Digital Comics Store Update
Posted by Grace Chen in Comics, digital comics, PlayStation Network, PSN on December 22nd, 2010
Hi everyone!
Welcome to the last update of the year for PlayStation Store Comics, and boy is it a big one! We have 82 new comics to keep you busy over the festive period. Plus we have some rather exciting news; we finally have a Manga publisher on board. You’ve probably heard of TOKYOPOP, they were apparently responsible for introducing the term manga to the English language. They have a catalog of over 3000 books and have worked on creating manga versions of major brands like Star Trek all the way through to SpongeBob SquarePants.
So without further ado, let’s look at this week’s highlights
From TOKYOPOP, who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS, of course! Find out what’s been happening since the Ghostbusters last saved New York City as Peter, Ray, Egon, Winston and the rest of the gang make their first manga appearance!
Based on one of the most popular fantasy films of all time, Legends of The Dark Crystal is a manga prequel set hundreds of years before the events of the film, when the gentle Gelflings and wise Mystics are still thriving. And so, unfortunately, are the evil Skeksis.
Halloween has always been and always will be about one thing…getting the best CANDY. Some fiendish friends excel at tricks if they don’t get the right treats. Follow what happens in I Luv Halloween when these gremlins receive a frickin’ apple at their first house of the night, they plan deadly revenge on the offending fruit-favoring old-timer.
Going where no manga has gone before, check out Star Trek: The Manga which is set in the original series.
The highlight from Marvel this week must be Tron: Original Movie Adaptation. It’s a stunning new visualization of the original TRON film. Learn the secrets of the Tron Universe. Discover its cast of dynamic characters. Witness the events of the legendary film in an all-new comic event.
Finally, from BOOM! comes an adaption of one of my favorite books, Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I believe someone made a film about it too…

Hello everyone, hope you are not too snowed in wherever you are. We have no less than 50 comics to warm your mitts this week.
Before I get to our usual highlights, I’m pleased to present an exclusive and very topical extra we put together for you. A best seller since its release on the store a couple of weeks ago, DC’s World of Warcraft: Curse of the Worgen has been something of a godsend to the hoardes of WoW fans eager to discover more about Cataclysm‘s new playable race. We spoke exclusively to writers Micky Neilson and James Waugh and artists Ludo Lullabi and Tony Washington to get the lowdown on the mini and its characters, the challenges they faced in capturing Azeroth’s narrative and visual style, and their comic industry influences – check out exclusive Q&A here.
In the Marvel corner, the first four issues of NYX (2003). Meet some very special homeless teenage mutants in New York City: time-freezing Kiden, shape-shifting Tatiana, body-shifting Bobby, his mysterious brother Lil Bro, the female-Wolverine X-23 (in her first comic appearance!) and Cameron, a woman with no powers. Marvel’s own Joe Quesada and superstar-in-waiting Josh Middleton bring the world of the X-Men to the streets, and the struggle for survival has never been more uncertain…
Survival is also an issue in BOOM! Studios‘ Dead Run. The end isn’t near… it’s here. America has become a wasteland, leaving the few cities that remain transformed into impenetrable fortresses. Only the very brave or the very foolish voluntarily step foot outside the protective confines of the mega-cities, and Nick Masters is a bit of both. His trade keeps him alive but what happens when he fails a local crime lord?… Find out here.
For those who can’t resist a bit of heroic fantasy, issue #1 of IDW’s Dungeons & Dragons is here! Writer John Rogers (Blue Beetle) and artist Andrea Di Vito (Annihilation) bring us a tale of high adventure and deep secrets set in the D&D world we know and love. Read more on this series from the IDW editors here.
And now for something completely different: Cartoon Books bring us Jeff Smith’s RASL, mixing sci-fi, noir, Native American culture and hardboiled crime in high-contract black & white glory. If you are already a follower issue #8 is out today, but if you want to try this truly unique series the easy way we also have two bundles bringing issues #1-4 and #5-8 at a discount. No excuses!

Hi everyone – it’s time for another Digital Comics Store update. This week we have a huge update and a lot more content from BOOM! Studios.
DC Comics delivers us The Flash: Rebirth #1, a six part mini series. Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver, the visionaries responsible for the blockbuster GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH and THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR, comes the start of an explosive and jaw-dropping epic that will reintroduce to Barry Allen, the modern age Flash who single-handedly birthed the Silver Age of comics! DC history will be made, and the Flash legacy will be redefined!
DC also releases Supernatural: Origins #1 which is a must-buy for any fan of the TV Show.
From Marvel, we finally have the much requested series The Punisher (2001). Written by industry legend Garth Ennis, Issues 1 to 4 are available now.
IDW bring us another dose of Silent Hill, this time with Past Life #1. We also see the forth issue of Zombies vs Robots: Aventure which I can’t recommend highly enough!
Finally from BOOM! comes Cold Space, written by none other than Samuel L. Jackson! When an on-the-run outlaw crash-lands on a hostile planet on the brink of civil war, he finds himself in the crossfire between two warring factions. But in chaos lies opportunity – because where there’s war, there’s money to be made.
Fans of Steve Niles will also want to check out Giant Monster. The year is 2013. Astronaut Don Maggert’s first solo manned space flight has him disappear in the grip of an intergalactic horror. Returning to earth, he’s been transformed into something that will throw the entire planet into peril!

Hi everyone, as we approach our first anniversary the team is busy preparing something special for you all. Hope you’re excited. Here’s the info for today’s releases.
For WoW fans we have World of Warcraft: Curse of the Worgen #1. A series of grisly, animalistic murders have rocked the walled town of Gilneas. A famous detective sets out to discover the perpetrators and finds far more than he bargained for. To find the truth, he must delve through years of twisted history – both the history of his family and Gilneas itself. This pivotal 5-issue miniseries explores the in-depth lore of the Worgen!
Artist Ludo Lullabi tells us more in this exclusive creator Q&A:
The artwork evokes the atmosphere of Azeroth perfectly. How challenging was it to capture this world in the format of a comic book?
Before working on the World of Warcraft comics series, I was a regular player and knew the general atmosphere of the game. The adaptation of my art to the comics came naturally… When I wasn’t sure of something, I went into the game on my tiger mount to study the places in which the story took place!
How much WORLD OF WARCRAFT do you play?
I played World of Warcraft very regularly when the game came out, as well as Burning Crusade. Due to a lack of time because of my work and also the fact that I want to discover all other games out there, I play less and less. I have not investigated everything in Wrath of the Lich King yet. My avatar is still lvl 78, though…
Who are your favourite comic creators?
I am influenced by many creators but to quote only some of them:
Joe Madureira, Humberto Ramos, Katsuhiro Otomo.Name some of your favourite comic book characters, and artistic influences.
The comic books which most influenced me are “Akira” by Otomo and “Battle Chasers” by Joe Mad.
Stay tuned to playstationcomics.com for more WoW: Curse of the Worgen interviews – coming soon.
Elsewhere, Markosia bring us Turkey Grove Farms. Something has gone very wrong on the farm, tired of ending up on people’s plates the turkeys revolt and force the farm hands to provide them with a certain turkey substitute. A dark, adult but most of all, funny comic that you should be sure to pick up. Just look out for the over amorous bull.
IDW deliver the next installment of a personal favorite, Locke and Key: Keys to the Kingdom. In case you didn’t know Stephen Spielberg is producing a Locke & Key TV series, so why not read the comics before everyone jumps on the band wagon!
Born in fire. Raised by monsters. Destined to destroy. On an alien planet shattered by war, no one is stronger than Skaar, the savage Son of Hulk. Marvel release the first two issues today.
That’s it for this week. Check out the list below for all the new releases, or check out our website to browse the entire catalog and to take part in the forums.

Digital Comics Store Update
Posted by Grace Chen in Comics, digital comics, PlayStation Network, PSN on November 3rd, 2010
Hi all!
Here’s this week’s PlayStation Store Comics update. There are many new comic series once again!
Marvel’s Iron Man: The Inevitable (2005) starts this week with issues #1 to #5. In this mini-series, concluding next week, Iron Man’s long-time enemies come back to haunt him, including classics villains the Living Laser and the Spymaster.
And there’s more Iron Man-related goodness with War Machine (2008). James Rupert Rhodes is an ex-Marine who befriended the legendary Tony Stark and became his personal pilot before blasting into his own ongoing series! This 2008 incarnation by Greg Pak and Leonardo Mancowith comes with a surprisingly familiar supporting cast and one of the biggest villains in the Marvel Universe!
If you still haven’t got your fill of heavy-armored heroes, check out IDW’s Transformers: Sector 7 #1. The secret history of the Transformers is finally revealed, through the multi generational saga of the clandestine spy group code named SECTOR 7. Fans of the Transformers movies will also be happy to know that this comic links directly to a few familiar storylines.
And to keep the Halloween spirit alive, we bring you an adaptation of Robert Rodriguez’s upcoming grindhouse flick Machete. In issue #0, Rodriguez himself, alongside producer Aaron Kaufman, pens the ultimate “Mexploitation” tale of revenge as we see what drew Machete to first pick up the blades.

Digital Comics Store Update
Posted by Grace Chen in Comics, digital comics, PlayStation Network, PSN on October 27th, 2010
Hi everyone! The trick or treating season is upon us, and here is a ghoulish comic update to entertain you and your zombie friends.
We have Deadpool (2008) comics for you! Yes. Deadpool is one of Marvel’s most famous anti-hero, a disfigured and mentally unstable mercenary – who loves breaking the fourth wall and talking to his readers. This ongoing series is penned by Daniel Way of Wolverine and Incredible Hulk fame, and illustrated by X-Men expert Paco Medina. Issues #1 to #7 are all available today.
Y: The Last Man returns with three new issues this week, #11 to issue #13. Yorick Brown is the last man on earth… but is he the last man in the solar system? Could the answer be in the International Space Station? Yorick’s terrifying pursuers don’t care, and chaos ensues as the women around him risk all to keep him alive. If you are not following this series yet, make sure you give it a try – #1 is FREE so no excuse!
No less stressful is IDW’s 5 Days to Die, this week reaching issue #3. Ray Cisara is a tough cop who has survived a terrible car accident… for now. His serious brain injury leaves him five days to live. Should he stay to protect his daughter whose life is put on the line by the crash? Or should he track down the person who nearly wiped out his family? The cruel dilemma and its consequences unfold in this fast-paced action mini-series. Read and bite your nails!
Finally, here are a few topical recommendations for your Halloween weekend. Do you like slightly undead detectives and noir humour? IDW’s macabre and very funny Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse and Dead, She Said are for you. More of a zombie invasion fan? Check out the acclaimed Marvel Zombies and Marvel Zombies 2, as well as Chris Ryall and Ashley Wood’s beautifully creepy Zombies vs Robots and Zombies vs Robots Aventure. More undead mysteries can be found in Victorian Undead and in the fascinating story of Aleister Arcane. And of course let’s not forget Vampire Hunter D, Castlevania and the numerous Silent Hill comics we have in the store, amongst others.
