October Club: Planet Hulk

Next month's Comics Club selection will be Planet Hulk (not to be confused with Planet Rock, which is also awesome.) This Hardcover collection contains the lead up to this summer's blockbuster Marvel event, World War Hulk.

Club members will get at 25% discount on the Planet Hulk hardcover - an extra 5% off!

For details on the book and next month's club, contact Heroes & Dragons at 803-731-4376 (803-731-HERO)

TONIGHT @ THE VILLA: CIVIL WAR!!!!

In case you didn't know, tonight at 7:30pm at the Villia the H&D Comics Club will be meeting for our discussion on Civil War.

WHOSE SIDE WERE YOU ON?

Call (803) 731-HERO (4376) for directions and meeting times.

To forewarn you, Chris and I will be talking about how the best thing to come out of Civil War was Archie Comic's Civil Chore!

EVEN AN IRON MAN...CAN CRY

Well, by now, you've read the story, played with the action figures, washed with the bath soap, and worn the t-shirt, so you might as well be at the Villa this Thursday to talk about it when Comic Club dares to ask:

WHOSE SIDE WERE YOU ON?

Call (803) 731-HERO (4376) for directions and meeting times.

COMIC CLUB BUILD UP

Hey, don't forget! Our next meeting is next Thursday, September 6th, 2007 at 7:30PM at The Villa, located at 1704 Bush River Rd. If you need directions, feel free to call the store at (803) 731-4376.

One thing about Civil War that I found strange pretty early on, was the promise of the definitive Captain America / Iron Man fight, announced as if we'd all been sitting around for years waiting to see these two go at it. Weird, huh?

What do you want to read next?

One of the struggles at the end of each club is to figure out what to read for next month. So what are some suggestions for our October meeting? Post them in the comments, and we'll put up a vote/poll later.

I'll throw one out - a collection of the Waid/Ringo Flash run (assuming it's in print)

Any others?

CIVIL WAR - THE PITCH

Over at Marvel(dot)com, Tom Brevoort's done several entries on his Blah, Blah, Blog focusing on the early development stages of Civil War.

If you've got an hour or so to kill (and hey, who doesn't, right?) head on over here for Mark Millar's initial CW pitch with Marvel EIC Joe Quesada and Brevoort himself providing feedback, and then here for the first couple pages of Millar's prototype script for #1.

I found it interesting how CW went from being a 12 issue maxi-series to a 7 issue mini, but still tried to shoehorn in most of the same beats.

Some interesting notes on Thor, the Hulk (seems WWH was supposed to end up happening in CW, becoming the event that reunites the heroes), Simon "Wonder Man" Williams' bid for Congress, and the eventual fate of Captain America.

September Comics Club: CIvil War

On Thursday September 6, Comics Club will be meeting to discuss the Marvel Mega Crossover Event, Civil War.

Love it or hate it, Civil War had people talking about (and buying) Marvel Comics. Come out in September and talk about what you did or didn't like about the series, how you feel it impacted the Marvel Universe, and what you think about the Event book in general.

If you need a copy of Civil War, stop by Heroes and Dragons and pick up the rescent TPB collection of the seven issue series.
