Hey there, Carol and John’s Shoppers! We’ve got a big week full of super heroics to end the month of July that we’re excited to share with you. Let’s jump in. DC Comics Ram V takes on Batman! The indie hit writer behind The Many Deaths of Laila Starr and These Savage Shores teams with superstar artist Rafael Albuquerque to begin a new era for the Dark Knight. “Something is terribly wrong with Batman. No matter the tests Bruce takes, nor the numbers he counts, the greatest detective in the world can’t pin down the source of this creeping dread—of his own inner demons and looming mortality. Meanwhile, real demons roam the shadows as an ancient melody haunts the Gotham night. Here now, the curtains rise, and as the eerie tune streams in… who is human, who is a demon, who is to tell? As Batman investigates Gotham’s songs and demons, he is forced to confront the oldest question… whether there has been a demon within him all along… and if so, what does it want?… and why hasn’t it...

Good morning, Carol and John’s Shoppers! We’ve got another exciting week of comics, with some big events going on in Marvel, some great storytelling from DC, and some fresh new things in small press. Let’s kick things off. Marvel Comics The next big Marvel crossover begins! “First shot fired – Judgment is coming! The Eternals know that the mutants have conquered death. But what are they going to do about it? The oldest immortals on Earth eye up the newest, and the doomsday clock starts to tick toward Judgment Day.” Written by Eternals and Immortal X-Men scribe Kieron Gillen, the news is out that mutants have learned to cheat death and resurrect themselves on Krakoa. It’s rubbed a lot of people in the Marvel Universe the wrong way, but especially the Eternals: immortality is kind of their shtick. A.X.E. Judgement Day officially kicks off next week with #1, but this week’s Eve of Judgement serves as the zero issue. Check out the trailer below for the epic crossover event. Last year’s inaugural Hellfire Gala event in the pages of X-Men...

Good afternoon, Carol and John’s Shoppers! It’s a mild week of releases, but there are a lot of new series and storylines beginning, and one major ending this week. Let’s just jump in. DC Comics Tom King’s Batman run reaches its conclusion! Initially launched at the beginning of DC Rebirth, King’s run had plenty of epic moments, but the relationship of the Bat and the Cat was the most critical to the entire series. Issue #50 faked us out with their wedding, but when DC announced the 12-issue maxiseries Batman/Catwoman, fans were promised the true ending to their love story. Would they live happily ever after? There were plenty of twists and turns (and delays) for this series, and I’ll be excited to sit down and read this in one sitting now that it’s all complete, but the final issue of Batman/Catwoman delivers for those invested in these two classic characters. Just look at those awesome wrap covers too! Great stuff. DC is putting out A LOT of Batman right now, so it can be hard to decide what to...
