Comic Heroes Magazine (2010) comic books 2012

Original Enveloped Edition. A hero is only as good as his or her opponents, which is why this month Comic Heroes is celebrating those bothersome creeps by dedicating a whopping 15 pages to a count down of the top 50 comic gad guys, as voted for by the readers of Comic Heroes - that's you lot! Disagree with the decisions? Then you've only got yourself to blame. Elsewhere, we shift focus from villains to anti-heroes, one anti-hero in particular, mob-boss Jackie Estacado who returns in videogame sequel The Darkness II. We're so excited about the long-anticipated sequel we got on the blower with the creator of the original comic - and a man closely involved with the creation of the game - Marc Silvestri to chat about what to expect and why it could be the best comic book adaptation ever. That's not all! Bryan Singer looks back on bringing the X-Men and Superman to the big screen, we celebrate 20 years of Madman with Mike Allred, Frank Miller gives us the lowdown on his work from The Dark Knight Returns to Holy Terror, your bluffers guide to DC and Vertigo and we ask the mighty George Perez about his inspirations. And as always our extensive reviews section covers the best of the month's releases, including Paul Dini's collected Batman: Arkham City graphic novel, the League Of Gentlemen Omnibus HC, Self Made Heroes' Hellraisers, a round up of the latest Marvel, DC and Dark Horse releases and Alan Moore's superb Neonomicon. Plus Jeff Lemire, Jason Aaron, Scott Snyder, and Luke Cage - an appreciation. Free stuff - 48-page graphic novel Thorgal: The Invisible Fortress, plus 3 free Batman new 52 postcards. Cover price $18.99.

Original Enveloped Edition. The latest Comic Heroes counts down the top 50 superheroes of all time, from Batman to Wolverine - as voted for by you. Where will your favourite place on this ultimate list? There's only one way to find out! This issue comes with three fantastic freebies: check out the 2000 AD badges, Sidekick sampler comic and giant double-sided poster of The New 52 and American Vampire. Inside the magazine we also deliver an exclusive interview with Ed Brubaker. He discusses Captain America, the launch of his right-hand man Bucky's title Winter Soldier and the new image series Fatale with artistic partner Sean Phillips. You'll find details about Avengers Vs X-Men, which hits stores in April to coincide with the highly anticipated release of Joss Whedon's film The Avengers. Not only do we list the greatest heroes ever, but we point out the really crappy ones too. Which hero's secret weapon is a trained bumble bee that lives in his belt buckle? Who's power relies on the length of his hair? Or what about a riot cop on a skateboard? These rubbish heroes and others. Plus we've got loads more, with the bluffer's guide to George Pérez, the art of Jamie McKelvie, American Flagg, Massimo Belardinelli and extensive reviews featuring the best of the month's releases. If that wasn't enough we also have Hogan talking Tom Strong, and a celebration of Judge Dredd. Cover price $18.99.
