SDCC 2017–DC Comics free digital giveaway now–Green Lantern meets… The Colonel?

Yes, San Diego Comic-Con is still about comics.  So how about a free one?

In the spirit of great promotional comic book ideas over the years like The Adventures of Kool-Aid Man comic book, DC Comics and Kentucky Fried Chicken have done the unthinkable.  The unimaginable.  It’s the comic book you didn’t ask for and didn’t know you wanted: Green Lantern co-starring Colonel Sanders.  That’s right, a team-up of Green Lantern and The Colonel!

It includes an homage cover based on the classic Silver Age comic book cover for Green Lantern Issue #76 drawn by Neal Adams.  This is one fans of all things retro won’t want to miss.

Tom Grummett and Trevor Scott created the cover and Tony Bedard supplied the story with interior art by Tom Derenick, Trevor Scott, and Tom Parsons.

You’ll also see The Colonel meet up with several guest superheroes.

Descender 1 cover

If you missed out on writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen’s 2015 sci-fi comic book series Descender, you have a chance to catch up.  You can purchase for download Issues #1-5 at Comixology at any time, but this weekend the website is offering a free digital copy of Issue #1.

Why should you check out the free preview?

Nguyen really has a solid lock on the look of this story about a child-like android (or does he rate cyborg status?) who is the only survivor of a galactic assault on his world.  His stylized settings and spaceships, as well as his color choices remind us of Phil Noto’s visuals on Trigger Girl 6, one of the best retro-style creations we’ve seen in years.  His wide perspective and large panel spreads really evoke something from an exciting future.

Lemire’s world building gets readers up to speed quickly.  He takes the theme from Steven Spielberg’s Artificial Intelligence/A.I. yet makes it far more interesting.

If you’re not convinced yet, just look at the first few pages below and see what we mean:

Hitman Agent 47 BOOM Studios

What better from San Diego Comic-Con than a free digital download of a new comic book?

Today, the official Hitman debuted as a free download at SDCC 2015.  Written by F.J. DeSanto, the comic book serves as a prelude to the movie, and depicts the story of Agent 47 as he hunts down a contract, leading into the opening scene of the feature film.  This marks the first time the Agent 47 character will appear in a comic.

Starring Rupert Friend (who we think is a dead ringer for Orlando Bloom), Zachary Quinto and Hannah Ware, Hitman: Agent 47 follows a genetically engineered assassin (Friend) who targets a mega-corporation that wants to use the secret of his origin to create a whole army of killers.
