By Unkiedev Welcome to the Weekly Planet, Forbidden Planet’s in-shop (and online) newsletter! The Planet is always jam-packed with fun recommendations and product highlights, and this week WOULD be no exception t’were it not New Years Week.

By Unkiedev We’re just jumping in head first like a seal into a wood chipper! Dark Horse has the Goon #35, Faith and Angel #1 and a brand new Star Wars original graphic novel called Chewbacca & the Slavers of the Shadowlands. Chewie hates slavers almost as much as Mr. T pities a fool, and [...]

By Unkiedev This column was going to be a huge review of Craig Thompson’s 2003 graphic novel Blankets…but there’s too many awesome comic books out this week! For those who like titles about real life, beauty, sadness, growing-up, regret, religion, self-fulfillment, family, guilt, anger, shame, love, redemption, the redeemer, and the redeemed then here’s your [...]

By Unkiedev GHOSTS! That’s what I’ve been bothering me at all hours of the night, moaning, rattling chains and generally making themselves look like asses…although I’m sure they think they’re pretty clever, don’t you Ghosts? I suppose you think it’s cool that you’ve sundered the billowing veil between life and death. You sure seem to [...]

By Christopher Troy My name is Chris Troy, and this is my most favorite delayed action figure line in the galaxy! There’s a good chance that if you got that joke, you’ve played Mass Effect 2. Which wouldn’t be that much of a suprise, as the best-selling game from Bioware graced the 360 and PC [...]

By Chris Troy Happy delicious candy-season at your local Rite Aid/Walgreens/CVS/Duane Reed FPNYC faithful! As yet another commercialized holiday approaches, let it be known that Forbidden Planet has received a ton of new toys and collectibles over the last 2 weeks, so instead of week old Peeps, why not get someone (or yourself) something a [...]

by Michael Bramley Waiting for an omnibus is strange. Sometimes you can wait for ages and then two come out at once. In this case, I’m referring to the most recent hardcover volumes of Saga of the Swamp Thing and Starman. Like everyone else, I’ve been hearing the hype about Swamp Thing for around two [...]

By Unkiedev There is not a single problem that can befall man nor beast that cannot be resolved through the awesome powers of this week’s new comic books. S’true! Let’s pretend you are a wasp and you’re way behind building you new hive. Not only does Doom Patrol #20 feature bizarre characters written by the [...]

By Unkiedev At an undisclosed time in the undisclosed past I had embarked upon an epoch entitled “Comic Book Ideas Lying About on the Launch- Pad of Neglect” or some such. This article was about the heaps of cash to be made by securing the licensing rights to certain comic book properties that have been [...]

By Unkiedev Oh good grief, here we go again. One thing I LIKE about independent comic book publishers is they have to have better ideas to stay afloat. If the small presses can’t tell stories the big three (or four) haven’t touched then they may as well pack it up and go home. IDW has [...]
