MARVEL COMICS' X-FORCE DIGITAL DIRECTOR'S CUT
|

|
|
Marvel Comics is offering a Director's Cut edition for X-Force #1 to those who have preordered or purchased a digital copy of X-Force #1 before Nov. 20 11:59 p.m. (ET).
Exclusive content will feature a draft of #1's script, inked pages, color pages, a variant cover gallery and more.
The issue is written by Benjamin Percy, with art by Joshua Cassara.
Here's how Marvel describes the story:
The high price of a new dawn! X-Force is the CIA of the mutant world -- one-half intelligence branch, one-half special ops. Beast, Jean Grey and Sage on one side, Wolverine, Kid Omega and Domino on the other. In a perfect world, there would be no need for an X-Force. But wef'e not there... yet. An impactful series that follows the flipside to the X-Men's new status quo."
IDW'S TMNT JENNIKA MINI-SERIES
IDW Publishing has announced a February launch for the three-issue Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Jennika series, spinning out of the "City at War" storyline in the main TMNT book.
Here's how IDW describes the series:
"Written and illustrated by Brahm Revel, who previously shed light on the character's mysterious origins in IDW's TMNT Universe series, the miniseries finds Jennika still trying to acclimate to life as a mutant. Drawn into conflict with a never-before-seen villain, she embarks on a journey that forces her to face her troubled past and conflicted present!"
"Jennika has always been a fascinating character, and her story is now moving in directions none of us could have ever anticipated," Revel said. "I'm very excited about the opportunity to revisit Jenn's past and explore how she's been handling the recent changes in her life, all while being tested by a world that's changing just as rapidly as she is."
Editor Bobby Curnow said, "Brahm has a fantastic knack for revealing character through adversity. With the Jennika miniseries, he's digging deep into what makes this fan-favorite character tick, all in a fast-moving and accessible story. I'm also excited for people to see the back-up stories from up-and-coming creators that will be featured in every issue."
TMNT: Jennika #1 will be available with a main cover by Revel, plus Retailer Incentive variant editions by Jodie Nishijima and Freddie Williams II.
KINGfS REACH: JOHN SANDERS' TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AT THE TOP OF COMICS
Rebellion Publishing has announced a July 9 release for King's Reach: John Sanders' Twenty-Five Years at the Top of Comics.
Here's how the book is described:
"One of the key figures of British comics in the late 20th Century, John Sanders masterminded the output of Britain's biggest comics publisher, IPC, over 25 years -- launching more than 100 titles, selling millions of copies every week, battling censorship and industrial disputes, and coming up against one of the century's most notorious crooked business tycoons!
"For the first time, he now steps into the limelight to reveal his story and that of the medium that would go on to dominate global culture, even as the newsstands it relied upon declined."
"The story of British own-brand comics belongs almost exclusively to the twentieth century," Sanders said. "The era in which they were born, flourished and died. The millions of children who read them were aware that despite their weekly publications being often derided by adults, the stories were finely crafted, and the pictures were commercial art at its zenith. Now, resurrected by serious adult readers and by academics, comics are recognised as being an important marginal note in the story of English literature.
"This is a book written for those grown-up comic fans. But I hope it will be also read and enjoyed by the millions of people whose dreams were enlivened, and whose youthful years were made enjoyable, by comic book heroes they still remember with affection."
