Issue #1 of Schifrin, Hama, and Salvatore’s action/horror series gets big orders while issue #4 gets a movie poster legend

Chicago, IL. (Feb. 20, 2008) – The first issue of Devil’s Due’s new monster-packed, military action series Spooks sold out from Diamond a week after hitting comic book racks, and issue #4 added yet another huge creator to its ranks.

“It’s hard getting a new idea out there into such a crowded field, and for the fans to get behind us is wonderful — when you spend years working on something you just hope people will enjoy it, and we’re absolutely delighted with the response so far,” said writer Ryan Schifrin. “It’s been a labor of love from the start, as I worked with Bob Salvatore and Larry Hama to take a spark of an idea and turn it to an epic.” Read the rest of this entry »

Veteran artist and fan-favorite John Byrne is returning to his roots with the publication of a new superhero comic in the form of IDW Publishing’s (www.idwpublishing.com) FX. Hitting the stands in March, this six-part series tells the story of a new hero for the ages. Struck down by a mysterious accident, Tom Talbot awakens to find that playing pretend has suddenly become all too real: He now has power limited only by his imagination. Comic legend Byrne provides the cover art and interior pencils and inks for the entire series created and written by Wayne Osborne.

‘Byrne is back doing superhero comics, only this time he’s doing it for us,’ says Chris Ryall, publisher and editor-in-chief of IDW Publishing, referring to the acclaimed art that Byrne created for comics, such as Marvel Comics’ X-Men and Fantastic Four and DC Comics’ Superman.

I love interesting artwork and killer storylines in comics and as you may already know, I really, really dig originality. If I had half a penny for every crappy Indie comic I have read through…well I’d have a lot of money that’s for sure. Once in awhile though a new Indie book catches my eye and I feel the need to post it on Hero Spy so that you all get a taste. Sal Crivelli’s book “Horsemen” deserves a look. Stay tuned for a review of “Horseman” in the near future.

O.K. I have to say, I LOVED how the Fireman Joel blindsided everyone and didn’t vote for Mary after he spent the whole episode campaigning for her to be voted off! That was just hilarious! That guy is smart and he gets the game. Trust no one! I like him!
Now as far as Chet….come on! Who are you kidding making excuses for NOT EVEN TRYING in the challenge! Come on! If you know you aren’t a strong swimmer, why on earth would you waste everyone time by pretending to go out there and not even compete?!?!?! Chet, you are on my last nerve! You don’t get it! You didn’t even try! Read the rest of this entry »
