7. Jurgens will handle the writing chores while Giffen will provide the artwork.
Being a man of many artistic styles, I wonder which one Giffen will opt for? Maybe a Jimmy Olson Kirby style? A Curt Swan classic style? I doubt it will be his Trencher style! We’ll find out soon enough.
The teaser trailer for Justice League: Doom was shown on Friday October 14th at the NYCC ‘11 DC Animated panel.
Justice League: Doom is the last DCU Animated movie to be written by the late, great Dwayne McDuffie who passed away earlier this year. The animated film is based on Mark Waid’s Tower of Babel storyline from the pages of JLA. The original villain in the story, R’as al Ghul, is replaced with the immortal Vandal Savage and his Legion of Doom.
Cyborg is a member of the Justice League and the plot revolves around Batman’s contingency plans for taking down each member of the JL “in case they go bad.” Of course those plans fall into the wrong hands – The Legion of Doom – who is comprised of Vandal Savage, Bane, the Royal Flush Gang, Star Sapphire, Mirror Master, and others.
Rick Remender (Venom, Uncanny X-Force) and Gabriel Hardman (Hulk) are teaming up to take on the the Secret Avengers starting with Secret Avengers #22. Remender actually is taking over writing duties with Secret Avengers #21.1 and will be joined by Hardman in issue #22. This must be one confusing book if it requires TWO Point One jumping on points in a year!
In Thunderbolts #171, the current team will confront the original Thunderbolts with a cover by Mark Bagley, who drew the original series; Jeff Parker and Declan Shalvey will be doing their usual great job inside the book.
The Runaways may or may not be joining the Avengers Academy in a two issue story arc by Christos Gage. We will find out the outcome in Avengers Academy #27 in March, 2012.

EULOGY After the hammer-blow of FEAR ITSELF and the violence of SCHISM, it can’t go on. it’s the end of Uncanny X-Men, and who better to provide a stirring eulogy than…. MISTER SINISTER? Join us for the end of the industry-shaping series with the return of the 19th century’s morally dubious scientist.
