247 Comics Announces First Year Cast of Creators Including Justin Jordan, Brian Buccellato, Brian Ching, and More!

Newly Announced Publisher and Content Studio Puts Creators First With A New and More Sustainable Business Model Than Any Competitor Last month, the publisher with a mission to change the landscape of comics publishing announced that their first title would be created by Sean Chen, who 30 years earlier led the creative charge of one of modern comics' greatest disruptors: Valiant Entertainment, and moving on to widely acclaimed runs on some of Marvel and DC’s most well-known characters. Now, following the announcement of this inaugural title, 247 announces the next wave of creators leading a change in not only the way that comics are published but the way that creators are paid for their work. The future of 247 Comics' output will be guided by the community who will have unique access to the creative process and creators themselves as well as the ability to monetize their own contributions and their collectibles along the way. 247 Comics Publisher Carl Choi says “Hollywood Mov...

An Epic Teen Superhero Adventure Begins in 'The Savage Strength of Starstorm' This May

Vampirella Takes on a Legion of Heroes in New Series by Dan Abnett and Pasquale Qualano

  This May, Dynamite is proud to roll out a new chapter in the Powers Saga by superstar writer Dan Abnett, as he brings Vampirella to the forefront once more for a thrilling new title that fully questions whether the Daughter of Drakulon can fill a traditional superhero role, in Vampirella vs. The Superpowers ! It's full-throttle throwback action, as fan-favorite artist Pasquale Qualano ( DC vs. Vampires ) joins Abnett for an adventure that finds Vampirella and her new trusty sidekick Dyna Might investigating a mysterious world. This planet appears strangely similar to our own Earth of the 1940s. That includes crime and corruption, but also in the Superpowers mythos, a legion of Golden Age superheroes. They won't be taking too kindly to meddling from an interdimensional vampire alien either! “Vampirella’s last two outings as a superhero were very much at the supernatural and cosmic end of the scale,” said writer Dan Abnett. "So for this story, I wanted to capture more o...
