SDCC 2024: NEW Psylocke Series to be Announced at Comic-Con

An all-new PSYLOCKE comic series launches this November. Stay tuned for the full announcement this Saturday at the Marvel Comics: X-Men: From The Ashes panel at San Diego Comic-Con! We'll be sure to post whatever releases and news drops in my email inbox, but remember, you can watch most of San Diego Comic-Con's panels online these days!! It's just like being there, minus the sweat smell, pushing, loudness, heartbreak of missing an exclusive, bad seats in a panel, no access to panel seats at all, a hotel 5 miles away, horrible heat, expensive food when you can find a table at a restaurant and Brian Posehn following you back to your room to tell you about his favorite robots. Yes, I miss it dearly. 

Uncanny X-Force Suit Up

Believe it or not, Cyclops has been getting his hands dirty in the last few years. Seeing the necessity for a little bloodshed in a war for the continued survival of Earth's last remaining mutants, Wolverine is charged with leading a "black ops" team to take out the trash and burn all evidence they leave in their wake. Even for the X-Men, and especially Wolverine...that's fucking DARK!! Now Marvel enters their "Heroic Age", so is there room for a pack of killers among the kid friendly heroes that stand front and center? We are about to find out.



Here's the skinny from Marvel...

After Cyclops disbands Wolverine’s black-ops group, Logan assembles a brand new team to face a deadly new threat, courtesy of fan favorite creators Rick Remender, Jerome Opena and Dean White in Uncanny X-Force #1! Now get an exclusive look at the first issue—and the team’s deadly new mission—in this all-new trailer. You can’t miss Uncanny X-Force #1, in stores October 6! We've got preview art below so enjoy!!

POOLWATCH: Kotobukiya's Deadpool Fine Art Statue..and some other Marvel Stuff

It's rare you can look at a new comics wall nowadays, browse the Marvel titles and NOT see Deadpool's sarcastic mug on a cover or 3 (much like Wolverine in the 90's!) Kotobukiya is well aware that the merc with a mouth is the new "It Boy" and wants to give fans a Deadpool statue that captures every annoying, arrogant, insufferable inch of him.

The “Merc with a Mouth” is on a rampage! One of the most popular comic book superheroes in the business, Wade Wilson is popping up everywhere, and now he’s taken over Kotobukiya as the next Fine Art Statue in the Marvel Comics Presents collection, DEADPOOL! Formerly a member of the Weapon X program, Wilson has since struck out on his own as an assassin for hire and independent agent. With his trademark costume, extensive armory, and nonstop witty repartee, Deadpool makes a huge impact wherever he goes.

Never stopping for a moment, Deadpool is posed in the midst of intense action, leaping over a crate with weapons at the ready. His iconic red and black skin-tight costume highlights the mutant assassin’s muscular physique as well as the intense concentration apparent on his face. Deadpool is also laden with his usual assortment of goodies, including the knife sheathed on his left ankle, various waist pouches, and a gun holstered on his right thigh. Depending on what style of fighting you prefer, Deadpool can be outfitted with either set of included arms; one wields his deadly katanas and the other fires intricately detailed Uzis!

Deadpool stands approximately 10 inches tall, leaning over a detailed battle scene complete with crate and even a tiny Deadpool “plush” toy! Sculpted by Erick and William Valenzuela, the demented yet hilarious assassin is recreated in high quality cold cast resin.

Available this August with an MSRP of $200. My only crit would be that Koto should go easy on the glaze. It makes the statue look too shiny. Bowen has always done this right.


In case you've missed it, Kotobukiya is also releasing an X-Men Danger Room Session – Wolverine statue (SRP $169.99 Available in October), a nine inch statue based on Jim Lee's art and sculpted by Erick Sosa featuring a light up base and two interchangeable heads (mask on and mask off.) Psylocke will follow soon after. A Sabretooth Fine Art Statue designed by the Silva Brothers and Sculpted by Erick Sosa is also slated for release as well as a War Machine Art FX Statue (available this October for $119.99).














The Bishoujo line continues in 2010 with the recently announced White Phoenix San Diego Comic Con exclusive.

Sculpted by Koei Matsumoto, White Phoenix is constructed of high-quality pvc plastic and stands approximately 9 inches tall (in 1/8 scale with the other Marvel x Bishoujo statues). The stunning beauty of the White Phoenix will look great in your collection, especially standing side by side with the green Phoenix and her “evil twin,” the Dark Phoenix!

The White Phoenix Bishoujo statues will be available as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive from Preview Night, July 21st! Both the standard and Dark Phoenix versions are available for pre-order now with an SRP of $59.99



Koto also showed off concept art for the next piece; Emma Frost, so we thought that might bear repeating...and showing off...and drooling over.

Psylocke Bishoujo Statue

Kotobukiya has been the killer of wallets this year with their exceptional Marvel Comics statues and busts, but their Bishoujo PVC statue line is just completely irresistible. Koto turns key Marvel Heroines into Anime godesses while still staying true to the classic look they are known for. Now the X-Men's Psylocke joins Rogue, Scarlet Witch and Black Widow!
