Featured New Releases for 8-21-2019

It’s a short and simple week at the comic shop! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, August 21st, 2019! DC Titles Frank Miller and John Romita Jr have been crafting a new origin for Superman in DC’s adult “Black Label” line. Issue #2 (of 3) comes out this week.  This chapter follows Clark though a coming of age story set in Atlantis, which likely means Lori Lemaris. A lot of readers tapped out of Tom King’s Batman run after the wedding scam fiasco, but it seems like everyone’s back for his final arc, “City of Bane”. Batman #85 will be his final issue on the book, closing it out 15 issues earlier than planned.  Marvel Titles Spider-Gwen will be joining the proper Marvel Universe with Ghost Spider #1. We still only have enough copies of Powers of X #3 to cover preorders. We will be ordering heavily on reprints though, so don’t give up hope just yet. This book is well worth the wait and fun to read as a periodical. We’ll have our orders under control...

Another Snyder book, this one with art by JOCK! Batman Secret Files #2 will give you some background info on Batman’s rogue’s gallery to refresh your knowledge for Tom King’s final storyline in “City of Bane”. MARVEL TITLES For everyone who enjoyed House of X #1 last week, we have the first issue of the companion series, also by Hickman, Powers of X #1.  We sold so many House of X’s that I had to have more sent in from a friend in North Carolina. We will have first prints back in...

Featured New Releases for 6-5-2019

We’ve got some fun selections across the board this week! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, June 5th, 2019! MARVEL PICKS Marvel’s leading the pack with the return of a classic creative team on the Incredible Hulk Last Call One Shot. Writer Peter David and artist DALE KEOWN return for a $4.99 special! Dale is one of the greatest modern Hulk artists, and pulling him out of retirement is a really big deal.  “Bruce Banner is tired of being the Hulk. Heck, he’s tired of being. But just when he’s about to lose all hope, a miracle occurs: a fight worthy of the Incredible Hulk.” Marvel also has the new ongoing Black Cat series this week, with covers by J Scott Campbell and Artgerm, both at cover price. There’s a few ratio variants as well for the speculator crowd. Felicia Hardy stands to hold a place in the new Spider cinematic universe, so this is a good way to get yourself introduced to her.  Also for fun, and a long time coming, is the Marvel Art of Skottie Young...
