The “Ice Cream Man” Summer Scoop: New Sickly Sweet Flavors Coming Soon

Posted on June 7, 2025 by admin

The delectable, 2025 Eisner Award nominated series by creators W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, and Chris O’Halloran returns with a tasty tale of terror this July

Listen for the ear-worm jingle of the Ice Cream truck as it pulls up to the curb with a sickly sweet new Summer scoop…The darkly inventive, critically acclaimed comic book series by creators W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, Chris O’Halloran, and Good Old Neon will return with a yummy new tale of terror, Ice Cream Man #44, in July and the Ice Cream Man, Vol. 11 trade paperback collected edition in September from Image Comics.

This tantalizing tale will center around a job performance review gone wrong. Additional upcoming issues of the anthology will feature a twisted Hitchcockian Rear Window homage, a completely creepy tale of cryogenic anti-aging chambers, and a series of vintage medical ads that downplay some pretty shocking side effects.

“Golly. I can’t believe we’ve been putting this book out for 7.5 years,” said Prince. “In comic time, I think that makes us officially geriatric. And so, speaking as a veritable sequential grandpa, I’ll tell you this: I still don’t quite understand how and why we have made it this far. I mean, I am so proud of the corpus of tales we’ve assembled; Ice Cream Man is the defining artistic project of my life. (And I think I can probably say the same for my co-creators).”

Elton John Joins Graphic Novel Reimagining of Oz Universe

Posted on June 3, 2025 by admin

Legendary musician Sir Elton John is lending his voice to a bold new graphic novel reimagining the world of Oz, writing the foreword for Ultimate OZ Universe: Vol. 1 – The Lost Lands. The book, set to be released on November 12 by AWA Studios, marks the launch of a sweeping new take on L. Frank Baum’s classic fantasy realm.

The 144-page graphic novel, co-written by comic veteran Cullen Bunn and songwriter Larry King, explores hidden corners and forgotten lore from Baum’s original 14-book series. With artwork by Mike Deodato Jr. and contributions from Oz historians, the project aims to expand the canon rather than reinvent it.

“This is not fan fiction,” said AWA Chief Creative Officer Axel Alonso. “This is a canon-faithful exploration of Oz beyond what most people know.”

The release comes amid renewed cultural interest in Oz, following a successful film adaptation of Wicked and the continued popularity of The Wizard of Oz. The Lost Lands will be available in both print and digital formats, enhanced with video footnotes, original music, and behind-the-scenes features.

Elton John, who has long cited Oz as an inspiration—including for his song “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”—described the new series as a continuation of the magic that captivated him in childhood.

More volumes and potential film adaptations are already in development.
