This spring, prepare for Marvel to break the mold again! Marvel Entertainment is partnering with LOWRIDER MAGAZINE in a unique cross-promotion that is sure to SHIFT fans into HIGH GEAR with the release of ALL-NEW GHOST RIDER.  

Daniel Freedman (Undying Love) and Sina Grace (THE LI’L DEPRESSED BOY, NOT MY BAG) are at it again! The original blow-up hit miniseries about revenge and action is now an all-new monthly Image Comics series called BURN THE ORPHANAGE: REIGN OF TERROR..  

At the beginning of April, Relapse Records will dispatch the new, self-titled LP from Portland, Oregon-based crust brigade, NUX VOMICA, the label debut from the underground heavyweights, and first full-length from the band in over five years.  

Nearly twenty years after its first publication, the classic four-issue miniseries that teamed two great characters with two great creators, Frank Miller and Walter Simonson’s RoboCop versus The Terminator, returns to print in two formats: a hardcover graphic novel and a gallery edition!  

This March, the Eisner Award winning creative team returns for the next chapter in the saga of Matt Murdock, as the Man Without Fear rushes headlong into All-New Marvel NOW! Marvel is proud to present your first look at DAREDEVIL #1 – from the blockbuster creative team of Mark Waid & Chris Samnee!  

This March, the Odinson battles to save the Earth across the timestream in THOR: GOD OF THUNDER #20 – from the New York Times Bestselling creative team of Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic! In the present day, the God of Thunder battles alongside S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Roz Solomon against the evil Roxxon corporation and their sinister CEO Dario Agger – a.k.a. The Minotaur!  

Private Judgement Day, the newest bone-breaker from Russian death metal slam monsters ABORTED FETUS is out now on Comatose Records. The band’s third full-length picks up right where 2010’s Fatal Dogmatic Damage left off.  

This May, the secrets of the Marvel Universe stand revealed in ORIGINAL SIN – an 8-part blockbuster comics event from the red-hot creative team of Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato! Marvel is proud to unveil the first jaw-dropping covers for this epic event gorgeously rendered by Julian Totino Tedesco and Gabriele Dell’Otto!  

This May, experience an untold tale of the Mad Titan in the THANOS ANNUAL – written by legendary Thanos scribe Jim Starlin and drawn by Infinity Gauntlet artist Ron Lim!  

One of my favorite throwback sounding doom bands ever is Pilgrim! Their First album was a heavily, haze laden journey that was a great first album for them. Hopefully this second record has a bit more depth, and they have put even greater efforts into it. About the only flaw was it was simple and never went further than what you initially heard. This album should show some much welcomed growth from these guys, and I am very excited to see this come out.  

New Jersey’s MIDNITE HELLION is proud to announce the release Bitchin’ At Champs! 11-15-2013 on Contaminated Tones as part of the label’s official live bootleg series, exclusively on cassette. With a layout done in old school cut-and-paste DIY fashion, the six-track cassette captures MIDNITE HELLION blazing away on stage. Probably one of the coolest special releases this year!  

Recharged Italian label Minotauro Records has announced the upcoming release of The Last Neanderthal from Portland, Maine’s heavy metal doom rockers OGRE on February 21 in Europe and March 8 in North America.
