Howdy, everyone! Happy New Comic Book Day! Spooky season has passed, the leaves are changing, and the weather is getting colder, but there are always comics to keep you company. This week has a lot of great new titles and there is bound to be something for everyone to check out. Let\u2019s see what\u2019s good.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marvel Comics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In preparation for the new Disney+ series debuting later this year, revisit (or read for the first time if you\u2019re like me) one of Marvel\u2019s best series ever. It\u2019s the entire Matt Fraction and David Aja Hawkeye run in one whole collection, and all for only $44.99. Along with mentioning that I\u2019ve never seen Firefly, I get more dirty looks around the shop saying I haven\u2019t read this than anything else. It\u2019s that serious. Some of the guys might even say it is one of the best superhero books ever, with a great indie flavor as well. Grounding Clint Barton, Hawkeye, in a way that has only been duplicated since this series was about what the hero did when he wasn\u2019t slinging arrows to save the universe and his relationship with his daughter Kate. I\u2019m the wrong guy to try to sell it, but even I know this is some of the best superhero storytelling you can buy, and at an awesome price too. Don\u2019t get dirty looks like I do, and buy this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC Comics<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DC\u2019s been embracing their multiverse in a way not quite like ever before, and this week there\u2019s a new world to visit and\u00a0experience; In\u00a0that, what if Clark Kent didn\u2019t land in Smallville, Kansas, but rather the medieval times? Written by the mastermind behind the Injustice comics and\u00a0DCeased and the current spectacular\u00a0Nightwing\u00a0run, Tom Taylor is taking DC characters back in time to swords and shields. This twelve-issue maxiseries has plenty of exciting twists to start and some cool new story threads. The series will surely entice readers to learn more about this new world, some of your favorite characters, and some underappreciated ones, and see what they are up to in it\u2014some heavy Game of Thrones vibes in this (back when it was good).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And from the other powerhouse Tom of DC Comics, Tom King has a new twelve-issue maxiseries under the DC Black Label with Human Target #1, new this week. \u201cChristopher Chance has made a living out of being a human target\u2014a man hired to disguise himself as his client to invite would-be assassins to attempt his murder. He\u2019s had a remarkable career until his latest case protecting Lex Luthor when things go sideways. An assassination attempt Chance didn\u2019t see coming leaves him vulnerable and left trying to solve his own murder as he has 12 days to discover just who in the DCU hated Luthor enough to want him dead.\u201d I may have to break my rule of waiting for the collections to come out on this one from Tom King. A phenomenal, gritty, noir story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Press<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you been looking for a new series that\u2019s outside the superhero realm to check out? There is plenty of new #1\u2019s this week from across the small press companies to give you something new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The sequel to Mark Millar\u2019s original Magic Order, Magic Order 2 is finally here. Billed as The Sopranos meets Harry Potter, this new volume sees magical gangsters in London go all out in their turf war for control. There have been talks for a while of a Netflix adaptation for the original series, as is typical for any Mark Millar project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA chaotic LGBTQ+ road trip! A workaholic scientist who wants to save the world and a woman who fears nothing but discovering her own destiny find themselves mixed up in a chaotic, on-the-road adventure through Europe. Will they manage to find a middle ground between their opposing ways of life – at least for long enough to complete their mission? And could this trip lead to an unexpected romance?\u201d Maybe an oversimplification, but could this be the Thelma and Louise of comics? Find out in this five-issue miniseries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chip Zdarsky is proving to be one of the most unpredictable writers in comics, with ranging styles and tones, and this week he\u2019s got another new ongoing series. This time it\u2019s a crime noir thriller called Newburn. Teaming up with Jacob Phillips, the artist behind the excellent That Texas Blood, this first issue introduces readers to Easton Newburn, the titular detective on the case of a murdered mafia family member. No reason to skip out on this #1 from Zdarsky.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuffering from the ever-painful experience of unrequited love, twenty-year-old Laura takes a look at her life. Is the fact that the boy she has feelings for is in love with someone else mean there is something wrong with her? Or is that just how young love goes? And what will happen when she tries to get past the hurt and move on with her life?\u201d Written and drawn by Guillem March (of Karmen fame from earlier this year, a shop favorite), this is reprinted for the first time and introduces readers to the comic that launched March into the mainstream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Oh boy, I\u2019m excited for this one. In the\u00a01899 Yukon territory, after the gold rush, there is a valley deep in the lawless North that harbors mystery and fear. Large\u00a0spider tracks\u00a0(!) and a mysterious shadowy figure have been spotted, but that doesn\u2019t stop a woman from going up north in search of her child. Written by Si Spurrier and with art from\u00a0Barbaric\u2019s\u00a0Nathan Gooden, every new Vault series has me interested and this is certainly no exception.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
