Phew! It's been a busy few weeks for us but finally it's a week where we can just focus on the important things in life...like this week's COMICS!
Another side of the X-Men's operations in the utopia that is the Age of X-Man is explored in Leah Williams and Georges Jeanty's AGE OF X-MAN X-TREMISTS #1 (OF 5). Not every threat can be publicized, and its up to Psylocke, Iceman, Northstar, Blob, Jubilee and Moneta, as the X-Tremists, to quietly deal with these evils so the public eye never need know about them.
If you're as excited for the new Captain Marvel film as we are, then you'll want every comic you can get your hands on featuring Carol Danvers. In which case, you can't pass on a copy of Jody Houser and Simone Buonfantino's one-shot, CAPTAIN MARVEL BRAVER & MIGHTIER #1. In recognition of her service to the planet Earth, Carol's heroics have earned her a day of celebration in her name. But with an alien invasion threatening her home, will Captain Marvel be able to make it to the festivities?
Just like the first issue, Marvel isn't giving any plot details away for Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto's DAREDEVIL #2. But after that first issue, you'd be mad to let #2 slip through your fingers, so make sure you come back this week to secure your copy.
The last stop before the momentous 1000th issue arrives with Peter Tomasi and Doug Mahnke's DETECTIVE COMICS #999, where the truth of who is behind the gauntlet ripped from Batman's past is revealed. The mastermind behind Bruce's latest pain has to be seen to be believed, and by the time you get over the shock, issue #1000 will be right on our doorstep.
Things come to a head for Batman and the Flash in FLASH #65 THE PRICE, from Joshua Williamson and Rafael Sandoval, which concludes the 4-part crossover, The Price. The Flash and Batman, DC Comics' two greatest detectives, try to solve a cold case before they tear each other part following the Sanctuary Incident. But maybe Gotham Girl will do the job for them, if she gets her way.
Tom King reunites with his Mister Miracle partner-in-crime Mitch Gerads for HEROES IN CRISIS #6 (OF 9), which will reveal more about the inner workings of superhero trauma rehabilitation facility, the Sanctuary. A place where heroes can relive their greatest tragedies, and come to terms with it. However, even an AI program can only take so much, and one hero's horror may be what led to failure and exposure of the facility. But who is the mysterious culprit?
Geeky adolescent Fergie Ferguson and his ghostly BF, Sid, a former punk rocker, are on the run and are currently hiding in London in PUNKS NOT DEAD LONDON CALLING #1, from David Barnett and Martin Simmonds. Accused of a murder they didn't exactly commit, they'll have to avoid not only the police, but also the agents of a paranormal investigative agency. All that and magpie monsters, too!
The Jinxworld library keep expanding, and now it welcomes another of Brian Michael Bendis' first works with FIRE TP NEW ED. Set during the Reagan era of American politics, with basis on real events in the intelligence community, an average college student is taken in by the government and offered the training to become one of his country's top secret agents.
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps were dealt a deadly blow in the 90s, but it was Geoff Johns in the 2000s who restored them to great heights. Now you can experience the rebirth of one of comics' greatest space-faring heroes in GREEN LANTERN BY GEOFF JOHNS TP BOOK 01, which collects Johns' run from the start, which makes for a great place for anyone wanting to check out Green Lantern for the first time.
Kengo Hanazawa's zombie survival manga returns for another omnibus-sized volume with I AM A HERO OMNIBUS TP VOL 09. The cult leader Asada and his followers have taken over a high-rise apartment building, but Korori Nakata and some survivors loyal to him decide they'd have a better chance at life if they broke away. That leads to a meeting between Korori and our heroes Hideo and Hiromi, with a tidal wave of zombies threatening them inbetween.
One of the hottest couples in the Marvel Universe have tied the knot, and now Rogue and Gambit are Mr and Mrs X! Kelly Thompson and Oscar Bazaldua's new ongoing series hits the trade paperback with MR AND MRS X TP VOL 01 LOVE AND MARRIAGE, where you can get a close look at how the new couple spend the rest of their lives as husband and wife.
With the imminent release of the new Shazam! movie upon us, now's the best time to check out Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's revamped origin story with SHAZAM ORIGINS TP NEW ED, featuring a photo cover with the film's star, Zachary Levi. Billy Batson, an orphan living with a foster family, discovers the power of Shazam! and must learn not only how to control that power, but how to be a proper part of a new family.
In the age of nuclear science in the 1950s, Dr. Randolph Stein is plunging down into the watery depths of the ocean to prove the existence of Atlantis in Peter Milligan and Esad Ribic's SUB-MARINER TP DEPTHS (NEW PTG). But he must contend with the man who protects the lost city, the mythical Sub-Mariner, to prove his theory, and if that wasn't enough, Stein's own suspicious crew might also thwart his attempts.
This book certainly lives up to its name, as the fallout of Dark Nights: Metal continues in UNEXPECTED CALL OF THE UNKNOWN TP. Paramedic Janet Fals finds her heart has been replaced by a device called the Conflict Engine, which can only be powered by battle. Now she fights to protect the innocent, and defend herself against those who want the power of the Conflict Engine in this collected edition.
The mighty Mongol Empire left behind a legacy of bloodshed and death as they conquered all from Siberia to Carpathia. But what the legends don't tell of is the witch who accompanied them, a witch capable of amplifying the violence in anyone's heart, and was only known as the War Monger. After many centuries, the War Monger returns once more in Tini Howard and Amilcar Pinna's FORGOTTEN QUEEN #1.
Abby Jame presents a most unusual story with EMOTIONAL DATA ONE SHOT. A young woman, named Tink, was born in a test tube, designed to be a political weapon. But now that she's all grown up, all she does is get drunk and want a man named Brad. Until she meets a robotic slave angel named Amanda, then her life truly gets started.
We've seen many an epic stunt in a movie or comic book and wished we could do it for real. It's a fantasy for us, but in SWEETIE #1, from Sean Dillon and Steven Petrivelli, it's reality for Maggie, and avid fan of pop culture. By watching movies and reading comics, she's become a self-taught superhero. So when a villainous mastermind hits the scene, the time has come to put her skills to the ultimate test.
The planet of Mora and its people is dependent on the mineral known as Glint, but a slowing supply has lead to increased mining activity in Samuel Sattin and Ian McGinty's GLINT GN BOOK 01 CLOUD RAIDERS. However, a miner named Loon has tired of the constant repetition of the mining life and joins up with the military. Striving for glory, he may soon wish he was back in the darkness of the mines...
Teenage girls can be fearsome, but they've never been more terrifying than in Chelsea Cain and Kate Niemczyk's MAN-EATERS TP VOL 01. These teenage girls literally get monstrous as they turn into wildcats, hungry for human flesh. Twelve year-old Maude's father is investigating some of the strange wildcat murders, and she is worried she may be the culprit!
Following the events of Man of Steel, Brian Michael Bendis gets his creative mind in gear, with Ivan Reis on art, as he pits Superman against Rogol Zarr once more in SUPERMAN HC VOL 01 THE UNITY SAGA. But now that the Earth has been pulled into the Phantom Zone, will Superman be able to save the Earth as well as himself? Plus, who is his strange new ally?
One of the quirkiest new series of 2018 hits the trade paperback with Jody LeHeup and Dave Steward's WEATHERMAN TP VOL 01. Mars weatherman, Nathan Bright, had it all: a girlfriend, a loyal dog and a job that brought him the fame he craved. But when he's accused of the worst terrorist attack on the Earth, and with no memories to make an alibi, he's become the solar system's most wanted.
There have been many great book released so far this year, and some have already come and gone. But thankfully, some of the very best have received new printings, such as BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #1 (2ND PTG) & YOUNG JUSTICE #1 2ND PTG, the first issues in what will become acclaimed series. But if you're after something more complete, then the complete limited series of LIFE OF CAPTAIN MARVEL TP and MISTER MIRACLE TP are right up your alley. But you better be quick, they're not gonna last much longer than their predecessors.
