Marvel Announces Superior Iron Man

MARVEL PROUDLY ANNOUNCES SUPERIOR IRON MAN!

New York, NY – July 17th, 2014 – Marvel is proud to announce the release of Superior Iron Man #1 by series writer Tom Taylor (Injustice: Gods Among Us) and series artist Yildiray Çinar (Supergirl).

The Devastator to Debut Pizza & Mega Man Books at SDCC

The Debut of Pizza and Mega Man Books!

Only at The Devastator  •  Booth F-03  •  Aisle 800

 
The Devastator is bringing the two best things in life to this year's Comic-Con: pizza and Mega Man! Two new books from Devastator Press make their convention debut...

Buffalo Speedway: The Deep Dish Omnibus is an extra large collection of the hit indie comic by Disney Art Director Yehudi Mercado. Follow the off-beat drivers of Houston's Turbo Pizza on June 17th, 1994: the busiest pizza day in history. In one day, there was the World Cup, the NBA Finals and OJ Simpson went on the run. It's a true slice-of-life story, as the drivers chase destiny, make history and go from pizza boys to pizza men.

The Enemies of Twenty-Something Mega Man is a parody mini-book by comedian Asterios Kokkinos (The Nerdist, Maximum Fun). This year, Mega Man turns 27. To celebrate, Dr. Wily created a set of sinister robots to annoy the shit out of him, based on the worst kinds of people we meet in our twenties. Can Mega Man defeat Unsolicited Diet Advice Man? Nonchalant Cocaine Use Man? Too Many Kickstarters Man? To stop them all, you'll need this handy field guide! (And probably Metal Blade.)
