It’s a Scream
Dark Horse Comics has announced a new series slated to launch November 2007 entitled “Scream.” The series looks to be a refreshing escape to a world where comics are fun again and the main character can be indentified with as an average Joe who finds himself with some unusual abilities. Where he goes, strange behaviors follow. It’s good to see a creator owned series take this approach again. This is what makes superhero comics fun, it’s also why the comics genre was so successful to begin with–just ask readers who had to opportunity to read Amazing Fantasy #15 when Spiderman was first launched. Also, it’s good to see Peter David at the helm of a comic again, one that will allow him to play in his own sandbox and create his own sandcastles. An invigorating approach to art looks to be promising with a glimpse of the cover (see photo). Bart Sears’s detail is lovingly rendered, it looks as if he’s back on top of his game. I’l keep you posted with the latest comics in your future as I’m sure ths fall will have lots of shake-ups in the industry.
