Comic Book News

Have you all been reading "Battle of the Planets: Princess"? It's the third in (hopefully) a set of five stories focusing on one member of G-Force. During the comic book's regular 12-issue run, a one-shot for Mark and a one-shot for Jason was released. This, however, has been a six-issue mini-series for Princess. Last week, Issue #5 was released. The only thing I don't like about it is it's in black and white. Let me tell you, there are some frames of Princess in outfits we've never seen before that a screaming to be in color! But, it's still great to have "Battle of the Planets" comics coming out.

After "Princess" wraps up in April, a two story arc called "Battle of the Planets: Coup de Gras" will begin in June. This will conclude the story that left us with a cliffhanger at the end of Issue #12. If you read it, you probably still have your jaw on the floor, and if not...go get it! Editor Scott Tucker said us fans are going to be very surprised how the story wraps up.

At this point, there are no plans for anything after July, but if sales are decent, we can hopefully expect at least a Keyop mini-series and a Tiny mini-series.

 

Why am I getting a bad feeling about this??

BTW, Mark, I presume you mean `Coupe de Grace`??

And we all know what `that` means....

Ominous....

 

Actually, it is "Coup de Gras"...whatever that means.

 

coup de grâce - n. (kü-de-'gräs) - a death blow or shot administered to end the suffering of one mortally wounded [French - literally, a “blow of mercy"]

Interesting choice of words, n'est ce pas?
