COOL STUFF COMING SOON
A quick look at what we’re itching to get our grubby mitts on in the way of comics, movies and more.
GEARS OF WAR ISSUE ONE: The first issue of the officially licensed comic book series based on the massive-selling Gears of War video game property will be on the shelves in October. The series is written by no less than Gears of War 2 scribe Joshua Ortega.. DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: Cybermen! A fake Doctor! A new companion! Cyber Wraiths! We’re all itching to get the new Doctor Who special episode into our eyeballs, and after the events of Journey’s End, it is going to be interesting to see what sort of state of mind the Doctor will be in. TORCHWOOD AUDIO EPISODE: To be broadcast on radio four on the 10th of September, the full-cast audio episode entitled ‘Lost Souls’ sees the story pick up after the end of series 2’s heartbreaking climax. PUNISHER: WAR ZONE: Well, its got to be better than the last Punisher flick, hasn’t it? IRON MAN ON DVD: Yeah, some Tony Stark shaped action is just the ticket for later this year. The Iron Man DVD is said to be out in November, and we’re all up for a piece of that. X-MEN: GHOST BOXES 1: The two issue Ellis/Davis/Cho series looks set to be a huge hit in the Autumn. UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS: Yeah, it isn’t hitting these shores until early next year, but the Underworld prequel looks like it is going to be immense. SECRET INVASION: The thing we’re all excited about right now has gotta be the big ending to Secret Invasion, which, in our opinion, is one of the finest crossovers to have been published in a very long time indeed. Of course, over the top of everything else there is the WATCHMEN movie, but who knows when that’ll arrive now Fox are having a tantrum?
Oh, and there will be some very cool stuff indeed coming from us in the coming months…stay tuned.
