May '07 Previews Pop Culture Crossover

Much later than I planned, but nonetheless, here are some interesting new series, trades, and one-shots in May's Previews.

TV

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Omnibus Volume 2 (Dark Horse, TPB)
  Stories taking place during Seasons 1, 2, and 3 of the show.
• New Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero #1 (Dynamite, 6-issue mini)
  The first mission of the Battlestar - two years before the series started.
• Who Wants to be a Superhero: Feedback (Dark Horse, One-Shot)
  Based on the winner of Sci Fi's Who Wants to Be A Superhero?, I'm hoping the comic isn't as stupid as the show.

Movies

• 2001 Maniacs Special #1 (one-shot, Avatar)
  Just in time for the 2001 Maniacs sequel (Beverly Hellbillys, due out in October). Also, the original happens to be on Encore this month.
• Friday the 13th: Pamela's Tale #1 (2-part mini, DC/Wildstorm)
  The tale of Jason's mother.
• The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: About a Boy #1 (one-shot, DC/Wildstorm)
  When Leatherface was but a child.

Music

• Sentences: The Life of M.F. Grimm (Hardcover Graphic Novel, DC/Vertigo)
  Percy Carey's autobiographical look at the life of a Hip Hop artist.

Books

• Marvel Illustrated: The Man in the Iron Mask #1 (mini-series, Marvel)
  Adaptation of the Dumas book (from the series that began with The Three Musketeers).

Games

• Halo: Uprising #1 (mini-series, Marvel)
  Based on the extremely popular game that is a favorite to mash with comic book movie 300. It seems like everybody knows somebody who made a Halo 300 film.
