Exclusive Preview of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE #6

For the past six months, fans of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE have followed the wild and various adventures of Robotman, Garbage Man and the alien Tanga.

 

Today marks the release of the final issue of this anthology-style miniseries. We here at THE SOURCE spoke to the writers of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE and asked them to reflect upon their time working on the series and to tease what the last issue has in store for fans.

 

“I had a great time working on this title - and I mean literally,” Robotman writer Matt Kindt told us. “The title itself has so much history attached to it - and growing up reading Doom Patrol in all its incarnations just made this a childhood dream come true. I knew going in I'd have a lot to live up to and I feel like I was able to come at Cliff Steele in a slightly different way. That last issue has some great plot surprises but the biggest reveal is Cliff's true nature. He discovers it, and so will we!”

 

"It has been a great privilege to write and draw this inaugural Garbage Man story,” said Garbage Man writer Aaron Lopresti. “I loved being able to pay homage to the creators and characters of the monster comics that so captivated me growing up in the 70's. This final issue ties up the various story threads, delivers justice to the villains and sets the table for the future. What more could you ask for in 10 pages?!"

 

"I'm thrilled that DC allowed me to tell this story and introduce Tanga,” continued Tanga writer and artist Kevin Maguire. “I've enjoyed working on this more than anything else in my career so far. I hope one day, I get the chance to tell new stories with her."

Exclusive Preview of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE #2

Last month marked the release of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE, a six-issue anthology-style miniseries that chronicles the separate adventures of Robot Man, Garbage Man and the alien Tanga.

“Beauty and the Bat” by Aaron Lopresti and Matt Ryan, picks up in Gotham City, where Garbage Man had just made his return and was seeking out his old friend, The Reverend. But will a visit from Gotham’s protector, The Dark Knight, jeopardize Garbage Man’s journey of self-discovery?

In “Uncanny Valley, Part 2,” writer Matt Kindt and artist Scott Kolins continue the tribulations of Robotman, who last we saw, was being devoured by a restaurant full of angry zombies. Can Robotman preserve what’s left of his humanity by stopping what’s causing these people to turn into zombies without hurting them? And when he’s attacked by a giant mechanical beast, will Robotman have met his match?

And the last issue of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE ended with Tanga being stuck in a state of paralysis while she was forced to watch innocent people get murdered. Now, in “Tanga: Unloved,” by Kevin Maguire, she must gain back control of her powers and body before stopping the cruelty unfolding before her eyes.

A closer look at January’s WEIRD WORLDS

We’ve heard bits of news about WEIRD WORLDS, the anthology mini-series hitting in January and featuring the talents of Aaron Lopresti, Kevin Maguire and Kevin VanHook, among others – but what more can be revealed?

Well, not to overuse the phrase but we went straight to the source on this one and got some art and comments on two of the new characters showing up in the first issue – Tanga and Garbage Man – from their respective creators, Maguire and Lopresti. So, take it away, Kevin:

“Having soared through uninhabited space for far too long, the powerful yet personable Tanga finally finds a planet with a friendly population. Unfortunately, it's a planet besieged with giant monster attacks. Unfortunate, that is, for the giant monsters.”

And here’s some lovely Lopresti Garbage Man art, with a few words from the man himself:

“What happens when a corrupt lawyer develops a moral conscious? His powerful clients take notice and action. Weird experimentation, murder and timely pyrotechnics combine to create the ultimate monster-hero! Follow Garbage Man’s path to redemption as it leads through a foray of monsters and to an ultimate showdown with the Dark Knight!”

WEIRD WORLDS #1 hits in January.

SDCC 2010: DC UNIVERSE: EVENT HORIZON – Jimmy Olsen, WEIRD WORLDS and more

It’s early afternoon in lovely San Diego and we’re almost at the halfway point of the show, but don’t let that fool you into thinking we’re done making news. In fact, we’ve got two images to get your mind whirring as you head into Room 6A for the DC.

That’s definitely Jimmy Olsen. But who’s that with him? Looks a lot like Chloe Sullivan, doesn’t it? It is, and it’ll be Chloe’s first appearance in the DC Universe proper, as part of the upcoming JIMMY OLSEN co-feature.

Garbage Man? Looks like Aaron Lopresti art. Could this have something to do with the WEIRD WORLDS title we’ve heard mentioned recently? You’re getting warmer.

Let’s check in with Senior Story Editor Ian Sattler to shed some more light on these two items and see what else attendees can expect to hear about on the panel. Take it away, Ian:

“DC Universe: Event Horizon is your ticket to all things DCU. We’ve got a great list of creators joining us and more than a few surprises up our sleeves that you won’t find at any other panel. Seriously – I ‘m worried we’re gonna break the projector with all the slides we have ready for this one. And who knows, the right question at this panel could land you a spot in a future DC Nation. See you there!”
