If you’ve been missing the Great Lakes Avengers, then THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL (Marvel, January 2015) is for you.
Mainstream fare is just getting weird in 2015. Speaking of Cloonan connections, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys co-writer Shaun Simon will launch NEVERBOY (Dark Horse, March 2015) promises to combine the real and the imaginary, and the dreamer and the dream, with art by Tyler Jenkins and Kelly Fitzpatrick ( Peter Panzerfaust).
If the “terrifying marriage of horror and sci-fi” wasn’t enough to hook you, then Andy Belanger’s art (with the wonderful Lee Loughridge’s colours) should make this worth a look in March. Similarly, anything with Becky Cloonan’s name attached is always worth a look, and SOUTHERN CROSS (Image Comics, March 2015) is no exception.
#HOLD THE LINE GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES#
It promises to take us inside “the most dangerous room on Earth, and experience exorcism gone digital.” If Simone’s recent output is any indicator, then we are set for one of the best series of 2015. Originally a film project for Morrison, announced back in 2010 with Adam Egypt Mortimer attached to direct, it will adapt the screenplay with Vanessa Del Ray ( Hit) on art duties.ĬLEAN ROOM (DC/Vertigo, Spring 2015) marks Gail Simone’s debut at Vertigo, teaming up with 2000 AD artist Jonathan Davis-Hunt. A very cryptic story involving an astronomer killing his family, a Veiled Lady of nightmares and a group of billionaire futurists called the Nameless, the solicits promise we should “abandon all hope and experience ultimate horror.” In addition to the end of his DC event The Multiversity, Morrison will also release SINATORO (Black Mask, 2015), part of the publisher’s “Slate Two”. Grant Morrison continues his strong recent run with NAMELESS (Image Comics, February 2015), re-teaming him with Batman Incorporated artists Chris Burnham and Nathan Fairbairn. Given Murphy’s clear influences from Japanese pop culture, this one is set to be one of the most talked-about comics of 2015. Set in New Los Angeles of 2189, it’s a dystopian future where people are addicted to technology.
Described in EW as “NASA meets time travel”, creator Millar adds “It’s essentially a buddy story about two best friends who can jump around between 16th-century Persia, the American Civil War or New York in the ’20s.” Yet perhaps even more exciting is the similar creative team on TOKYO GHOST (Image Comics, 2015), this time written by Rick Remender with the same artists on board. This is 2015.ĬHRONONAUTS (Image Comics, March 2015) will come to us from the all-star team of Mark Millar, Sean Gordon Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth. We kick things off with a look at the biggest comics coming out in the next year. It’s also the year that BEHIND THE PANELS gets out and about, does more live shows and gets deep inside your home town (assuming your home town is a major east coast city in Australia). Next year will be a massive year for geekery, containing some of the biggest comics, films, and event releases on record. (The looking back all happens in our podcast Issue 123 and our annual Panels Awards). As the final days of 2014 close in on us, we take the opportunity not to look back in anger or nostalgia, but to look ahead to the wonders that 2015 will hold.
