MILWAUKIE, OR, MARCH 13 — As the pop culture world gears up for Seattle’s Emerald City Comicon, Dark Horse announces not one, not two, not even three, but four variant covers for this year’s show! The first few months of 2014 will see some of Dark Horse’s biggest launches of the year, and we have chosen to celebrate with Emerald City variants for Serenity #1, Buffy #1, Veil #1, and a very special variant of Witcher #1. First up is Veil, the much-talked-about new, original series by Greg Rucka and Toni Fejzula. For this year’s show, Dark Horse has tapped

Dark Horse continues the story of Angel and Faith in the debut issue of Angel & Faith: Season 10. The previous comic season ended with Faith leaving London and Angel staying in Magic Town. I’m guessing the two will meet up again at some point; otherwise, why would the comic be called “Angel & Faith”? Victor Gischler and Will Conrad write and draw this comic, which will be released April 2, for $3.50, and joining them are Michelle Madsen on colors and Scott Fisher on cover art.

Funko just sent over some new images of upcoming Pop! Vinyl figures and Wacky Wobblers. While I’m a Spider-Man fan through and through, obviously, the big news is that Agent Phil Coulson is going to be a Pop! Vinyl figure. Shut up and take my money, Funko. And as I mentioned, straight from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Pop! Vinyl and Wacky Wobblers of Spider-Man and Electro (the Electro Bobblehead glows in the dark!)

(Alternate groan-inducing pun-filled titles: “Cuteness is Coming”, “The Night Is Small and Full of Cute”) Funko just sent over some images of their new Game of Thrones Mystery Minis. Standing 2.5 inches tall, each of these figures packs a lot of cuteness in their small stature. There are twenty-four to collect, and it looks like each is blindpacked. Also, there are super-rare and glowing chase versions to hunt for. Man. Funko really knows how to get you right in your wallet heart with these things…. Rarity Scale:
