Dynamite Entertainment has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of titles arriving this week (that’s Sept 6 for those in the US). Take the jump for Painkiller Jane, EVA: Daughter of the Dragon, The Boys, and the concluding chapter of Dark Xena.
The Sci Fi Channel is going to allow the remaining episodes of Painkiller Jane to play out, but after that, the action series based on the comic book is getting the axe.
The cancellation of “Jane” comes on the heels of the strong Friday premiere of another Sci Fi series based on a comic strip, “Flash Gordon,” which scored the channel’s best series premiere numbers this year.
Well that’s odd considering I thought the Flash Gordon pilot was pretty weak, especially with that guy playing Ming.
The last episode of the show airs on September 21.
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.
Matthew will be happy to know Jane looks to be doing a lot better in Painkiller Jane #2 shipping in June with covers by Amanda Conner and Alecia Rodriguez.
About the release, Dynamite stated, “Painkiller Jane #0 started with Jane getting a tattoo (you’ve really got to see the issue to believe it!) and ended with in a fiery finale. Jane returns to the land of the living in issue #1 and was not happy (getting blown up tends to put her in a bad mood), but that didn’t stop her from tackling a terrorist, saving a train full of New Yorkers and falling head first into a dangerous and mysterious conspiracy. By the end of the issue #1, the action really got hot for Jane (if you read it, you know what we mean) and continues to do so right through issue #2. So far, Painkiller Jane has been a great series- Guns! Explosions! Hard-hitting, in-your-face action! This series has it all! And to top it all off, you can catch Painkiller Jane in her Sci Fi television series every Friday night.”
Take the jump for a peek at the two covers.
Dynamite Entertainment has provided yet another sneak peek at titles arriving in stores this week. This time it is Painkiller Jane Vol. 2 #1.
Still trying to catch up from my very long trip to Las Vegas, which means I missed getting this sneak peek from Dynamite Entertainment up in time. But considering the new issues just hit stores, there is probably a good change to get back to the shop to pick one of these up. (more…)
The Painkiller Jane television series premieres this week (April 13) on the Sci Fi channel, and to help kick things off Dynamite Entertainment and Sci Fi are giving away free Painkiller Jane stickers.

“Jane is one of my favorite characters, and with this new series we are going to take her places she has never been before,” said Palmiotti. “The greatest thing about writing Painkiller Jane now is that, with working on the show and the book at the same time, it’s giving me a unique opportunity to build on the character and take Jane to a more mature audience than she has ever had before. I really am excited!”
