[Super Hero News] Hickman & Epting's Red-Hot FF #1 Returns With A New Ed McGuinness Cover!

 

Hickman & Epting's Red-Hot FF #1 Returns With A New Ed McGuinness Cover!

After a momentous debut that has everyone buzzing, Marvel is pleased to
announce that the critically acclaimed first issue of FF, by the
megastar creative team of Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting, sold out
immediately at Diamond and will be going back to press with FF #1 Second
Printing Variant! And that's not all! To celebrate one of the biggest
launches of the decade, FF #1 Second Printing Variant features an all
new cover from superstar artist Ed McGuinness.

Fans and critics agree - they can't get enough FF!

"Yes, this book demands re-reading. It helps the story soak in a bit
more and offers more for the reader on a second pass. In short, this is
a near perfect first issue for readers to jump into this fantastic new
world." - Doug Zawisza, <http://ComicBookResources.com>
<http://ComicBookResources.com> ComicBookResources.com

"By the time I got to the last page, I wanted to keep reading, even
though I know I'd read a very full issue. That's when you know they've
been doing something right." - Josh Flanagan, <http://iFanboy.com>
<http://iFanboy.com> iFanboy.com

"I am extremely excited by Steve Epting being on this book. Epting has a
look about his work that combines the best qualities of people like
Bryan Hitch and Neil Edwards, and in particular he really sells the
all-white Spidey suit." - David Pepose, <http://Newsarama.com>
<http://Newsarama.com> Newsarama.com

You've never seen the FF like this before! The dawn of tomorrow begins
today as Marvel's First Family re-invents themselves to tackle the
biggest threats that the Marvel Universe has to offer. This April, be
the first to your comic shops to pick up FF #1 Second Printing Variant!

*Retailers should check the Marvel Mailer for ordering instructions as
quantities will be limited and on a first come first serve basis.

[Super Hero News] Brubaker & Phillips' Award-Winning CRIMINAL Returns In June

 

Brubaker & Phillips' Award-Winning CRIMINAL Returns In June

The best-selling crime comic of the decade finally returns with
Criminal: The Last Of The Innocent #1, from the acclaimed team of writer
Ed Brubaker (Captain America, Secret Avengers), artist Sean Phillips
(Dark Tower) and colorist Val Staples.

What if your favorite children's comic characters really grew up?
Explore that dark question in the newest arc of the ICON series that has
won Brubaker five "Best Writer" awards, and was recently named "Best
Crime Comic" at the International Noir Fest in Lyon.

"With each new Criminal arc we try to do something different," Brubaker
explained. "This time we're trying to make the ultimate crime comic, and
what I mean by that is it's a story that only works as a comic. Yes,
it's about sex and obsession and murder, but it's also about nostalgia
for the past and things lost, using tropes of old kids comics and 50s
era crime comics, but putting our brutal Criminal spin over it all. It's
by far the most ambitious thing we've done."

It's also no accident that the title of this series is reminiscent of
Dr. Wertham's 'Seduction of the Innocent' -- the book that led to the
creation of the Comics Code and the end of the popularity of crime
comics as a genre. "The history of crime comics is inextricably linked
to Dr. Wertham's book, so I decided to take the innocent days of youth
and put them through all of Wertham's worst fears," said Brubaker.

This June, discover just why critics and fans alike can't stop praising
Criminal and check out the all-new Criminal: The Last of The Innocent #1
and take your first peek now, with a special two-page teaser!

CRIMINAL: THE LAST OF THE INNOCENT #1 (APR110668)

Written by ED BRUBAKER

Art & Cover by SEAN PHILLIPS

Mature Content/No Ads...$3.50

[Super Hero News] Updated: Your First Look At VENOM #2

 

Your First Look At VENOM #2

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Venom #2, from the red
hot creative team of writer Rick Remender and artist Tony Moore! When
Venom descends on the Savage Land to dispatch of a WMD-dealing warlord,
he'll find himself in the sights of much more pointed threat - Kraven
the Hunter! Two Spider-Man icons are about to match wits - and weapons -
in a go for the throat, winner take all battle for the ages, and no
matter who comes out on top, one thing is certain - the jungle runs red
tonight!

Discover why fans and critics agree - Venom is a must read from the
House of Ideas!

"It's a new direction and one that works so well because it is so
different from the past, or anything else out there right now." - Ryan K
Lindsay, ComicBookResources.com

"If Remender and Moore can keep up this level of work on the book, we
might have a character-defining series on our hands..." - Erik Norris,
IGN .com

"Remender and Moore have found a unique use for the symbiote suit I love
to hate in their new ongoing, and it couldn't be more on-point." -
Rafael Gaitan, ComicsBulletin.com

Will Venom sever a limb from the Kravinoff family tree or wind up a
symbiote-skin rug? Find out as America's newest covert operative becomes
the most dangerous game in the Marvel Universe this April, only in Venom
#2!

VENOM #2 (FEB110554)

Written by RICK REMENDER

Pencils & Cover by TONY MOORE

Rated T+ ...$2.99
FOC - 4/4/11, On-Sale 4/27/11
