For this week’s preview, I bring you an awesome new all ages title from Boom Studios, Herobear and the Kid #1

It’s Picture Day at Tyler’s school, and naturally he’s forgotten! But before Tyler can pick his good side, he has to sneak out of class with his best friend Herobear to stop an attack on the Simpleton Bridge from the mysterious Von Klon and his Sub of Doom! . . . and he better not lose his hallpass in the process.

Don’t miss as creator Mike Kunkel relaunches his Eisner award winning creation at KaBOOM! with a brand new original adventure!

A few weeks ago, writer Jim Stalin revealed that DC almost killed Jimmy Olsen from AIDS back in the 80’s in an attempt to be hip and trendy. Fortunately, someone told them that was a horrible idea. To commemorate this news, we’re sharing a bunch of AIDS PSAs we found in old DC comic books.

Check them out after the jump, they are pretty hilarious.

A hero is only as good as his rogues gallery. Breaking up muggings and robberies is all well and good, but taking down a super villain and his diabolical machinations is an entirely different story.

OK, I know I’ve been a little lax here with the the Tuesday Previews of late, but I bring you a good one this week. The first issue of the comic adaption of the hit Cartoon Network show Regular Show.

Cartoon Network’s powerhouse series now has its own comic book series! Hot on the heels of the smash hit adaptation, ADVENTURE TIME, KaBOOM! unveils the next all-ages comic phenomenon! Join Mordecai the Bluejay and Rigby the Raccoon, a couple of best bros in their twenties just tryin’ to chill for a bit, man. But when you’re livin’ in as crazy a world as they are, no day can be called . . . Regular!

Don’t forget, tomorrow is the 11th annual Free Comic Book Day. There are all kinds of cool books availible at your Local Comic Book Shop, including books about Superman, Thanos, The Walking Dead, Aphrodite IX, Damsels, Aspen, all kinds of choices gear toward the kiddies like Sonic, Spongebob, and Bongo, and my favorite, a Steampunk version Wizard of Oz. You can see the full comic list and find a participating shop on the Free Comic Book Day site.

I missed out last week, getting myself sick at WrestleMania from the germs of 80000 people from all over the world, but I’m back with a vengeance this week. I’m big fans of genre swaps, so for this week’s Tuesday Preview I present the Witchblade: Day of The Outlaw one-shot from Image Comics. Sara Pezzini isn’t the first person to wield the Witchblade, there have been dozens of them throughout history. This one-shot focuses on Enola, a sheriff in the Old West. Sounds like a fun romp.

SHOWDOWN WITH THE WITCHBLADE OF THE WILD WEST!
In the days of the Wild West, before Sara Pezzini claimed her destiny, Witchblade bearer Sheriff Enola protected the high plains from the Darkness that lurked beyond the horizon. Although her townspeople lived in peace, they were always mistrusting of their sheriff-witch. With her town seeking to banish her and the Darkness angling for a duel, will the Witchblade be enough to save Enola from becoming a footnote in the annals of the blade’s history?

I’m a pretty big fan of Michael Avon Oeming’s artwork. So for this week’s Tuesday Preview, I bring you the first issue of the new Volume IV of Mice Templar: Legend.

Long ago, the valiant Templar destroyed themselves through a vicious civil war, allowing the bloodthirsty crusade of the tyrant king Icarus to destroy mouse culture. Yet the inspiring tale of the young mouse Karic promises to restore the fractured Templar and overthrow the mad king. But while some accept Karic as a prophecy for good, still others see his rising legend as an omen of evil.

Thus begins the climactic chapter in the epic saga of hope and despair, of tragedy and triumph, and where every secret will at last be revealed.

Check out the full preview after the jump.

Mars Attacks may have gotten all the attention and the big budget movie, but everyone knows the way cooler gruesome Topps card set has always been Dinosaurs Attack. In fact, Tim Burton was originally going to do a film adaptation of Dinosaurs Attack, but Jurassic Park came out, and he didn’t think he could sell a gory dark comedy version of dinosaurs after that, and instead pursued Mars Attacks. Dinosaurs Attack had a surprising deep back story for a card set with only 55 cards that was aimed at children. It involved a bunch of time travel and predestination paradoxes, and dinosaur demons and people making the ultimate sacrifice to save the world, and was supposed to be flushed out even further in a comic book series by Eclipse Comics back in 1991. Unfortunately, that story was never finished and was canceled after just one issue. That is, until now. IDW is going to reprint that one issue, as well as finish the story. I for one, welcome our new dinosaur overlords, as I actually own this issue, and the full card set (including the sticker set!), and have been totally bummed the series was canceled before it was finished since the day I picked it up in some random dollar box. You can read the full press release after the jump, and get nightmares from one of the sickest images ever sold to children, which still gives me goosebumps to this day.
