<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSpinning out of the pages of Jason Aaron\u2019s Avengers, this week sees the debut of a new solo miniseries for the newest host of the Phoenix force: Echo. She\u2019s got a lot to learn about her new cosmic powers, but first and foremost, why was she chosen by the Phoenix? Look, I wish I had some super powers too, but I pity the fool who gets stuck with the Phoenix force. It never seems to end well for anybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAnd new this week also is Thor #18 starring Throg! He\u2019s on a secret spy mission for Thor across the realms in this issue which also sees the reunion of the Pet Avengers. Since his brief blink-and-you-miss-it cameo appearance in Loki (is it safe to talk about that yet?), Throg\u2019s been getting a lot of attention recently and it\u2019s awesome to see him get some play now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nProbably my pick of the week, it\u2019s a new DC Black Label book, and this is a big one; it\u2019s Catwoman Lonely City. \u201cTen years ago, the massacre known as Fools\u2019 Night claimed the lives of Batman, The Joker, Nightwing, and Commissioner Gordon and sent Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, to prison. A decade later, Gotham has grown up\u2014it\u2019s put away costumed heroism and villainy as childish things. The new Gotham is cleaner, safer and a lot less free, under the watchful eye of Mayor Harvey Dent and his Batcops. It\u2019s into this new city that Selina Kyle returns, a changed woman with her mind on that one last big score: the secrets hidden inside the Batcave! She doesn\u2019t need the money\u2014she just needs to know\u2026 who is \u2018Orpheus\u2019?\u201d Written, drawn, colored, and lettered by superstar artist Cliff Chiang, this is his Catwoman passion project and it really shows. It\u2019s awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWell this just goes to show how far behind I am on somethings, Nubia became Queen of Themyscira during Infinite Frontier!? That\u2019s pretty cool. And new this week is the beginning of a six issue miniseries detailing her reign as Queen and the horror that waits beneath the island that threatens the Amazons. This sounds like a sleeper series that has potential for big changes for the DC Universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe Hill House Comics imprint from DC is back this week, with Refrigerator Full of Heads (what a gnarly title). The sequel to the original Basketful of Heads from a couple years ago, I missed out on the first series myself, but Ben recently got caught up and loved it. If the title didn\u2019t give you a hint, this one looks just as twisted as the rest of the Hill House books. And this one even has a killer great white shark. Rad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nKilladelphia has been one of my biggest recommendations this year (honestly, grab volume 1 if you haven\u2019t yet and throw on the Nine Inch Nails Quake soundtrack from 1997 and you\u2019ll thank me later), and new from the same creative team comes a spinoff book called Nita Hawes Nightmare Blog. Subbing out the vampires of Philadelphia, the streets of Baltimore in this book have demons and ghosts, and great covers too! I\u2019m really excited to read this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
