Details are scant but BOOM Studios – home to comics adaptations of such top franchises as Farscape and The Muppets – has acquired a six-issue miniseries based on the British hit series The Avengers.
Written by Grant Morrison [a leading force behind DC Comics’ recent reboot] and drawn by Ian Gibson [Judge Dredd, The Ballad of Halo Jones], the miniseries presents new adventures of The Avengers most popular duo, John Steed and Mrs. Emma Peel. The miniseries premieres in January, 2012.
Beyond the featured poster, though, that’s all we know, but as a longtime fan of the British Avengers, I’m hoping for something wonderful here.

Dark Horse is known primarily for its line of comics and graphic novels, but serious collectors know the company for its line of fine genre-related merchandise. Now Dark Horse is partnering with HBO to produce a line of Game of Thrones merchandise that promises to be one of the most memorable in the company’s history.

Once upon a time, Dark Horse Comics built an intriguing superhero universe based on the concept that its cities got the superheroes they deserved – thus the dark, corrupt Arcadia had the dark, scarred X busting crime, while the nigh-unto-utopian Golden City had Grace, an All-American Girl with Superman-like abilities.
Which brings us to the news that Ghost – one of that universe’s most popular characters – is getting a revival as a video game from Gamers Digital. It should be in stories in early 2012.
The title character is the literal ghost of a murdered journalist named Elisa Cameron – a supernatural being who had to solve her own murder. The title, originally written by Eric Luke – and illustrated by a number of artists – ran, intermittently from 1995-2004.
Given the nature of the character – and the book’s combination of supernatural and mystery elements – it’s a wonder that Ghost hasn’t been developed as a video game already. Follow the jump to read the press release and check out a screenshot from the game – which should be in stores in early 2012.
