New Comic Releases for 6-29-2016

Lots of fun stuff for this fifth Wednesday in June!  DC Superhero Girls make their original graphic novel debut in a $9.99 softcover! DC started this launch with a Free Comic Book Day comic and the story continues here in this new story. This is a great way to introduce your kids to the world of DC Comics, and the series itself reminds me of the old Superfriends Challenge of the Superheroes cartoons, with characters from literally all over the DC Universe. DC Entertainment has done a great job of providing addition media to support the line, and you can find a lot of interactive stuff here to make it a modern experience for you and your kiddo.  Also, this book is available in comic shops this week first, before all mass media outlets! Sure Captain America Steve Rogers #1 caused a creepy ruckus last month. Well the controversy continues this week with issue #2. Did Marvel decide to change the story line at the last minute? Is the big mouse who controls all the real HYDRA? Does any of...

DC Rebirth and Civil War II

DC Rebirth and Civil War II

We’ve got a lot of ground to cover this week between DC Rebirth and Civil War II, so let’s jump right in! Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, June 1st 2016. REBIRTH DC Rebirth was a universal hit last week. Just take a look around the internet. (no wait, don’t do that, it’s dangerous.) We sold over 500 copies in a week making it our best selling book of the year. While the book is going to a $5.99 second print, we still have about a hundred first prints at $2.99! We went long and it paid off. This week we’ve got four DC Rebirth Specials coming out. I’ve read them all, and they all have a component that takes you back to the characters legacy. Good stuff across the board. Batman Rebirth #1: Ex CIA agent and cult writer Jeff King (The Vision, Omega Men) takes over with a little help from Scott Snyder as Batman trains a new protege. Green Arrow Rebirth #1: A full issue of Ollie and Black Canary and the return of...
