Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday, September 9th, 2015. STAR WARS After last week’s huge Star Wars toy drop on ForceFriday, everyone’s got the new movie on their minds. This week Marvel’s offering up a new title set directly after Return of the Jedi! Star Wars Shattered Empire will be a four issue mini series written by Greg Rucka detailing the power struggle in the Empire after the emperor’s death, as well as the rebels response to it.  Darth Vader #9 is also due out this week. DC COMICS Scott Snyder will be teaming up with his occasional partner JOCK to bring you a stand alone issue of Batman. Batman #44 is a flashback story telling the origin of new villain Mr. Bloom. (So yes, we get Bruce Wayne back for an issue.) JOCK worked with Snyder on Batman Black Mirror, and currently works with him on Wytches. (If you’ve never read Black Mirror, you’re missing a modern classic. Pick up the graphic novel.) Summer’s not quite over yet, so take a road trip with the Gotham...

Here’s the featured new releases coming out Wednesday, August 19th 2015! First up is House of M #1 by Dennis Hopeless and Marco Failla. Marvel’s still got a few more Secret Wars series to go, including this throwback to the classic series when the Scarlet Witch spoke the classic line “No More Mutants.” The House of Magnus controls all, having crushed all resistance to their reign. Magneto rules with an iron-fist, while his children and grandchildren live their lives as royals-with all the privileges and pit-falls that come with that title. But is Magneto’s control as all-encompassing as it seems? And what happens to a conqueror when there is no one left to conquer? Here’s a fun one shot, Secret Wars Secret Love #1. Short stories featuring heroes in love across Battleworld. I’ve flipped through it and it’s pretty cool stuff. The team up you’ve been waiting for (sort of) in Guardians Team-Up #10. Deadpool and Rocket Raccoon and a very ET inspired cover. It’s a good week for action figure fans, with DC Direct releasing their new artist series...
