World War Hulk Prologue & Incredible Hulk #106 Sell Out…Again!
Marvel is pleased to announce that the second printings of both World War Hulk Prologue: World Breaker and Incredible Hulk #106 have sold out at Diamond…before the issues even reached stores! Due to this overwhelming demand, Marvel urges fans to pick up their copies of these second printings-both featuring new covers-while they’re still available
in stores, as Marvel has no plans to go back to press on these issues at this time. Featuring the buildup to summer’s hotly anticipated World War Hulk, both Incredible Hulk #106 and World War Hulk Prologue: World Breaker thrilled fans and critics alike when they were first released-now’
“This is a big moment in Hulk history…heck, in Marvel Universe history!” exclaimed World War Hulk editor Mark Paniccia. “We’ve been getting a great response from readers who don’t normally pick up Hulk.? That means a lot to Greg Pak and the rest of the team.
“With the Prologue and Incredible Hulk #106 selling out, you can see that the anticipation for Hulk’s return to Earth is high and there’s lots of speculation as to what’s going to happen. The only advice I can give is to put your hard hats on and duck for cover!”
Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on the upcoming World War Hulk issues and tie-ins, as excitement continues to grow for this summer blockbuster! And for fans, if you want to know just why the Hulk is so ready to smash this stupid plant, then the Hulk: Planet Hulk HC is the collection you have to pick up. World War Hulk is here-prepare for the
incredible!

Diamond Comic Distributors to offer online comic Bushi Tales in June Previews!
Nation’s largest comic book distributor to carry online comic
sensation Bushi Tales
Memphis, TN and Prescott Valley, AZ: May 31, 2007-
David Beaty and Lin Workman announce the release of Bushi Tales, Issue #1 “The Last Titan.” This is the self-published version of the popular online comic story. The gods of mythology have retuned and
remade the world in their image. During this new dark age four female samurai fight to protect their world from an ancient evil. Will the Bushi of Hachiman be able to defeat this evil or will the world be
changed forever? Find out in Issue #1 of Bushi Tales.
Check out the first 6 pages online at www.BushiTales.com/story.php
Printed versions of this 32 page book will now be available in Diamond’s June Previews catalogue (Order number: JUN073799). Issue one has a full-color cover and black-and-white interior pages. The
comic and its Soundtrack CD have been available in several comic, music, book, and even knife shops for over a year now, but has been kept mostly to the Memphis and Phoenix areas. This is the first time
Diamond Comic Distributors will be carrying Bushi Tales, making the comic available to retail shops nationwide.
Issue one will hit stores across the country in August. Issue #2 is scheduled for an early fall solicitation. The comic will continue on a quarterly release schedule.? Why does this team effort stand out from other self-published comic books? It has taken almost 10 years of development to fine-tune the story and characters—and for technology to catch up to where they
needed it to be. It is one of the few comics to have its own soundtrack. It also took two tries and completing two issues to be picked up by Diamond. Bushi Tales has been brought to fruition by two best friends who now live over 1400 miles apart. The creative team also includes Dave’s wife Micah Stewart. Using the internet they send pages, scripts, and sketches back and forth to each other, as
well as running an online store and posting their comic projects for fans and retailers to preview. The Bushi Tales crew has also been making appearances at comic book and fantasy/sci-
across the country promoting this popular online title, and meeting their fans from around the world. The trio will appear as guests again in Phoenix, AZ at the 2008 Phoenix Cactuscon, and for the first
time in the northeast at the popular podcast Comic Geek Speak’s 300th Episode Celebration this September in Reading, PA

WARNERS BRINGING TEEN TITANS TO THE SCREEN – NEWSARAMA
SWEET!!!
WARNERS BRINGING TEEN TITANS TO THE SCREEN – NEWSARAMA
WARNERS BRINGING TEEN TITANS TO THE SCREEN
Add the Teen Titans to the growing list of movies based on DC Comics that are in the works, this according to The Hollywood Reporter.The trade reported today that Warner Bros. Pictures is looking to bring
the popular DC property to the big screen, with Akiva Goldsman and
Kerry Foster through producing through their Weed Road banner, and Mark
(Superman/Batman, Battlestar Galactica) Verheiden attached to write the script.While The Hollywood Reporter gives a brief rundown of the
team’s history, makeup and statue at DC Comics, its report offered very
little in the way of cast details, aside from saying that Nightwing is
reportedly in the mix of heroes. Nightwing’s inclusion – rather than
Robin’s – may be a telling sign of what’s to come in the film, as
projects that cross properties will face issues with character use, as
“Robin” is attached to the Batman franchise, “Superboy” would likely be
connected to the Superman franchise, “Wonder Girl” with the struggling
Wonder Woman film project, and likely, “Kid Flash” with the Flash film,
which is continually trying to find its feet. As such, various
characters, while they may appear together in comics, may not be able
to appear in the film version of their team, as different production
companies hold the rights and control of the characters in film.Of course, with the Titans, this may not be a huge issue, as Cyborg,
Raven, Starfire, Jericho, Terra, and literally dozens of other
characters (both from comics and the animated series) are not attached
to other, larger franchises.While the franchise has enjoyed a renewed popularity at DC, thanks to
Geoff Johns’ stories on the series, the Titans perhaps reached their
largest audience when they starred in their own animated series on
Cartoon Network which lasted for 65 episodes from 2003-2006. The heroes
are slated to make a return to animation as part of DC/Warners’ direct
to DVD animated movie line in 2008 in an adaptation of “The Judas
Contract” storyline. Long-time Titans comic writer Marv Wolfman is adapting that story for animation.The announcement of the film version is the latest in what seems to be
a trend of studios looking to move from single-hero superhero films to
“team-based” or multiple hero projects, as it has already been
announced that film versions of DC’s Justice League, the Doom Patrol, Watchmen, David Goyer’s “SuperMax,” and Marvel’s Avengers are in various stages of planning or very early pre-production. Smallville
led the way in this regard for DC, with various teen versions of its
popular adult heroes appearing on the CW television series.Additionally, the Teen Titans film is the latest comic book movie project announced for Goldsman and Weed Road, as he also is working on film versions of Doom Patrol and The Losers, as well as Tonight He Comes, starring Will Smith. Goldsman told THR that he intends for the film to be consistent in tone with Warners’ more recent comic book film projects such as Batman Begins, Superman Returns and Watchmen, which is important to comic book and genre fans, as Goldsman wrote both Batman Forever and Batman and Robin,
with the Joel Schumacher-directed latter reviled in the eyes of many
fans as the film that stopped Warner’s Batman film franchise cold.Jessica Goodman and Jesse Ehrman are overseeing for Warners, while Gregory Noveck is overseeing for DC Comics.
