<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nOh hello, Comic Shop Friends! Did you all see the back issue wall re-rack? We sold so many on Saturday when John put it up, that he had to refill a whole section for Sunday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you see the second wall re-rack on Tuesday? Stop in, check it out, and keep an eye out for more new back issues as John processes these three new collections! He said he\u2019ll continue to update the wall with new keys as he prices them! There are a lot of great books in great condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure to stop out for Late Nite Comics on Thursday the 20th from 8pm to midnight too! I don\u2019t know what we\u2019ll have out then, but there are some new $1 book boxes out now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides that, it\u2019s just new comics this week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MARVEL COMICS<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
This week we have seven (Yes, seven!) Blood Hunt titles: Blood Hunt (and Red Band) #3, Blood Hunt: Amazing Spider-Man #2, Blood Hunt: Strange Academy #2, along with Avengers #15, Fantastic Four #21, and Miles Morales Spider-Man #21! And this new one-shot:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nJubilee\u2019s past as a vampire may just help her survive the darkness of the Blood Hunt, but it\u2019ll take more than just her lumikinetic explosive light blasts to make it through a horde of vampires and help the recently turned Sonal contain her bloodlust. Good thing Ghost Blade and the Forgiven are there to lend a hand, and stake! A lighter Blood Hunt story, full of Jubilee\u2019s hope, written by Preeti Chhibber with art by Enid Balam.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nEmpowered by a demon who has taken hold of his soul, Kingpin is on the hunt and leaving bloody bread crumbs to lure Daredevil to his death in writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Paul Davidson\u2019s \u201cThe Devil You Know.\u201d Leading into Daredevil #10, it\u2019s a King(pin) sized story! And to continue your Fisk fix, this Giant-Size also contains a reprint of Daredevil #170, \u201cThe Kingpin Must Die!\u201d from Frank Miller!<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nTaking place after X-Men #35, Apocalypse is leading a new age of Mutantkind on Mars. As he takes his throne on Arakko, he has now summoned twelve candidates to be tested in order to determine who will be his successor, and oversee the ascension of mutants on Earth. Only one will become the Heir of Apocalypse, but first Armageddon Girl, Cable, Cypher, Emma Frost, Exodus, Forge, The Gorgon, Mister Sinister, Mirage, Penance, Rictor, and Laura Kinney Wolverine, will have to withstand the trials of body, mind and spirit. But they won\u2019t be the only ones competing, as the first part of the competition is interrupted by someone else who wants the honor! Written by Steve Foxe with art by Netho Diaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe first of six new Elseworlds titles is Batman: Gotham by Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age from Andy Diggle and Leandro Fernandez. This sequel to the Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola original Gotham by Gaslight expands the 19th-century DC Universe with new versions of familiar characters. A meteor falls on the Kansa Tribal Territory in 1860, as Martha and Jonathan Kent make their way to their new home in the west. The Gotham City of 1893 finds Batman contending with Catwoman and a group of international assassins, all of whom are after a glowing artifact from the Wayne Foundation\u2019s collection of relics from a lost age of civilization – the Kryptonian Age! This first issue is a heist story featuring Selina Kyle, and I\u2019m enjoying her characterization in this so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure to let us know if you want any of the other upcoming new Elseworlds titles!<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAnd to go along with the new Elseworlds series, DC has reprinted a facsimile edition of the original Gotham by Gaslight, written by Brian Augustyn with art by Mike Mignola! It\u2019s Batman versus Jack the Ripper in the Gotham City of 1889!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nGodzilla versus Varan versus a bunch of Australian teen skate punks! Writer and artist Louie Joyce sends four friends on a quest to save the \u201cCoin Toss\u201d, their secret DIY skatepark that\u2019s the convergence point of two kaiju! Varan has appeared in the middle of Australia, and Godzilla has surfaced in the Pacific. Why are the monsters on a rampage? What does the decommissioned steelworks, now skatepark, have to do with it? And what are these punks willing to do to save it? Skate or die!<\/p>\n\n\n
