Marvel's Strange Tales Max is finally out!

I'd been anxiously waiting for Strange Tales Max since reading about it on the fantagraphics blog a couple of months ago, and the first issue (of three) is finally out now. The anthology showcases classic Marvel characters re-imagined by lots of great indepedent artists. I haven't got my copy yet, but the idea of Jason, James Kochalka, and Junko Mizuno drawing marvel heroes is almost too good to be true.

Issue # 1 features James Kochalka, Paul Pope, Peter Badge, Junko Mizuno, Molly Crabapple, John Leavuttm, Dash Shaw, Johnny ryan, Michael Kupperman, Nick Bertozzi and Nicholas Gurewich. Woot!

Atom Eve's own book!!!!

Not only is Invincible one of my favourite super-hero comics, but if if I could pick a single character (from any given universe) to be for a day, I'd pick Atom Eve. And now I hear there will be a "Invicible presents Atom Eve Collected Edition" out in two days. Oh, excitment!!!


The book collects two single issues that came out a while ago, and even though it's not written by (Invincible creator) Robert Kirkman, and the art is not by Ryan Ottley, I still can't wait to get my hands on it.

The first five pages are available to preview now. Woot!
