This issue of Undying Love may not have the artistic prowess of the previous issue, but there is more meaningful action, more character development and more disappointment. John Sargent is in love with the vampire Mei and sets out to kill her maker Sang-Ji to turn Mei back into a human. He sets out first in this issue for Club G-Boss, a vampire hangout and gets bitten by one of the vampires. Now he may become a creature of the night himself.
Well let’s hope this is better than Bendis’ attempt at the Halo franchise, it’s looks like Marvel and ABC are teaming up for a Castle graphic novel. Personally this sounds like a terrible idea and I have no idea who is actually going to buy this graphic novel. What’s really sad is that it’s Bendis writing it which just further shows that he’s out of original ideas.
Boom! has a lot of titles shipping in July so let’s just right into it! For 40 years comic fandom has thrilled to the exploits of Elric since his introduction in Marvel Comics’ Conan the Barbarian in the early 1970s. Neil Gaiman called Elric’s creator Michael Moorcock “my model for what a writer was” while Warren Ellis said he is one of the “eight core sites in my creative genome.” Now the godfather of the Multiverse teams up with hot New York Times bestseller Chris Roberson (SUPERMAN, iZOMBIE, STAN LEE’S STARBORN) for an ongoing series that sees a crisis break out across multiple worlds with Moorcock’s other two most famous fantasy franchise characters, Corum of the Scarlet Robe and Dorian Hawkmoon! The workings of Fate are being tampered across the Multiverse, upsetting the Cosmic Balance. Elric is on a quest to restore The Balance and save the Multiverse from ruin! Elric, Corum, and Hawkmoon are forced into action far and wide, but will they fight on the side of Law…or Chaos?
As discussed in a recent interview with MTV:Geek, Dark Horse announced that it would be collecting the critically acclaimed self-published series Chimichanga, from The Goon creator Eric Powell.

A lot of publishers are scared of releasing their newer issues in digital format because they don’t want to hurt their partnership with comic retailers. That’s why you rarely get a new issue of a Marvel book in digital. Well Dark Horse seems to understand the digital market better and how their stock moves in comic shops, because they are already releasing Dark Horse Presents #1 digitally. Pretty bold considering the second issue is due to drop within a couple of weeks, but possibly the right move considering retailers have more than likely sold all the issues they will at this point. What do you guys think?
