Bartman(1993)

Bartman was a short-lived series that told the tale of Bart Simpson’s superhero alter-ego, Bartman. It was one of the four ‘premiere’ series released by Bongo Comics in late 1993. The Bartman series lasted only six issues, and was canceled in 1995. Many smaller Bartman stories have since been published in Simpsons Comics and Bart Simpson comics.

The main writers and artists for the first three issues were Steve Vance and Bill Morrison, who were behind the creation of Bongo Comics itself. In late 1994, Steve Vance and his wife Cindy left Bongo Comics. The Bartman comic was put on hold and there was a gap of 9 months between Bartman #3 and #4. #4-6 contained a three-issue story arc written by Gary Glasberg and Bill Morrison, and with issue 6, Bartman was discontinued.

Power Records (1974)

Power Records was a record label, featuring characters licensed from DC Comics and Marvel Comics, and contemporary movies and television series (such as KojakPlanet of the ApesThe Six Million Dollar ManSpace: 1999, and Star Trek), in stories geared toward older children. The book-and-record sets frequently featured original 20-page comic books along with an extended-play 7″ record of the story. Playing the record while reading along in the book brought the story to life through music and sound effects. There were also other 7″ single releases. Besides book-and-record sets, LPs were produced, featuring the recorded stories without illustrations. As of 2010, none of the Power Records material has been re-released for CD or digital media due to copyright issues.

She Hulk V2 (2005)

With the original creative team (Dan Slott and Juan Bobillo) from the previous series, the book returned eight months later as promised in October 2005. The third issue was billed as the 100th issue of a She-Hulk comic book, and had story art by numerous artists, including Vosburg. There was no new artwork by Buscema or Byrne, who were represented by reprints of Sensational She-Hulk #1 and Savage She-Hulk #1.

Dan Slott’s last issue is #21; with 33 issues, Slott has written the most solo issues of She-Hulk. Peter David became the new writer with She-Hulk #22. Marvel Comics announced that She-Hulk #38 (February 2009) would be the final issue of the series. Peter David commented on his blog that sales of the book were hurt due to discrepancies between his book and Jeph Loeb‘s Hulk series, caused by editorial error.

Forgotten Realms: Homeland (2005)

Based on the best selling Forgotten Realms novel by R.A. Salvatore, Homeland is a volume full of intrigue, beauty and the struggle for position. Based in the underground drow city of Menzoberranzan, this story begins the legend of the dark elf ranger Drizzt Do’urden, and his struggle to find himself in a world whose practices and beliefs do not match what he finds in his heart.

The Infinity Crusade (1993)

Infinity Crusade is a six-issue limited series published by Marvel Comics in 1993. The series was written by Jim Starlin and penciled by Ron Lim, Ian Laughlin, Al Milgrom and Jack Morelli.

It is a sequel to Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War, both from the same creative team.

When hero Adam Warlock takes possession of the artifact the Infinity Gauntlet, he expels the good and evil aspects of his being to become a totally logical being, who can therefore use the Gauntlet wisely. This act not only freed the incarnation of his evil aspects, Warlock’s old foe the Magus, but also created an incarnation of his good aspects, the Goddess. During the events of the Infinity War, the Goddess steals the five cosmic containment units (also known as Cosmic Cubes) collected by the Magus. She eventually collects a total of thirty, and uses these to form a “Cosmic Egg” capable of fulfilling wishes.

Baron Karza (1977)

While much of the initial Micronaut toy line offerings were simply repackaged versions of Takara Microman equivalents, some items in the Micronaut toy line were original Mego creations that used, modified and reconfigured parts from existing Takara toys—not just Microman items—in creative new ways. For example, the larger, 6.5-inch (17 cm) magnetic action figures—and companion horses—named Baron Karza and Force Commander were simply re-colorings of the magnemo Kotetsu Jeeg action figures with newly designed heads.

 

 

Star Wars: Darth Maul (2000)

The criminal organization Black Sun is feared across the galaxy. There is very little that their power and corruption do not influence. But now the tables are turned as the scheming Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, has sent his merciless enforcer, Darth Maul, to make sure that Black Sun stays out of his affairs. Gaining entrance to Black Sun, Maul works his way to the inner sanctum of the organization — and that’s when the destruction begins!

Kong of Skull Island (2016)

Kong of Skull Island is a twelve-issue comic book series published by BOOM! Studios from 2016 to 2017. It is an official prequel to Merian C. Cooper’s King Kong, a 2005 rewrite of the novelization of the original 1933 King Kong film by Joe DeVito and Brad Strickland, and part of DeVito’s Kong of Skull Island property.

Kong of Skull Island was revealed on April 7, 2016 in an interview with writer James Asmus conducted by Comic Book Resources. In the interview, Asmus revealed that the comic would be illustrated by Carlos Magno, known for his work on several Planet of the Apes comics. Asmus stated that when developing the idea for the comic, he approached the estate of Merian C. Cooper, Kong’s original creator, to discuss the official King Kong mythos and determine a point in time to focus the story around. Asmus said he was interested by the idea that the natives actually fled to Skull Island, and decided to have the comic focus on this time in the mythos. The comic was originally envisioned as a six-issue limited series, but following publication of the second issue, BOOM! Studios announced that it would be upgraded to an ongoing series.
