In other Dynamite news:
CROSSOVER COMING: Dynamite Entertainment has announced a January launch for the four-issue The Six Million Dollar Man/G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero
The series will be scripted by writer Ryan Ferrier, with art by SL Gallant.
"To say Shannon and I are having fun with bringing these two iconic properties together would be a massive understatement," Ferrier said. "We are going full-tilt and no-holds-barred with this story. It's everything we love about G.I. Joe, the classic characters, and massive action, colliding face-first with the steel-infused, secret agent coolness of The Six Million Dollar Man. We are chomping at the bit for everyone to read this comic with a kung fu grip."
Variant covers will be provided by John Cassaday, Ken Lashley, and Mike Zeck. Special action figure covers will also be may orderable from your local comic shop.
IDW PUBLISHING'S GOOSEBUMPS
IDW Publishing, in association with Scholastic, is releasing the second three-issue arc in R.L Stine's Goosebumps comic series. "Download and Die!" is a new self-contained story set in the Goosebumps universe from the duo of writer Jen Vaughn and artist Michelle Wong.
In the tradition of the "Say Cheese and Die!" story, this spiritual successor takes that concept and puts a digital spin on it for the iPhone generation. Today's kids will now have to contend with a smartphone app that snaps filtered pictures which depict nightmarish outcomes.
"This Goosebumps tale is going to delve into what makes friends tick and what can drive them apart," said Vaughn. "What;s that saying, 'you can always make new friends?' Well, not when people find out what you did to your last ones. Michelle brought my characters to life so well...too well. They laugh, they cry, they dream, and bleed through the power of her lines. I'm terrified to read the comic now."
"Creepy stories are my favorite, and Jen is making this one so much fun to work with," said Wong. "I love drawing cute characters, and I love drawing monsters -- it's a dream come true."
The series launches on Oct. 26.
