New Comics For Wednesday 9th October


Daylight savings is HERE! You know what that means? An extra hour of daylight to enjoy reading comics in...just like these ones!

The entire world knows his name, but take a moment to revisit Spider-Man and Peter Parker's humble origins with the AMAZING FANTASY #15 FACSIMILE EDITION, from Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. When this book hit the shelves, little did anyone know what a powerhouse of comic book storytelling had been unleashed upon the world, and now you can see how it all began, vintage ads and all.

For decades, Doctor Doom has plagued the Earth, the Fantastic Four and Reed Richards; able to escape retribution by hiding behind his diplomatic immunity, as well as his country of Latveria. But now Christopher Cantwell and Salvador Larroca cut him down to size in DOCTOR DOOM #1, where, following an act of terrorism that cost thousands of lives, Victor Von Doom is at the top of the suspect list. Now the most wanted man in the world, he's lost all his political power and must rely only upon himself to prove his innocence... of this crime, at least.

With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker only mere months away from concluding an epic saga, get yourself ready with JOURNEY STAR WARS RISE SKYWALKER ALLEGIANCE #1, from Ethan Sacks and Luke Ross. Picking up from where The Last Jedi left off, the Resistance is in dire need of weapons, ships, and allies for their final stand against the First Order. General Leia Organa and Rey are trying to recruit former Rebel allies, the Mon Calamari, whilst Poe and Finn seek a weapons cache on the moon of Avedot; but they're not alone, with deadly criminals after their heads stalking the moon's surface.

For the past eleven weeks, Jonathan Hickman has taken us all through a journey of mutantkind's rise and fall. Now he ties up the last of those loose ends with POWERS OF X #6 (OF 6), featuring stunning artwork from RB Silva. See the final stones of the foundation, upon which years worth of future X-Men stories will be built on, laid.

Experience one of Batman's most horrific cases of all time with BATMANS GRAVE #1 (OF 12), from two masters of modern comics, Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch. Inhabiting the mind of a murder victim, who's missing half of his face, Batman must try to solve the case before he loses his sanity, not to mention, his life. Can even the World's Greatest Detective pull it off? Or will he just end up another victim himself?

The deadly love life of Harley Quinn and the Joker is presented unlike ever before in JOKER HARLEY CRIMINAL SANITY #1 (OF 9), from Kami Garcia, Mico Suayan and Mike Mayhew. Dr. Harleen Quinzel is a forensic psychologist for the GCPD, and she helps solve many a crime with her profiling abilities. But a five year old case, where her roommate was murdered by the serial killer called Joker, has stuck with her, and it's starting to make her go crazy as she tries to analyze his sick, pervasive mindset. See how that leads Dr. Quinzel down the road to become none other than Harley Quinn.

Now that Lex Luthor has incited Doom all over the world, the Joker has to work extra hard to wreak the most havoc in JOKER YEAR OF THE VILLAIN #1, from horror director extraordinaire John Carpenter, Anthony Burch and Phillip Tan. See what twisted lengths the Clown Prince of Crime will go to so as to ensure that he is the last man laughing.

In a world that is overrun with monsters, collectively known as the Grimm, Beacon Academy takes in the best and brightest students to turn them into the next generation of hunters and huntresses. Now you can see what the latest intake of students get up to in RWBY #1 (OF 7), from Marguerite Bennett and Mirka Andolfo, which also ties into the popular Rooster Teeth RWBY animated web series.

With Halloween only weeks away, the time for stories all spooky and scary are precisely what the witch doctor ordered, so be sure to grab a copy of SECRETS OF SINISTER HOUSE #1, which sees your favourite DC heroes and villains in tales of terror and fear. Featuring work from Paul Dini, Rafael Albuquerque, Bryan Hill, Jorge Fornes and more, uncover what's hiding in the dark corners of the DC Universe, including a return to world of Red Rain, where a vampiric Batman stalks the gothic streets of Gotham.

A good comic book series always has an event waiting in the wings, and now its time for Buffy the Vampire Slayer to have hers, beginning with BUFFY VAMPIRE SLAYER ANGEL HELLMOUTH #1, from Jordie Bellaire, Jeremy Lambert and Eleonora Carlini. As a slayer, Buffy was tasked with keeping the forces of hell from invading the Earth through the Hellmouth, but she has failed. Mistress Drusilla and her ally, Spike, have returned, and Buffy has little recourse but to ally herself with a stranger, the vampire seeking redemption, Angel. Are these two the only hope left to seal Hellmouth and return Mistress Drusilla back under the Earth?

Relive one of the greatest 80s movies of all time, the Karate Kid, but through the eyes of its antagonist, Johnny Lawrence, in COBRA KAI KARATE KID SAGA CONTINUES #1 (OF 4), from Denton Tipton and Kagan McLeod. Having already been a karate champion two years running, Johnny finds his world turned upside down with the arrival of a new student, who is also aiming to become a karate champion and has won the heart of the girl who rejected Johnny. Now, Johnny is going to win back not just his pride, but his old flame too. But is his version of events more, or less, reliable than what was seen on film?

Following the momentous three hundredth issue, Todd McFarlane is back to smash the record for longest running independent comic book with SPAWN #301, as both writer and artist. Also featuring work from Greg Capullo, Clayton Crain, Jerome Opena and more, don't miss out on a slice of comics history.

The DC Superhero Girls are off to Metropolis High School in DC SUPER HERO GIRLS AT METROPOLIS HIGH TP, from Amy Wolfram and Yancy Labat. But with all their superheroing, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Green Lantern, Bumblebee and Zatanna are always late to school, and now they've been sentenced to join an after school club for a whole week. However, that's easier said than done, as the girls find themselves kicked out of their favourite clubs not long after joining them, and evil isn't about to take a break either. What's a superhero girl to do?

Some of the most memorable villains to come out of Power Rangers In Space, the Psycho Rangers, are back in their own original graphic novel, POWER RANGERS PSYCHO PATH ORIGINAL GN, from Paul Allor and Giuseppe Cafaro. But who brought them back, and for what nefarious purpose? Red Space Ranger Andros and his sister, Pink Space Ranger Karone, who created the Psycho Rangers when she was corrupted by evil, will navigate the dark depths of space to find the answers.

More lighthearted, romantic misadventures await you in SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE GN TP UNEXPECTED THING, from Sean McKeever and Takeshi Miyaza. Mary Jane is about to finally have her dream date with none other than Spider-Man, though first, she has to get through a date with the dorky Peter Parker. MJ now has to choose between the two suitors, but maybe that choice will get a lot easier to make once Gwen Stacy enters the frame and sets her sights on Peter. But little does anyone know the true ties that bind Peter, Spider-Man, Mary Jane and Gwen together.

Go back in time to the days of World War II and the Golden Age of Superheroes in the Black Hammer universe with BLACK HAMMER 45 WORLD OF BLACK HAMMER TP VOL 01, from Jeff Lemire, Ray Fawkes, Matt and Sharlene Kindt. Amongst all these heroes was the elite Air Force team, the Black Hammer Squadron, who combated threats of the Nazis, the occult and the ultimate fighter plane pilot, the Ghost Hunter. Experience all the highs and lows of the Black Hammer Squadron, and be gripped by the excitement the story brings.

Before breaking into the world of comic books, Craig Thompson and his brother Phil worked hard on a Wisconsin farm for ten years; the experiences of which he uses to bring you GINSENG ROOTS #1. Within, you'll find a story that looks at the politics between North America and China, how the export of ginseng works in the economy and best of all, the bond between two brothers other the course of those ten years.

Imagine the no-nonsense, Magnum-wielding Dirty Harry as a store security guard and you have yourself SHOPLIFTERS WILL BE LIQUIDATED #1, from Patrick Kindlon and Stefano Simeone. The world's largest retailer needs the best of the best to secure its interests, which is precisely who Security Officer Nussbaum is. With his shoot first, ask questions never mentality, he's in for a serious shock when he learns of a society that lives beneath the behemoth retail store. How will this affect Nussbaum, and what can it tell us about our consumerism society of today?

From the Eisner award-winning creator, Tillie Walden, comes her latest graphic novel of friendship, grief and moving on, ARE YOU LISTENING GN. Lou was already on her own journey when she comes across Bea, who is on the run and also looking to start her own personal journey. With neither of them sure where to go, they drive, and experience encounters that make them learn more about themselves and how to move on from what they left behind. Is there a final destination in mind, or is it only about the journey itself?

Hannah and Johnny are a husband and wife couple, living the hard life in the back of a truck in HARD TOMORROW HC, from Eleanor Davis. Hannah is the socially aware, thirty-something, home-health and antiwar activist, whilst her husband is high as a kite and trying to build them a house before the winter sets in. Through the lens of their lives, Davis tells a story of human companionship and how it helps us get through even the hardest of tomorrows.

Nova Huang lives in a world of modern fantasy, working at her grandmother's spell book shop by day and hunts down supernatural beings by night. Tam Lang, Nova's first crush, is a nomadic, genderqueer werewolf who has just found themselves back in their New England hometown. That is where things begin in MOONCAKES GN, from Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu, as a friendship is about to be rekindled and one of the biggest supernatural threats is right on their doorstep, and they'll need to unite to stop it.

There's a real treat for Steven Universe fans here as PUG DAVIS TP, from creator of Steven Universe, Rebecca Sugar, hits the shelves. Pug Davis is a gruff space hero, renowned for his stupendous feats of braver; he also has the head of a pug. His partner is the sensitive Blouse, who is the total opposite of Pug, but together, they fight and defeat threats from across the galaxy so that you don't have to worry about them on Earth. Come for the space battles, stay for the clash of personalities!

Christine is an everyday youngster living in a Chinese-American suburb, but she is enamored by another girl her age who lives in the same suburb, Moon. Moon is everything that Christine isn't: confident, artistic and impulsive; so when Moon suddenly becomes her next-door neighbor, two unlikely friends soon become best friends in STARGAZING GN, from Jen Wang. But even Christine couldn't guess Moon's biggest secret: that she receives visions from other-worldly beings that tell her she doesn't belong on Earth. But when Moon finds herself fighting for her life in hospital, from a condition that spawns those visions, can Christine be the friend she needs?

Television and entertainment as we know it today is completely different to what it was five or six decades ago, and for that, we have Rod Serling to thank when he revolutionised storytelling for the small screen. To learn about the industry changes he made, check out a copy of TWILIGHT MAN ROD SERLING BIRTH OF TELEVISION SC, from Koren Shadmi, which tracks Serling's rise during the Golden Age of Television and the creation of the Twilight Zone.

Garth Ennis and Goran Sudzuka return to warp the reality of FBI Agents Shaw and McGregor in WALK THROUGH HELL TP VOL 02. The agents encounter Paul Carnahan, a child-killer who died before they could bring him to justice, as their guide to the twisted dimension of terror, but can they trust him to navigate them safely, or have they sealed their fate by trusting him?

That extra hour is not gonna nearly enough time to get all this reading done, still what an impressive list, right?!
As always, spot thing extra you are after, please much sure to request it before close Tuesday so we can do our best to secure you a copy.
Until we see you next, have a great week, live life and read comics!
