So Long 2014... |
 COMICBOOKMAN SEZ:
As we enter the final hours of 2014, I was going to write up a Year in Review
for this weeks newsletter. Then I thought to myself, "Hey, it's the end of the
year and news is slow. Our resident newshound Bocepheus isn't doing
anything, why don't I dump it on him?" Hocus Pocus Razz-ma-dokus, he pops one out
and there we are. Now I can devote a little more time to getting the 1214
Previews order out the door, and you get Bo's cogent thoughts on the last twelve
months. It's a win-win! So, let me wish everyone a happy and safe New Year and
take it away Bo... |
|
 BO
SEZ: December is
coming to a close, and it’s time to look back at what's happened over the last
year and try to put it all into a little perspective. By the way, in case you
hadn't heard, I do the news for the store's website and you can access various
topics by clicking on the links attached to the different news icons below. Just
hover your mouse over them, you'll see. I break the news itself down into
three categories:Comic/Movie/Brawling, because really, what other subjects are
important to report on? Within each of those three categories I work on three
types of news. Comic News is either Marvel, DC or Indy. Media is either Comic
Movie/TV, Franchises or just general Media News. Brawling is either WWE, MMA or
just general Squared Circle 'rassling news. There's about a year's worth of news
stories currently on each of these nine pages. Bon Appitite.
 DC: The biggest news coming out of the company was actually the announced
move from New York to Burbank, California so the folks at Warners could keep a
closer eye on them. The move had some long time employees decide to leave the
industry, work at Marvel or pack up and learn to love oranges. DC announced
Convergence, which will show characters in pre-New 52 continuity in stories to
keep something on the racks while the final moves are made since their big idea
was to not publish for two months before someone at Warners told them no. Behind
the scenes, Warners won their attempt to maintain the copyright to Superman. 2015
should be interesting, as a mandate has been sent out to come up with books in
the vein of Harley Quinn.
 MARVEL: Marvel’s plan for 2014 was All New, which restarted and
reimagined characters but tried not to ignore what had made the characters
interesting. For the most part, the idea has worked - even though some of the
titles didn’t sell. The company also did a series of events, both large and
small. Marvel continued their tradition of raiding DC for talent by picking
up Charles Soule, Jeff Lemire, G. Willow Wilson and a host of others. The
biggest behind the scenes news was the settlement over the Kirby family’s claim
that they were co-owners of Marvel’s copyrights. Both parties settled which
rumors have the Kirby family netting 30 million dollars. 2015 will bring us Time
Runs Out, a new Secret Wars limited series and the end of Fantastic Four so Fox
can’t take advantage of a comic on the racks while the stinker of a movie is in
theaters.
 INDY: The words, ‘the promise of Image’ were often thrown around when the
company was formed but I don’t think it occurred to anyone that promise would be
coming from the office of Jim Valentino. Valentino runs Image Central, home of
the most interesting comic offerings anywhere. Fatale, Low, Bitch Planet,
Southern Bastards all come from there. Valiant has also given us some well told,
well drawn titles. Dark Horse and Dynamite keep plugging along as well.
 FOUR COLOR: Marvel dominated the movie world while DC did the same on TV.
Guardians of the Galaxy supposedly came out of nowhere, and Marvel had a hunch
that proved right. Arrow and Flash are often the best shows on their respective
nights but DC didn’t seem to figure out that movies were where the money was
made until this year when they announced their upcoming superhero slate which
includes: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman,
Justice League, Aquaman, The Flash, Shazam and Cyborg. DC had all the buzz that
went along with such an announcement until Marvel announced Phase Three which included: Captain
America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor: Ragnarok,
Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War Part 1, Captain Marvel and Inhumans. Sony
spent half the year defending Amazing Spider-Man (which wasn’t that bad) and Fox
hit a home run with X-Men: Days of Future Past while trying to ignore the
backlash from the Fantastic Four casting.
 FRANCHISE:
Time precludes going into all the various Film Franchise I wrote about this
year. The big news would be Disney's moving forward into the past with Star Wars
Episode 7 and the "controversial" trailer they dropped on us last month. The
musical chairs at Paramount over the Star Trek creative team has also been a big
Franchise story this year. Due in no small part to Trek's 50th Anniversary
rapidly approaching. Look for these two and 007 to make big news in 2015.
Thankfully, it looks like I'm finally done with Tolkein news now that the Hobbit
is out.
 MEDIA: The biggest story of the year actually happened at the end with the
controversy over Sony’s The Interview. The comedic take on assassinating Korean
Leader Kim Jong Un led to the hacking of Sony’s computer network and the release
of a trove of secrets. The film was pulled then placed back on the schedule for
theaters willing to show it. Box office numbers were inconsistent with some
films making massive amounts of money and others dying a slow death. One major
event of the year was the expansion of non traditional formats for TV shows.
Amazon has a huge slate of TV projects starring Ron Pearlman and others while
Sony created the Play Station Network just to show an adaptation of Brian Bendis
and Mike Oeming’s Powers. Netflix has 5 Marvel projects coming in 2015 as well.
2K15, as of this moment, looks promising with quite a few interesting projects on
the way.
 WWE: Where do we start? Is it CM Punk being fired on his wedding day or Alberto
Del Rio leaving after slapping social media manager Cody Barbierri when he joked
about him cleaning up garbage? Is it Sting finally joining the WWE or
Undertaker losing to Brock Lesnar and perhaps wrestling his last match? Is it
the fact that NXT, the WWE developmental territory added a great deal of
international talent and is often booked better that what we see on TV? Or is it
the failure of the WWE Network to get to that one million subscribers level by now
and the death of PPV on Dish as well as Direct TV? I think I would go with the latter.
 MMA: The big dog in MMA is UFC and they went through a year where main events
were changed due to a series of never ending accidents. That led to smaller buy
rates and the signing of CM Punk because he will move the needle for any card
where he is placed. UFC also went through a series of drug failures that ended the careers of Chael
Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva. The Ultimate Fighter has, through no fault of its own,
become just another TV show, but the TV deal with Fox has placed more eyes on the
promotion. Bellator and World Series of Fighting have fought the good fight,
yet,
still remain the minor leagues of MMA. But Rhonda Rousey is everywhere and
that’s a very good thing.
 MISCELLANEOUS: TNA had a very interesting year. They lost a lot of talent due to
lack of funds, lost their home and are moving to Destination America - a
lower rated network. Additionally, they put on some great shows that no one watched and
so remain a company that Vince McMahon doesn’t consider competition. Ring of
Honor keeps plugging along but no one in Chicago can see their shows on TV.
Resistance Pro Wrestling had Billy Corgan only to lose him and their proposed AMC show
never happened. It’s sad that the only quality smaller promotion can only be
seen on the WWE Network when NXT comes on.
And that's 2014 |

accurate representation of the week in comics nationwide. |

Well, this is basically a
contractual obligation ship week. The industry has to send out something but
there's really nothing left to put on the trucks and ship across the
country. On top of that, what is arriving this week is larded up with parallel
variants out the wa-zoo. Thus creating the ridiculous situation of our 1st
Place Shipper in the Top 5 (Image Comics) really only sending
out two new titles, one of which is a reprint and the other arriving with seven
parallel variants to get them a top of the pile spot with nine books. The real top
shipper for the week is DC Comics with three original titles (each of
their current three weeklies) arriving this week and not a variant in sight for
any of them. In this case, redundancy trumps creativity and pushes DC down to
third place for the week. Anyway, there's not a lot to work with but for the
record here's how this weeks 21 titles (read as ten actual) break down on
the chart.... |

 NEW COMICS COST HOW MUCH?!?:
With a 21 issue data base to work from (and a lot of those being parallel
variants) there really isn't much point in analyzing the numbers for such a
small sample. Suffice to say
no matter what the price point, you save 15%

 THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS:
With only ten new titles shipping this week, suddenly every book becomes
important and worth a look. Our Book of the Week is is the Boom/IDW cross over
of the 20th Century Fox/Paramount franchise properties that make up STAR TREK
PLANET OF THE APES #1. As a child of the sixties, the names Kirk, Zaius,
Spock, Taylor, McCoy and Cornelius all appearing in one story is a dream team
come true. "Phasers on Stun/Ape Shall Not Kill Ape/Beam Me Up Scotty/It's a
Madhouse!" What more could anyone ask. Meanwhile at Marvel Mark Waid
and Carlos Pacheco have the thankless job of trying to get you to look past Jim
Steranko & fifty years of Nick Fury and instead embrace the lead brick that is
the TV version of SHIELD #1. Waid is coming off a great run of Daredevil
and Pacheco is a good artist, but I don't know. Marvel's other offering is ALL
NEW MIRACLEMAN ANNUAL #1 which could be special indeed because Joe Quesada
illustrates Grant Morrison's lost Miracleman story, a disturbing confrontation
prior to the Battle of London. Finally, something "new" on the Miracleman front.
Following on the heels of the EAST OF WEST WORLD ONE SHOT is this week's EAST
OF WEST #16, in which "THE APOCALYPSE: YEAR TWO" begins. The issue is
oversized and comes in eight (that's right EIGHT) parallel variant covers and
one special limited variant. |
