#ComicsNEWS Tokka and Rahzar are joining the IDW TMNT series!

Oh, man! How silly is that this news made me so happy/hyped for this?

Sophie Campbell's been killin' it on the art and writing side.

Also, read the IDW TMNT comics! They're available in several languages worldwide and they've been constantly pretty good. (For example the French translations are constantly among the best selling comics every month, alongside the likes of Asterix and Lucky Luke..!)

#RIP Comic book artist Philippe Tome

Another day, another sad event.

One of my favorite francobelgium comic book writers has passed away. Philippe Tome, from his real name Philippe Vandevelde, aka TOME, has passed away in the night of the 5th october.

He's mostly known for his work on Eurocomix mascot Spirou, with artist Janry. To be honest that was MY Spirou, growing up. It remains my favorite era of Spirou, even though I later discovered the awesome work of the predecessors (Rob-Vell, Jijé, Franquin) and even enjoyed the following teams (Morvan & Munuera..).

His Spirou was action-packed, filled with humor and great touches of science-fiction.

I specially loved his and Janry's more "grownup" take on Spirou in "Machine qui rêve" ("Dreaming machine").

He also did lots of other stuff, to many to name. But a special mention to Soda, one of my all-time favorite characters. Pulp action cop series taking place in New York.

He will be sorely missed! Rumors were around Tome and Janry (Yes, named after that cartoon duo..) would be returning to Spirou for a special one-shot, no more...

#RIP Stan Lee

The Man, the Legend... Stan THE MAN Lee has passed away...

He's a legend of the industry. He's responsible (along Jack Kirby, Steven Ditko and others..) for creating some of the most recognizable cult classic comic book characters such as the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Spider-Man and countless others...

Stan was fighting pneumonia for a while now, he died at age 95.

We will all miss his legendary cameos that cemented his image to the mainstream audience.

A lot of warm words from people he interacted with.

A lot of us growing up reading comics felt particularly close to his unique voice. And we will all miss The Man...
