Good News, no F-bombs this time around. First we review Transformers 2. We got to see a sneak preview Monday night, by John Campbell Wow, been too long since Matt or I last posted on the site, but here's a fresh new episode to enjoy. Good News, no F-bombs this time around. First we review Transformers 2. We got to see a sneak preview Monday night, by now you've all seen it, but if not we give our almost spoiler free review. I want to change the score I gave it though. I had previously rated the first TF an 8, so I have to move TF2 down a couple points. I'd give it a 6, maybe a low 7 because while not great, it was enjoyable. News stories: Archaia studios sign with Henson to adapt Legend, Dark Crystal, Fragglerock, and more. Steve Rogers returns, kind of? Not really, in reprint heavy Cap 600. Reborn coming July 1. Sean McKeever's new Nomad series. Why? Why is Wildcat still alive? X-babies Return with Star Comics characters Spidey still married? Not an imaginary story! Not an alternate Reality! Ron Frenz gets lifetime achievement and it pisses me off! Bryan Fuller leaves Heroes. Again. Then we dive into the June Previews. And I plan to talk about PORN! okay, probably not. and Matt loves Ghostbusters a little too much.

The Vinyl Underground #1 Written by Si Spencer; Art by Simon Gane and Cameron Stewart; Cover by Sean Phillips In this fast-paced, ultra-cool ongoing crime-noir series, an unlikely quartet of occult detectives secretly solve crimes — from DJ crack bars in Camden to the elegant, high-society ballrooms that make up modern London. The Vinyl Underground is led by Morrison Shepherd, a D-list celebrity darling, soul DJ, and son of an ex-footballer. Fresh out of prison and off a nasty coke habit, Morrison is joined by a fellow ex-con named Perv, whose seizures give him clues to crimes long before the cops, and Leah, a gorgeous morgue assistant who leads a double life online and represents the brawn of the team. Morrison's ex-flame Abi is reluctantly forced to join the team when her father is implicated for murder. A young boy's head (with diamonds in the eye sockets) washes up on the edge of the Thames and seems to be connected to a series of ritual killings, a drug called Khat, and Muti magic. Can they get to the bottom of it?

Eight years have passed since the assassination of the benevolent Zhar Dadgar and the curious disappearance of his heir. Akhdar, Dadgar's villainous nephew, has usurped the Dozhakian throne and enslaved the Azurian people, igniting a civil war within the once peaceful kingdom. A prophecy foretells the coming of a stranger from a distant land who will vanquish the false king and restore the rightful ruler to the throne. Could Sinbad be that stranger, or is he merely a pawn in Akhdar's treacherous game?

Now, IDW Publishing is proud to present six standalone stories ("Anda's Game," "Sysadmins," "Craphound," "I, Robot," "After the Siege," and "Nimby") adapted from Doctorow's work, each featuring cover art by some of comics' top talents. Up first is "Anda's Game." For 12-year-old Anda, getting paid real money to kill the characters of players who were cheating in her favorite online computer game was a win-win situation. Until she found out who was paying her, and what those characters meant to the livelihood of children around the world. Award-winning artist Sam Kieth provides the debut issue's cover.
