Coming to the pages of Geek-Girl!

Hi, artist C Granda, colorist Chunlin Zhao, letterer Paul McLaren, and myself (creator/writer) have been working on new Geek-Girl stuff for awhile, and we're ready to share a sneak peek at some of what's coming GG's way!
Geek-Girl's life flashes before her eyes as she takes on Identity Thief – who wants to BE her! Get ready for Fake Geek-Girl!

Former League of Larcenists members Chromex and Numb Nuts, along with Dog Woman, are attempting to free The League's boss Pig Head and form a new League!

And, aiming to get super-powers so she can join Geek-Girl's new team, Ruby Kaye's BFF Summer hooks up with members of the power-sharing Hive - but she doesn't know what she's in for!

How do you follow Deadpool & Wolverine? With Deadpool's death!


Deadpool Editor's note: "This [September's Deadpool #6] is the first issue of a new era and killing Deadpool NOW would an INSANE thing to do. Which is exactly why we're doing it."

You can check out the full scoop in Comic Book Resources' newly-dropped video here!

Cabra Cini: Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman #0 Deluxe live on Kickstarter


No longer willing to let her boyfriend/pimp treat her like dirt, Cabra Cini got lethal payback with the help of voodoo magik - and liked it. Voodoo became her new addiction and Cabra has cleaned up her act and forged a deadly new vocation…

Cabra Cini routinely utilizes her magik to access a dimension called The Infinite - 'Limbo's crazy cousin, locked away in the attic' - which for those who trespass upon it can serve as a dimensional gateway between where they are and wherever they want to go. A boon for Cabra in finding her 'hits'. But the ruler of The Infinite, The Rook, doesn't like Cabra abusing his dimension this way - and throws everything he can at her, physically and mentally, to 'dissuade' her from doing so.


NOW: Drug-dealer Jacob Trencher has been robbed, shot and left for dead - but using his occult magik he has survived: and hired Cabra Cini to find the person responsible and take care of things... which is going to put Cabra on a collision course with 'It girl' turned Superheroine Geek-Girl, as that person is a member of Geek-Girl's new Super-Team!

Cabra Cini: Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman #0 Deluxe is a Double-Sized issue, featuring Cabra Cini: Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman #0 - including Cabra Cini's origin story, for the first time with Color by Chunlin Zhao; and all of Cabra's appearances and related sub-plots from Geek-Girl #5-#9 - leading to the Cabra Cini Voodoo: Junkie Hitwoman Mini-Series and forthcoming Cabra Cini/Geek-Girl Crossover.

Cabra Cini: Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman #0 Deluxe is available on Kickstarter - along with all other issues of Cabra Cini - here!

Deadpool #1 Review (2022)


(Right-click on images and open link in new tab to enlarge)

It's the first issue of my favorite Marvel character Deadpool's new ongoing series, and I've been looking forward to this...

Wade Wilson is invited by The Atelier - a secret society of exclusive, highly-paid, glamourous assassins - to join their ranks if he can complete the task they assign him: kill Doctor Octopus within 48 Hours.

Another of my Marvel fav.s since his days as the Superior Spider-Man, Otto Octavius is gonna be a tough kill - even for someone with the Merc with a Mouth's skills - but there's a complication; en route to taking out Ock, Deadpool is kidnapped by the plantlife-controlling Harrower, and injected with a strain of Carnage symbiote.
The Harrower found the symbiote in a barely-alive state following the events of Absolute Carnage, and is looking for an incubator that - together with Harrower's powers of biofusion and biofission - can revitalize it and transform it into a creature capable of supplanting humans as Earth's dominant species. A creature that will follow The Harrower as its 'god'. Any attempts at moulding the creature this way have failed as a result of it destroying any host body it was placed in - but The Harrower believes Wade's super-healing-factor will be the solution to this problem.

Deadpool #1 artist Martin Coccolo has worked on the MwaM before in the Deadpool: Black, White & Red Mini-Series - but writer Alyssa Wong is - as far as I'm aware - a new voice to Deadpool. And she nails his voice right out of the gate.

Wong's going 'R' with Deadpool, which comes with a parental advisory rating, most notably on account of a couple of risque jokes that might go under the radar of a younger reader, were it not for Wade pointing a metaphorical arrow at one of them; and with what Deadpool now has growing in him, gore is guaranteed.

The briskly-paced Extra-Sized debut issue jumps back and forth in its timeline - briefly introducing us to the members of The Atelier along the way - some of whom look intriguingly weird, and one of whom - Valentine Vuong - is set up as Wade's potential new love interest. Deadpool's after-the-fact embarrasment at the pickup line he uses on her providing the funniest gag in the book, followed by him brainstorming and rejecting 'better' cringey pickup lines.

The art by Martin Coccolo is solid, Neeraj Menon's color art sometimes a little 'pencily'-looking - but all in all it's an appealing debut for this creative team: with an intriguing potential new direction for the Merc with a Mouth.

Though Wong seems to have Deadpool's character down, though - I'm not certain she has Doctor Octopus', with the few lines uttered by Ock during his brief appearance seeming out of character for him.

Doctor Octopus versus Deadpool is a fun concept that I hope Wong delivers well when it comes to fruition in issue #2 - which I will certainly be back for...
