The kind folks at Devil's Due Publishing have supplied ComicList with their solicitations for comics and other products featured in the June 2008 Previews, scheduled to ship August 2008. "You're going to see a lot of new faces at DDP in August on our new solicitations . As we announced at New York Comic Con this year, Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia's new series Rest is going to be kicking off. Additionally, we've got the first series from our new line of books based on Capcom video games -- Bionic Commando! As you might have read recently in Variety , none other than screenwriter Justin Marks is coming on board to write Bionic Commando. Justin recently worked on the screenplay for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and is currently working on the screenplay for Hack/Slash, so we couldn't be more excited to see him coming over write at DDP. You're going to have to see the solicitations to see everything we have going on -- from Jeffrey Brown's first Incredible Change-Bots transformable vinyl toys to a Hack/Slash crossover with The Re-Animator and the all-new creator-owned title Mercy Sparx from DDP President Josh Blaylock. Of course, this is all in addition to the Dungeons & Dragons, Drafted and Voltron action you already knew was coming. So check out what we've got landing in August, and get ready for some spectacular comics."
