I took some time last weekend to go through the December Previews catalog and a number of things jumped out at me:
Agents of Atlas #1 – Really? Wasn’t there an Agents mini series like a year and a half ago that sold next to nothing?
Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk #1 and #2 (new printings) – Oh my lord!
Astonishing Tales #1 – I’m all for a good anthology series, and this might be it.
Fantastic Four #564 – “a very special Christmas issue”…shipping in January.
Models, Inc. #1 – WTF!!!!
Wolverine Omnibus Vol. 1 – Even though I own nearly everything in this 944 page behemoth, I might just buy it to have a nice, giant hardcover collection of everything.
Toys/Statues
Hellboy II BPRD Ring – Nifty!
Captain America Fine Art Statue – featuring the new costume, (and new Cap).
I’ll be back next month with a review of the January 2009 Previews.
Welcome to the first edition of a little column that I like to call “Heroes and Villains of the Week.” In this (hopefully) weekly column, I’ll be giving a thumbs up or a thumbs down to items from the world of popular culture. Since “thumbs up and thumbs down” are copyrighted, and since I was looking for something that would work well with Alter Ego Comics, I’ve settled on heroes and villains. So, here we go…
Hero: Sideshow Collectibles, for their wicked cool Toht 12 inch action figure.
Villain: Master Replicas, for delaying most of their products, (including the Halo Energy Sword), until 2009.
Hero: Kotobukiya, for releasing their Incredible Hulk Movie Fine Art Statues ahead of schedule.
Villain: DC Comics, for the twisted mess that was Batman: RIP.
Villain: Diamond Select Toys, for going with a repaint, (Pilot Episode Sulu), instead of a new figure in their Star Trek TOS line.
See ya next time.
*The views expressed in Heroes and Villains are those of Marc Bowker, and do not reflect the views of Alter Ego Comics.
There are certain individuals that will forever be associated with certain performances – Sean Connery as James Bond, David Lee Roth/Sammy Hagar as the frontman for Van Halen, and for most adults in their 30s-50s, Christopher Reeve as Superman.
DC Direct has just announced a fitting tribute to the actor who brough The Man of Steel to life – the Christopher Reeve as Superman Statue.
The statue captures Christopher Reeve in an iconic pose as Superman from the classic 1978 film. I must have seen Superman in the theater 4 or 5 times…and I was only 5! I specifically remember attending a number of birthday parties that year at the movie theater to see Superman.
Arguably, the first decent comic book film, Superman holds a dear place in many comic fans hearts, and this statue would be the perfect addition to any collection. Made of cold cast porcelain, the Christopher Reeve as Superman statue stands 12.5 inches tall and is expected to ship in June 2009. Order yours today at Alter Ego Comics and save 10% off the retail price.
Weta Collectibles has unveiled two new Halo 3 statues, the first in a series by the New Zealand based company.
The Halo 3 Cortana statue is an amazing looking piece standing nearly 18 inches tall. An NSC Artificial Intelligence and one of the greatest assets in humanity’s war of survival, Cortana is as close to a person as a computer program could become, though she has no true physical form. Recovered by the Master Chief from the Flood-infested Covenant warship High Charity, Cortana is the Chief’s companion and confidant, the closest thing to a friend he has.
Unlikely allies, the Master Chief and his former Covenant nemesis, the Arbiter, must fight alongside one another. Once the most respected warrior in the Covenant, the Arbiter was stripped of rank and betrayed by the Prophets, while the Master Chief has always been a man alone, even among his own kind. The Master Chief and Arbiter statue measures 12.5″ x 10″ x 8″.
Both statues are scheduled to ship 2nd quarter 2009 and are on sale now at Alter Ego Comics for $225 each, 10% below the retail price of $250.
