Creepy was the first one and is available in both archive  format and “Creepy Presents” volumes spotlighting individual artists (Alex Toth, Bernie Wrightson, Richard Corben, Steve Ditko).

Eerie was the companion series. By halfway through it’s run, it had evolved into something a little different with multi-part stories and characters who returned, the breakout character being The Rook (a time traveler with some western elements baked in). It’s also available in archive format and “Eerie Presents” for collecting individual features (El Cid and Hunter).

Comixology (at Amazon) Sales: Jack Kirby; Venom; X-Men; Creepy; Calvin and Hobbes

In this week’s Comixology (at Amazon) sales, Marvel puts the discounts on Jack Kirby, takes a trip to the beach, cuts prices on the Symbiotes and a variety of X-Men titles, too. Plus, Creepy, Eerie and Calvin and Hobbes.

Where did the New Releases and Sale pages go?

In case you’re having troubles with the new UIX (a LOT of people have been):

Kirby is King

Fantastic Four - The Coming of Galactus  Thor - The Wrath of Odin  Eternals by Jack Kirby

The Marvel Jack Kirby Sale runs through Monday, 8/31.

Yes, Jack Kirby did a LOT of comics for Marvel. Is he the greatest action artist comic books has ever produced? Quite possibly. And the man could handle 3 books/mo. That’s no small feat.

Let’s first hit the highlights by the numbers:

What’s better than the rest? If you want to split some hairs, I’d say Fantastic Four Epic Collection: The Coming Of Galactus is roughly where FF hits it’s stride leading to the first encounter with Galactus. Thor Epic Collection: The Wrath Of Odin is a good Thor volume. (We found Thor needed a bit of time to get rolling.) Eternals has finally gotten it’s reappraisal after too many years of comparisons to New Gods. Captain America Epic Collection: The Man Who Sold The United States is an odd one for this sale, but a great collection. You get the final act of Steve Englehart’s run and then you get Kirby’s Madbomb saga, which probably reads better today than it did in the original release.

Beach Blanket Punch Out?

Avengers West Coast  Untold Tales of Spider-Man  Jeff The Land Shark: Friends And Rivals

The  Marvel Beach Reads Sale runs through Monday, 8/31.

This is an odd sale with lots of volumes containing random appearances of somone like Sandman. There are, however a few characters and titles with runs, which will make more sense:

What’s good? We like Bill Everett on Namor. (Bill created him and it just works.) For the Silver Age, that means Namor The Sub-Mariner Epic Collection: The Invasion Of New York. For the Golden Age, early Marvel Mystery Comics is most consistently Everett. Untold Tales Of Spider-Man is great. Avengers West Coast is reliable through Byrne (though Byrne is divisive) and is there anything wrong with Roy Thomas or DnA? Not really. Plus, Jeff The Land Shark has his fans.

No, You Were Thinking of Sim-City

Venom by Remender   Venom by Cates   Venom

The Marvel Symbiote Sale runs through Monday, 8/31.

By it’s very nature, a Symbiote sale (read: Venom/Carnage)  is a fairly scattered sale, with multiple formats and a lot of random early miniseries floating around. Browse for a better accounting of the listings.

For the early stuff, the better values are the somewhat scattered Epic Collections.

The early (mostly) Spider-Man appearances can be found in Venom Epic Collection: Symbiosis. That’s largely the David Michelinie / Todd McFarlane / Erik Larsen material.  That’s followed by Venom Epic Collection: Lethal Protector which has a few more villainous appearances and the original Lethal Protector mini. And then Venom Epic Collection: Carnage Unleashed continues the 90s appearances.

Eventually Venom gets his own series:

  • Venom  (2003-4) – The Daniel Way era
  • Venom  (2011-3) – Rick Remender/Tony Moore, then Cullen Bunn/Declan Shalvey
  • Venom (2016-8) – Mike Costa / Tradd Moore / Mark Bagley
  • Venom (2018-21) – Donny Cates / Ryan Stegman
  • Venom (2021-24) – Al Ewing / Ram V / Bryan Hitch
  • Venom War (2024) – Al Ewing / Iban Coello
  • All-New Venom(’24-’25) – Al Ewing / Carlos Gomez

Let’s talk about the last 12 years or so. The ’11-’13 series is more interesting than you might think. That’s when Flash Thompson has the symbiote and uses it (among other things) to replace the legs his lost in the war. There are some interesting pathos floating around, particularly in the Remender/Moore run.

The Cates/Stegman run is probably the most famous right now. That’s where Venom gets Cosmic and leads into the King In Black Event.

The Ewing / V / Hitch run, is an evolution and big leap forward from the groundwork laid by Cates. Al Ewing drives the Cosmic elements, which are the most interesting part. Eddie Brock is dead. But he isn’t. He’s separated from his body and he’s bouncing around in time as his son becomes Venom in the present. It’s a much, much stranger take on Venom than most others and really dives into the King in Black mythos and timeline, eventually culminating in Venom War. Ewing’s basically picked up the ball and ran with it, creating his own saga.

Carnage

Yes, the other symbiote Bobbsey Twin is also included in the sale (at least part of the catalog)

This is an odd set compared with something like Fantastic Four, since Carnage has been a guest villain or mini-series dweller for part of the time, so here’s the highlights and short tour.

For early Carnage, your best best is probably Carnage Epic Collection: Born in Blood. That gets you the first Carnage tale from Amazing Spider-Man _and_ the Maximum Carnage arc. For more of those early villain and mini-series appearances, there are two more Epic Collections with their own series page.

We liked the 70s-horror flavored ’17-’19 incarnation of Carnage by Gerry Conway and Mike Perkins quite a bit.

Carnage then relaunched in ’22 by Ram V and Francesco Manna. This one weaves in and out of serial killer thriller / fantasy (with a trip to Asgard) / and capes.

The next series of Carnage follows that up with the team of Torunn GrØnbekk & Pere Perez.

After that, it’s Eddie Brock: Carnage by Charles Soule / Jesus Saiz. Is that Venom or Carnage and the answer is “spoilers.”

Also in the mix:

A Cluster of X

Mr. and Mrs. X  Nightcrawler  X-Men

Three X-Men family sales. We’re going to look at the more specialized parts of the sales and then some of the ususal suspects they’re pulling random volumes from.

Rogue and Gambit

And the usual suspects

Unannounced Sales

Creepy  It's a Magical World: A Calvin and Hobbes Collection

Dark Horse now has a Creepy / Eerie sale.

Creepy was the first one and is available in both archive  format and “Creepy Presents” volumes spotlighting individual artists (Alex Toth, Bernie Wrightson, Richard Corben, Steve Ditko).

Comixology (at Amazon) Sales: Supergirl, Superman, Lobo, Department of Truth, Plants Vs. Zombies

In this week’s Comixology (at Amazon) sales, DC brings back the Supergirl (and Superman and Lobo) sale. Plus, Department of Truth and Plants Vs. Zombies.

Discounts of Steel

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow  Superman Love and Mercy  Lobo

The DC Summer of Supergirl Sale runs through Monday, 8/10.

If you’re thinking “didn’t they have this sale in June?” your memory is correct. But hey, we’re not arguing with some of the $4.99 prices they’ve got mixed into the sale.

Supergirl

Something about a film…

First, the one that seems most directly related to the film: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King & Bilquis Evely.

Superman

Lobo

Something about that same film.

  • Lobo (’90) – Alan Grant / Keith Giffen / Simon Bisley

One of the somewhat rare ’80s reprints that we’ve enjoyed is Superman: The Phantom Zone by Steve Gerber and Gene Colan. This is a very odd, horror-flavored Superman tale as he confronts something unnatural that’s been living in the Phantom Zone… but you weren’t expecting Gerber & Colan to give you the ’50s TV version, were you?

Superman Smashes the Klan has Gene Yang and Gurihiru revisiting and revising the original Superman radio show arc, “Clan of the Fiery Cross.” It’s on the YA side of Superman, but has picked up a LOT of good reviews.

Superman, the current series by Josh Williamson and Jamal Campbell is also on sale and it’s a good one.

Lobo by Giffen/Grant/Bisley is really good stuff… as long as you have a dark sense of humor and aren’t easily offended.

Unannounced Sales

Plants vs. Zombies  The Department of Truth Complete Conspiracy Deluxe Edition Vol. 1 The Road: A Graphic Novel Adaptation

As always, it isn’t clear when the unannounced sales will end.

DC Shows Some “Spirit”

Absolute Batman  Absolute Wonder Woman  Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen: Who Killed Jimmy Olsen?

The DC Comic-Con Eisner Sale runs through Monday, 8/3.

It’s been a couple minutes since DC had a formal SDCC sale? Welcome back.

Pretty much everything in this sale is something we’ve enjoyed or that we’ve heard good things about and in on the to-be-read list. You know we don’t say that every week, but here we are.

First: let’s look at the highlights:

What’s better than the rest? That’s tough with the above.

Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen: Who Killed Jimmy Olsen? is a comedic masterpiece. Absolute Martian Manhunter  is something to behold, perhaps our favorite Absolute series. Absolute Wonder Woman is a couple cuts above, too. If you like horror, John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America is excellet.  The current King/Sampere Wonder Woman run is impressively dark, too.

It’s hard to go wrong with this sale.

Batman Returns

Batman: The Court of Owls  Detective Comics by Tynion  Detective Comics

The DC Batman in July Sale runs through Monday, 7/20.

Now there’s something you don’t see every day: DC running back to back sales. It’s been awhile.

This is a more abbreviated Bat-sale than others we’ve seen and concentrates more on New 52/Rebirth to present.

Here are the bullets:

  • Batman (’11-’16) – The Scott Snyder/Greg Capullo run
  • Batman (’16-’25) – starts with the Tom King era and the discounts run midway through the Zdarsky run.
  • Batman and Robin (’22 – present) – intially Joshua Williamson / Simone Di Meo
  • Detective Comics (’16-current) – initially James Tynion IV / Eddy Barrows / Alvaro Martinez

What’s under-rated here? We’d say a couple of those Detective runs. The Tynion / Barrows / Martinez run that started that volume of Detective is something of a Batman Family arc. We’re also big fans of the gothic horror arc by Ram V / Rafael Albuquerque / Ivan Reis that starts here.

Super Soldier Sale

Captain America: Secret Empire  Captain America Heroes Return  Captain America

The Marvel Independence Day Sale runs through Monday, 7/27.

Looks like Marvel’s current posting schedule caused them to post the Independence Day sale after the holiday. Nothing like proper planning and being aware of the calendar, eh?

There’s a lot of material to cover here, so we’ll go with the usual format and start by breaking out the major series involved:

So… do you think Captain America gets relaunched enough? The current Chip Zdarsky relaunch isn’t even in the sale (and we enjoy it).

Some recommendations? Absolutely.

For Silver/Bronze Age adventures,  “Captain America Lives Again“ catches the bulk of the early Lee/Kirby run. Jump ahead to “Hero or Hoax,” which you’re getting for the final arc, which begins the superlative Steve Englehart/Sal Buscema era. “The Secret Empire” is the bulk of the Englehart/Buscema run. “The Man Who Sold The United States” wraps up Englehart/Buscema and includes Madbomb, the beginning of Jack Kirby’s return run that is way more timely than it should be in the age of social media outrage.

Jump ahead to “By Dawn’s Early Light,” which you’re looking at for the all too brief Roger Stern / John Byrne run.  The highlight of the J.M. DeMatties / Mike Zeck run is their wrap up with the Red Skull in “Sturm und Drang.”

“The Captain“ is the sequence from the Mark Gruenwald run where Steve Rogers loses the shield and his Captain America identity for a time. That’s the famous one. You might consider backing up a volume for “Justice is Served,” which introduces the Super-Patriot and leads into the more famous sequence a bit.

Once you get past around the middle of the Gruenwald run, your best of the best is anything written by Mark Waid or Ed Brubaker, and know that Brubaker’s first run is basically one long and epic story – and be sure to get Reborn or you’re missing a piece.

But wait… you want more?  Sure.

All-Winners Comics – The Golden Age series that culminates with the All-Winners Squad, the Cap/Torch/Subby/Whizzer/Ms. America group that inspired The Invaders.

Speaking of that, there’s Invaders Classic, which collects the 70s series of the WII adventures of Captain America, Submariner and original Human Torch. (The Whizzer and Ms. America show up towards the end.)

More? How about some Winter Soldier?

Winter Soldier by Ed Brubaker, which is Brubaker and Butch Guice in a spin-off from their classic Cap run.

Also of possible interest:

And a bonus recommendation:

  • U.S.Agent: American Zealot – Christopher Priest / Georges Jeanty; In something of a deadpan political satire, John Walker develops some issues with his handlers when sent to a small town threatened by a corporate entity… if only the optics matched reality. Smart, but you figured that with Priest involved.

Spooky Season Comes Early?

Immortal Hulk  Tomb of Dracula  Moon Knight

The Marvel Summerween Horror Sale runs through Monday, 7/27.

There’s more than a little horror on sale this week. Marvel’s entry in the trend is collection of mini-sales:

Doctor Strange

Dracula

  • Tomb of Dracula – Marv Wolfman / Gene Colan; One of the best Marvel books of the ’70s

Ghost Rider

Hulk

We really like the Johnson/Klein Hulk and Immortal Hulk was an instant classic.

Moon Knight

The original Moon Knight run is mostly in Epic Collections, but it’s in two separate links because… well, we shouldn’t be surprised by this, should we?  The first link has two volumes that are not closely related. Bad Moon Rising is the Werewolf by Night appearances through the backups in Hulk Magazine and the first issues of 1980 solo series. The other volume in that link… we’re not as big on. That was later volumes.

You can go here for the rest of the 1980 Moon Knight series, which was the most famous version for quite some time. If you came into the character through the TV series, know that the original Moon Knight was a lot closer to Batman and The Shadow. Oh, sure the werewolf showed up, but most of the mystical things around Konshu were kept in the background and a lot more mysterious. The multiple identities were originally more like the cover identities adopted by the Shadow (and the original series editor, Denny O’Neil, adapted The Shadow for DC). This is where Moon Knight got popular. Pity the “main” volume is mysteriously omitted from discounts…

We also have been enjoying the current Jed MacKay/Alessandro Cappuccio Moon Knight series. This one takes up the unenviable task of rationalizing the various incarnations over the years (and there have been a lot of different takes on the character). Mr. Knight is in therapy for his multiple personality issues. He’s running the Midnight Mission and conduct himself as Konshu’s ambassador… after a fashion, although he’s not really happy with Konshu. And there are vampires. Lots of vampires.

Marvel being Marvel, this was then relaunched as Vengeance Of The Moon Knight with the same creators.

The novelist corner:

And the Rest of the Gang

…And Frightened Miss Muffet Away

Amazing Spider-Man Masterworks   Spider-Man Brand New Day Omnibus  Superior Foes of Spider-Man

The Marvel Select Spider-Man Sale runs through Monday, 7/27.

This is a fairly eclectic swatch of volumes from various Spidey runs:

What’s good here?

The Superior Foes of Spider-Man is straight up hilarious and under-rated.

We also think you’re pretty safe with Gerry Conway, Len Wein and the Brand New Day rotation.

Going Down in Flames as a Form of Progression Fantasy

X-Men: The Fate of the Phoenix  Phoenix Rising  Phoenix

The Marvel Phoenix Sale runs through Monday, 7/20.

Jean Grey, if you prefer.

For many, the character is defined by “The Dark Phoenix Saga,” arguably the high point of an already great run by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. Pick up X-Men Epic Collection: The Fate Of The Phoenix and get “Days of Future Past” in the same package.

Then Jean/Phoenix was dead for several years. Phoenix Rising is slightly mislabeled as being an X-Men book. The resurrection of Jean Grey is the birth of X-Factor, which crosses over with Fantastic Four and Avengers for the tale. Which means you get John Byrne, Roger Stern, John Buscema, Bob Layton and Butch Guice all contributing to the tale.

New X-Men is the Grant Morrison run with a fairly sick rotating cast of artists including Frank Quitely, Leinil Francis Yu, Igor Kordey, John Paul Leon, Phil Jimenez, Chris Bachalo and Marc Silvestri. As you’ve doubtless heard, it’s a very good run.

The recent Phoenix series is by Stephanie Phillips / Alessandro Miracolo and is more of a cosmic adventures series.

Some other sale highlights:

Apocalypse Now?

House of X / Powers of X  X-Force  X of Swords

The Marvel Apocalypse Sale runs through Monday, 7/27.

It’s a villain sale, which means the listings are a bit all over the map. Let’s hit some highlights:

What’s good? Not the first thing you’d think of when you hear “Apocalypse,” necessarily, but the Remender Uncanny X-Force run is dark run with a distinctive personality and quite the artist rotation. We think it had emerged from under the radar by the end of the series but it isn’t always discussed today.

Running with the Devil

Devil Dinosaur by Jack Kirby: The Complete Collection  Moon Girl  Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

The Marvel Devil Dinosaur Sale runs through Monday, 7/27.

If you’re curious about  the original 70s Jack Kirby series, it’s right here.

Then there isn’t just a ton of material until Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur pops up.

These larger page count editions of the Amy Reeder / Brandon Montclare / Natacha Bustos main series are the better buy.

Moon Girl: Endangered Species is a collection of team-up issues outside the main title.

The DC Summer of Supergirl Sale runs through Monday, 7/6.

Yes, DC’s having another corporate synergy sale as the movie release is imminent. And if you look at the content, it’s as much a Superman sale as a Supergirl sale. “House of El” and all. The sale prices are a little more “normal” than some of the previous sales, so we’ll take that as a positive.
