Aggressors - The new hero pulp

Reading reviews of a genre

Many Happy returns

, , , , , , , , , ,

I've been asked if there are any Aggressors still being publised.

Gold Eagle is still publishing The Executioner, Superbolan and Stonyman series as well as The Destroyer although reports indicate that no Destroyer has been solicted by Gold Eagle for July of 06.

Warren Murphy's Ballybunion press is publishing several Destroyer spinoffs,such as New Blood, a fan written anthology. (Warren if you're reading this I have a contribution already for a second volume, I had assignments when you put out the call last time), The Assassin's Handbook, volumes 1 & 2, companions to the Destroyer series.

Del Ray appear to have stopped their Tomb Raider original novels at three, Amulet of Power, The Lost Cult and The Man of Bronze. (reports also indicate that there will be no further movies as Cradle of Life did not go as well as hoped. Top Cow is still publishing the regular Tomb Raider series although their second title Tomb Raider Journeys appears to have ceased publication.

Marvel is still publishing The Punisher regular series as well as various mini series and one-shots featuring the character.

DC has just finished their 6 issue revamp of THE VIGILANTE, this Vigilante has no ties to any of the previous bearers of that name.

Moonstone Press has released a Buckaroo Banzai preview for the 3 issue miniseries coming in May.

Amazing Fantasy #18 has an 8 page backup story featuring Mark Hazzard: Merc. Sadly this is a one time only deal.

Avon books is publishing the third book of Dennis Chalker's Home Team series: Weapon's Grade in July 2006.

Dynamite Entertainment has reportedly licensed the rights to Darkman. No word on a release date at this point.

Y'know, as I recall, Marvel published a few issues of Mark Hazzard: Merc in the mid eighties with their 'New Universe' stuff. I'll see if I can dig them up for you.

12 issues plus an annual, I managed to find all but 2 of them in the 50c bin at Comics Etc

Thanks Mate

Gold Eagle also publishes what is probably the BEST hero pulp kind of tale of the last 20 years, OUTLANDERS by Mark Ellis/James Axler. In July, they'll be releasing the first of a new series called Rogue Angel that replaces the canceled Destroyer series.

Thanks for that Rob. Outlanders (and it's prequel series Deathlands)are part of the Post-apocalyptic Aggressors. I've not really gotten into this type of Aggressor but I've heard really good things about both series.

This Rogue Angel series could be worth a look, but Gold Eagle has been erratic lately with my Destroyers (I have a permanant order at the bookshop but several of the more recent books haven't come through) so I'm a bit leery of starting a new series with them.

Glad you dropped by and glad to read your comment.

Outlanders has a lot fewer aspects of the standard doofus post apocalyptic junk than Deathlands. I'd say Outlanders is a lot closer in tone and spirit to Doc Savage (the OL creator used to write the Doc Savage comic books) or Stargate SG-1 than most post apocalpytic type books.

Perhaps when I get a bit further through my reading pile I might grab a couple of Outlanders/Deathlands and give them a read.

I believe that Mark Ellis (the Outlander creator) included a reference to Doc Savage in Outlanders #4 Omega Path and I am a big fan of both Doc Savage and Stargate SG-1.

My wife'll kill me for starting another series ;-)

Yeah, theres a little comment about Clark Savage in Omega Path. On the Outlanders chronology page,it claims that Kane, one of the main OL characters, is a descendant of Solomon Kane. Kind of cool!

Y'know I was just thinking if you'd like to write up some reviews of the Outlanders novels I'd be happy to post them here.

There are reviews aplenty of all the Outlanders novels over at Jamesaxler.com. Thanks for the offer!

Brad Mengel 25. April 2006, 00:24

No worries. I'll add that to the links page.

WOW! Thanks for these links! The Executioner part 2 looks like a movie I'll have to keep my eye out for.
