from the official Valiant Entertainment press release . . . .

Divinity Enters the Pantheon of Valiant’s Most Enduring Icons with a Fully Painted, Self-Contained Jumping-On Point

 

 Valiant is proud to present the first look inside DIVINITY #0 – AN EPIC JUMPING-ON POINT and UNIVERSE-SPANNING INTRODUCTION to the heroes, villains, and cosmic forces behind the most renowned publisher in comics today! On August 16th, traverse the world of Valiant’s most enduring icons as Abram Adams, the once-mortal man now known as the god-like being called Divinity, begins a stunning and revelatory journey to the farthest corners of the Valiant Universe and back in search of its most formidable heroes – Bloodshot, Ninjak, The Red Brigade, X-O Manowar, and dozens more – in the pages of an all-new, standalone entry point from the mind of New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (X-O MANOWAR, Dept. H) with fully painted artwork by visionary talent Renato Guedes (BLOODSHOT REBORN, Wolverine)!

Divinity, a lost Russian cosmonaut newly arrived to Earth with god-like powers, has successfully restored the world to order after the reality-altering event known as the Stalinverse. But how can a man – even one with near-divine abilities – know for certain that the planet has been truly restored in full? To make sure, Divinity must bear witness to the world as it now stands – heroes, villains, gods, and all – to ensure the rightful order of the Valiant Universe!

In the wake of the repeatedly sold-out and universally acclaimed success of DIVINITY, DIVINITY II, and DIVINITY III: STALINVERSE, a new era for the force that pushed the Valiant Universe to the leading edge of superhero-driven science fiction begins here! On August 16th, jump headfirst into the award-winning comic book line that Nerdist calls “the most cohesive and thrilling superhero universe around” as Matt Kindt and Renato Guedes present a panoramic introduction to the Valiant Universe as seen through the eyes of Abram Adams, only in DIVINITY #0 – featuring covers by incendiary artist Juan Jose Ryp (BRITANNIA), Eisner Award nominee Ibrahim Moustafa (Savage Things), pulse-pounding artist Clayton Henry (HARBINGER WARS), legendary cartoonist Peter Bagge (Hate), and comics superstar Kano (QUANTUM AND WOODY!)!

Plus: This October, Valiant unveils a universe of new worlds, new beings, and new myths in ETERNITY #1 – a VISIONARY NEW SERIES from New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (NINJAK) and blockbuster artist Trevor Hairsine (DIVINITY III: STALINVERSE)! The next evolution of Valiant’s acclaimed DIVINITY saga starts here with an expedition into the Unknown. Beyond time… Beyond space… Beyond reality itself… ETERNITY awaits!

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this type of fare on a regular basis, but

INDIE COMICS: Huffin’ & puffin’ B.B. Wolf’s got the blues

BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPs  (Top Shelf, May 2010 hardcover, black & white, 86 pages,   $12.95)  As told by JD Arnold with illustrations by Richard Koslowski What got my attention immediately was the pairing up of a classic fairy tale with musical motifs.  That’s a combination that pushes two of my “hot buttons” - -  so I made it a must-read.  I was not disappointed.  This is a very entertaining and cleverly designed work that rivals Bill Willingham’s  creativity on the long-running FABLES series from Vertigo. As if taking the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and turning it upside down wasn’t enough to interest, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS  serves as an allegory for the oppression of  the black population in the deep South (Mississippi) in the 1920’s.  While they may be free (wolves),  the governing bodies (pigs) have the power to deny them their land, homes and possessions and even own the businesses and clubs they patronize as well as the shops they d
