News http://backend.userland.com/rss http://heroicimages.net/images/logo.jpg http://heroicimages.net/ http://heroicimages.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=86 So very sad to report that Michael Turner passed away June 27th at the all too young age of 37. He was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma, a bone-based cancer that attacks the cartilage, in March of 2000. He battled his illness bravely, making convention appearances throughout the entire time. Born in Crossville, Tennessee, Michael began his comic book career at Top Cow Productions. He started off doing background illustrations, but soon helped to create and launch the comic book series Witchblade in October of 1995. Michael went on to debut his first creator owned series, Fathom, in the summer of 1998. He departed Top Cow Productions in 2002 to start his own publishing company, Aspen MLT. Turner and Aspen have collaborated with DC Comics on several projects including Superman: Godfall, Superman/Batman, Identity Crisis, and Justice League of America. His work has also graced many of Marvel Comics' covers the past couple of years including the variant covers to the Civil War mini-series. Popular with members of the comic book industry and fans alike, Michael Turner will be sorely missed. Condolences to his family can be sent to: Aspen MLT, Inc. C/O Michael Turner 5855 Green Valley Circle, Suite 111 Culver City, CA, 90230 Anyone wishing to make a charitable donation in Michael Turner's memory should send them to his requested charities: The American Cancer Society or The Make-A-Wish Foundation. Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:50:50 GMT http://heroicimages.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=85 The Secret Six are back! Most of the team first put together in the pages of Villains United, and last seen in the Secret Six mini-series, are back in a new monthly. Who will join Catman, Scandal, Ragman, and Deadshot? All the details will be filled in by writer extraordinaire Gail Simone, and her former Birds of Prey penciller Nicola Scott. Don't miss the beginning of the most ferocious and scandalous Six story yet! Be sure to check out all the great stuff coming from DC in September, and feel free to discuss them in the HI! Forum. Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:57:30 GMT http://heroicimages.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=84 Spotlight on Superman this month. Who doesn't love Superman? Catwoman certainly looks quite fond of him on the cover to THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #16! And Big Blue can be seen in many other titles shipping from DC in August. The one I think will really rock is FINAL CRISIS: SUPERMAN BEYOND #1, part one of a 2-issue Superman adventure. Writer Grant Morrison and artist Doug Mahnke will take you on an unforgettable, hyperdelic journey from the streets of Metropolis, through the 52 worlds of the multiverse. This issue also includes a pair of 3-D glasses so you can fully enjoy the 3-D section filled with eye-popping visuals and mind-boggling glimpses into the mysteries behind FINAL CRISIS! Another Superman title not to be missed this month is ALL STAR SUPERMAN #12, the final chapter of the incredible twelve issue run by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. In my humble opinion, this has been the best Superman series I've ever read. If you haven't been picking it up, I would definitely recommend purchasing the collected editions. Be sure to check out all the "super" DC comics coming in August, and feel free to discuss them in the HI! Forum. Mon, 19 May 2008 18:00:00 GMT http://heroicimages.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=83 Now that Final Crisis is in full swing, it's time for some tie-in titles to make the scene. This month we have Final Crisis: Requiem, which is a one-shot honoring the passing of a great hero who’s been a staple in the DC Universe for years. The other is Final Crisis: Rogues’ Revenge, a three issue mini written by Geoff Johns with art by Scott Kolins. What's a Crisis without a Flash in peril? I love the Rogues, and their lives have been pretty tough since they murdered Bart Allen. Will they finally catch a break? I doubt it, but it should be a fun read. Be sure to check out all the DC comics coming in July, and feel free to discuss them in the HI! Forum. Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:00:00 GMT http://heroicimages.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=82 Summer has arrived, and I declare this to be the summer of the Dark Knight! This movie is going to be big, and DC Direct is putting out some awesome looking collectibles to celebrate Batman's return to the big screen. Visit the gallery to see the action figures, statues, and movie prop replicas that any fan would be proud to own. Other merchandise from DC Direct this month include Batman and Wonder Woman posters, Batman Black & White statues, action figures from the World of Warcraft, and much more, including a working Bat-Signal I would love to make use of! Be sure to check out all the DC comics coming in June, and feel free to discuss them in the HI! Forum. Mon, 17 Mar 2008 05:00:00 GMT http://heroicimages.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=81 It's the FINAL CRISIS!!! Will it really be the final one? Who knows, but we do know that DC's Final Crisis gets underway at the end of the month. You'll also find a few new titles that tie into the big event, along with a few new ones that don't. Cyborg, Rann/Thanagar: Holy War, The Huntress: Year One, are just some of the #1's you'll be seeing in May. So, enjoy those fantastic covers, and feel free to discuss them in the HI! Forum. Tue, 19 Feb 2008 22:13:30 GMT http://heroicimages.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=80 Lot's of great stuff coming from DC in April! It was hard to decide what to highlight here, but I'm going with the DC/Wildstorm: Dreamwar crossover miniseries written by Keith Giffen. There's always plenty of action when two universes collide, and you can count on Giffen to deliver plenty of mayhem over the six issues this runs. Also this month: Countdown and Death of the New Gods come to their ends, the new Titans series begins, and Grant Morrison brings us Batman R.I.P. in the pages of Batman! Enjoy those fantastic covers, and discuss in the HI! Forum. Mon, 21 Jan 2008 23:35:24 GMT http://heroicimages.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=79 Finally got those March covers to load in the gallery. Only took about a month, but I figured out what the problem was, so the April covers should be added on time next week. March gives us the return of the Blue and Gold team, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle together again! Yep, time traveling Booster, and a trio of Blue Beetles, managed to save Ted Kord from Maxwell Lord. I would love to see Ted back in the DCU, but I have a bad feeling things aren't going to work out. Let's enjoy it while we can, and hope for the best. Enjoy the covers, and discuss in the HI! Forum.

Hopefully this will work for everyone. Since so many users have been unable to log in to their account, I've opened up the gallery to allow everyone to view full sized versions of the pictures without being logged in. We're still trying to figure out the problem, and will hopefully have it solved soon. Thu, 22 Nov 2007 08:24:05 GMT http://heroicimages.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=77 Gonna put the February spotlight on the Teen Titans, specifically, the new Tiny Titans series. Features all your favorite Titans in their cutest possible form! Co-created by Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani, kids and adults should both enjoy this fun new comic. I for one can't wait to see the kinds of mischief those little imps get into. Other Titan titles this month include Teen Titans #56, which involves an attack on Titans Tower by a new and deadly Bolt. Teen Titans: Year 1 #2 will focus on Aqualad. There's also the final issue of the Wonder Girl six issue mini series to round out your Titans fix for the month. Be sure to visit the HI! Forums to see the titles for February which didn't include covers, and check out some of the other topics while you're there. We'd love to here from ya! Thu, 22 Nov 2007 08:16:06 GMT
