Some interesting (and not-so-interesting) TV, movie, and game crossovers into comics coming out in June. I can't wait to read Shadow Puppets!
TV
- Spike : Shadow Puppets #1 (IDW, mini)
Smile Time is back!! This time, it's Spike and Lorne against the evil children's show. - Stargate SG-1 2007 Special (Pulsar Press, One-Shot)
16-page comic, available in 7 difference covers.
Movies
- Beneath the Valley of the Rage (Fangoria Comics, 4-part mini)
Prequel to the horror film, The Rage. - Frank Miller's Robocop (Pulsar Press, TPB)
The story Miller intended to tell before his script went through the Hollywood editing process. - Predator Omnibus vol 1 (Dark Horse, TPB)
440-page collection of several Predator graphic novels and other stories. - Shaun of the Dead (IDW, TPB)
"Director's Cut" adaptation of the hilarious film. - Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace Photo Comic (Dark Horse, one-shot)
Is it just me, or does this seem like an easy way to make a buck? Instead of actually going to the trouble to drawing a comic, how about we just take shots from the movie, and stick in dialogue from the movie? Voila! Instant comic book with hardly any work involved. - Terminator 2: Infinity #1 (Dynamite, mini?)
See what it was like from the future side of the story.
Animation
- Batman: Harley & Ivy (DC, TPB)
Collecting the original mini, the story Love on the Lam, and a newly colored story pulled from Batman Black and White.
Games
- Bloodrayne: Red Blood Run #1 (Digital Webbing, 3-part mini)
More from the vampire-fighting video game world. - Street Fighter II: The Manga, vol 1 of 3 (Udon Entertainment, TPB)
Any Street Fighter II story is cool, as long as Blanka's in it.
Did I miss anything you'll be getting?
An interesting bit of news from last month's listing: Jimmy Palmiotti talked to Sci Fi Wire about the Fox Atomic comic he wrote - The Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning. Sci Fi Wire asked Palmiotti about using that comic as the source material for a prequel movie. Jimmy replied, "They would be mentally retarded if they didn't." Yeah - I used to call people "retarded" - when I was 12. Nice job, Jimmy.
So, maybe my maturity came a bit later than that, but shouldn't people that talk to the press take some kind of sensitivity training?

I bought all the issues of the Shaun of the Dead comic when it came out. It's great stuff if you liked the movie. Me, I LOVED it.
By the way, I did end up signing up for the Supernatural comic Jim. I'll let you know what I think when it ships next month.
Thanks!
And great - now I'll have to pick up another trade :) That film cracked me up...
