A bunch of first issues this week, so we skipped the news and got right to readin'. This week we speculate on Avengers Armageddon while reading a Wolverine series lead-in by Chip Zdarsky.

Happy reading!

This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, the comic market delivers another round of surprises, from instant speculation heat to Golden Age auction drama.A brand-new Image Comics debut, White Sky #1, is already selling for multiples of cover price just days after release. Is this real demand, market momentum…or another short-term spec spike?Meanwhile, a high-grade copy of Captain America's Weird Tales #74 is currently climbing at auction - already reaching eye-opening numbers with bidding still underway. But is it REALLY a 7.5?

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are diving into two comics that attempt to bring high adventure and chilling modern horror to the spotlight! First up is Youngblood #1 (2025) from Image Comics, written, penciled, and inked by original creator Rob Liefeld with colors by Juan Manuel Rodriguez, inks by Chance Wolf, and letters by Rus Wooton. In this explosive relaunch, the legendary super team is summoned to face a mysterious vessel in the Pacific and a deadly new nemesis that threatens everything they stand for. Is it classic high-octane Image action or a retread of 90's nostalgia? We'll let you know first hand! Then we turn to Murder Podcast #0 from Ignition Press, written by Jeremy Haun with art by Mike Tisserand, colors by Nick Filardi, and lettering by AndWorld Design. This chilling cold open issue drops you into the world of a mysterious true crime podcast that seems to warp your mind the moment you press play. When listeners around town begin to act with murderous intent, Mina and her friends realize that the stories they chase for entertainment may be far more dangerous than they ever expected.

Dans ce nouvel épisode de ComicsDiscovery, nous revenons sur Exquisite Corpses, le nouveau titre de James Tynion IV. Auteur que nous suivons régulièrement dans l'émission, Tynion explore ici le registre du battle royale horrifique aux côtés de Michael Walsh, pour un comics publié chez Urban Comics. Un nouveau projet ambitieux que nous avions hâte de découvrir et d'analyser ensemble. Bataille royale familialeLe nom de James Tynion IV commence à devenir familier si vous suivez l'émission. C'est un scénariste qui arrive souvent avec de vraies promesses et qui sait susciter l'attente. Nous suivons son travail avec attention, et il nous a régulièrement surpris dans le bon sens du terme. On pense notamment à The Nice House on the Lake puis The Nice House by the Sea, une série dont nous attendons la suite avec impatience tant les premiers épisodes nous avaient marqués. On lui doit aussi la très efficace série d'horreur aux accents teenage Something Is Killing the Children. Tynion est un auteur capable d'écrire des récits d'horreur tendus et ambitieux, mais aussi de s'inscrire dans un registre plus mainstream. Son passage sur Detective Comics, où il réunissait autour de Batwoman une équipe composée de Spoiler, Orphan, Clayface (dans une version réhabilitée) et Robin, reste un très bon souvenir de lecture. Autant dire que nous étions particulièrement curieux de découvrir Exquisite Corpses. Une battle royale pour les États-UnisTous les cinq ans, les familles les plus puissantes d'Amérique s'affrontent. Elles se réunissent et choisissent chacune un champion. Le vainqueur obtient le droit d'exercer son influence sur les États-Unis. Évidemment, il ne s'agit pas d'une compétition ordinaire. Les représentants de ces dynasties sont des tueurs sanguinaires, lâchés dans une petite ville isolée transformée en terrain de chasse. Une battle royale brutale où tous les coups sont permis, et où les civils paient le prix fort. Avec Exquisite Corpses, James Tynion IV et Michael Walsh cochent toutes les cases du comics sanglant et excessif… peut-être même un peu trop. Erreur de parcoursAu final, Exquisite Corpses nous a laissés plutôt froids. Le concept est simple, presque trop : une battle royale ultra-violente où l'escalade graphique semble parfois tenir lieu de narration. La brutalité ne suffit pas à compenser un récit qui manque d'épaisseur, et les personnages restent trop peu développés pour susciter un véritable attachement. Sur le fond, l'ensemble donne une impression de déjà-vu. Le mélange entre Battle Royale et The Purge ne dépasse jamais le stade de la référence évidente, sans parvenir à proposer un angle neuf ou une réelle ambition thématique. Les dessins de Michael Walsh remplissent leur rôle, et certains designs de personnages auraient pu être marquants. Mais le scénario ne leur donne pas la place d'exister pleinement. On peine à percevoir la montée en puissance ou la vision d'ensemble que le projet semblait promettre. D'autant plus que James Tynion IV présente Exquisite Corpses comme l'un des titres phares de sa nouvelle structure éditoriale en collaboration avec Image Comics. Une ambition difficile à saisir à la lecture de ces deux premiers numéros qui, pour l'instant, peinent à dépasser leur concept de départ. Un éditorial qui changeSur le plan éditorial, en revanche, Urban Comics tente quelque chose d'intéressant. L'éditeur propose ici un format court et souple de 64 pages à 7,90 €, avec en complément un coffret accompagné de bonus pour les deux premiers numéros. Une formule plus accessible, tant en prix qu'en format, qui pourrait séduire un nouveau lectorat. Il est possible qu'Urban Comics expérimente ici une nouvelle manière de promouvoir certains titres, en misant sur une entrée moins engageante financièrement. L'idée n'est pas mauvaise : rendre le comics plus abordable reste une piste pertinente pour élargir le public. Reste que le choix du titre interroge. Sur une série plus solide ou plus ambitieuse, l'impact aurait sans doute été plus fort. À moins que la cible visée soit un public plus jeune, moins familier des récits de battle royale, et donc moins exigeant sur les codes du genre. Pour l'instant, Exquisite Corpses ressemble davantage à un concept accrocheur qu'à une œuvre réellement marquante. Reste à voir si la suite saura lui donner l'ampleur et la profondeur que l'on est en droit d'attendre d'un titre signé James Tynion IV.

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are charging into battles and demon-haunted worlds with two high-impact debuts in comics.   First up is DC: K.O. Boss Battle #1, a wild one-shot crossover event written by Jeremy Adams, with art by a lineup of artists including Carmine Di Giandomenico and Ronan Cliquet. In this issue, heroes and villains from the DC Universe must contend with challengers from beyond their world, facing off against icons like Homelander, Sub-Zero, Vampirella, and more as they fight for Omega energy and the hope of stopping Darkseid. It's a gauntlet of matchups that pushes your favorite characters into impossible confrontations.   Then we turn to Malevolent #1 from Image Comics, written by Justin Jordan with art by John Bivens and Felipe Sobreiro. This new horror-sci-fi series drops us into a world still scarred by a past demon invasion. Humanity has adapted, and now it has created a weapon capable of killing demons, if that weapon does not destroy humanity first.   Watch tonight at 6:30 pm PT and call in live at www.fantasticforum.live to share your thoughts.   Fantastic Forum, assemble!

With the excitement around DC Comics KO, we turn the clock back to Marvel's own heavyweight showdown: Avengers vs. X-Men.

Recorded live at Cincy Comic Con in September 2014, this panel captures Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky at the height of their breakout Image Comics hit Sex Criminals, a book that smashed expectations by blending raunchy comedy, emotional honesty, and high-concept crime storytelling.Fraction and Zdarsky dig into how Sex Criminals came together, why Image was the perfect home for a book this personal (and this weird), and how humor became a Trojan horse for deeper conversations about intimacy, shame, and connection. It's an unfiltered, funny, and thoughtful discussion about creative trust, collaboration, and what happens when a comic refuses to play by anyone else's rules.With Sex Criminals now officially greenlit as a new television series for Amazon Prime Video, this panel feels even more essential, a snapshot of the moment when a risky, deeply human comic proved it could punch through the medium and reach far beyond it.

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are diving into satire and the cost of perfection across comics and television. First up is Wonder Man on Disney+, Marvel's latest live action series spotlighting one of the publisher's lesser known characters, Wonder Man. Starring Yahya Abdul Mateen II as Simon Williams, the show explores fame, identity, and heroism through the lens of a reluctant super powered actor. We are talking about how Wonder Man fits into the larger Marvel landscape and whether this offbeat corner of the universe brings something genuinely new to the table. Then we turn to The Beauty, the Image Comics series created by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley. Set in a world where physical perfection can be achieved through a mysterious and contagious condition, the series blends crime, science fiction, and social commentary to examine obsession, vanity, and the hidden cost of looking flawless. Finally, we discuss The Beauty television adaptation on Hulu and what it means to translate this provocative concept from the page to the screen. We break down the premise, expectations, and whether the series can captures the spirit of the source material.

Jeremy Haun joins Word Balloon for a timely, wide-ranging conversation about creator ownership, publishing independence, and the moment The Beauty is having right now. With The Beauty debuting this week as an FX/Hulu television series produced by Ryan Murphy, Jeremy breaks down how the show translates his original Image Comics series to the screen, what stayed true, what changed, and why those differences actually matter. It's an honest look at adaptation, collaboration, and letting a story evolve without losing its core. From there, the conversation shifts to the launch of Ignition Press: why Jeremy helped build a new publisher, what gaps he sees in the current comics landscape, and how Ignition plans to support creator-owned projects from concept to long-term success. Jeremy is candid about the realities of adaptation, the lessons learned from The Beauty, and why betting on bold, creator-driven ideas is more important now than ever. If you care about where comics, TV, and creator ownership intersect, this episode hits the sweet spot.

Today Ernie and Robo talk about some recent interactions on social media that prove a lot of you don't really pay attention when watching movies.

Zander Cannon has renewed a lot of faith in single issue comics with Sleep an 8 issue limited series through Image Comics. I've managed to review each episode on my Youtube Channel because the entire story has kept me in suspense. We've gone 7 parts into this story without actually seeing what Jonathan Reason becomes when he goes to sleep. Destruction, Murder, Conspiracy, and all out mystery are what makes this a great Horror story. This small town reminiscent to Zander's remote college town in the middle of Iowa paints a portrait of how things can go silent in a small town when you don't fit and everything is kept a secret. Zander reveals that this final issue will have 3 different art styles as opposed to what we've come to know from the series with its Black, White, and Grey scaled construction with prominent singular Red on particular objects through every page. Zander also gives me a glimpse at life after the end of Sleep and what projects are to come.Written and Artwork by Zander CannonSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations
