March Comics

CBR has the new Dark Horse, DC, Image and Marvel solicitations for March.

This is the stuff I'm thinking about in addition to my regular pull list.



RAGEMOOR #1
Jan Strnad (W) and Richard Corben (A/Cover)
On sale Mar 21
b&w, 32 pages
$3.50
Miniseries
Ragemoor! A living castle, nurtured on pagan blood, harborer to deadly monsters! A fortress possessed of its own will and ability to change itself, with the power to add and destroy rooms and to grow without the help of any human hand. Its owner is mad with jealously, its servants aren’t human, and its secret’s horrific!
• From the creators of Mutant World!
• A gothic nightmare à la Poe and Lovecraft!
“Richard Corben and Jan Strnad are like the Jack Kirby and Stan Lee of post-EC monster comics, responsible for classics like The Last Voyage of Sindbad and Mutant World. To see the two of them back together and a project like this is just exciting as hell.” —Mike Mignola (Hellboy, B.P.R.D.)

Corben's art is just fantastic.



SAGA #1
story BRIAN K. VAUGHAN
art / cover FIONA STAPLES
MARCH 14
48 PAGES / FC / M
$2.99
Y: THE LAST MAN writer BRIAN K. VAUGHAN returns to comics with red-hot artist FIONA STAPLES for an all-new ONGOING SERIES! Star Wars-style action collides with Game of Thrones-esque drama in this original sci-fi/fantasy epic for mature readers, as new parents Marko and Alana risk everything to raise their child amidst a never-ending galactic war. The adventure begins in a spectacular DOUBLE-SIZED FIRST ISSUE, with forty-four pages of story with no ads for the regular price of just $2.99!

I got the first trade of Y: The Last Man read it but went no further, Ex Machina I have all of it but have still to read the last 10 or so issues. The art and the genre have sold me on this.

When The Market Is Flooded With Competition And The Authorities Are Always On Your Tail, What’s An All-American Supervillain To Do? Go To Spain, Of Course!
