Comic News: IDW Announces Archie Collections

Highly anticipated, first-ever classic reprints starting in May 2010

Get ready for a summer of fun! Starting in May 2010, IDW Publishing will begin its extraordinary series of important Archie collections, offering fans an incredible range of must-have hard covers and trade paperbacks. Archie: The Best of Dan DeCarlo Volume One kicks things off in May by gathering the very best of this seminal Archie artist in one book, followed by Archie: The Classic Newspaper Comics, Volume One, a hardcover collection of strips from the 1940's, in June. In July, true Archie fans will be delighted by a trade paperback of Archie: Pureheart the Powerful.

"Archie is one of the most influential comics on popular culture and we are really looking forward to starting our collections by offering these new books to fans," said Greg Goldstein, IDW's chief operating officer. "Each book offers a new and different way for fans to enjoy or even rediscover this classic comic, with many more to come."

Coming of age in post-World War II America, Archie captured the hearts of generations of children and adults. Archie and his friends remain hugely popular today, appealing to comic fans new and old with a blend of timeless stories and classic Americana style.

The dean of Archie artists, Dan DeCarlo spent nearly 50 years with the characters of Riverdale High, drawing every character at one time or another. Archie: The Best of Dan DeCarlo Volume One contains dozens of stories handpicked by DeCarlo connoisseurs, all shot from original art and recolored to match the flavor of the original publishing. The Best of Dan DeCarlo is the first in IDW's Archie "Best Of" series, which will grow to include collections for Bob Montana and Stan Goldberg, among others.

Archie: The Classic Newspaper Comics, Volume One will be published under IDW's Library of American Comics imprint and designed by Eisner Award-winner Dean Mullaney. Volume One reprints the earliest strips starting from 1946-48, many strips for the first time, and showcases the unheralded genius of Montana as he developed the lovable characters.

Archie: Pureheart the Powerful collects, at long last, the short-lived yet much-loved Archie superhero parody stories that first appeared during the "camp craze" of the mid 1960's. With the coming Archie Comics new Pureheart the Powerful, IDW's reprint collection is the perfect way for fans to rediscover the original characters.

Archie: The Best of Dan DeCarlo, Volume One will be available in stores in May 2010.

Archie: The Classic Newspaper Comics, Volume One will be available in stores in June 2010.

Archie: Pureheart the Powerful will be available in stores in July 2010.

Comic News: The Dark Avengers Face Their Deadliest Foe!

The Dark Avengers were never known for their mental stability, but Earth’s Mightiest “Heroes” may just go crazy in Dark Avengers #11 as they face their greatest threat! Award-winning writer Brian Michael Bendis, along with superstar artists Mike Deodato & Greg Horn, present the world’s most dangerous—and dysfunctional—super team!

With Norman Osborn’s mind deteriorating rapidly and The Sentry missing, how can the Dark Avengers fight an already unstoppable enemy? And even if they do win, will they ever be able to carry out another mission?

“Brian Michael Bendis is doing some great work with characters like Norman Osborn and Mac Gargan.” – Jesse Schedeen, IGN.com

“Mike Deodato, Jr. is in fine form…” – Jesse Schedeen, IGN.com

“Bendis is doing some of his best team-related work on this series, giving us a team of unrepentant psychopaths and setting them loose (well, not loose, but barely controlled by a maniac) upon the Marvel Universe.” – Timothy Callahan, ComicBookResources.com

“It's a fairly solid if not spectacular superhero comic given the twist that everyone is a bickering sociopath.” – Charles Webb, ComicsBulletin.com

Marvel urges retailers to check on all orders of Dark Avengers as it continues to generate significant praise from fans and critics. Don’t miss a crucial turning point for the Iron Patriot & his Avengers in Dark Avengers #11!

Hasbro Marvel Q & A for 10/6/09

Hasbro took some time out of their busy schedule to answer some question on their Marvel toys line.

1) Is there a smaller body type for figure in the MU line for characters like the Young Avengers?

The MU line will release new body sculpts this year, one of which would
address this build.

2) Are we done with Build a figures and single figure packs in the Marvel Legends line? Or will the new figures still be in 6 to 8 single figure waves?

Marvel Legends is an important part of the overall Marvel line, and we are always evaluating ways to include these types of figures in our line.

3) Are any play sets or vehicles planned for the Marvel Universe figures? Like the Fansticar or X-men Danger Room?

One of the great benefits of moving to the 3.75” scale is expanding the
Universe into different categories. The two you mention are examples of
products we are considering. Stay tuned. Read more...

DOMO QEES ARRIVE IN A SECOND MYSTERY-BOX ASSORTMENT AND IN ALL-NEW INDIVIDUAL BLISTER PACKS!

Japanese character Domo is taking the United States by storm. First appearing in the U.S. specialty marketplace as an import item, the fuzzy, sharp-toothed cartoon character has become quite visible as the star of a program of merchandise, food tie-ins, animation, apparel, and more.

Currently, Domo is the centerpiece of a chainwide promotion at 7-Eleven, with his own Slurpee flavor in collector cups. A component of this rollout is a group of four custom Domo Qee toys in unique packaging, including a Slurpee cup, and this assortment has flown off of shelves all over the country!

Hot on the heels of the first Domo Qee mystery-box series released this past summer, Dark Horse is proud to announce the arrival of the second mystery-box assortment. The first series, which offered sixteen different Domo designs, each in a small box that concealed the figure from the consumer until after purchase, was a sellout.

“This was Dark Horse’s first attempt at a mystery-box type of release,” product development head David Scroggy remarked, “and we are gratified by the response. We didn’t want to repeat ourselves, so we came up with a whole slate of brand-new designs for series two. It is an extension for those who bought into the first series, and a jumping-on point for newer fans.”

Dark Horse’s association with Domo, who is the mascot of Japanese television network NHK, began with limited-edition flocked vinyl figures. A set of these in 8-inch size was released initially and sold out. A followup 5.5-inch series received a similar response. Next is a new release of limited editions in 4-inch size, hitting stores this November.

One of the notable aspects of Dark Horse’s licensed Domo figures is the introduction of color variants, known to designer-toy collectors as “colorways.” Since the Domo character is brown in the source material, the Japanese property owners required some persuasion before they agreed to these variations. Given the response from the marketplace, the faith in Dark Horse’s ability to gauge the pulse of the modern pop-culture consumer seems justified.

In assessing the next step, it seemed logical to go still smaller with the new figures, making them similar to the 2.5-inch Qee size. It was a short step from there to bringing the two programs together with a set of Qee-style Domo toys in a variety of flocked colorways, mounted on a new blister-card packaging solution for individual sale.

The next wave of Dark Horse’s Domo Qee program arrives in stores this coming March. Read more...

Comic News: PROOF'S SEASON FINALE TO KICK OFF AN ALL-NEW BEGINNING IN 2010!

The first season of PROOF ends with an all-new beginning on the horizon!

This January the first season of writer Alex Grecian and illustrator Riley Rossmo's ongoing cryptozoological thriller, PROOF, will come to an end as the two prepare an all-new season coming in 2010!

"While this season of PROOF is ending, the series is just beginning," Grecian said. "Not only do Riley and I have a couple of side projects such as his COWBOY NINJA VIKING, but PROOF takes a very big turn with issue #28. It's a natural place to take a short break. Rest assured we'll be back and when we start again nothing in PROOF will ever be the same."

In PROOF, Special Agent John 'Proof' Prufrock, also known as Bigfoot, works for The Lodge, an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting 'monsters' from the threat of human beings. Since its release the series has received critical acclaim, with three volumes of collections in print and a fourth, PROOF VOL. 4: JULIA, to be available during the hiatus. Both Grecian and Rossmo will remain the regular creative team in the new season, due out in 2010.

Rossmo added, "Another reason is to give new readers a very easy jumping-on point. While we've certainly had a great response to the trades, we're making it even easier and more inexpensive than ever to jump on board. If you've never read PROOF before or only do so with the collections, the upcoming new season is your chance to become a regular reader."

PROOF #28, a 32-page full color comic book for $3.50, will be in-stores January 27th, 2010.
