New Comic Releases for the Week of 4-8-2015
DC’s Convergence continues, Archie Comics has some new “not so” all ages books this week, and we’ve got a creator signing on Saturday! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, April 15th, 2015. It’s week two for DC’s Convergence, and nationally the event is being considered a hit. My take after week one is that there is something very comforting to reading these short stories, and for new readers they act as a time capsules to open up and explore why certain era’s in DC’s history are important. This week’s books are all set in Pre Zero Hour (1994) post Crisis (1985) continuity, specifically Metropolis sometime near the end of 1993. (By my guess) This is the era where Superman is Dead, Batman had his back broken, Hal Jordan became Parallax, and piranha’s ate Aquaman’s hand. This is the era when it seemed like everyone was reading comics. Here’s a break down on what to look forward too this week: Convergence Aquaman #1: Aquaman dealing with the aforementioned loss of his hand.
New Comic Releases for the Week of 4-8-2015
Convergence kicks into high gear, Deadpool dies, and we’ve got some cool new Indie titles this week! Here’s the featured new releases coming out Wednesday, April 8th, 2015. Last week’s #0 issue set up the premise, but Convergence officially begins this week with Convergence #1 and ten new two issue miniseries! The domes are opening in issue #1, and it’s up to the heroes of Earth 2 to figure out how to save everyone.
Stock up on Action Figures for Easter
It’s too late for mail order! The big boxes stores look like they’ve been ransacked by “Sand People”! (suspiciously accurate blaster marks.) Where can I possibly find an outstanding selection of superhero action figures this late in the game? Carol and John’s Comic Book Shop to the rescue! We’ve been stocking up for months and have noticed our efforts paying off, as we’ve quickly become not only a destination for comic books, but one for action figures as well. (What better way to fill up all that empty space in an Easter Basket?) We can break our action figure inventory down into six categories. Pop Fun’s! We specialize in Pop Fun’s that have a comic book related theme to them. (though we break that rule every so often.) Reasonably priced at $10.99 each, a bit more for over sized. This past week saw the releases of Avengers 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy series 2.
Convergence and New Comic Releases for 4-1-2015
Get ready for the biggest new comic book day so far this year, including lots of books to get you ready for Avengers 2, along with action figures galore, and DC’s Convergence. Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, April 1st, 2015. We have to start out with the big news, “Every story matters” again with DC’s Convergence #0. DC Convergence is a nine part weekly mini series stretching across the months of April and May that will lead into 40 new two issue mini series set in different DC timelines. While the New 52 isn’t over, we’re not stuck there anymore.
New Comic Releases for the week of 3-25-2015
We’ve got a few fun story lines going on that you can jump into this week, along with some reprints, variants and a cool all ages indie. Here’s a look at the featured new comic releases coming out Wednesday, March 25th, 2015. The Guardians of the Galaxy and the X-Men are in the middle of a three month long 13 part storyline called “Black Vortex”. It’s been old school comic book fun, fleshing out the relationship between X-Man Kitty Pryde and the Guardian’s Peter Quill (Starlord). Three Chapters come out this week, along with a couple reprints of earlier chapters, so it’s a good time to catch up. Here’s a checklist with release dates: The Black Vortex Alpha #1. (Chapter One, reprints came out last week 3/18) Guardians Of The Galaxy #24 (Chapter Two, reprints come out this week 3/25) Legendary Star-Lord #9 (Chapter Three, reprints come out this week 3/25) All New X-Men #38 (came out 2/25, reprints due out 4/8) All New X-Men #39 (came out last week, 3/18) Guardians Team Up #3 (Chapter Six, came out last week,...
