New Comics For Wednesday 25th March


Well these are interesting times, huh?
Let's try something normal for a little bit with one thing that never changes, the best damn new comics review list around! 

On this week's stop in the tour of the Marvel Universe's heroic history, we go back to the Human Torch's ten year high school reunion in FANTASTIC FOUR MARVELS SNAPSHOT #1, from Evan Dorkin, Sarah Dyer and Benjamin Dewey. In this throwback to the solo Human Torch stories of the Silver Age, see what happens when Johnny Storm returns home for the first time in a long time, through the eyes of his old flame, Doris Evans, and reporter Marcia Hardesty. From ex-supervillains and strange souvenirs to a weenie roast on the beach and the lovable Inhuman Lockjaw, this story has it all.

In this next issue of Giant-Size X-Men, the artistic styling of Alan Davis and the amazing Nightcrawler receive the spotlight in GIANT SIZE X-MEN #1 NIGHTCRAWLER, written by Jonathan Hickman. When the X-Men lose contact with the Greymalkin Habitat, it's up to Nightcrawler to lead a team to find out why the habitat has gone dark.

When Professor X and Magneto created Krakoa, it was to be a home to all mutants, the good... and the bad. For a while, it was unknown what should be done with the worst of the worst, but it seems Mr. Sinister has the answer. He's decided to take his own selection of them, including Scalphunter, Wild Child, Empath, Nanny, Orphanmaker, Psyclocke and even Havok, and mold them into his own team, the Hellions. Find out whether this experiment is a failure or a success in HELLIONS #1 DX, from Zeb Wells and Stephen Segovia.

After fantastic facsimiles of Incredible Hulk #180 and #181, Marvel completes the story line spread across these issues with INCREDIBLE HULK #182 FACSIMILE EDITION, from Len Wein and Herb Trimpe. Wolverine has failed to stop the Hulk in a three way battle with the Wendigo, and Wolvie's bosses have decided to step in and clean up his mess, which only leads to an even bigger mess, courtesy of the dastardly duo of Hammer and Anvil. Don't miss out on this thrilling conclusion or the original ads from the 70s reprinted inside.

The march towards Marvel's spring (that's autumn for us) event, Empyre, begins with ROAD TO EMPYRE KREE SKRULL WAR #1, from Robbie Thompson, Mattia De Iulis and Javier Rodriguez. As conflict begins to renew itself and ramp up between the Skrulls and the Kree, the Warner family, in actuality an outcast family of Skrulls, must figure out what this will mean for the future of their race. Get caught up on the millenia long feud between these two alien races in this one issue, and be prepared for Empyre.

In the latest Transformers comic book crossover, the future of the Earth is doomed to be dominated by a force of robots, but which ones: the Decepticons or the T-800s? Find out which race of robots will be the chief threat in TRANSFORMERS VS TERMINATOR #1, from David Mariotte, Alex Milne and more. Or can the Autobots defeat both and ensure the continued safety of the human race?

The inspiration meets the inspired in Jeff Lemire and Michael Walsh's BLACK HAMMER JUSTICE LEAGUE HAMMER OF JUSTICE HC, which sees the heroes of Lemire's Black Hammer Universe meet the World's Greatest Superheroes of DC Comics, the Justice League. When an unusual man arrives at both the Black Hammer Farm and the city of Metropolis simultaneously, both parallel worlds are under threat from the might of the evil Starro, the Conqueror. It's going to take the combined might of the Black Hammer and Justice League teams to save both their worlds.

Doctor Victor von Doom is a man who is used to unlimited resources of power, wealth and influence, so how does he fare when all of these things are stripped away from him? That's just what Christopher Cantwell and Salvador Larroca are exploring in DOCTOR DOOM TP VOL 01 POTTERSVILLE, after an act of terrorism that costs many lives leaves Doom the prime suspect, and for once, he is actually innocent of the crime. Will the evil doctor manage to clear his name, or has his time finally run out?

After having it too good for too long, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev cranks up the heat and wipes out the intelligence services of the DC Universe in the espionage thriller that is EVENT LEVIATHAN HC. With the secret services all across the globe left in ruins, its up to Lois Lane to lead some of the world's greatest detectives, including Batman, the Question, Green Arrow, Plastic Man and Manhunter, in a mission to discover who is behind this nefarious organisation; who is Leviathan?

Carly Usdin and Nina Vakeuva return to bring you the next volume in their story all about cool teen girl vigilantes and rock bands with HEAVY VINYL TP VOL 02 Y2K-O. Chris is still living the teenage dream, working at a record store, fighting for justice in a vigilante group and rocking the crowds with her music in an all-girl band. But it's 1999, and with the year 2000 looming, the people are panicked by the supposedly impending doom that will be caused by Y2K. With this in mind, a shadowy corporation plans to use this fear to wipe out digital music once and for all, and its up to Chris and her band to stop them, while also competing for glory in the Battle of the Bands.

The X-Men are the present heroes of mutantkind, but the future of mutants will lie in the hands of a team of the freshest mutants in Krakoa, the New Mutants. A mix of classic members, such as Sunspot, Wolfsbane, Mirage, Karma, Magik and Cypher, and new members, including Chamber and Mondo, unite in the pages of NEW MUTANTS BY HICKMAN TP VOL 01, from Jonathan Hickman, Ed Brisson and Rod Reis, and they'll need each other to find an old friend, Cannonball.

Keiron Gillen and Dan Mora's story of urban fantasy mixed with a bit of Arthurian legend arrives in trade paperback format with ONCE & FUTURE TP VOL 01. A group of Nationalists have decided to cleanse their country by reviving a villain from the times of King Arthur, but even they can't control this ancient evil. Ex-monster hunter Bridgette McGuire used to take out monsters like these for breakfast, but now in her later years, she's decided to at last pass her mantle over to her grandson, Duncan, a museum curator with no idea that monsters exist. To stave off this terror, Duncan has one hell of a learning curve before him.

One of the most evil forces in the TMNT universe, the Shredder, may have finally met his match and lost his life for it against the Turtles, but that isn't going to keep Oroku Saki down. Trapped in the depths of hell, Saki will fight his way through hordes of demons and other supernatural foes in TMNT SHREDDER IN HELL TP from Mateus Santolouco, for a chance to survive and to learn the truth about his very soul.

Who will win this epic conflict, the assassin from the future, or the experienced spy fighting on her home turf?

After the Earth suffers devastation on a global scale, hundreds of millions die in the incident. But not long after the fallout, a few thousand survivors develop superpowers, but which of these new super-powered beings will work for the restructuring of mankind, and which will dedicate themselves to tearing down what remains?

Starring characters that any combination of guys, girls, monsters, mutants, superheroes, slackers, lowlives and an incredibly fast rat, check out your weirdness censor and test your limits with this collection of pure comic insanity.

If you're after a sci-fi story that's as erotic as it is exotic, then check out MONEY SHOT TP, from Sarah Beattie, Tim Seeley and Rebekah Isaacs. Space travel is sought after by many on the Earth, to escape their dull lives, but it is ludicrously expensive. But knowing what her species is like, human scientist Christine Ocampo has figured out the perfect way to afford space travel for her and her friends: by going out among the stars and sending back their sexual exploits to the people of Earth using the internet, then using the profits gained by that to keep on travelling. It's a win/win situation, and Chris and her merry band of scientists are going to enjoy each and every last pleasure it provides.

For fans of urban fantasy stories, you can't go wrong with a copy of NOMEN OMEN TP VOL 01 TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART, from Marco B. Bucci and Jacopo Camgni. Becky Kumar is a geeky twenty-year old from NYC, and also a daughter of three mothers, who's about to cross the border between our world and an ancient realm unlike any other, hiding the truth to unfathomable secrets.

From the acclaimed creator of the beloved Perry Bible Fellowship Almanack, Nicholas Gurewitch, comes NOTES CASE OF MELANCHOLIA OR A LITTLE DEATH HC. While we all know Death for his occupation of grim reaping, learn more about him as he visits a psychoanalyst to try and figur out why his troublesome child has no interest in taking up their dad's grisly job. Enjoy Gurewitch's labor of love and copious helpings of black comedy in this twisted family affair.

If you've stuck with Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici's Oblivion Song so far and are dying for some answers, then at last you're about to get some in OBLIVION SONG BY KIRKMAN & DE FELICI TP VOL 04, as the Faceless Men are revealed.

From the big screen to the comic book page, Detective Pikachu returns in a comic book adaptation of the hit movie with POKEMON DETECTIVE PIKACHU MOVIE GN, from Brian Buccellato and Nelson Daniel. Follow the journey of Tim Goodman in Ryme City, as he searches high and low for any trace of his missing father. New twists and turns lurk under every corner, but nothing surprises Tim more than his new detective partner, a walking, talking, coffee-addicted Pikachu. Experience the Pokemon world in a way unlike any before it, packed full of mysteries, and remember, you've got to solve them all.

Pretty Deadly returns for a third volume with series creators, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios, with the mysterious PRETTY DEADLY TP VOL 03 THE RAT. Set during the sun-soaked strips of Hollywood in the 1930s, the whole of California is about to be rocked by the murder of the granddaughter of Sara Fields. Desperate to catch the cold-blooded killer, the victim's uncle calls upon the Reaper of Vengeance to aid his manhunt, but at what cost?

Check back in with the divine that live amongst us in SAINT YOUNG MEN HC GN VOL 02, from Hikaru Nakamura. Living in a flat in western Tokyo, Jesus and Buddha are having a holiday from their divine duties and settle amongst the people of Japan. Adjusting to this unfamiliar lifestyle is still taking some time, but with patience, care and a little godly intervention, the pair will mage to fit right in.

Good things come in threes, and that include Trees, from Warren Ellis and Jason Howard, with the release of TREES TP VOL 03. When a body is found by the leg of a mysterious tree by Russian police sergeant Klara Voranova, she is still being haunted by the memory of the case over a decade later, little realising how this shocking murder will change everything she knows, and how her own fate is entangled with that of the Tree's shadow.

Batman: The Animated Series made many bold changes to the characters we know from the Batman mythology, but none proved more universally praised than Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's take on Mr. Freeze. Now you can own a huge, screen accurate figure of the villain with a heart of ice with the BATMAN ANIMATED MR FREEZE 1/6 SCALE COLLECTIBLE. Featuring 28 points of articulation and swappable hands, heads and weapons, this is the ultimate Mr. Freeze action figure.

The latest Master of the Universe figure replica from Super 7 is Skeletor, but now he comes in a new packaging with MOTU 5.5IN VINTAGE WAVE 4 SKELETOR AF JAPANESE BOX. Presented in a box that was originally going to be used for the Japanese release of the figure in the 80s, add this little piece of lost history to your collection today.

If there is something extra you are after make sure to get your requests to us before 5pm Monday to give us the best chance to secure you what you are after.

So until we see you next, stay healthy, live life and read comics!

ALL STAR , COVID-19 AND YOU




Hello comic friends and family.

Just a quick message to let you know that we are taking all precautions necessary to keeping All Star a Corona free zone. Aside for increasing our cleaning measures, an added bonus for us is that All Star generally doesn't have a large number of people in the store at the same time, helping keep our store a safe space to continue shopping in.

Currently we are still open for trade to the public (until recommended otherwise) but are already making plans for other options to ensure you have access to your Standing Order or comics and trades you are after (such as delivery) should the need arise, at which point you most definitely will be looking for some new reading material to keep yourself busy.

It goes without saying the health, safety and well being of our team and all of you in the extended All Star family has always been paramount to us and we'll be doing everything we can to continue being mindful of this through this event and into the future.

We already really appreciate that your support of the store but doubly so at times like this.

Stay safe, well and read comics.
Much love,
The All Star Crew.

New Comics For Wednesday 11th March


No need for panic. We got enough new comics for everyone...just don't ask us about Batman #89.
Get stuck into it.

With the Marvel Universe entering its final days, the last two beings left remaining, Franklin Richards and Galactus, make a record of the history of the Marvel Universe itself, which you can learn all about in HISTORY OF MARVEL UNIV TREASURY ED TP, from Mark Waid and Javier Rodriguez, and presented in a larger treasury format, the same format as the X-Men Grand Design books. See the unfolding and evolution of one of the greatest comic book worlds in history, from the Big Bang through to the end of the universe, and all the superheroic origins and endings that occur in between.

Most of us are familiar with the complicated history of Cable, the rebel mutant from a dark future, but even he was a young man once. Let Gerry Duggan and Phil Noto introduce you to a young Cable in CABLE #1 DX, where he lives in a paradise with his parents, Cyclops and Jean Grey. But seeing as he's destined to be a leader of rebellious mutants, Cable's figured he may as well start getting some experience in rebellion now. What kind of trouble will he get himself into, and even if he gets out of it, will Cable still grow up to be the same man?

The Silver Surfer is the next character to receive the Marvel Tales treatment with MARVEL TALES SILVER SURFER #1, featuring two big Silver Surfer stories from his past, one of which is a double-length extravaganza. The first story, from Gerry Conway and John Buscema, sees the Surfer team up with the Mighty Thor to combat the deadly Durok. The second story is twice the size and three times the team-up, as Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema take the Silver Surfer, the Incredible Hulk and Doctor Strange and use them to form the greatest non-team in Marvel history, the Defenders!

For lovers of the shadier underworld of Star Wars comes STAR WARS BOUNTY HUNTERS #1, from Ethan Sacks and Paolo Villanelli. What should have been an average job for bounty hunters Beilert Valance, Boba Fett and Bossk goes horribly awry after Valance's mentor, the dreaded Nakano Lash, betrays them. After the three barely manage to escape with their lives, Valance desires a chance for revenge that he never though he could have, until Lash resurfaces after years of hiding. Can Valance best every other bounty hunter in the galaxy to have his vengeance?

Kurt Busiek's new Marvel Snapshots line, a series of eight one-shots that shows Marvel's greatest heroes from the Golden Age through to today through the eyes of ordinary people, begins with SUB-MARINER MARVELS SNAPSHOT #1, from Alan Brennert and Jerry Ordway. In this first issue, Namor the Sub-Mariner, one of Marvel's first heroes, is attacked by a nefarious force while out with reporter Betty Dean in Palisades Park. As the soldiers from World War II begin to return home, they'll find the battlefields have returned with them as Namor and this latest villain tear up New York City.

Holy boy wonder sidekicks, Batman, it's DETECTIVE COMICS #38 FACSIMILE EDITION, a facsimile reprint of Robin's debut appearance! That's right, folks, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Robin, the sensational find of 1940, you can experience his tragic origin, by Bill Finger and Bob Kane. See how Batman meets his original partner in crime-fighting, as well as some other vintage comic adventures reprinted with original ads, including a Slam Bradley case from Superman co-creator, Jerry Siegel. 

Dipping into Scandinavian folklore, Mark Laszlo tells a chilling tale of malignant, parasitic spirits and long journeys in JIM HENSON STORYTELLER GHOSTS #1 (OF 4). As a man travels, he hears the wailing of a spirit from the forest, a spirit that demands passage to its burial site. Obligingly, the man carries the spirit on his back, but as he continues forward, the spirit grips him more tightly and the man feels his gait slowing. Can the traveler deposit his quarry before it kills him?

Jonathan Hickman and Mike Huddleston team up to tell you an action-packed story set in a world full of assassins in DECORUM #1 (OF 8). The main character, of course, is an assassin themselves, but this assassin outclasses the others in one important area: their manners, from their language to their kills. Find out how your good manners can get you ahead in the world, as an assassin, a courier or otherwise.

For decades, Detroit has had an avenger for justice in the form of the superhero, Stealth. But in STEALTH #1 (OF 6), from Mike Costa, Nate Bellegarde and Tamra Bonvillain, people are noticing that Stealth is taking his crusade for justice too far. While many people are quick to expect the worst of the veteran hero, only reporter Tony Barber knows the truth: the man named Stealth is an old man suffering from Alzheimer's, and that man is also his father. Can Tony convince his dad to step away from his mantle, or will the villains force him into an extreme retirement?

When young Effie runs away from home, she stumbles into a world unseen by the average human when she discovers a school for ghosts hidden in a forest in ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GHOSTS ORIGINAL GN, from Eisner award-winning writer, SM Vidaurri, and artist Hannah Krieger. But just as Effie begins to learn all the things ghosts can do, Effie's new ghostly friends ask her to find a missing spirit who wandered away from home. To succeed in this journey, Effie must not only learn that she has a special gift within her, she must also believe in it too. 

Within the Negative Zone, something is awakening, stirring and it's got the annihilation of the Marvel universe locked in its sights. As the Scourge begins to work its way out of the Negative Zone in ANNIHILATION SCOURGE TP, from creators including Matthew Rosenberg, Juanan Ramirez and more, can some of greatest heroes in the cosmos, including Nova, the Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill and the Fantastic Four, stop this new evil in its tracks? On top of that, why does Annihilus, the usual harbinger of annihilation, want to join the fight to stop the Scourge?

David Lapham's work on Detective Comics is finally reprinted in BATMAN CITY OF CRIME DELUXE EDITION HC which collects an epic crime drama as told by Lapham, Ramon Bachs and Nathan Massengill. As Batman tries to shut down a dangerous drug ring, Bruce Wayne finds himself drawn into a new conflict after he encounters a fourteen year old who is perilously close to the grim underworld of Gotham City.

Having been part of Marvel ever since its humble beginnings as Timely Comics, it's hard to picture a DC comic being made by Stan Lee. But now you don't have to imagine it anymore, as DC begins reprinting the special one-shots that presents Stan's unique take on the superheroes of the distinguished competition in JUST IMAGINE STAN LEE CREATING THE DC UNIVERSE TP BOOK 01. Within, see Stan Lee tackle heroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern and their super-team, the JLA, with art from all-star artists including Dave Gibbons, Jerry Ordway, Jim Lee, Joe Kubert, John Buscema, Kevin Maguire and more.

With the 100th issue in its sights, the road towards the triple digit issue of IDW's TMNT reaches its end in TMNT ONGOING TP VOL 23 CITY AT WAR PT 2, from Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz and Dave Wachter. New York City is at war, with the TMNT on one side and Karai, Agent Bishop, Old Hob and the Mutanimals, Metalhead, Leatherhead, the Pantheon and Hun on the other. Who will survive? Who will be forever changed by the war to end all wars?

The United States of America is fighting a war on two fronts in NORTH BEND #1, a new series from Ryan Ellsworth and Rob Carey. Trying to fight against the foreign forces of Russia was hard enough, but the government also must contend with a collapsing economy and political revolution. To at least regain control of their citizens, the CIA has tasked DEA Agent Brendan Kruge to use a mind-controlling drug as an experiment on unwitting Americans, but is this a step too far for Brendan, even for the sake of saving the country he has sworn to protect?

After the power grid goes out and the computing cloud goes offline, the tech savvy students of Metropolis High, and our favourite DC Super Hero Girls, are going to have to learn how to get by without technology in DC SUPER HERO GIRLS POWERLESS TP, from Amy Wolfram and Agnes Garbowska. While most students just how to figure out how cash works, some heroes are more affected, such as poor Batgirl, who can't get to school on time without her tech, and Bumblebee seems to have disappeared on top of it all. With half the team out of commission, can the Super Hero Girls find a way to restore the power and their way of life?

In his latest graphic novel, Gene Luen Yang puts his life, family and the high school he teaches at in the spotlight with DRAGON HOOPS HC GN. Sports are not a big part of Gene's life, but at the high school he teaches at, it's all anyone can talk about, especially in regard to their varsity mens basketball team, the Dragons. With the team doing so well after decades of failure, Gene takes the time to get to know the all star students playing in the team, and soon finds that this basketball season won't just change these young men's lives, but his own as well.

There's always been something about the north of England that makes it the perfect setting for stories full of witchcraft and murder mysteries, and now you can see it for yourself in NICNEVIN AND BLOODY QUEEN GN, from Helen Mullane, Dom Reardon and Matthew Dow Smith. In an attempt to unleash the great, terrible power of the ancient gods of Great Britain, a modern day druid has committed an horrific series of murders. Just as he is one victim away from fruition, his plans are suddenly halted after his latest prey, Nicnevin "Nissy" Oswald, turns out to be more than she seems.

With great powers and a good sense of right and wrong, Gamma Rae wants nothing more than to become a superhero in PRETTY VIOLENT TP VOL 01 from Derek Hunter and Jason Young. Normally, that would be such an admirable goal, but with all her siblings themselves being super villains, Gamma has become the black sheep of the family. Can Gamma win the respect of the superhero community, and can she do it without her super villain family trying to kill all her new friends?

Dig, a young wizard, can't seem to catch a break after his bag breaks and then he's kidnapped by an evil cult in an underground city. But a bad day for Dig is a good day for his two new cellmates, Iana and Crina, for with his magic, they at last have a chance to break free of their prison. Can the trio escape the evil clutches of the Blood Cultists, or are they doomed to remain prisoners for ever? Find out in a copy of THE SUNKEN TOWER HC GN, from creator Tait Howard.

Experience some of the earliest comics featuring the Transformers with TRANSFORMERS CLASSIC TV MAGAZINE MANGA HC VOL 01, from Masumi Kaneda and Ban Magami, which recollects classic manga stories such as "Fight! Super Robot Life-Form Transformers!" and "The Great Transformer War". If those stories aren't enough for you, there is also an extensive art gallery that gives you extra insight behind the creation of this timeless manga.

Both icons of the 1980s, it was only a matter of time before the Ghostbusters and the Transformers would crossover, but no-one could have foreseen one of the greatest additions to their respective lores, Ectotron! A paranormal investigator in the form of a transforming Ecto-1 Cadillac, the vehicle of choice for Ghostbusters everywhere, is now available to liven up your collection with the TRANSFORMERS GEN GHOSTBUSTERS ECTOTRON AF CS, the ultimate toy to celebrate both the legacies of the Ghostbusters and the Transformers.

If there is something extra you are after make sure to get your requests to us before 5pm Monday to give us the best chance to secure you what you are after.

So until we see you next, have a great week, live life and read comics!
