Aw Heeeeeeeeeeeell No!

Today, the news leaked out, and I mean ALL THE NEWS leaked out, of the  Marvel Comics titles line-up post Secret Wars. Some of them were expected, some of them were surprises, others were plain out head-scratchers. Case in point, this book:

Um, what? There's only ONE Spaceknight, and it sure isn't Venom. You know who he is:

I'll be honest, I'll try the book just to see if it in anyway connects to the original Rom: Spaceknight, but I doubt it will. We can hope, at least.
-But, IF there's a Rom-shaped hole in your life, and let's be honest-there is, you're in luck! TODAY IDW Publishing brings us ONYX!!!! Now, this is NOT a Rom copycat, far from it, but there are enough similarities to make you happy. Also, it's a fucking AWESOME comic!

You can read my review of the comic over at Geeks of Doom, and further down the road, you'll get a more in-depth look at the title, but this is one you DEFINITELY need to pick up!!!!

ECCC: ONYX will be your new favorite comic!!

This summer, things are going to get a little......congested. With a about 500 Secret Wars titles coming from Marvel and DC putting out old new versions of their new characters (wait, does that even make sense?), comic store shelves might be a little too packed and you might be a little confused about some things. The cure? ONYX, coming this July from IDW. It's the title that's going to stand out from the rest this summer, I promise you. Coming from the mind of writer Chris Ryall and artist Gabriel Rodriguez, here's the lowdown on this 4 issue mini-series.

"Onyx' tells the tale of a female metal-suited warrior who comes to Earth on a quest to either save the planet or destroy it. It’s up to a team of super-soldiers to figure out which before it’s too late, and before a much greater threat overwhelms both them and the planet itself"
-BUT, we don't have to wait until July to get a look at this book. In May, a 5 page stand alone story, Onyx #0 will be included in many of your favorite IDW comics. Stay tuned RIGHT HERE, for a TON of coverage on this awesome upcoming title. OK, look, you know I always try and give you something special, and if you promise not to tell anyone, I'll give you a special look at that awesome cover.....

I know, right? Gorgeous!! And yes, this is officially the first creator owned title that I'm absolutely overboard excited about.

PS-Any toy customizers out there think they can take a stab at making an ONYX figure? Hit me up!
