The April Previews came out last week for Comics being released in June. Because of DC’s Rebirth, DC information won’t be with this issue of Previews.

I am going to pick out a few issues from Previews that I think will be good choices.

From Dark Horse comics there is Cryptocracy #1 written by Van Jensen with Art by Pete Woods (Deadpool, Catwoman, Superman, and Action Comics). A blend of the X-Files and Marvel’s A.I.M.! The art looks good and the story line seems interesting.

From IDW is Action Man #1. This is written by John Barber and art by Paolo Villanelli. Action Man looks interesting to me and I will be surprised if it is not a hit.  — The creators of Lock and Key are back together to bring you Tales from the Darkside #1. Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriquez  first bring you The Sleepwalker.

One book that I am very excited about is Midnight of the Soul from Image Comics. This is a new book from writer/artist Howard Chaykin. Chaykin’s art is some of the most captivating in the industry. — Another book put out by Image Comics that I think has great story and art by Brian Haberlin is Faster than Light. If you are not getting this book, you need to.

Aftershock comics doesn’t seem to be catching on fire like a lot of other comics. I think that could change with the Revisionist #1. A story about Fathers, Sons, and Time Travel! How can you go wrong there? Presented to you by Frank Barbiere (Five Ghosts, and Avengers World) and Garry Brown (Black Road, the Massive). I am really looking forward to this. — Don’t miss any of the other books put out by Aftershock. They are all wonderful. Don’t miss Jackpot, Dreaming Eagles, Superzero, Second Sight, Strayer, B.E.K., or Rough Riders. They are all on my hit list.

Let us not forget the new comic from American Mythlogy, The Land That Time Forgot #1. I am looking forward to a story that we are familiar with from Edgar Rice Burroughs with a twist by writer Mike Wolfer. The art by Giancarlo Caracuzza looks interesting.

Dynamite brings a new police drama by Andy Diggle & Angela Cruickshank with art by Andrea Mutti. Control #1 looks promising. Join Detective-Sergeant Kate Burnham as she navigates the Washington DC Police Department.

This big sleeper series of the summer, I believe, will be Valiant’s 4001 a.d. Story by Matt Kindt and art by Clayton Crain. Issue two is discussed in this month’s issue of Previews. Don’t miss it. — Archer and Armstrong continues to be a good read.

From the Marvel House of Ideas comes a few issues that I like. First is Thunderbolts #2. I have always enjoyed the Thunderbolts and I think this new series written by Jim Zub and art by Jon Malin will pick up where the last Thunderbolts left off. With excitement. Jim Zub has an amazing imagination and puts out wonderful stories. Enjoy this pick. — One comic that is not getting much press is Marvel’s Squadron Supreme. James Robinson is crafting a tale that is interesting and intriguing. With art to back it up by Leonard Kirk, Paul Neary and Paolo Villanelli you should not be missing this title. Issue #8 is being solicited for the June release. — I am a fan of the new Mockingbird. Even though I have only read issue #1, I think this will be a hit series for Marvel. Issue #4 is up with story by Chelsea Cain and art by Kate Niemczyk and the guest star is Hawkeye. — Deadpool and the Mercs for Money #5 of 5. GET IT! — Finely Han Solo is getting his own comic. It is about time. Issue #1 premiers with story by Marjorie Liu and art by Mark Brooks. This might only be a mini-series, but it will be a big mini-series. Don’t miss out as back issue prices on this one will sky rocket.

I will discuss the June releases by D.C. when their Rebirth solicitations catalog comes out. (Batman #1)
