Previews Spotlight #081 (Jul->Sep) Deadline: Sat AM, Jul 5

Post by JohnMayo »

Previews will be coming out on Wednesday, June 25th. The deadline for sending in submissions to the Previews Spotlight is the crack of dawn on Saturday, July 5th. (Yes, this is in the middle of the 4th of July weekend.)

The earlier you send in submissions, the happier I'll be. If you think of more you'd like to talk about after you've sent in submissions, feel free to send more in clips.

Please post which comics you will be sending in submissions for here on this thread with the full title and issue number. That way we can reduce the number of duplicate submissions and maximize the number of different items that are covered. If someone has already posted that they will be covering something you are passionate about discussing, we are okay with more than one submission for the item but want that to be the exceptional case.

Remember: Anyone can send in a short audio clip talking about any book in the upcoming Previews (or slated for release around that same time). This includes creators, publishers and other people directly involved in the project. This is your chance to promote items, including ones you have worked on.

The email address to send the clips to is TheGuys@ComicBookPage.com.

A couple of quick things that help out a lot in the organizing and producing of the episode:

Please featured item in a separate audio file. Exceptions can be made but the episode covers items in the order they are in Previews so listeners can follow along in Previews if they want to.

If possible, please follow the naming convention of:
p###-[M###-]ItemName-YourName.mp3

p###-: the page number in Previews (ex: an item on page 80 would start with p080-)
M###-: If the item is in the Marvel Previews, use the first even page number in Previews for Marvel with the page number in the Marvel Previews.
If the item is not in the Marvel Previews, skip the M###- part of the file naming convention.
ItemName: This is the name of the item. We need is enough to determine which item it is.
YourName: All we need here is enough to properly credit you in the show notes.
Please do not include spaces in the filename. Not all of the tools we use to prep the clips for the episode handle spaces in filenames gracefully.

If it is something not in Previews (like The Private Eye), use 888 for the page number and be sure to include a URL or whatever information might be needed to get the item for I can include that in the show notes if needed.

So, essentially, it use this:
p000-[M000-]ItemName-YourName.mp3

p000-: placeholder for the page number in Previews
M###-: placeholder for the page number in Marvel Previews.
If the item is not in the Marvel Previews, skip the M###- part of the file naming convention.
ItemName: This is the name of the item. We need is enough to determine which item it is. The more complete this is, the better. Capitalize the first letter of each word and don't include spaces or punctuation. For example, "WolverineAndTheXMen1".
YourName: All we need here is enough to properly credit you in the show notes.

Please do not include spaces in the filename. Not all of the tools I use to prepare the clips for the episode handle spaces or other odd things in filenames gracefully.

At the very least, please include the full name of the item in the filename so it can be properly listed in the show notes. If you don't know the page number, that is fine. Just leave it off. But having the full name of the item the clip is for makes it much easier for us to organize the files and prepare for recording the episode.

If you have a link you'd like me to include in the show notes, include both your name and the link it in the email to me and I'll add it to the system I use for doing the show notes.

Re: Previews Spotlight #081 (Jul->Sep) Deadline: Sat AM, Jul

Post by JohnMayo »

Here are the Comic Book Page picks for the July 2014 Previews that I'll be featuring on the Previews Spotlight episode. For a change of pace, I decided to focus on the back half of Previews this time around.


AAZURN PUBLISHING

NUMBER ONE #1
(W) Gary Scott Beatty (A/CA) Aaron Warner
Comic shop owner isn't a job, it's a calling, in this full color, done-in-one-issue story exploring 50 years of comic book history! Comics helped Steve through some tough times growing up and he turned his love of the medium into a comic shop business. But is it worth the toll it takes on his family? “A personal story that's also a fun and fascinating walk through the history of comics retailing. A great read,” wrote John Jackson Miller. The return of Aaron “Adventures of Aaron” Warner to comic book illustration! (STK649478)
32pgs, FC $3.99

ABRAMS COMICARTS

THE WARREN COMMISSION REPORT
(W) Ernie Colón, Dan Mishkin (A/CA) Ernie Colón, Jerzy Drozd
Within days of the murder of President John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson appointed a seven-member commission to investigate the assassination. In its report, the Warren Commission determined that there was "no credible evidence" conflicting with its conclusion of a lone gunman. The Warren Commission Report: A Graphic Investigation into the Kennedy Assassination breaks down how decisions in the days that followed the assassination not only shaped how the commission reconstructed events but also helped foster the conspiracy theories that play a part in American politics to this day. (STK648169) (C: 0-1-0)
SOFTCOVER—SC, 6x9, 160pgs, FC $17.95

BLISS ON TAP

FUTURE PROOF #1
(W) Brian Phillipson, Alex Murillo (A/CA) Alex Cormack
Future Proof is an on-going, bi-monthly series which follows two outcast agents who are recruited into a systematic one-way journey back through time where ultimately their actions allow for the most monumental events in history to take place. We jump right into the action as the two agents get caught up in the middle of one of the greatest conspiracies of all time — the Kennedy assassination. Any wrong move will change the future as we know it. (STK649185)
28pgs, FC $3.99


BOOM! STUDIOS

GEORGE PÉREZ’S SIRENS #1 (OF 6)
(W/A) George Pérez (CA) A: George Pérez Wraparound; B: Cameron Stewart
WHY WE LOVE IT: The name George Pérez should say it all, but we are beyond excited to work with one of comics’ living masters on his own original title. He’s worked on great female characters like Wonder Woman and Scarlet Witch, but this, a team of female heroes of his own creation, had us swooning.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: It’s a sci-fi adventure story that spans time and space, featuring a team of female heroes that kick butt across the universe. If you like strong female sci-fi characters like Battlestar Galactica’s Starbuck, Star Wars’ Princess Leia, and Alien’s Ripley, you’ll find a lot to love about GEORGE PÉREZ’S SIRENS!
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: As an intergalactic force enslaves planets across the galaxy, the legendary team known only as the Sirens must reunite to save the galaxy—but is that even possible when the Sirens themselves don’t even remember who they are? And the rest of the universe only remembers them as…villains? A sixissue miniseries featuring your new favorite comic book team, written and drawn by the master himself, George Pérez (Wonder Woman, JLA Vs. Avengers) begins his greatest story yet.
FC, 32pgs (1 of 6) $3.99

CLOAKS #1
(W) Caleb Monroe (A) Mariano Navarro (CA) W. Scott Forbes
WHY WE LOVE IT: Who doesn’t love a good magic trick? From HEXED, to HUNTER’S FORTUNE, to THE LAST BROADCAST, we’ve always had a few tricks up our sleeves, and CLOAKS continues the tradition with a Black Ops twist.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Caleb Monroe (STEED AND MRS. PEEL, Batman) and artist Mariano Navarro (PROTOCOL: ORPHANS) bring you the Robin Hood of Wall Street, combining street magicians with a spy-fi thriller.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: In the Big Apple, a highly skilled street illusionist named Adam blows the minds of crowds with logic-defying acts, while surreptitiously using his artistry to steal from corrupt Wall Street investment bankers and redistribute their illbegotten wealth to those in need. He’s a modern-day Robin Hood, but his travails garner the attention of the local authorities. While evading their pursuit, Adam is confronted by three suits and quickly ascertains that freedom has a cost — in order to maintain his liberty, he must join this clandestine Black Ops organization simply known as CLOAKS.
FC, 32pgs $3.99

Archaia

BUTTERFLY #1
(W) Arash Amel, Marguerite Bennett (A) Antonio Fuso
(CA) Phil Noto
WHY WE LOVE IT: We’ve all spent hours glued to episodes of shows like True Detective and House of Cards that explore deeply flawed and morally complex characters. In BUTTERFLY, screenwriter Arash Amel (Grace of Monaco, Erased) brings that aesthetic to comics and the espionage genre, exploring the true nature of people who devote their lives to covert ops and the deceit, solitude, and violence that comes with it.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Marguerite Bennett has been making a name for herself with her work on Lois Lane, Batgirl, and Earth 2: World’s End and we can’t wait for fans to see how she explores the dark world of spycraft. There’s no one better in the espionage genre than Antonio Fuso, the artist behind the critically acclaimed run of GI Joe: Cobra. It’s the perfect creative team for a morally complex story of violence and family set in the web of a global conspiracy.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Butterfly is one of Project Delta's deep cover agents, no birth certificate, no social security number, a complete ghost. When her cover is blown and she is set up for a murder she did not commit, she is unknowingly led to her father’s doorstep, a man she thought died 20 years ago. Codenamed Nightingale, her father was once a member of the very same Project Delta, a spy in the violent aftermath of the Cold War, and believes they are behind her setup. Trained to trust nothing and no one, Butterfly must decide whether to seek answers with the Project, or believe the man who betrayed her years ago.
FC, 32pgs (1 of 4) $3.99


DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

THE BIONIC WOMAN: SEASON FOUR #1
(W) Brandon Jerwa (A) David T. Cabrera (CA) Sean Chen
Continuing from the TV series, comes The Bionic Woman: Season 4! Jaime Sommers — THE BIONIC WOMAN — has earned a classic series continuation of her own! Jaime is trying to balance the hope of a normal life with her life as a government agent... but when you work for the O.S.I., even a routine mission to Mexico can prove to be far more dangerous than anyone expected!
FC, 32pgs $3.99

TITAN COMICS

DOCTOR WHO: THE TWELFTH DOCTOR #1
(W) Robbie Morrison (A) Dave Taylor (CA) Alice X Zhang
As the eighth series of Doctor Who hits BBC America, don't miss the stunning debut of the twelfth Doctor's all-new comics adventures! Freshly regenerated and with a new head full of unanswered questions, the Doctor whisks Clara Oswald away to a strange and distant world. Clara thought she was in for an evening of marking essays, followed by a date, if things went well. Instead, she's facing down murderous alien fauna in her best dress, without a clue what the Doctor is searching for, or what is going to try to kill them should they find it! Offering shocks, surprises, and timestream-shaking revelations, don't miss your chance to get on board this amazing ongoing series! (STK648639)
ALICE ZHANG COVER—32pgs, FC $3.99
SUBSCRIPTION PHOTO COVER—32pgs, FC $3.99
BLANK SKETCH COVER—32pgs, FC $3.99


VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT

DEATH-DEFYING DR. MIRAGE #1
(W) Jen Van Meter (A) Roberto de la Torre (CA) Travel Foreman
Death was just the beginning... Doctor Mirage talks to the dead…but the only spirit Shan Fong can't find is that of her late husband, Hwen. Instead, America's favorite semi-retired paranormal investigator is haunted and raw, using her gift to solve homicides and bring peace to the recently bereaved. But when a big-time occultist with a classified military past hires her for a special job, Shan discovers a lead that might close the greatest mystery she's ever tackled – how to get Hwen back. Now, Doctor Mirage must enter the undiscovered country and cross all the realms of the underworld, if she has any hope of rescuing the man she loves…or be forever lost beyond the earthly plane. ?
