New Releases for the week of 4-29-2015

We’re going to make it brief this week, as we’re working diligently to make this weekend’s Free Comic Book Day plans a reality.  Here are the featured new comic releases coming out Wednesday, April 29th, 2015. Convergence Welcome to DC Convergence Week Four! This week is set in the pre-Crisis DC Universe on any Earth other than Earth One.

Free Avengers Magazine and New Releases

It’s week three for DC Convergence, we’ve got some Avengers Magazines to give away, a chance to win VIP status at Free Comic Book Day and some excellent new trailers to share with you. Here’s the featured new releases coming out Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015. Convergence This week DC Convergence brings us ten more titles, this time set in the DC Universe pre Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985). Centered on Earth One, these titles are all set in the time period when I first started collecting comic books, so the nostalgia factor is high. Adventures of Superman #1: Superman, Supergirl and her headband by the guy who wrote Crisis himself, Marv Wolfman. Batman and the Outsiders #1: One of the greatest teams of the 1980’s. The Flash #1: Classic Flash Barry Allen before his death in Crisis. Green Lantern Corps #1: The big three of Hal, John and Guy. Hawkman #1: One of the most exciting projects, with art by Hawkworld artist Tim Truman. Justice League America #1: Aquman’s team of misfits operating out of Detroit. New Teen Titans #1:...

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.
