New X-News: Brian Wood gets 2 X-titles!

Greetings O ye geeks a-gathering!

I've got big news and even bigger laughs in store for you today!

As many of you know, it was recently announced that Marvel superstar writer and unquestionable (Trivial Trivia: thats the only word in english that has every single vowel in it!) master of the Avengers line of comics, Brian Michael Bendis, would be wrapping up his time with Marvels main superhero team franchise and be taking on some X-Men. Well I'll just say that on hearing it I was both elated and scared because I like the guy but Marvel has a tendency to give him EVERYTHING to write and that kills it because he's stretched too thin.

BUT now more news has come and given me a big sigh of relief for starters and a big whoop of joy to follow!

 You see at the recent WonderCon that was held, It was announced by the House Of Ideas (as Marvel like to call themselves) at their Next Big Thing panel that star scribe Brian Wood would (ok, can't help that, sorry) be taking the reins on

Special Review: Dark Horse Presents #8

Today folks, we have a very special review of a new comic released this past week. It's a single comic but is so huge and loaded with talented creators' work that we felt deserved a reviewing all its own. This edition of Dark Horse Presents is brought to you by various writers and artists including John Arcudi, Brian Wood, Howard Chaykin, Neal Adams, Andi Watson, Al Gordon, MJ Butler, Beau Smith, Duncan Fegredo, Geof Darrow, Kristian Donaldson, Thomas Yeates, Mark Wheatley, Eduardo Barreto and has been reviewed by one of our newest additions to the Comic Addicts family, Mr. Anubhav DasGupta:

I’ve been following DHP somewhat sporadically, and checked out this issue mainly because it carried a few Hellboy/BPRD and Beasts of Burden features, and although they were amazing (and probably the best of the bunch), I found myself staying back for a few more of the stories.

The Neal Adams and Howard Chaykin features just went over my head, but I guess that’s because I haven’t checked out the previous parts. But the post-apocalyptic Tarzan story (that celebrates the franchise’s 100^th anniversary), the Time-travel story, the aforementioned Hellboy epilogue and Beasts of Burden short are nothing shy of amazing. Writing and art on all of these are absolutely amazing, nothing short of brilliant.
