MIND MGMT Is On The Mind (Again) On The Wednesday Run – May 23, 2012
Last week I told you to stay at home and not make the Wednesday run to your local comic book shop – crazy head games, huh?!? Instead, I said that all you had to do was hit the internet superhighway and make your way to Dark Horse Digital and pick up the free online prequel comic book, MIND MGMT: Secret Files #’s 1-3.
Well today, get on your horse and visit your bricks and mortar comic book shop because the highly anticipated first hardcopy issue of the new MIND MGMT monthly series is waiting for eager hands to thumb through. You know, old school style!
There are actually a number of interesting comics out this week. Marvel Comics has Astonishing X-Men #50 wherein Canadian Alpha Flight hero, Northstar, proposes to his beau, Kyle. DC Comics publishes the first issue return of Grant Morrison’s Batman Incorporated #1 as well as the Absolute version of Batman: Dark Victory. Speaking of dark, Dark Horse Comics has the return of Dean Motter’s beloved Mister X in the pages of Dark Horse Presents #12. But it’s MIND MGMT, also published by Dark Horse that’s got hold of my <a-hem> mind.
Prequel Series MIND MGMT: Secret Files Digitally Concludes On The Wednesday Run – May 16, 2012
Here’s the thing about making the weekly Wednesday run to your local comic book shop: even though there are hundreds of new and great comic books, graphic novels and sequential art books to choose from on the store shelves, you’re still bound to miss something really interesting.
No. It’s not because the comic shop has sold out of a popular release, or that they forgot to order a hipster-in-the-know one-shot. Nope. It’s because, as I’m sure you’re very much aware, all the great stuff in this art form doesn’t necessarily see print these days.
And that’s why today, I’m suggesting you stay home. Instead of hitting the busy downtown corridor, hit the internet superhighway and make your way to Dark Horse Digital.
Trailer Time: Total Recall
I can’t possibly be the only person who thinks we really didn’t need a remake/reboot/whatever of 1990′s Total Recall, am I? That movie may be 22 years old but it still kicks some serious ass. That being said, the trailer for the Len Wiseman directed, Colin Farrell staring flick due out this August does look like a hell of a lot of fun, and it has a stellar cast, including Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biehl, Bryan Cranston and Bill Nighy. Perhaps this version will incorporate more of the Philip K. Dick story? Time will tell.
Check out the trailer after the jump and let us know if this is a film you’ll be adding Total Recall to your list of summer blockbuster flicks to see.
