Hey there, CNJ shoppers! Raf here welcoming everybody to a New Comic Book Day. December is here already!? Some of the year\u2019s best comics come out in December usually, and this month is no exception. We\u2019ve got a lot of great anniversary specials, some returning series, and one big epic of a Wonder Woman book all new this week. Let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marvel Comics<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This week marks the 750th issue of Avengers, and to celebrate is this week\u2019s oversized Avengers #50. There is a whole lot to unpack in this $9.99 issue including: the conclusion to World War She-Hulk, the story of the Iron Inquisitor, a brand-new team of villains coming for our world including Kid [REDACTED] and Young [REDACTED], Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider receives a new multiversal quest, and new members join the team ALL IN THIS ISSUE. This is definitely not one to miss out on; written by Jason Aaron with a host of other artists as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batman has the best rogues gallery in comics (yeah, I said it) and Gotham is the city they call home. This special one-shot features stories about some of the baddest of the bad including the likes of Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Ra\u2019s al Ghul, Talia al Ghul, The Mad Hatter, Killer Moth, and the original Red Hood. Also in this issue is a Penguin story written by the man, the myth, the legend, The Penguin himself, Danny DeVito! Batman Returns is my favorite Christmas movie ever, and if there was one place in the multiverse I\u2019d want to visit it\u2019s Gotham during the holidays. We\u2019ve got tons of variants for this one too, come in and grab a cool one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spinning out of the events of this summer\u2019s big event, Infinite Frontier, there\u2019s a new Justice League out protecting the multiverse and it\u2019s the Justice League Incarnate, here in issue #1. With Superman of Earth-23, Flashpoint Batman, Captain Carrot of the Zoo Crew, China\u2019s Flash from Earth-0, and a new hero Doctor Multiverse, they\u2019re our only hope against the one true Darkseid. This five-issue miniseries will take DC fans across the multiverse on a quest to stop the end of everything. Right on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This next project has been in the works for quite some time, and I\u2019m happy to say it\u2019s been well worth the wait. Superstar writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (Captain Marvel, Bitch Planet) presents the entire story of the Amazons across millennia in Wonder Woman Historia. Trust me when I say this is the Amazons like you\u2019ve never seen them before, in this DC Black Label book beautifully drawn by one of my favorite artists Phil Jimenez! Not for children, this epic three-issue series is an absolute must for fans of Wonder Woman and the Amazons. A true passion project for both creators, with subsequent issues drawn by Gene Ha and Nicola Scott. Just check this art out from Phil Jimenez!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be sorry if you miss out on this one this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The horror series that was so popular fans practically demanded a sequel, the “Maniac of New York” is back in “Bronx Burning.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter the tragedy of The Death Train, Detective Zelda Pettibone and mayoral aide Gina Greene have lost the trail of the Maniac – and the support of the city. Copycats are springing up, tensions are high and traffic is a nightmare. So, what happens when your favorite unstoppable, mindless killer resurfaces in a Bronx high school? Can Zelda and Gina get there before Maniac Harry adds to his body count? Will the students tear their attention away from their phones long enough to notice there’s a monster in the halls?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re all stoked to jump back into this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new Mark Millar series this week, it\u2019s James Bond meets John Wick (have the rights for this already been bought by Netflix I wonder), it\u2019s King of Spies #1. The world\u2019s greatest secret agent only has months to live, and he knows all the dirtiest secrets. But instead of laying down quietly, he\u2019s going to expose all those who\u2019ve done him and the world wrong. A quest to right the wrongs of the past, this four-issue miniseries is sure to be a hit, most anything Millar writes these days is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another shop favorite horror series returns this week in AWA\u2019s Hotell Volume 2. Featuring interconnected storylines that all revolve around a mysterious motel out in the Nevada desert, this is one of the creepiest books out there. If you\u2019re not familiar, check out volume 1 that we have in stock at the shop for only $10. AWA really puts out some great stuff, and I\u2019m excited that we\u2019re getting more from this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that does it for this week at Carol and John’s Comic Shop. Thank you all so much for coming out and shopping with us over Black Friday weekend, it was a big success and we were happy to console everyone after the OSU game on Saturday. Don\u2019t forget that our annual Charity Art Show is coming up soon too, and the deadline to submit a cover for the art show is rapidly approaching. Covers are due December 12th. We\u2019ve started receiving some already and they are awesome. Thanks to all our artists out there. We\u2019re excited to see what everyone comes up with, we\u2019ve got plenty of blank covers available to giveaway at the shop too. In the meantime, have a great week everybody!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
