PR: Rocketeer Adventures Vol. 2 Coming! Hell Yes!

I have to say that when I saw this news I was like, "Fuck yeah and hell yes!" Which only partially makes for a good headline. Seriously if you missed the first volume of this series you should check it out. We do have some retro reviews of the first two issues that I reviewed and you can bet I'll be reviewing the next volume as well. I know a lot of fans are going to be very happy that IDW went back for more Rocketeer! Here's the reviews: first issue and second issue.

The second all-new, all-fantastic Rocketeer Adventures series launches into stores in March! Each extra-long issue—boasting 25 pages of story and art— will feature covers by DarwynCooke and Dave Stevens. The first issue’s line-up includes Peter David, Marc Guggenheim, SandyPlunkett, Stan Sakai, and Bill Sienkiewicz, with ArthurAdams supplying a pin-up.

“The Rocketeer takes us back to another time,” said series editor Scott Dunbier, “one stuffed to the brim with heroism and thrilling adventures. Some might call these stories old-fashioned—and what’s wrong with that?”
Other contributors to the series include Kyle Baker, J. Scott Campbell, Eric Canete, Paul Dini, Michael Golden, Dave Johnson, David Lapham, John Paul Leon, Bill Morrison, Louise Simonson, Walter Simonson, Chris Sprouse, Tom Taylor, Matt Wagner, Colin Wilson, and more. Rocketeer Adventures is in the current issue of Diamond Previews.

As with the first series, a portion of the profits from Rocketeer Adventures will be donated to the Hairy Cell Leukemia research. Dave Stevens, the creator of The Rocketeer, died of the disease in 2008 at the age of 52.
