New Comics For Wednesday 24th of July


Look, it's not a competition...but if it was, Marvel is crushing it this week. We mean, Hickman's X-men all starts here! And just look at these other amazing line up of books...that said a new Sean Murphy Batman book is not bad either. OK, let's jump to it.

Having made his mark on the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, Jonathan Hickman turns his pen and unique ideas to the X-Men, beginning with HOUSE OF X #1 (OF 6). Since Stan and Jack's original, the X-Men have been reinvigorated with Giant-Sized X-Men, the Age of Apocalypse and New X-Men. With those events as a foundation, Marvel's merry mutants are about to be regenerated once again, as Charles Xavier, Professor X himself, reveals his latest plan to bring mutantkind out of the dark and into the light. If you're as excited for this as we are, then you should also be on the lookout for Powers of X, coming next week. Be sure to have both on your order, they're not gonna last on the shelves.

The Marvel Universe is packed to the brim with mighty heroes, and Marvel takes a moment to acknowledge the women amongst them with FEARLESS #1 (OF 3), from a line-up of all star female creators consisting of Seanan McGuire, Claire Roe, Leah Williams, Carmen Carnero and Kelly Thompson. There's a problem out there to be sorted, and it will take the combined powers of Captain Marvel, Storm and the Invisible Woman to solve it, while in another decade long gone, you can relive the golden age of romance comics with Millie the Model. All that, plus a look at the history at classic and modern female comic creators, so there's definitely something for everyone here.

While Marvel Comics has only been around 80 years, the universe it's home to has been around for untold billions of years, and now Mark Waid and Javier Rodriguez will take you through it all with HISTORY OF MARVEL UNIVERSE #1 (OF 6). From the Big Bang, the creation of the Living Tribunal and other eternal beings to Galactus' forming and the evolution of life and power on Earth, this will be the definitive story of most epic superhero universe ever made. Or one of them, at the very least.

After more than five decades of incredible comics, Marvel has painstakingly chosen just three to reprint for your enjoyment in MARVEL TALES HULK #1, featuring work from Al Milgrom, Stan Lee, John Buscema, Peter David and Dale Keown. In these stories, Hulk goes back to being gray since his original debut; a desperate blood transfusion between family members leads to Jennifer Walters becoming She-Hulk and Bruce Banner and the Hulk become one entity: Professor Hulk.

Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' Marvels has come full circle, with all four parts re-released with extensive annotations and appendix material, but if that's all you thought they had coming to you, then MARVELS EPILOGUE #1 will make you think again. Written by Busiek, with fully painted interiors from Ross, see their take on the rise of the All-New, All-Different X-Men of the 1970s, through the eyes of retired photographer, Phil Sheldon, and his daughters. 

You watched as he cut down Fire Goblin after Fire Goblin in the War of the Realms, now learn the origin of China's latest superhero Lin Lie, the Sword Master, in SWORD MASTER #1, from Shuizhu and Gunji. In search of his archaeologist father, Lin finds a mysterious black sword, imbued with magic; magic to turn him into the Sword Master. Then, in a back-up from Greg Pak and Kris Anka, the Sword Master will have a team up with longstanding Marvel martial artist, Shang Chi.

Jane Foster is back in the spotlight with a brand new ongoing series, as she becomes a Valkyrie of Asgard in VALKYRIE JANE FOSTER #1, from Jason Aaron, Al Ewing and rising star artist, CAFU. She's saved the world as a doctor and as the Goddess of Thunder, but now her duties involve ferrying the fallen warriors of Asgard to their final rest. But don't let that lead you astray, she's still got time to defend those in need. The latest chapter in Jane Foster's life begins here!

The road to Absolute Carnage goes ever on as we reach WEB OF VENOM FUNERAL PYRE #1, from Cullen Bunn and Alberto Albuquerque. The serial killer called Carnage is hot on the trail of anyone unfortunate enough to play host to a symbiote over the years, and he's got Andi Benton, the former Mania and former partner of Agent Venom, in his sights. But with no symbiote to protect her, will Andi end up another victim on a growing list?

The X-Men facsimiles are back again, this time bringing you the epic conclusion to Chris Claremont and John Byrne's X-Men masterpiece, the Dark Phoenix Saga, with X-MEN #137 FACSIMILE EDITION. With Jean Grey brought before the Shi'ar to account for the crimes of the Phoenix entity, will Jean give in to her darker side, or can the X-Men help see their fellow team member through to the end?

Jack Napier may have fallen back into darkness of the Joker, but his legacy as Gotham's White Knight has endured in Sean Murphy's BATMAN CURSE OF THE WHITE KNIGHT #1 (OF 8), the sequel to his smash hit series, Batman: White Knight. With the Wayne family hiding many secrets, the Joker has undertaken the task of exposing them all, recruiting Jean-Paul Valley, Azrael, to his cause. Plus, how has being Batman changed now that Jim Gordon knows who's under the mask?
  
The Flash: Year One reaches its timely conclusion with Joshua Williamson and Howard Porter's FLASH #75 YOTV THE OFFER, where a Flash is finally born, but another will also die. How will Barry stop the Turtle from completing his nefarious plan, and embrace his destiny to become the fastest man alive? Also, see the offer made to Captain Cold from none other than Lex Luthor, an offer of... Doom.

Picking up years after Alien: Resistance ends, Brian Wood and Kieran McKeown's ALIENS RESCUE #1 sees Alec Brand, who was rescued by Amanda Ripley, now fully-grown and ready to serve as a Colonial Marine. But his latest mission will have him return to the moon from where he was rescued, and will have to face his past, as well as more than a few deadly Xenomorphs.

The penultimate issue in Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's modern-day fantasy epic hits the shelves with WICKED & DIVINE #44. All we can say about this issue is: there's only one letter i in decide, but two in the word deicide. So does it take one person to choose to kill a god, but two people to carry it out? Try and decipher the riddle of this preview before it arrives.

With her sisters all extraordinary beings, Princess Basil finds her gift is to be perfectly ordinary in Cassie Anderson's EXTRAORDINARY TP STORY OF ORDINARY PRINCESS. After escaping from a kidnapping attempt, Princess Basil tries to find the fairy godmother that blessed her with her ordinariness and make her something more. But to find her inner extraordinariness, she'll need to take on gnomes, a badger and snarky foxes, as well as ally herself with an unlikely compatriot.

Tom Scioli revisits the golden days of action figure comics in his updating of the lore of the 1980s GoBots action figures with GO BOTS TP VOL 01. The Go-Bots are on Earth, saying they're there to work with the humans towards a better world. But is that all there is? Could there be a sinister plot to overthrow the human race and replace it with machines?

Bring yourself up to date with goings on in Neil Gaiman's unified Sandman universe with HOUSE OF WHISPERS TP VOL 01 THE POWER DIVIDED, from an array of creators, such as Nalo Hopkinson, Dominike Stanton, Kat Howard, Bilquis Evely and many more. Within Ezrulie Freda's House of Dahomey, a houseboat residing on a bayou, lies a journal filled with magical whispers and rumours that could literally tear the world apart. When four girls unwittingly stumble upon the journal, they may be unleashing one of the deadliest evils ever known.

From the creative duo behind Stray Bullets, David and Maria Lapham, comes LODGER TP VOL 01. A twisted story of love and murder follows Ricky Toledo, as she hunts down the man who posed as a lodger in her family's home, murdered her mother and framed her father for it. Three years later, broken and clinging to revenge, but can she kill a man she had a precocious crush on, even if that man is a cold-blooded killer?

More summer camp misadventures await you in LUMBERJANES TP VOL 12, from Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh and Ayme Sotuyo. After the time-related mishaps of last book, the girl scouts of Roanoke aren't too keen to have another adventure, so Counselor Jen tries to reignite their spirits by setting them on a quest to find that fantastical Jackalope. Will the girls find the legendary creature, and even if they do, will it be enough to fire them back up again?

If you've already devoured the first Conan the Barbarian trade paperback from Marvel, then you have to grab a copy of  SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN TP VOL 01 CULT OF KOGA THUN, from Gerry Duggan and Ron Garney. Having been foolishly attacked by a band of pirates, this encounter sets Conan on the trail of the treasure of the cult of Koga Thun. With dangerous magic and dark secrets guarding the highly desired prize, will Conan survive this quest?

One of the biggest could-have-been movies was a version of Alien 3, written by acclaimed sci-fi author, William Gibson. While the movie will never surface, the next best thing comes to you as WILLIAM GIBSON ALIEN 3 HC, from Gibson and Johnnie Christmas, which provides a graphic novel adaptation of the screenplay no-one thought would see the light of day. See the version of Alien 3 you never thought you would, through the magic of comics.

Following their first skirmish, Archie and friends are ready for round two against the deadly predators in ARCHIE VS PREDATOR 2 #1 (OF 5), from Alex De Campi and Robert Hack. With all their friends dead and their town a ruin, Bettie, Veronica and a Predatorized Archie are lucky enough to stumble across a working car that they can drive to Riverdale in. But as weird as things already are, the trio are about to find out how much stranger things can get when they run into three people they weren't expecting: themselves!

The latest book in One's hilarious supernatural comedy comes in the form of MOB PSYCHO 100 TP VOL 03. Teen psychic Mob has a confrontation with middle school gang leader, Teru, but with Mob's dedication to not using his powers for violence, it can only end one way: with Teru victorious... or is there another way for Mob to win?

At long last, Scott Pilgrim is back... in trade paperback format! With the SCOTT PILGRIM COLOR COLLECTION TP BOX SET, you'll get Bryan Lee O'Malley's Canadian smash-hit series in three, colourful paperbacks, which collects two volumes in each volume. If you don't want to have to make room for six, bulky hardcovers, then this is the perfect solution for long time fans of the series, or those looking to jump in for the first time.

That being said, if you are new to the Canadian antics of Scott Pilgrim, then you might want to take it a little slower, which is why Oni Press has also released the three paperbacks as individual volumes as well. You can take your time to work your way through each part of the story in your own time with SCOTT PILGRIM COLOR COLLECTION TP VOL 01SCOTT PILGRIM COLOR COLLECTION TP VOL 02 and SCOTT PILGRIM COLOR COLLECTION TP VOL 03, but we know as soon as you've started the first volume, you'll devour the rest of the series in no time at all.

With San Diego Comic Con around the corner, there's always a few fun collectibles to be had. While most of them will only be available at the convention itself, you can get yourself a small piece of the action with the SDCC 2019 DIE TP VOL 01 FANTASY HEARTBREAKER trade from Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans. With a cover design unique to this edition, get in the comic con spirit with one of these, and enjoy a gripping tale of tabletop RPGs when they become far too real.

After highlighting each issue of Sydney writer, Mat Groom's, Image miniseries, Self Made, we appreciate that single issues aren't for everyone, so now you have no excuse to not check it out as SELF MADE TP now hits the shelves. Collecting all six issues, follow the journey of Amala Citlali, a warrior of Arcadia, as she learns about the mysteries behind her creation, and find a way to escape the prison that is her destiny.

After the success of the graphic novel, Is This How You See Me?, Jamie Hernandez follows it up with another graphic novel, TONTA HC LOVE & ROCKETS. Set in his beloved Love and Rockets world, the story focuses on fan-favourite character Tonta, who is in the midst of confronting her family history. But on top of that, she'll also have to keep up with the antics of everyone around her, from her half-sister's involvement with a gangster, to befriending a young woman who keeps to herself in the woods, but somehow manages to know what's going on in town, and many other quirky events.

It's another legendary Marvel Legends week as we the AVENGERS 4 LEGENDS 6IN AF ASST ENDGAME HULK line into the store. Featuring figures of Rescue, Union Jack, Loki, Beta Ray Bill, Shuri and Rock Python, they're all pretty awesome on their own, but if you collect all six, you'll have the parts necessary to put together: the Incredible Endgame Hulk!

After many amazing pieces of cover art, Jenny Frison's Wonder Woman is brought to life with the DC DESIGNER SER WONDER WOMAN BY JENNY FRISON STATUE. Perfectly capturing Frison's vision, this is a unique depiction of Wonder Woman and one you can't pass up.

And there you go, what a list, huh? Are you ready because we are! If you've spotted anything else you are after, let us know before close Tuesday to get it sorted for you.
Until we see you next, have a great and safe week, life live and read comics.
