June 08, 2010 By: Heroes Online Category: DISCUSS, Opinion, Reviews, Spotlight on New Releases

In which Shawn looks at the New Releases and lets you know which books she is most excited about!

1) Serenity Float Out One-Shot

Patton Oswalt and Patric Reynolds bring us  this one-shot that focuses on Wash. It has an “oh snap” ending.

2) Red Hood The Lost Days #1

This is the first issue of a six part mini-series explaining the origin of the Red Hood. It has an awesome cover by Billy Tucci.

3) Heralds #1

Chicks fightin’. ‘Nuff said.

4) Jokers Asylum II The Riddler #1

This is the first of five one-shots spotlighting Gotham villians. I dig the art and the story looks like fun!

5) Avengers Prime #1

Alan Davis and Mark Farmer! Well you can sign me up! Thor, Iron Man and Steve Rogers attempt to mend fences after the events in Siege in this eight part mini-series.

HEROESCON :: Late Additions Herb Trimpe, Dean Trippe, Tom Fleming, Paty Cockrum!

June 01, 2010 By: Dustin Harbin Category: EVENTS, Guest List, HeroesCon, HeroesCon News, NEWS

Holy Mackerel! When we have late-breaking guest additions, we don’t fool around! Joining up this week are Silver/Bronze Age legend Herb Trimpe, he of Incredible Hulk fame, not to mention Fantastic Four, The Nam, and good ol’ Shogun Warriors, which were the coolest toys ever in the 80’s. TRUST ME. He’s joined by fellow Silver Ager Paty Cockrum, who was a regular in the Marvel bullpen and co-creator of The Cat there.

And they’re joined by our old chum Dean Trippe, whose work you’ve probably seen in Comic Book Tattoo or his own Butterfly–not to mention the popular Project: Rooftop site, which he created!

And rounding out this update today is another ole chum, Tom Fleming, painter and cover artist on books like Elektra, Captain Marvel, and Vampirella!

Not all the news is sweet today though–it looks like we have a few cancellations to add today, which we hate to do, but these things happen. For personal reasons Mike Choi, John Paul Leon, and Skottie Young have had to cancel their appearances this year. Best of luck to all these guys, who we hope to see next year for sure. You can see the list of all the cancellations to date on our Guest List page, at the bottom of the Recent Additions area at the right of the list!

Just three days til HeroesCon 2010! Whoa!
