New Comic Releases for 1-20-2016

Welcome to the recommended new releases for the week of January 20th, 2016! INDY BOOKS We’ll start off with a couple indie releases, just to mix things up. We’ve decided to carry all titles from the new publisher Aftershock, mostly due to their intense creator list as well as some impressive first issues. This week is the release of Brian Azzarello’s American Monster #1. “In a small Midwestern town, a large man with a horribly scarred face gets off a bus, and takes a room. He spooks the locals–nobody knows him–or do they? It’s impossible to say be-cause he seemingly has no face. The man’s intentions remain unknown, until he takes on a corrupt sheriff and the rural crew of racist arms dealers. The town’s impression of the man changes, and he’s seen as a hero…until his real intentions bubble to the surface. The man isn’t there to end the gang, but to take it over. And he’s just getting started.”
