Previews Spotlight #058 (Aug->Oct): Aug 3rd, 5pm pacific

[BobBretall]

Previews is coming out on July 25, the Previews call will be on Friday Aug 3rd at 5pm Pacific / 6pm Mountain / 7pm Central / 8pm Eastern.

Submissions for the Previews Spotlight #058 show should be in by Saturday Aug 4th.

As always, get on Skype around the start time (or join any time after, the call can run 4 hours of rousing comics chat) and look for BobBretall or thejohnmayo & message to get joined into the call.

Of course you can start sending in submissions as soon as you have them done. Sending them in early is appreciated as it give us more time to organize the clips and plan out the episode.

Discuss any of the new comics AND call dibs on reviewing any particular comic on this thread.

Remember: We encourage anyone to send in a short audio clip where they can talk about any book that's coming out in the upcoming Previews that they are really excited about. The email address to send the clips to is TheGuys@ComicBookPage.com. (Some people were only send them to either just John or just Bob and we both need to get them to prepare to recording the episode. By using TheGuys email address, the email goes to both Bob and John.)

PLEASE: Each featured item should be in a separate audio file.

We would also appreciate it if you put the page number followed by the full name of the item in the filename. If you don't know the page number, that is fine. Just leave it off. But having the full name of the item the clip is for makes it much easier for us to organize the files and prepare for recording the episode.
Tips on how to record a clip can be found here.

Marvel
Lots of stuff hitting a "last issue" but I don't think it's any surprise that stuff is ending that will be relaunched as new #1s with new creative teams.

I'm getting:
AVENGING SPIDER-MAN #13
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #695 & 696
DAREDEVIL #19
FANTASTIC FOUR #611
FF #23
WINTER SOLDIER #12

I'm curious about this one:

DAREDEVIL: END OF DAYS #1
BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS & DAVID MACK (W) KLAUS JANSON & BILL SIENKIEWICZ (A) COVER BY ALEX MALEEV variant cover BY DAVID MACK Collage Variant by PASCAL GARIN Variant Cover by TBA
Revealed at last...how it ends for the Man without Fear!
In the near future, investigative reporter Ben Urich has one last story to write what was Matt Murdock's the final secret?
A story years in the making brought to you by some of the greatest creators in Daredevil history!

If Brian Michael Bendis from 10 years ago got in a time machine & came forward in time to write this, I'd definitely want to read it. I'm not so sure about Bendis2012.

DEXTER #1
Written by JEFF LINDSAY Penciled and Inked by DALIBOR TALAJIc COVER BY TBD Variant Cover by TBA
Dexter Morgan is not just an above-average forensic blood spatter expert. He's also Miami's friendly neighborhood crime-fighting serial killer!
But Dexter's "killing" streak gets put on hold, as he find himself trapped in a sticky situation – his high school reunion!
The Skid Row Slasher, Miami's newest serial killer, is racking up quite the body count. The rookie is giving good ol' Dexter a run for his money.
And Dexter's problems are only beginning to multiply as his Dark Passenger, Dexter's inner voice, screams for a little murderous fun to feed the need!

Really?!?!??!! This was crying out to be a comic book?? I'll stick to Showtime.

[HassanT]

I like Dexter the TV show not the comic book.

I am going to pass on the Bendis Daredevil mini and if I hear it is good, I will read in hardcover.

The Joe Kurbert Presents #1 looks really great.

I think Marvel is making a BIG mistake double shipping Captain Marvel, AGAIN!!

[JohnMayo]

I'm not sure if Previews is coming out on July 25 or Aug 1st. If it comes out on the 25th, then the Previews call will be on Friday Aug 3rd at 5pm Pacific / 6pm Mountain / 7pm Central / 8pm Eastern.

Previews should be released on July 25th.

So, *after* we confirm that release date for Previews with the people at Diamond tonight during previews night at Comic-Con, we will lock down the date for the Previews Teleconference.

[JohnMayo]

I talked with someone at the Diamond booth at Comic-Con and he indicated Previews would be out on time on July 25th.

[BobBretall]

[BobBretall]

We'd love Sean Neprud to do this one:
Valiant Masters: Bloodshot v1 HC

[boshuda]

WOW!

That's right: Thanks to the support of fans through Kickstarter and participating comic shops, you can get the first FIVE issues of CYBER FORCE at no cost.

Kind of necessary, though. Without the free trial I would be skipping the Cyber Force relaunch. Maybe after five issues I'll be hooked and continue to pick it up every month.

[Lord Shaper]

Ok so far what I'm looking at doing clips for are:

Grendel Omnibus Vol 2 (as if I wouldn't do it)
Phantom Stranger #1
And I was going to do Cyberforce but I'll go through previews again

[BadDeacon]

We'd love Sean Neprud to do this one:
Valiant Masters: Bloodshot v1 HC

I'll have it to you by the end of the week

[Royal]
