Into the Weird: Where Strange Tales Assemble

Whoa! Now that's a power I didn't know Lobo possessed. Apparently, during his first appearance in The Omega Men, he displayed superhuman finesse by flicking an alien's nose, thereby BLASTING HIS BRAIN OUT THE BACK OF HIS SKULL. Cool. Add this to the wide variety of other superhuman skills and Lobo seems pretty much unbeatable. Chief amongst these powers has got to be his ability to regenerate. And no, we're not talking Wolverine level regeneration here. We're talking the ability to completely regenerate from a DROP OF BLOOD. Lobo also seems to possess mad street-fighting skills, enough to take on powerhouses like Superman, Despero or even Darkseid and win. Opponent's Invulnerable? Means nothing to the 'Bo. He's made Kryptonians bleed on occasion, like so: Another ability of The Main Man seems to be the power to circumvent a GREEN LANTERN'S POWER RING.

Hey there, weirdos!  I've got some seriously exciting stuff to share with you in this month's newsletter. You know how sometimes reality and fiction start to mirror each other in the weirdest ways? Well, that's exactly what's happening with Brian K. Vaughan's "We Stand On Guard" right now. The current U.S.-Canada trade tensions have sent this dystopian gem's sales through the roof, especially north of the border. Talk about life imitating art!

I've got the inside scoop on the upcoming Green Lantern Corps series (spoiler alert: it's looking amazing!), some crucial news about TwoMorrows Publishing that needs our attention, and a deep dive into the incredible legacy of Jean Frisano - a artist who brought Marvel's heroes to life for French readers in ways you wouldn't believe. Plus, I'm getting personal with you all once again by sharing one of the comics that s...

Ah, the days of rifling through dusty boxes in the comic book store and uncovering hidden gems. One of my absolute favorite discoveries as a kid was the eclectic and eerie anthology series, Weird War Tales. With its ominous title and macabre covers, it was a beacon for those of us who loved a blend of horror, the supernatural, and a twist of historical fiction.  But amidst the ghastly tales of ghosts and ghouls that haunted the battlegrounds, there was one group that stood out from the rest—The Creature Commandos. These stories from the 1980s, featured in the pages of Weird War Tales, were an eclectic mix of monsters and military might, and boy, did they capture my imagination. The Creature Commandos hold a unique place in DC Comics history, blending the horror and war genres into a singularly bizarre concept. Originally introduced in the 1980s anthology comic Weird War Tales, this team of monstrous soldiers has seen various iterations over the decades, culminating in their recent ...
