Looking back to a stormy night in Banff as lightning danced above Mount Rundle and the Bow River.

Well, this is promising.
From what was shown by at San Diego Comic Con by DC Entertainment, there is an upcoming six-issue mini-series called Midnighter and Apollo, which will serve as the follow-up to the critically acclaimed DC Comics series Midnighter.
We finally get to have Apollo and Midnighter back in the same series again, and while they are no longer married, per the New 52′s continuity, they seem to be at the very least rebuilding their relationship as a couple.
From the looks of it, Midnighter and Apollo take on the subway pirates from Grant Morrison’s Seven Soldiers, as well as a giant golem made out of subway trains in Los Angeles and demons in Opal City.
The artwork will be by Fernando Blacno, while Steve Orlando will write the series that is due to see its first issue released on 5th October 2016.
These pages are all first look promo pages from Midnighter and Apollo, Issue #1.
Find more geeky, music, film and video game news at Volume Archives.
I find the limited colour palette interesting. Should be a very distinctive book.
And so glad to have Apollo back! Orlando seemed to really get him for the short time he was in Midnighter’s book, and it’s good to have them back together.

A philosophy I very much live my life by.
Yeah, too bad he was a Nazi.was he? shit
I’m assuming by “he was a Nazi” you meant he played a PARODY of Hitler in a MOVIE and in that same movie he also plays a barber who disguises himself as said Hitler parody and delivers one of the greatest anti-fascist speeches of all time.
It’s okay. It’s an easy mistake to make.
Literally where does someone come up with the idea that a Polish immigrant with heavy leftist leanings is in any way a Nazi
In fact, Chaplin was harshly criticized by the American far right for being very anti-Nazi in the period leading up to America’s entry into World War 2, and many lambasted his film, “The Great Dictator,”–in which he parodied and ridiculed Hitler–as “anti-German” and “war-mongering.” The Nazis themselves, as well as the Nazi sympathizers and supporters of the American far right, hated him.
Chaplin’s films were banned in Nazi Germany, and Nazi propaganda smeared him constantly. (Part of the smear was claiming he was Jewish–which he was not, but calling someone Jewish in Nazi Germany was guaranteed to inflame public sentiment against them.)
Chaplin was concerned with social issues like homelessness, and was a liberal and an anti-Nazi at a time when to be either one (let along both) was to be accused of being a Communist–which at the time was pretty one of the worst things you could call someone–and indeed “anti-American.” (Because, again, American conservatives loved them some Nazis–right up until the time Hitler’s forces started invading other countries–and even then, the bulk of the US thought we shouldn’t “interfere” in what they saw as a strictly European affair.)
Even after the war, and even after the world realized the despicable things the Nazis had done, Chaplin couldn’t shake the “Communist” and “anti-American” accusations from conservative American “journalists,” politicians, and others on the far right, who were still angry with him for his pre-war anti-Nazi sentiments.
And when he refused to participate in the McCarthy’s “Red Scare” Communist witch-hunts of the early 1950s, he was banned from re-entering the United States, while on a trip to England.
In short, Chaplin’s ANTI-NAZI leanings made him so many enemies in the US that they set off a chain of events that eventually saw him kicked out of the country. Oh, sure, the US finally issued a formal apology and invited him back, but by that time, his response was pretty much, “Yeah, too little, too late.” And justifiably so.
Chaplin stood against everything the Nazis stood for, and was smeared and punished for it.
So don’t you fucking dare call Charlie Chaplin a Nazi.
Dishonor on you. Dishonor on your family. Dishonor on your cow.

Various original Hellboy pages (and a cover) by Mike Mignola. I love his art, because in the manner of other masters such as Alex Toth, Mike proves you don’t have to draw a lot of art for it to have a lot to say.
