Way back in the day, I hated anything western. Then I sat down and watched The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly by Sergio Leone. Wow - suddenly The Man With No Name, and all well done westerns were super cool. And now, the Spaghetti Western character is getting his own comic.
Dynamite Entertainment has announced it has signed a deal with MGM to bring the character to the comic pages.
The new comic book series will explore the rough, western adventures of the “Man With No Name” during the time of the American Civil War (1861-1865) in the untamed Southwestern region of New Mexico. In addition to the capitalizing on the characters’ adventures featured in Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, the comic book creators will also introduce new stories as well.
Dynamite has been snatching up properties left and right and have been doing quite a good job with tiles like The Lone Ranger, Battlestar Galactica, Army of Darkness, and more. If they can do this series right, sign me up. In fact, if they could swing it, how cool would it be to have The Lone Ranger meet The Man With No Name?

Dynamite Entertainment has announced plans to release a hardcover edition of Frank Miller and Simon Bisley’s Bad Boys.
Originally produced as a strip for the British Edition of GQ, Bad Boy is a powerful piece of graphic fiction featuring the story of Jason, a little boy who comes to realize his parents aren’t who they claim to be, and he’s part of a sterile experimental community. Dynamite’s edition of Bad Boy will feature an all-new cover and sketches by Simon Bisley, created exclusively for this release!
The tenth anniversary of Bad Boys is scheduled for a November release and will sell for $14.99.
Dynamite Entertainment has released the cover images for Red Sonja #27 arriving in store this September. The issue continues the World on Fire storyline by Michael Avon Oeming and Brian Reed.
In “World on Fire” Red Sonja and crew are back in Hyboria, now subjugated under the iron hand of Kulan Gath. With a small, but determined band of resistance fighters, Sonja struggles to make a dent in Gath’s proverbial armor, but can she save the very world from the tyranny and evil of Gath!

Dynamite Entertainment released the cover images for th third issue of the New Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero series. Season Zero serves as a prequel to the Sci Fi Channel show taking place approximately two years before the television series.

Dynamite Entertainment has sent Major Spoilers sneak peeks of titles arriving in stores this week. Included in the previews are Red Sonja #24, New Battlestar Galactica #12 (of 12), and Raise the Dead #4 (of 4).
Dynamite Entertainment has sent Major Spoilers the cover images, and a glimpse at the world Ash returns to in Army of Darkness: From the Ashes #2!
Army of Darkness: From the Ashes continues the adventures of everyone’s favorite wisecracking, chainsaw-wielding, boomstick-carrying hero of multiple realities, Ashley J. Williams, as he returns from the cross-over of all cross-overs in the world of Marvel Zombies! Army of Darkness: From the Ashes picks up directly after the Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness limited series with Ash returning to his own reality… but what a world it’s become! Evil Ash and his Deadite hordes rule the land and everywhere Ash turns is filled with mutants and monsters! Can Ash J. Williams gather his “chosen” and take down the Deadite hordes and restore order to the world? This is destined to be THE most talked about AOD series yet!
Really? I thought Marvel Zombies v. Army of Darkness was THE most talked about series. From the PR material sent to us, it sounds like From the Ashes will top that. Check out the preview pages and then tell me it doesn’t look like we are seeing the ending to the Director’s Cut collection of Army of Darkness.
Dynamite Entertainment has announced the Trial by Fire storyline will reach a conclusion this September.
Issue #4 brings the first Terminator 2 comic book event racing towards its startling conclusion, as John and his new found army continue to attack Skynet under the guidance of Uncle Bob, a T-800 loyal to John and his human companions. But, what will they do when Uncle Bob faces the T-Infinity in a battle in which only one of the deadly killing machines is able to walk away in one piece!
In a prepared statement writer Simon Furman said, “This is possibly my favorite issue so far, as things start to roll headlong towards the epic conclusion. As we all know, it’s never easy for John Connor, and his first faltering steps to becoming leader of the human resistance movement hit a serious setback in this penultimate issue. Writing the continuing adventures of John Connor and his battle against Skynet and the Terminators has been a blast from start to finish. The Terminator films are something of a passion of mine, and I’m doing my very best to ensure that comes through in the series. I’ve had amazing freedom to really propel the core story onwards, and this, really, is just the beginning.”

Dynamite Entertainment has done it again by obtaining another hot property. Teaming up with Pandemic Studios, Dynamite Entertainment will be creating comic books based on the Mercenaries video games. The series will be written by Brian Reed, with interior art by Edgar Salazar, and covers by Michael Turner.
In a prepared statement Dynamite’s Nick Barrucci said, “Writer Brian Reed is blowing comics fans away with his work on New Avengers: Illuminati, Ms. Marvel and Red Sonja, so you can expect more of the same incredible action-packed storylines and intrigue from him on Mercenaries.”
There will be some cross promotion between the two industries as Pandemic will be hyping the 800 Comic Shop Locater Service, while Dynamite will pimp the upcoming Mercenaries 2: World in Flames video game.
Dynamite Entertainment has announced Superpowers will be the next project for Alex Ross and Jim Krueger. Apparently the project has been under development for the past three years and the first issue should see the light of day before the end of 2007.
“SUPERPOWERS will be unlike anything that Dynamite has done to date,” said Dynamite Publisher Nick Barrucci in a prepared statement. “Not only in terms of the subject matter, but in terms of every approach we’re taking with the series. After all, it’s not everyday you get to work with Alex Ross. Although, I should throw in a tease that I’m living the dream of two lifetimes as this is just one of the projects we have cooking with Alex in 2007 and 2008!”
Ross will be co-plotting the series and do the cover work and character designs, with the series written by Jim Krueger.
Take the jump for more information and the first painted piece for Superpowers that will also be a print available at Alex Ross’ booth at next week’s Comic-Con International in San Diego.
Dynamite Entertainment has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek at titles arriving this week. Among the new releases; The Lone Ranger #7, Dark Xena #3, Painkiller Jane Volume 2 #2, and Terminator 2: Infinity #1.
I’m really impressed by the properties Dynamite has been able to obtain over the years, and with what they have been able to do with them.
