New Comic Releases for the Week of 3-11-2015 at CNJComics

We’ve decided to have a little fun with this week’s new releases, by linking each one to a video or trailer to show you just how connected the world of comics is to the media that you are watching today. Here’s the featured new comic releases coming out Wednesday, March 11th!

First up’s easy, Star Wars #3 comes out this week.

Star Wars #3

A really fun read and a reason to stop into the shop in and off itself. We’ll also have reprints of issues #1 and #2 in as well.

Here’s the trailer for the new movie, coming out December 18th!

Next up is the latest issue of Ant-Man.

Ant-Man #3Fan favorite the Taskmaster shows up in this issue. (I have to admit, I have a Taskmaster statue in my office.) Read this series to get you ready for the movie on July 17th. Here’s the trailer!

From the streets of Cleveland comes Howard The Duck #1!

Howard The Duck #1After a cameo in the end credit sequence of Guardians of the Galaxy, Cleveland’s own Howard has had a sudden resurgence in popularity, and now has his own book. Here’s a decent link to that end credit scene.

There’s a new issue of Deadpool this week, so that’s a prefect reason to take a look at the Deadpool test footage with Ryan Reynolds.

Deadpool #43Deadpool’s one of Marvel’s most popular characters for regularly breaking the 4th wall and talking directly to the reader, usually in an analysis of what’s going on at Marvel Comics in general. Ryan Reynolds will do the role proud and the movie’s due sometime in 2016.  Have a look at this test footage (careful, language)

Can’t wait for the new Batman Arkham Knight Video Game on June 2nd? You can read the official prequel now at the comic shop.

Batman Arkham Knight #1Video games have budgets larger than most major motion pictures, and Batman games are no exception. Here’s a look at the video game’s trailer.

DC’s also putting out a $1.00 reprint of the first issue of IZombie to go with it’s new television series.

Izombie #1 Special EditionPremiering March 17th on the CW, a girl becomes a zombie and has to eat brains to prevent losing her memories and intelligence. If you dig it, there’s 28 issues in four graphic novels already waiting for you at the shop. (See why comic shops are so cool?). Check out the iZombie trailer

We couldn’t make it through this week’s theme without pointing out the new issue of Walking Dead this week.

Walking Dead #138New issues come out every month and we have volumes upon volumes of the comic book series stocked up at all times. (we’re methodical about it actually.) Here’s the sneak peak for this week’s episode on Sunday March 15th.

I just have to finish off with something I’m really stocked about, the Big Trouble in Little China Pop Funs.

BT1Jack Burton, Gracie Law, Lo Pan and Thunder, Lightning and Rain. One of the greatest movies of all time. (at least to me.) Let’s flash back to that trailer so I can justify this post!

That’s all for this week. Hope you had a fun time browsing the video’s. It’s a pretty big week all around, so come check us out at the shop.
