Dynamite

Dynamite's been pretty happy with the Legenderry: A Steampunk Adventure mini-series that Bill Willingham has been writing for them.  Happy enough to be spinning it...

One of more unusual characters in the Chaos! Comics line is Smiley the Psychotic Button, a button that's a bit more than a clothing...

I think we can give Jim Butcher his comic book street cred.  It's one thing for an author to allow adaptions of their work....

In 2015, Dynamite will be celebrating their 10th year of publishing Red Sonja comics and will starting the anniversary off with Red Sonja Vulture's...

We're told this is the final Dynamite teaser in this campaign. A guy with a gun... a little hard to guess this one.

Hm, a magician in a top hat...who COULD this be?

We hear it was a rough day at Dynamite Entertainment's Mt Laurel, NJ offices yesterday, as a car hitting a telephone pole took out their website. But they've been heroically dropping some teasers so we'll play along. What can this be? Definitely has the pulpish feeling we've come to expect from DE. BUt we're all or guys with swords lurking in swamps, so bring it on and Hail it.

Dynamite Entertainment is well known for it's "pre show" barrage of announcements, and there have been some good ones, but it's safe to say that publisher Nick Barrucci has rarely been as excited over anything as this: Dynamite has been granted a worldwide license to publish James Bond comics, including early years, and, it appears, all the characters. So maybe Young Jaws and Pussy Galore when she was just Pussy Moderate-amount.

About 20 years ago, Neil Gaiman was mostly known as The Sandman Guy. He was as beloved as ever but it was just before he became one of the work's bets known authors. ONE of his projects of the time was THE LAST TEMPTATIOn, based on a theme album by horror rock icon Alice Cooper. Illustrated by Michael Zulli, the themes of the album fit in well with Gaiman's work: a boy named Steven leaves from home only to meet up with the Showman and his Theatre of the Real. Buying a ticket to the show is buying a ticket to a nightmare. Beautifully drawn by Zulli, and published by Marvel's bizarre Music Line (there was also a Billy Ray Cyrus comic by Paul S. Newman, Dan Barry, and Gail Beckett) this oddity is being brought back by Dynamite in a limited edition Hardcover Remarked edition, signed by Gaiman and remarked by Zulli, with the art remastered and colored by David Curiel at InLight Studios. The book is available in an edition of only 200, with bonus material including all three scripts to the book, the original outline, and Neil Gaiman's original correspondence with Alice Cooper.

Battlestar Galactica art edition? Why yes, when Walt Simonson drew it. Dynamite is adding to its oversized Art Editions line with Simonson's BSG book, Jose Gonzalez' Vampirella and Marvel's John Carter Warlord of Mars series which had art by Gil Kane, Carmine Infantino, Dave Cockrum and more. Tasty!

Dynamite announced they would be doing a Shaft comic book a few months back, and now they have announced the creative team: David F. Walker and Bilquis Evely. Walker is a writer and filmmaker and one look at his blog BadAzz Mofo will tell you he's a complicated man. Plus he wrote a book on blaxploitation films so, yep. that works. Evely is a Brazillian artist who isn't an obvious choice, but an intriguing one. Variant covers are by Francesco Francavilla, Michael Avon Oeming, Ulises Farinas, Matt Haley, Sanford Greene, and a collaboration between Denys Cowan and Bill Sienkiewicz.

Dynamite is launching their own digital comics store today.  The comics will DRM-Free, which makes DRM-free the new (and welcome) trend in digital.  And...
