THE FRESHMAN YEAR SAGA CONTINUES THIS ISSUE!

"FRESHMAN YEAR: WINTER TERM", Part 3 of 5
In the tradition of “Batman: Year One,” “Superman: the Man of Steel” and the Marvel Ultimates comes the biggest Archie Comics event since the “Love Showdown!” The third full-length issue of the “Freshman Year” saga finds Archie reflecting on the term just past, pining over Veronica and lamenting how she went away during the holiday break. Hoping to stay close to Veronica, Archie joins the drama club – the perfect indoor activity during the frosty winter months. But being part of such a large club is hardly the way to gain exclusive quality time with Veronica. Will their reunion be everything Archie hopes, or will the eternal love triangle get off to a rollicking start with friction between Betty and Veronica instead? And will Moose ever be introduced to Midge? Other surprises in store for the gang this second term include some new faculty members as well as the departure of the expelled school bully, Jared McGerk. It’s the funniest first year of high school ever, courtesy of fan-favorite writer Batton Lash of “Wolff & Byrd” and “Archie Meets the Punisher” fame, along with “Scrapyard Detectives” creator and popular Archie artist/writer Bill Galvan.

FLASH GORDON VOLUME 6 #1

Publisher: Ardden Entertainment
Writers: Brendan Deneen
Pencils: Paul Green
Covers: Paul Green
Letters: Richard Emms

Ardden Entertainment launches its brand new ongoing FLASH GORDON series in August and as a special sneak peek at the new series, the fledgling publishing company has provided a six page preview of the debut issue.

It's been over 13 years since Flash graced the pages of comic books and this contemporized version of the classic iconic sci-fi hero, written for the 21st century, already has comic fans in a frenzy.

As a sample of things to come, Ardden released a special issue zero at the New York Comic-Con in April, selling 3250 copies in a day and a half. The issue zero featured an exclusive Ming the "Merciful" and Prince Barin story - and gained many great reviews from fans, retailers and web-based forums.

Writer and co-publisher Brendan Deneen, previously a production & development executive for The Weinstein Company & Dimension Films, and now a literary agent based in New York City, gives an insight to what this new series will offer fans of Flash Gordon and newcomers to the world of Mongo.

"While remaining true to the spirit of Alex Raymond's incredible creations, I'm looking to craft a story and world where our unsuspecting heroes come face-to-face with unimaginable threats and breathtaking landscapes (aided in no small part by Paul Green's amazing artwork). At the same time, the civil war on Mongo, and Ming's certainty that he is doing what's right for the 'insurgents' battling him, will ring true to anyone who's been paying attention to world events over the last five or so years."

A mysterious curse lingers, following Conan as he attempts to return to his homeland, and a great darkness looms ahead in the doomed city of Yaralet.

A great evil from Conan's past moves ever closer while unfathomable terrors awaken and come into view. Conan is, of course, eager to meet both head on!

* "[Truman] knows Conan. He knows how the barbarian speaks. He knows how he acts. He knows how he swings his blade and thinks at the same time. Conan has been written as little more than mindless eye candy . . . [but] never by Truman. He has love and respect for the character and this comes through in every issue he scribes."

NOTHING NICE TO SAY TP

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
By: Mitch Clem

Punk-rock culture has a rich, longstanding tradition of anger, nihilism, and good old-fashioned suburban teenage angst, and no one is more headstrong and humorless about punk rock than the punks themselves.

Enter Nothing Nice to Say.

Mitch Clem's Nothing Nice to Say leaves no mohawked, leather-jacket-clad stone unturned in its mission to expose the awesomeness and the absurdity of punk culture. Sometimes esoteric and always hilarious, Nothing Nice is so punk you'll think the book was bound with safety pins.

* The Nothing Nice to Say website sees about 10,000 hits per day.

* Mentioned in Scott McCloud's Making Comics as an example of comics using the web to create "an explosion of diverse genres and styles."

* "I'm a big fan" -Dan Yemin (Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Paint it Black)

SOLOMON KANE VOLUME 2 #1

Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Writers: Scott Allie
Pencils: Mario Guevara
Covers: Joe Kubert, John Cassaday
Colorists: Dave Stewart

Robert E. Howard's vengeance-obsessed puritan begins his supernatural adventures in the haunted Black Forest of Germany in this five-issue adaptation of Howard's "The Castle of the Devil."

When Solomon Kane stumbles upon the body of a boy hanged from a rickety gallows, he goes after the man responsible--a baron feared by the peasants from miles around. Something far worse than the devilish baron or the terrible, intelligent wolf that prowls the woods lies hidden in the ruined monastery beneath the baron's castle, where a devil-worshipping priest died in chains centuries ago.

Dark Horse's original Conan editor, Scott Allie, writes the series, with art by Mario Guevara and Dave Stewart, who reinvents his revolutionary color technique from Conan.

WOLVERINE: ROAR (One-Shot)

Publisher: Marvel Comics
Writers: Duane Swierczynski
Pencils:Mike Deodato
Covers: Mike Deodato
Inkers: Mike Deodato
Colorists: Val Staples
Letters: Jeff Powell

A self-contained, double-sized one-shot written by Duane Swierzynski (Cable) and illustrated by Mike Deodato (Wolverine: Origins)! All Logan wanted was a place to stop for a cool drink and listen to absolutely nothing for a while. Well, at least he got his second wish. Because in Roamer, New Mexico (population 342, and falling fast) there’s a savage creature with revenge in its heart, and a roar that can blow out the eardrums of any living being within a mile…except for Logan, of course, whose regenerative abilities bring his hearing back after a minute. But “a minute” is not soon enough — not when you have zero sense of balance and there’s a bloodthirsty creature that you can’t hear coming. A creature that won’t stop until Roamer is wiped off the face of the earth. A creature who wants the last thing you hear to be the sound of your own screams…
