DABEL BROTHERS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE DRESDEN FILES, BUTCHER TO WRITE MINISERIES - NEWSARAMA

DABEL BROTHERS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE DRESDEN FILES, BUTCHER TO WRITE MINISERIES Early last month, we told you about author Jim Butcher’s announcement that his Dresden Files novels would be adapted into comic book form by the Dabel Brothers. Today, the company confirmed the news, adding that Butcher himself will write one of the upcoming miniseries. The novel series, which was adapted for television and saw life as a short-lived series on Sci Fi, follows Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, an investigator of the supernatural. A wizard himself, Dresden aids the Chicago police in their investigations of cases that stretch past their reach and into the supernatural. Dresden is no angel either, as he is constantly watched by the White Council due to a misadventure in his past which resulted in the death of his uncle. The comic versions of the Dresden Files (Butcher has written nine novels, with a tenth due in February of 2008) will be direct adaptations of the novels, and will begin with Storm Front in mid 2008. Prior to the debut of Storm Front, Dabel Brothers will release in April, an original four-part Harry Dresden miniseries written by Butcher. “I couldn’t be happier to see the Dresden Files hopping the gulf to a new medium–and to one where I think they’ll have the chance to really shine,” Butcher said. “I’ve spent considerable portions of my life obsessed with comics. I like them, and they helped shape my imagination as I was growing up. The action in the Dresden Files has always been inspired by my favorite superhero titles–Spidey and the X-men–and several facets of Dresden himself were modeled on some of the same foundations as Peter Parker. For heaven’s sake, my online handle has been ‘Longshot,’ after the sometime X-man, since my very first email account.” Adaptations of Butcher’s Dresden Files will join at least two other Dabel Brothers’ adaptations in 2008 - Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein: Prodigal Son, and George R. R. Martin’s Wild Cards. The titles will be published in conjunction with Del Rey Books, an imprint of Ballantine Books.

INVINCIBLE #42 FOR $1.99 - NEWSARAMA

INVINCIBLE #42 FOR $1.99

---

Press Release

This March, Image Comics is offering readers who still
haven’t discovered INVINCIBLE a chance to try the series out for only
$1.99. Featuring the start of a brand-new story arc and a complete
recap of the series so far, INVINCIBLE #42 is the best jumping on point
since issue #1.

Written by Robert Kirkman and featuring art by Ryan Ottley and colorist
Bill Crabtree, INVINCIBLE #42 starts fresh after the devastating events
of the Mars storyline concluding in issue #41.

“Mark has just saved the world, and it’s not the first time, but
everyone saw it happen,” said Kirkman. “We’re going to really start
exploring Invincible’s standing with the public starting with issue
#42. Things are going to be a bit different from now on, and it’s an
excellent time for anyone who’s been on the fence to finally take the
plunge and find out what INVINCIBLE is all about.”

Since its debut, INVINCIBLE has received widespread critical acclaim,
with everyone from ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY to WIZARD to G4 TV’s ATTACK OF
THE SHOW and Comedy Central’s COMEDIANS OF COMEDY singing the title’s
praise. In 2004, Paramount Pictures optioned INVINCIBLE for a feature
film, with Kirkman himself attached to write the screenplay.

“INVINCIBLE continues to be one of our most popular titles,” stated
Image Executive Director Eric Stephenson. “Sales continue to climb on
both the single issues and the collections, but we still hear about
people who haven’t given it a chance. INVINCIBLE #42 is an excellent
jumping-on point for those folks.”

INVINCIBLE #42, a 24-page comic book in the Image Slimline format
priced at $1.99, is available for order now (FEB071908) in the February
issue of Previews and will go on sale April 25.

Off the Presses: JSA: Ghost Stories (Vol. 12)

JSA: Ghost Stories (Vol. 12)

Off the Presses, Scoop, Friday, January 05, 2007

DC Comics; $14.99 Although DC President & Publisher Paul Levitz
is better known by many for his present job, there are still plenty of fans
around who remember him first and foremost as a comic book writer, one who had a
cool stint on the 1970s revival of All-Star Comics and a highly respected
run on Legion of Super-Heroes. For the first time in way too long, 2006
saw Levitz put the writer’s hat back on to tackle a six-issue arc of JSA, the
last of the that particular series featuring the world’s first superhero team.
The result was a wild, entertaining ride through the origin of the Gentleman
Ghost and visitations with the team’s past. A must for JSA fans!
