Hi Comic Shop Friends! How was your week? I spent my vacation reading all of Saga, so I\u2019m finally caught up and ready for its return in July! Now I have to catch up on last week’s and this week\u2019s books\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John will be sending out a Free Comic Book Day thank you email soon, but I want to say thank you to everyone who came out as well. It was a great day, everything was super smooth, and I got an original ALF drawing from Luna, so I don\u2019t know how next year will top that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots going on this week, so here\u2019s info on that, then onto new books!<\/p>\n\n\n

MARVEL COMICS<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It\u2019s Morbin Time! Just one Blood Hunt tie-in this week, and it\u2019s Amazing Spider-Man! Following ASM #49, Spidey\u2019s tussle with Lizard leads him to team-up with Misty Knight, who may have a solution to the vampires. Now they\u2019re trying to find the vampires who took Colleen Wing, Morbius, and his cure. But of course, it won\u2019t be as easy as just following the tracker Misty managed to place on Morbius. Written by Justina Ireland with art by Marcelo Ferreira.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Jonathan Hickman. Sanford Greene. Galactus. Doom. This oversized one-shot has it all. In the near future, the only hope to stop Galactus from bringing about the death of the universe is Doctor Doom. With Valeria Richards\u2019 aid, Doom will harness more power than any human ever has, than any Marvel hero or villain ever has. Will it be enough to save the Marvel Universe? Worth every penny of the $6.99 price, this is the book you should pick up this week.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Dave Michelinie returns, with artist Gerardo Sandoval, to tell another all-new Venom story, set in Eddie Brock\u2019s early days with the symbiote! Following a lead to Peter Parker, Brock runs into a reporter, Joy, from the Daily Bugle, who he has a past with. The two get front-row seats to The Vault declassifying their rehabilitation program, and you guessed it, things go wrong! Showing off a reformed Killgrave leads to a breakout attempt, and to a new symbiote villain. Long live the King in Purple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC COMICS<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

No new titles from DC this week, but the House of Brainiac continues in Action Comics #1065, Batman and Dylan Dog wraps up with issue #3, and Amanda Waller\u2019s quest for Absolute Power continues in Suicide Squad: Dream Team #3. Volume 1 of the current Poison Ivy run from G. Willow Wilson is in paperback as well, and the first arc of that series is one of my favorites. Check it out if you missed it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMALL PRESS COMICS<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

From Ahoy Comics comes three stories of costumed heroes and villains in My Bad: Escape from Peculiar Islands #1, with writers Mark Russell, Bryce Ingman, and artists Peter Krause and Joe Orsak. The Chandelier gets busted for tax evasion! Captain Ohio may need to step up and move out of regional superhero-ing, and leave beautiful Akron, to take the place of one of the many dead or retired former heroes. On the Peculiar Islands, Rush Hour, Acid Chimp, and others are there for the inauguration of time-traveling ex-president Amazing John Adams as Governor. And America\u2019s wealthiest semi-retired super-villain Emperor King is \u201cvisiting his sick aunt!\u201d Or is he plotting with Professor Octopus? (He is.)<\/p>\n\n\n

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

And for fans of body horror, Silver Sprocket has a new one-shot from Leo Fox, My Body Unspooling. Lucille and his body are constantly at odds. Lucille is too cold and too resentful for his body, and his body is too warm and too loud for Lucille. It\u2019s time to ask God for a divorce.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

And even more body horror in issue #2 of The Principles of Necromancy! We were all fans of the first issue, and this one continues to be creepy and weird and awesome. Do yourself a favor and pick up this series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
