New Comics for October 10th 2018

Posted on by Juan Muro

Man this week is HUGE! Plus this Saturday, October 13th is Walking Dead Day, so make sure you swing by your local comic shop to pick up some black bagged exclusive covers, reprints of issue #1, and some really cool swag to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the comic! Lets get to it!

From DC this week, foil covers continue! Also, Cursed Comics Cavalcade #1 hits the racks! Horror! Death! Uh…Face-punching! Witness ten all-new stories that promise to be the most terrifying, most shocking and most horrific comic that DC Comics has ever published! (Hyperbole much?) Batman, Wonder Woman, Guy Gardner, Swamp Thing, Zatanna and more of your favorite heroes face unspeakable horrors from the streets of Gotham City to the darkest sectors of the universe.

Also from DC this week, Flash #56 hits the rack! Things are about to get hot-very hot!-when Flash has to battle fire monsters generated by his longtime nemesis, Heat Wave. Unfortunately, the pilot light blew out in Mick Rory’s head, because he’s comatose from the effects of the Sage Force! How can the Scarlet Speedster reach his old frenemy and get him to put out the fire monsters? Looks like Commander Cold takes a demotion…so he can pretend to be Captain Cold and talk Heat Wave down!

From Image this week, a new title called Infinite Dark #1 hits the racks! The universe ended, but onboard the void station Orpheus, a skeleton crew of humanity survived: the last two thousand souls, waiting for a second big bang that may never come. Now, two years into their voyage, Security Director Deva Karrell investigates the station’s first murder-and the otherworldly motives behind it.

Also from Image this week, from DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON, the creator of the Eisner-nominated series EXTREMITY, comes MURDER FALCON! The world is under attack by monsters, and Jake’s life is falling apart: no band, no girl, no future… until he meets Murder Falcon. He was sent from The Heavy to destroy all evil, but he can’t do it without Jake shredding up a storm. Now, with every chord Jake plays on his guitar, the power of metal fuels Murder Falcon into all-out kung fu fury on those that seek to conquer Earth.

From Marvel this week, Namor is back in Avengers #9! WORLD WAR BELOW!With the underwater world on the brink of war, the Avengers go aquatic to save the day, but air-breathers are no longer welcome in the undersea city of Atlantis. And Namor, the Sub-Mariner, lord of the seven seas, has a bold new plan that will change the balance of power on Earth forever.

Spider Geddon continues with issue #1 hitting stands this week! REVENGE OF THE SPIDER-VERSE! Back in 2014, SPIDER-VERSE brought every Spider-Man ever together. This event spinning out of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #800 has Christos Gage and Dan Slott teaming up to destroy them all. The Inheritors have somehow gotten out of their radioactive prison planet and made their way to the Marvel Universe. It’s going to take a whole Spider-Army to keep them from TAKING IT ALL! Starring Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus, Spider-Gwen, Miles Morales, Spider-Woman, the Spider-Man from the anticipated video game and, well, every Spider-Man and Spider-Woman ever, including some brand-new ones! With Jorge Molina on art, the END OF ALL SPIDERS never looked so good!

Star Wars Solo Adaptation #1 (of 7) blasts onto racks this week! FEATURING BACKSTORY AND SCENES NOT SEEN IN THEATERS! After leaving the IMPERIAL NAVY, a young HAN SOLO seeks adventure by joining a gang of galactic mercenaries – including a 196-year-old Wookiee named CHEWBACCA and a notorious gambler named LANDO CALRISSIAN. But there’s more to the story of the galaxy’s most beloved scoundrel than what you saw in theaters. Why does BECKETT trust him? And what is the connection between the woman who stole Han’s heart and one of Han’s closest friends?

Another one-shot kicks off some new What If’s this week with What if? Punisher #1! WITH GREAT POWER…When Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben is ruthlessly killed by a burglar Peter let escape, he vows to never let the same fate befall another innocent bystander. From then on, he stands as a figure of cold retribution. Criminals beware – the guilty caught in this spider’s web will be PUNISHED. But will Parker stand triumphant…or shattered by this twist of fate? The friendly neighborhood takes a different turn in this WHAT IF? adventure, positing a very different sense of responsibility for the man who will be known as THE PUNISHER, as his battles against villains like the GREEN GOBLIN take a new path!

Lastly from Marvel this week, X-Men Black continues with X-Men Black Mojo #1! THE SPINELESS SHOWMAN TAKES CENTER STAGE! That’s right – that most successful producer ever to pack the cross-time airwaves, the man himself, MOJO, has yet another plan in place the boost his ratings at the X-Men’s expense! And I’m sure he would say it’s THE MOST IMPORTANT COMIC BOOK YOU’LL EVER READ! PLUS: Part 2 of X-MEN BLACK: APOCALYPSE!

From AfterShock this week a new sci-fi series makes its debut with The Last Space Race #1! It started as an anomaly. An outlier in the noise that’s so common in astronomical data. But the truth sends the United States-and the world-careening into what will become humanity’s LAST SPACE RACE. Leading the effort for the United States is one man, Sasha Balodis. A fun-loving tech billionaire turned aerospace titan, Sasha’s seemingly perfect life has been gripped by recent trage-dy. Building and launching the most expensive, most ambitious and most important project in history-well, it gives him something to live for again. There’s only one thing standing in his way: his arch-rival and chief aerospace competitor, Roger Freeman.

From Black Mask Comics this week, a new horror title makes its debut with Devil Within #1 (of 4). Paranormal entities. Demonic possessions. Or is it madness? When newly engaged Michelle and Samantha move into an old house, Michelle starts experiencing disturbing events… rogue reflections in mirrors, strange apparitions, and an errie voice only she can hear. Samantha doesn’t believe in ghosts, but the alternative might be even more terrifying in this hauntingly paranoid thriller

The newest special episode from Tim & Doyle is all about Harry Potter VS Star Wars.

A little bit of time is devoted to Solo, and Fantastic Beasts 2, both the 10th installments in their respective franchises. Which 10th installment are the guys most excited to go out and see? The startling similarities are also discussed, as well as possibly an accidental plagiarism? Is there a Jar Jar Binks of the Harry Potter World? Plus of course, which franchise is better? I think you’ll be surprised at that answer!!

Comics Release for January 31st 2018

Posted on by Juan Muro

New Comics Release for 1/31/18

January is already over, but with one last
hurrah we get some glorious new comics on the last day of the month. Here we
go!
From Dark Horse this week, the first book from
their “Berger Books” imprint curated by Karen Berger lands this week with
Hungry Ghosts #1. On a dark, haunted
night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the
samurai game of 100 Candles-where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of
ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings-and prays to survive the challenge.
Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry
Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted
with the common thread of food. First course: With bad consequence, a ramen
chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than
they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns
ghastly. Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony
Bourdain and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose. Joining them this issue are stellar
artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose
Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope.

From DC this week, a bunch of new goodies hit
the rack including Metal #5! For new offering we have Motherlands #1 written by
Simon Spurrier with art by Rachael
Stott. In a crazed future
where unhinged technologies and interconnected parallel Earths have given rise
to a spectacular class of super-criminal, the most beloved celebrities aren’t
actors or rock stars, but the bounty hunters who traverse an exotic multiverse
in search of impossible prey! But when the spotlight-shunning, strait-laced
tracer known as Tab finds herself in an ultra-violent race for her greatest
prize yet, she’s forced to work with her greatest enemy, the only person
capable of IDing him: her own elderly, overbearing and hypercritical mother,
who was once the most fabulous and celebrated bounty hunter of them
all.

Also this week the
“New Age of Heroes” continues with Silencer #1! Written by Dan Abnett with art
by John Romita Jr. “CODE OF HONOR” part one! She’s one of the DC
Universe’s deadliest assassins…and you’ve never heard of her. Super-strong,
highly trained, armed with devastating and stealthy meta-human abilities, the
Silencer is virtually invincible. Or at least she was. After decades as
Leviathan’s chief assassin, Honor Guest put in her time and managed to get out
with her skin intact. Now she lives a normal life with a normal family in a normal
house on a normal street. But the past has come back to haunt her in the form
of her old employer and a deadly new mission…and Talia Al Ghul won’t take no
for an answer.

From IDW this week,
the Star Wars Adventures Forces of Destiny concludes with its final offering
featuring Rose and Paige from The Last Jedi.

From Marvel this week, Phoenix Resurrection concludes with issue #5. A light in the
darkness is not always welcome. Kitty
Pryde, Old Man Logan and Cyclops are leading teams of X-Men all across the
globe, chasing events connected to the Phoenix. But with teammates disappearing
and familiar enemies returning, the X-Men are fighting a losing battle. Beast
doesn’t know how or what shape it will take, but he knows they are running out
of time before the Phoenix makes its true presence known. Meanwhile, a young woman named Jean is starting to go
insane in her peaceful, suburban life. Nightmares and daydreams are spilling
over into the world and revealing cracks in her reality. Jean’s life and
everything in it may just be a facade, but made by who? And why? Jean needs to escape. The X-Men need to stop the cycle
of death the Phoenix brings. Their worlds will violently collide as Jean
searches for an opening and the X-Men fight for closure. But when they are
brought together, will the X-Men be reunited with their long-lost teammate – or
something darker?

stands! “The Perfect
Storm” part one! In the 700th tale of THE FLASH, Barry Allen wants to make
amends to the people he’s hurt, but Gorilla Grodd has other plans! If Grodd’s
shocking attack on Central City wasn’t enough, the reason why-and how it
connects to everything The Flash has faced since the Speed Force Storm-will
rock our hero to his core…and change everything he thought he knew!

Also this week, a new
mini series starts this week! Raven Daughter of Darkness #1! In this all-new
miniseries, Raven faces a new, otherworldly menace that is all too grounded in
reality. Plus, Raven’s personal life is in an uproar as her mother and aunt

to intercede on her behalf as she embarks on the adventure called “The
Girls With the Anime Eyes”! Written by Marv Wolfman with art by Pop
Mhan!

From Image this week,

populated with powerful human-spirit hybrids called Fantasmen, Folke and Roisia
Herviett, two siblings with opposing worldviews, are challenged to prove their
worth and take up their parents’ positions in a devious group who secretly run
the world. Meanwhile, Seraphim, a Fantasmen warrior guard, is sent to prevent a
catastrophic event from affecting the Earth and its own universe.

From Marvel this week, a new 5 issue mini series starts off called
Legion #1 written by Peter Milligan with art by Wilfredo Torres. A mind-bending X-Men
tale from the brains of Peter Milligan (X-Statix, Shade the Changing Man) and

Professor Charles Xavier, has always had trouble containing the multiple
personalities in his mind. And with each personality, comes a wild and
dangerous mutant power. But now, a terrifying new personality is threatening to
absorb these powers and take over David’s mind and

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Posted on by By Albert Burdge


“An Instant Classic. This is Star Wars at it’s best!”
-Albie TOTLB.com
 
The Last Jedi is visually stunning. It’s very well written and directed by Rian Johnson (Looper 2012). The action only slows to give you time to think and grieve when needed. With a running time of  
 
Spoilers Below…
 
 
 
When walking out of the theater after hearing the John Williams score over the credits, there was a lot to process. Character Arcs have begun, others have progressed and a big one has ended. Rey was still the star of the film, but this episode belongs to Mark Hamill.
The people and Droids we love are back. C-3PO and R2 have their moments, including a touching one with Luke, but BB-8 is the one that kicks some serious ass. I think BB-9E was there just to add to merchandise maybe, we’ll see how important he is to the universe later perhaps, so I’m giving that a pass.
It was odd to see Chewie without Han although he was given more than I thought he would be this time out, including a message about veganism perhaps, but done in the cutest of ways. The Porgs are super cute, needed comic relief and the only reason my 5-year-old daughter wants to see the film.

Finn is the anchor of the film, the piece that ties everything together, and also has his bit of adventure and, shall we say sparks with Rose Tico, played by the amazing breakout star Kelly Marie Tran. A Lower Decks type that gets pulled into the main action and is integral to the survival of the Rebels. I wasn’t expecting her arc to go the way it did, but I was so satisfied as it unfolded.  

Leia’s exit in the film combined with the real-life loss of Carrie Fisher had a lump in my throat, and tears on my face early on. It was a moment of gravitas that we were waiting for and dreading at the same time. The force is strong with her.  I was glad to see that there was no computer generated Leia this time, to my knowledge anyway, I was fooled with CGI Tarkin in Rogue One. It will be interesting how the loss will be dealt with in the next film.
Rey and Kylo Ren’s story was absolutely a middle, which is a thing that can normally hurt a part two in a trilogy, but they were given enough development, action, and twists that at one point make you want to stand and yell “Fuck Yeah!”
All I can say is Ben is a liar, he lied to Rey and I expect it to come out in Episode IX. Rey (Daisy Ridley) gives this movie the heart it needs to make it more than the sum of its parts.  She has strength, beauty, and grace, a role model for us all to aspire to. Job well done.

 
Oscar Isaac‘s Poe shows this time out what can happen when you act without having all the information one needs. His arc, along with Finn and Rose, is integral to the if/than this of the bigger plot of the Rebellion vs The Empire, and how they may not be so different at all. This story in some ways is a mirror to our current interesting times of would-be dictators putting their ego and wants ahead of the needs of their people (cough, Supreme Leader Snoke, cough, Pussy Grabber). I have given a lot of crap to Star Wars for being hand-wavy fantasy, but the allegory here has earned, for me at least, it’s placed alongside the best Science Fiction. 

 
Even More Spoilers Below…
For Real…
 
 
 

 
The completion of Luke’s arc was extremely satisfying and unexpected. Just the thought of us as a people experiencing this character’s life in real time, a boy in 1977, who lived in our homes and our hearts for the past four decades has come to the end of his life in much the same way as Obi-Wan did, really makes you think. For me the writing of Luke’s ending and Star Wars: The Last Jedi as a whole by Rian Johnson and the performance by Mark Hamill (Oscar material) was done so well it gives me a greater understanding of cyclical nature of life, the need for it to be so, and hope that we may all, in our own way, make a difference.
5/5 Stars

on Saturday for FCBD, then crazy hail on Monday. Good ole Colorado. I hope
everyone had a great weekend and got to geek out with friends and fellow nerds
at one of the many events over the weekend. What was your favorite free comic
you picked up? This week is no slouch, with some very cool new series kicking
off, so lets jump right in!
From DC this week, we get a pause on “The
Button” as issue #22 of the Flash has been delayed a week. But fret not comic
fan, Titans #11 takes the stage this week starting another crossover called
“The Lazarus Contract”! When Deathstroke
discovers that Wally West’s return holds the key to bringing his son back from
the dead, he’ll stop at nothing to do just that! Don’t miss the debut chapter
of the epic crossover event that you’ve been waiting for! The story
continues in Deathstroke, Teen Titans, and Teen Titans Annual!

From Image this week Cullen Bunn returns to
creator owned horror in Regression #1! Adrian is plagued by
ghastly waking nightmares. To understand and possibly treat these awful
visions, Adrian reluctantly agrees to past life regression hypnotherapy. As his
consciousness is cast back through time, Adrian witnesses a scene of horrific
debauchery and diabolism. Waking, he is more unsettled than before, and with
good reason-something has followed him back. Adrian descends into a world of
occult conspiracy, mystery, reincarnation, and insanity from which there is no
escape.

From Marvel this week, the beginning of a
crossover between Star Wars and Doctor Aphra kick off with Star Wars Screaming
Citadel #1. Rebel pilot and rogue
archaeologist wander side by side into the darkest shadows of the galaxy as
Luke Skywalker reluctantly teams up with Doctor Aphra! The Doctor makes Luke an
offer he can’t afford to pass up…one that leads him to a very rare gathering
at the heart of the infamous Screaming Citadel. Will Luke find what he’s
looking for? Can Aphra be trusted? Or will they both wind up victims of the
Citadel’s Queen?

Lastly, from Boom Studios this week, an
awesome new mini series called Misfit City starts off with issue #1 and is
perfect for fans of Goonies, Stranger Things, etc! Nothing’s happened in
Wilder’s hometown since they filmed that cult kids’ adventure movie there in
the 80s…but that’s ancient history. Until one day, she and her friends come
upon a centuries-old pirate map drawn by someone named Black Mary…and find
out there might be some REAL adventure in their tiny town after all!

Episode 33 comes to you straight from the halls of Hall of Justice Comics & Collectibles.
The first hour of this episode is dedicated solely to Star Wars. SO, if you haven’t seen the movie, then you’ll want to skip to about minute 50 or so. IT IS FULL of spoilers, like Jar Jar Binks, and Han & Chewie making out, you know, all the juicy stuff. But, we all give great insights into what we thought coming into the movie, and what we think about the movie now that we have seen it!!
The rest of the show is dedicated to the “best of ” 2015!! We break down our “best” movie, TV Show, Trailer, comic book, and then the old guys tell us about their “best” memories of 1995. We love this annual event, and I promise, we won’t disappoint!!
Remember, you can ALWAYS let us know what you think! We can only think of so many things to talk about every other week, and would LOVE to get some feedback and ideas from all of you out there who are listening!! You can send mp3s and email to our email address. Also, join the conversations on our Facebook Page and Twitter Page. Also, if you have good feedback, please leave it for us on iTunes and Stitcher!! That’s one way to help us climb the ranks into podcast glory!!

TOTLB-031
From the hallowed depths of Gabe’s basement, we bring you the 31st episode of the Thinking Outside the Long Box podcast!! What a great day for an early Christmas present!!
Because we couldn’t catch Jon on this episode, we have a special sit in guest!! He’s a video game expert, so we talk more video games than normal! This plus an amazing conversation about villains, and Star Wars!!
Our first interview is with Mario Candelaria who published an amazing Firefighter story called Ashes! He tells us about his inspirations to do this particular book, citing these particular people as being unsung heroes! He also tells us about how he got into comic books!! It was an interesting interview, and a good one to boot!!

Our second interview comes from Sam and Mike, who are the co-creators and the writers for The Almighties! This is a book published by Actuality Press! It is such a great spoof book on superhero teams! They will tell us hilarious stories about the different names of the characters, and why they decided to go the “spoof” route. You definitely won’t want to hear about the antics of Ms. F and the rest of the team!!
Remember, you can ALWAYS let us know what you think! We can only think of so many things to talk about every other week, and would LOVE to get some feedback and ideas from all of you out there who are listening!! You can send mp3s and email to our email address. Also, join the conversations on our Facebook Page and Twitter Page. Also, if you have good feedback, please leave it for us on iTunes and Stitcher!!

TOTLB 008 From the gassy bowels…

Posted on by By Albert Burdge


Good morning Peoria!! The eighth episode of The Thinking Outside the Long Box podcast is up and READY to be listened to! It is a “best of 2014” episode! We will run through our “best of” for movies, TV shows, comic books, and our favorite movie trailer of the year! Also, Jon and Gabe take their old segment back to 1994, 20 years ago! Jon tells us about Aquaman Volume 5, which brings about a very different Aquaman than most people are used to! Gabe tells us of his love for GI Joe, and the last issue that came out in 1994! AND, Juan throws in an “old shit” segment, telling us a little bit about Quantum Leap, the Quantum Leap Podcast, and a little bit more on how this podcast came to be! If you’ve never listened to Albie and the rest of the crew from the Quantum Leap Podcast, follow the link at the bottom of the page, you won’t be disappointed!
You also won’t want to miss the great interviews with The Higher Universe Comics, and Forrest Publishing! They tell us about their “superhero origin stories” as well as some of the stuff that they have out now, and will be in the works. They have MANY really cool ideas coming, so you won’t want to miss them!
The Higher Universe Comics tells us about a boy with a balloon head…………and The Misfits, a group of super heroes that might not be so super! Also Forrest Publishing tells us about Whisper, about a “gentleman” just trying to get some sleep…………. These two companies are definitely taking it to the next level, and we are all excited to see what their future brings!!
We’ve also got a BIG interview that we will announce on the 9th episode of the podcast! Trust me, you won’t want to miss this! It’s a big name in the comic book industry!
Remember, you can ALWAYS let us know what you think! We can only think of so many things to talk about every other week, and would LOVE to get some feedback and ideas from all of you out there who are listening!!
