A Bluewater comic I *MIGHT* be interested in

[Newsbot]

Roger Corman's: Battle Amongst The Stars #1
Writer: Martin Fisher
Pencils: Ben Hansen
Cover Artist(s): Ben Hansen & Azim

30 years before the movie, Zed of Akir boards an alien space craft and drawn into a open galaxy unknown to him. There he finds himself in a race against time to stop a race called the Oztem's from being wiped out by the ruthless Remlar of the Malmori, and his 1st Lieutenant Sador.

Too bad the Battle Beyond the Stars DVD is out of print.

Clinton, Ellen, Shatner, Vincent Price, and a few movie based books? That is a strange collection of titles.

Bluewater Productions is generally considered the Revolutionary Comics of today, meaning the put out mostly shit bio-comics and can't be bothered to check spelling... or facts.

Or prequel and unnecessary sequels?

[anarky]

Probably the only thing they could get rights to. Comics publishers snatch up licensed properties right and left. There was even a fucking Goonies sequel a few years ago.

Funny thing, they do it to raise brand awareness of their companies. But just about any publisher will tell you that, unless you have major market penetration already (meaning you're DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, or maybe IDW), you'll actually lose money with a licensed comic.

I remember getting one issue of Revolutionary's Rock 'n' Roll comics, the Aerosmith issue. Within five pages, I'd found more basic factual errors that ten minutes of research could've caught, and swore to never buy another issue. The worst was saying that Steven Tyler's real name was "Steven Pearcy," which I have no fucking clue where that came from. It's never been a secret that his real last name is Tallarico.

And not just because it's a biocomic of Stephenie Meyer.

BWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Batman.

I added the Batman at the end to make it a more exciting laugh.

Again, I stress the "might" in that, since the artwork is pretty mediocre (though still way higher than Bluewater's normal extra-shitty standards).

I would only be interested because of West's involvement and the insane premise, as it could be a lot of fun. It would hinge on how good the co-writer is. Tough to tell from the two-page preview here.

...features a fictionalized version of the pop culture icon solving mysteries, saving the universe and "slamming people's heads into metal objects" all in a day's work after receiving an exotic amulet from one of his fans.

Fictionalized?
I guess that kills my interest.

Looks to me like there will be a Free Comic Book Day issue of Adam West....
