This Week’s Article: Previews For October 2011
Posted: August 23, 2011
Now I do understand that publishers are looking for the safe bets and surefire bestsellers to stay in business, that creators need to earn a living and pay the mortgage somehow, even if it means not working on concepts they have originated or derivative wannabe imitations, and that readers often much prefer to stay inside their comfort zones and follow fan-favourite characters or spin-off crossovers from other media they know and love. So, for some, the prospect of yet another first issue of Wolverine & X-Men or a Star Trek mindmeld with the Legion of Super-Heroes for goodness sake is thrilling stuff. But what really excites me are those comics, manga and graphic novels that push me into my “discomfort zone”, that surprise, provoke and engage me, that affirm that this medium is wide open, forward-looking and determined to tackle anything and everything. So I’ve gleaned these goodies for you from what’s lined up to be released in October 2011 (although actual dates may vary) based on publisher advance listings. Forget Stan Lee’s dead-end promise of “The Illusion of Change”, this is “Real Change” and it’s happening right now. Join me, take a chance and take a step into the future of comics.
