Dynamite Entertainment President Nick Barrucci told Major Spoilers that the DC/Dynamite Entertainment Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash series has been so popular that each of the four issues have completely sold out.

En l’honneur de notre premier vrai examen des Garçons connus sous le nom de ‘La Français ‘et ‘Le Femelle,’ j’ai choisi de parler la langue maternelle du garçon gallique, de ma propre façon maladroite. Il est bon de voir que Garth Ennis a prévu, de nouveau, mes quelques plaintes au sujet de son écriture (dans ce cas-ci, le fait qui se focalisant comme nous avons sur Le Petit Hughie et de Billy Boucher a laissé les autres caractères dehors dans le froid.) Maintenant, à la suite de l’arc énorme d’histoire de saucisse d’amour, nous obtenons l’histoire personnelle du Professeur et du Mary Ann de ce titre…
Dynamite Entertainment has announced it has made an agreement with the Dille Estate to bring Buck Rogers back to comics.
Nick Barrucci, Publisher and President of Dynamite Entertainment, is very enthusiastic to be working on one of his “dream projects since childhood,” and to be working with Flint and his family legacy in that process. Barrucci proudly confirms that fan favorites, Alex Ross and John Cassaday, will be integral to Dynamite’s Buck launch, with both Alex and John providing character designs, Alex providing a cover to issue #1, and John serving as regular series cover artist starting with issue #1. “Dynamite’s job right now,” Barrucci says, “is to find the writer and the artist who share my and my team’s respect and affection for Buck Rogers, and who can help bring Buck, once again, into an exciting new future.”
The agreement not only allows Dynamite to publish new Buck Rogers tales; the company can also produce collections, including classic material, comics-based fine art prints, posters, action figures, trading cards, statues, and other high-end collectibles.
While Philip Francis Nowlan created Anthony Rogers, the character was sold to John F. Dille’s comic strip syndication company for distribution in newspapers. Dille changed Rogers’ name to Buck at the time the comic strip debuted in 1929. The Dille Estate maintains the franchise to this day.

One of the great mysteries of the universe is the nature of “Public Domain.” At one point, a couple of decades ago, the rumor went around the comics industry that the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents were in public domain, and we suddenly got four or five different takes on reviving the characters. Most of the characters in this book are also being published sporadically by AC Comics in their Femforce series and related titles, and many of them were revived by DC/Wildstorm in Alan Moore’s Terra Obscura spinoff from Tom Strong. If you’re a comic ephemera geek like me, you may find this a little bit confusing… The vast majority of readers will see these characters for the first time here… and that’s both good AND bad.

Strangely enough, as an adult comic book fan, I didn’t really get into them as a kid. I have vague memories of my cousin Donnie’s Spectacular Spider-Man, Star Wars, and Shogun Warriors comics (indeed, Shogun Warriors #1 was the first comic I ever bought, though at the time it didn’t do much for me) having not gotten into comics until about age 11. But I have vivid memories of my Grandmother’s hardcover collections of Disney stories, including one explaining the origins of Don Diego de la Vega, the mysterious caped avenger of the old west. I remember so much about that book (and, oddly enough, 101 Dalmatians) that I have a soft spot for any revamp of the big ‘Z.’ Some have been impressive (Topps late ’90’s run, for one) while others… not so much (Marvel’s run circa 1990 left me cold.) Now, Dynamite Entertainment (currently fighting with IDW for the crown of “Most Comic Adaptations Per Month”) is taking another run at the Fox… Wondering how it’s gonna go?
Variety is reporting this morning that Columbia Pictures has obtained the rights to Garth Ennis’ The Boys.
Created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, the contemporary-set comicbook series follows a CIA squad, known informally as “the boys,” whose job is to keep watch on the proliferation of superheroes and, if necessary, intimidate or eliminate them.
I say this is good news for Dynamite Entertainment, but got to be a big sore spot for DC who tried to kill the title due to its graphic nature and content.
