You may recognize Daniel Warren Johnson from titles like Wonder Woman: Dead Earth (awesome!) and Beta Ray Bill (just as awesome!), but his indie titles like Murder Falcon and Extremity are where DWJ really gets to let loose.

The Passageway is the first of a dozen new interconnected projects making up The Bone Orchard Mythos from Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino!\u201d This creative team is one of the best in comics today, rivaling even the great Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips.

Seven identical twins are born from seven different virgin mothers on every one of the seven continents, and all but one are brutally killed. But one of those six dead might have just returned. Jae Lee\u2019s artwork is astounding as always, and there\u2019s an intriguing story being developed. I\u2019m excited to learn more about this new world in Seven Sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CHICKEN-DEVIL-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"665\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CHICKEN-DEVIL-665x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CHICKEN-DEVIL-665x1024.jpg 665w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CHICKEN-DEVIL-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CHICKEN-DEVIL-768x1182.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CHICKEN-DEVIL-998x1536.jpg 998w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CHICKEN-DEVIL-1331x2048.jpg 1331w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CHICKEN-DEVIL-scaled.jpg 1663w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMitchell Moss is about as regular as it gets.

Unfortunately, Mitch is ill-equipped to be a badass &#8211; he&#8217;s just a guy who makes really good chicken. Can he protect his family from cold-blooded gangsters? Absolutely not. But maybe the Chicken Devil can&#8230;\u201d This four-issue series from Aftershock was REALLY GOOD and not a lot of people read it when it was coming out in single issues. There are some really neat twists and turns in this series, plenty I wasn\u2019t expecting, and has a wild ending. Hopefully, there is more to come, but this is an awesome trade paperback on its own. Maybe if we sell enough, they\u2019ll fast-track a volume 2\u2026 BUY IT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marvel Comics<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CAP-SENTINEL-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"666\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CAP-SENTINEL-666x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CAP-SENTINEL-666x1024.jpg 666w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CAP-SENTINEL-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CAP-SENTINEL-768x1181.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CAP-SENTINEL-999x1536.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CAP-SENTINEL-1332x2048.jpg 1332w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/CAP-SENTINEL-scaled.jpg 1665w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe twentieth century was a draw. The twenty-first will be played for keeps.\u201d Spinning out of the events of Captain America #0, Steve Rogers Cap is back in his own series with Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty. Cap\u2019s shield is one of the most iconic symbols, not just in the Marvel Universe, but in our universe too. But there\u2019s a secret behind the shield that will change everything. This is definitely Steve\u2019s book, with Bucky playing a role, and a nice Dimension Z shoutout as well. This is the start of a new and exciting Captain America run, written by the team behind the latest Kang miniseries and drawn by Marvel Stormbreaker Carmen Carnero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DC Comics<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/JL-LAST-RIDE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"692\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/JL-LAST-RIDE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/JL-LAST-RIDE.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/JL-LAST-RIDE-195x300.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chip Zdarsky seems to have been killing it on every title he\u2019s been working on recently, and finally, one of his first forays into the DC Universe is collected in the Justice League: Last Ride TP out this week. After a great tragedy, the Justice League is broken and scattered, with the Trinity of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman no longer speaking, let alone working together. But with the galaxy\u2019s biggest murder trial set to begin, an even greater threat looms that could destroy everything. This was a great seven-issue miniseries written by Zdarsky that seems to just be the beginning of things for Chip at DC. Similarly, to Chicken Devil from Aftershock, this series flew under the radar for a lot of folks, so now\u2019s the time to check out this underrated series in full. Justice League fans will love it, this is how the movie should\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SANDMAN-NIGHTMARE.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"691\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SANDMAN-NIGHTMARE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SANDMAN-NIGHTMARE.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.cnjcomics.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SANDMAN-NIGHTMARE-195x300.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comic fans are feeling the Sandman hype after the release of the trailer just last week, and the awesome Sandman back issue collection we got in at the shop too (good timing!). While Neil Gaiman\u2019s Sandman wrapped up years ago, in the pages of Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country written by James Tynion IV and drawn by the wicked Lisandro Estherren, the dream lives on. This series has been great, as is typical from Tynion these days, with some creepy and terrifying characters and things going on in this book. This week sees issue #3 come out, and if you haven\u2019t given this series a shot yet, we have copies of #1 and #2 back in stock as well. I don\u2019t know anything about Sandman, but I\u2019m still really digging this new series, and I think you will too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s just a sampling of what\u2019s new and good in the shop this week.
