Tom King didn’t write a comic book. He wrote a book. But it’s not a book about comic books. It’s a book that’s about what a lot of comic books are about: superheroes. In that book, he does have comics, drawn by none other than Tom Fowler, one of the resident geniuses in comics. Before being an author, King held the following positions: intern for Vertigo Comics, assistant to Chris Claremont, CIA counterterrorism officer. Yes, those are all true. And yet now, he’s written the story of a world where the superheroes have all given up their powers, and become less magnificent, and more mundane. Clearly the skies are no longer crowded. It’s a novel unlike any you’ve ever read before, but it’s not just a comic book story converted to prose. It’s also a much more beautiful package than a lot of novels you’ll see on the shelves.

Traveling through Arizona with his parents, writer Ben Truman got to thinking about scalps and the men who’d lost them. Had anyone ever survived a scalping? It’s a lurid question, but a perfectly reasonable one to ask Ben’s dad. Timothy Truman is well-versed in the darkest tales of the American west. He’s scripted and pencilled stories for legendary gunslingers like the Lone Ranger, Jonah Hex and real-life outlaw Simon Girty.

After doing all sorts of dark, twisted things in other genres of comics, Fialkov is bringing his mind to the world of superpowers, and The Last of the Greats #1 is the result. When the world needs the help of the one superbeing who can save them, it’s going to take a lot of convincing, since humanity was responsibly for killing all the others like him. He’s holding a grudge. Fialkov tells us all about it, and then lets you know that you have no idea what to expect. It also just so happens that you can read almost the entire first issue right here before you make it to the shop.

As we slide into week #2 of the DC Relaunch, one of the titles I’ve been the most anticipating is Grifter #1by Nathan Edmondson and Cafu. As far as I can tell from the various images we’ve seen, Grifter appears to be the main Wildstorm character getting the biggest push (i.e. His appearance along with the Justice League in the pages of Flashpoint #5 most notably). When I read Grifter #1 while visiting DC Comics’ offices, my initial thought was that it wasn’t what I expected and I really did enjoy it. I did have questions for writer Nathan Edmondson though and got the opportunity to talk to him for this episode of iFanboy – Don’t Miss. Be sure to check out the exclusive preview of Grifter #1 on iFanboy.com Grifter #1 Story by Nathan Edmondson Art by Cafu $2.99 – DC Comics Music Crew of One Samiam…

First up, Christopher Sebela tells us about Screamland #1 from Image Comics. Continuing a mini series from a few years back, the now-ongoing book takes a look at a Hollywood where the monsters are real, not just actors. Except they're just like actors.
