New Comics For Wednesday 1st January

It's the end of the year. We made it. I know, we can't believe it either!

What a ride and it looks like this shipment is going to start the new year with a BANG!

Begin the new year the super way, with SUPERMAN GIANT #1, a super-sized, 100 page special Superman comic. Featuring a brand new story from Robert Venditti, Paul Pelletier and Andrew Hennessy that pits the Man of Tomorrow against the power-draining Parasite. In addition to that new story, you'll also get three reprinted stories, featuring a battle against Bizarrogirl; Superman's biggest conflict with Brainiac and a desperate escape from Dinosaur Island. This comic has it all, don't miss out.

At long last, Clint Barton is the star of a new ongoing book, beginning with HAWKEYE FREEFALL #1 from Matthew Rosenberg and Otto Schmidt. Things were already going pretty badly for Hawkeye, after he ends up on the worst side of an encounter with the Hood, but things escalate when a new criminal surfaces, going by one of Clint's old identities, Ronin. What will happen when these two unstoppable forces come face to face?

With Marvel's first ongoing Star Wars series reaching its conclusion, the gap between Episode IV and V had been filled. Now, Charles Soule and Jesus Saiz forge ahead with STAR WARS #1 to tell the story of what occurred between Episode V and VI. Luke Skywalker's world has been rocked with five words, "No... I am your father". Can Luke come to terms with the truth about Darth Vader and his father, while he works with Leia, Chewie and Lando Calrissian to free Han Solo from his carbonite prison in Jabba's Palace?

Alan Davis and Paul Renaud unite to bring you a team up with Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers, and its greatest non-team, the Defenders, which kicks off in TAROT #1. When a repressed, forgotten memory from World War II surfaces in Namor's mind, he turns to one-time WWII ally Captain America to learn whether it could have happened or not. What follows will lead the Avengers and the original Defenders into a web of mystery, intrigue and pain.

With Jason Aaron's long-lauded run on Thor at an end, Donny Cates and Nic Klein step in to take the reins with THOR #1. No longer a prince, and now a king, Thor, God of Thunder, rules over Asgard, which is finally experiencing peace after the War of the Realms. But that peace was never designed to last for long, as the Black Winter begins to approach the Ten Realms, and even Thor won't be prepared for when they hit.

When you die, that's the end for you. Unless you know a guy called Denny Little, who can provide you with a new life by transplanting your soul into a new, living body, for a modest fee. But in I CAN SELL YOU A BODY #1, from Ryan Ferrier and George Kambadais, Denny's little venture may end as badly as his TV psychic gig ended, after a hefty price is put on his head, thanks to a murdered mafioso. Now Denny has only 48 hours to save his own life, or face the final end.

New year, new you and new books! With 2020 only days away, start you year with a copy of PREVIEWS #376 JANUARY 2020, and start planning ahead what awesome new books, what fantastic new toys you want to grab. Make sure nothing you're after slips past your notice with the latest Previews. If you can't source a copy or stop by the store to check out the store copy, keep a look out on social media for our January Previews album, which will feature the cream of the crop of the latest solicitations.

The Huntress is wanted for murder, and with the GCPD and the Bat-Family looking to bring her in, she will have to team up with the question to discover who framed her in BIRDS OF PREY HUNTRESS TP, from Greg Rucka, Rick Burchett and Terry Beatty. But the deeper the Huntress and Question dig, the more the murders implicate her in the crimes, and all roads lead to an unforgettable showdown between Huntress and the Batman.

Black Bolt, the King of the Inhumans, has been imprisoned by unknown assailants, and now he must find his way back to his people in BLACK BOLT HC, which collects the entire Eisner award winning series from Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward. But who is powerful enough to keep the king at bay; and even if he can succeed in his escape and survive the deadly journey home, will his people still welcome him?

Now with her own ongoing series, Felicia Hardy has been able to flourish as a character like never before. But if you haven't been keeping up with the single issues, now's your chance to get caught up with BLACK CAT TP VOL 01 GRAND THEFT MARVEL, from Jed MacKay, Nao Fuji, Travel Foreman and more. The Black cat enjoys the finer things in life, and won't let anything as pesky as rightful ownership get between her and what she wants. But now getting what she wants will be a little more difficult, with the entire Thieves Guild of New York after her, and that's only the beginning.

The heroes of the future of the Black Hammer universe may be taking early retirement on the Farmworld in BLACK HAMMER TP VOL 04 AGE OF DOOM PART II, from Jeff Lemire, Dean Ormston, Rich Tommaso and Dave Stewart. Gifted with everything they could want, will they be able to succumb to that nagging feeling that something is amiss, or will the future fall to evil?

Before she became Wonder Woman, Diana Prince grew up on the paradise island of Themyscira with her mother and several "aunties", all of them powerful Amazons. But even with all the Amazons, Diana grew up lonely, an only child, so she sets out to find herself a friend in DIANA PRINCESS OF THE AMAZONS TP, from Shannon & Dean Hale and Victoria Ying. Where can she find such a friend, and how far will she need to take matters into her own hands to she doesn't have to feel so alone anymore?

From Art Baltazar comes a fun, imaginative story for everyone of all ages with DREW & JOT DUELING DOODLES ORIGINAL GN HC. Starring an aspiring young artist named Andrew, he escapes his real life adventures by creating fantastic stories starring his two heroes, Drew and Jot. With his friend Foz, Andrew keeps adding to his world of Drew and Jot, but when Andrew's little sister adds an unexpected extra doodle, Drew and Jot will experience a change unlike ever before.

In the biggest crossover in comics ever, Batman and his Insurgency from the Injustice universe call into the world of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe to find recruits to take down a corrupted Superman in INJUSTICE VS THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE TP, from Tim Seeley and Freddie Williams II. But in trying to secure his world's future, Batman has allowed He-Man's home of Eternia to be left at the mercy of the one and only... Darkseid.

Following Van Jensen's popular adaptation of Ian Fleming's debut James Bond novel, Casino Royale, he's back, with artist Kewber Baal, to bring you 007's next adventure, as Ian Fleming originally imagined it with JAMES BOND LIVE & LET DIE HC. Gone are the overly fantastical elements from the movies, and in its stead is left a gritty action-adventure, that moves from New York City to Jamaica, and will see Bond in for the fight of his life against the SMERSH gold-smuggling agent, Mr. Big.

In Andrea Amenta and Stefano Cardoselli's PLANET CARAVAN TP, the future is embroiled in the flames of galactic war, with corporations and big business looking to make a killing, both on the stock market and in body count. One of these foot soldiers of conquest, Jason, must fight, not just for his employer's agenda, but to keep his own sanity, with only the memories of his wife, Grace, to ground him. Eventually, he'll find his way back to Earth, only to find what the true cost of war is when he arrives.

For many, it is difficult to find your unique place in the universe among billions of others. That inner turmoil can best be seen in Rey from the new Star Wars sequel trilogy of films, and now the concept is further explored in an exciting, all ages book with STAR WARS RISE OF SKYWALKER GALAXY NEEDS YOU HC, from Caitlin Kennedy and Eda Kaban.

Join Wonder Woman in a brand new, young adult graphic novel adventure with WONDER WOMAN WARBRINGER TP from Louise Simonson, Leigh Bardugo and Kit Seaton. Just as Diana was about to prove her mettle as an Amazon to her fellow warrior sisters, her chance for glory is thrown aside when she rescues a mortal, Alia Keralis. But Alia is not as mere a mortal as she at first seems, being a Warbringer descended from Helen of Troy, destined to herald in an age of horror and bloodshed. Can Diana and Alia work together to prove this superstition wrong, or will the prophecy come to pass?

Continue your collection of retro-style Masters of the Universe action figures with both MOTU 5.5IN VINTAGE WAVE 4 BUZZ-OFF ACTION FIGURE & MOTU 5.5IN VINTAGE WAVE 4 EVIL-LYNN ACTION FIGURE. With their new, modern builds, these are the figures that look like they came right out of the 80s, but with a sturdiness and durability kids back then could only dream of.

Let us know if there is anything extra we need to stash for you before close on Tuesday.
Remember take care of yourselves on NYE and we'll see you next year!

The four robots, one a soldier, an addict, another a murder and the fourth one a child, will be linked together with a kill lock.

New Comics For Wednesday 18th December

IT'S AN ALMOST XMAS....MONSTER!!!

EVERYBODY RUN!!!
This week's shipment is one of the BIGGEST we have ever faced and we need your help to make sure it doesn't bury us alive!
Check below at your own risk and let's get festive.

The fight for the future reaches it's timely conclusion with 2099 OMEGA #1, from Nick Spencer and Gerardo Sandoval. With the evil Dr. Doom in charge, and not a superhero around to stop him, Marvel in 2099 in a rough place to live, and with power left unbridled and no responsibility to channel it properly, is there any hope for a better future left?

Matthew Rosenberg and Manuel Garcia bring you ANNIHILATION SCOURGE OMEGA #1, which will present the state of the Marvel Universe after the Scourge's incursion. There is no more room for heroes or villains now, there is nothing left for the people but one thing... survival.

Following his return to Marvel after evolving the DC Universe with his New Gods, Jack Kirby was ready to upgrade Marvel's cosmic universe, beginning with the Eternals. Find out how it all begins with ETERNALS #1 FACSIMILE EDITION, which faithfully reproduces the first issue starring the eponymous characters, complete with original ads from the 1970s. If you're curious about the Eternals movie, check this one out to learn more about the MCU's latest debutantes.

With a brand new Annihilation event happening, get yourself acquainted with some it's big players with MARVEL TALES ANNIHILATION #1, featuring work from creators such as Steve Gerber, Don Heck, Jim Starlin, John Byrne and more. First off is a story from Daredevil that sees Heather Douglas first take on the name Moondragon; then find out who would win in a brawl between Wendell Vaughn, AKA Quasar, and the Thing when a case of mistaken identity comes between them and then the collection is rounded off with a team up between Daredevil, Captain America and Darkhawk. If you've never read any comics featuring Moondragon, Quasar or Darkhawk, you're missing out, and can't afford to pass on this great introductory issue.

The chain-wielding, bike riding, skull-flaming Frank Castle is back as the Cosmic Ghost Rider in a brand new miniseries, beginning with REVENGE OF COSMIC GHOST RIDER #1 (OF 5), from Dennis Hallum and Scott Hepburn. With the death of baby Thanos and his meddling in Marvel history, amongst other things, on his rap sheet, it was only a matter of time before the law caught up with Castle. But is there a prison in the cosmos that can keep the Cosmic Ghost Rider in chains? Also, Cosmic Ghost Rider creators, Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw return with a new short story, just to sweeten the deal.

With the dream team of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo scoring win after win for the Rebel Alliance against the Empire, the rebels have managed to establish a new hidden base on the icy planet of Hoth. But we all know where this leads, so find out how the Empire begins to strike back in STAR WARS EMPIRE ASCENDANT #1, from Charles Soule, Caspar Wijngaard and more.

Ben Solo, the Force-sensitive child of Leia Organa and Han Solo, is training to become a Jedi Knight with his uncle, Luke Skywalker. He may very well be the ultimate champion of the light, but with Skywalker blood in his veins, he is just as susceptible to falling to the Dark Side. Watch Ben's fall into becoming the dreaded Kylo Ren with STAR WARS RISE KYLO REN #1 (OF 4), from Charles Soule and Will Sliney.

A good man amongst an entire city of corrupt cops, Jim Gordon was a driving force for justice in Gotham City. But without his honour and sense of right and wrong, that force for good will be corrupted into a force for doom, just as the Batman Who Laughs has planned in INFECTED THE COMMISSIONER #1, from Paul Jenkins and Jack Herbert.

Carmen Maria Machado and Dani present the latest nightmarish series to come from Hill House Comics, and it all kicks off with LOW LOW WOODS #1 (OF 6). In the chilling town, Shudder-To-Think, Philadelphia, weird things inhabit the area, from rabbits with human eyes to a deer woman stalking hungry girls. In this town, two teenagers, El and Octavia, awake in a movie theatre with no memory of the last few hours of their lives, and what they discover in their town will frighten them unlike anything else before.

From the creative duo that brought you the acclaimed Injustice comics, Melbourne's very own Tom Taylor and artist Bruno Redondo, revitalize Task Force X with a brand new series, starting with SUICIDE SQUAD #1. A new team of super-terrorists, the Revolutionaries, are kicking up all sorts of horrific mayhem, and this brand new Suicide Squad, featuring old hands, Harley Quinn and Deadshot, working with new villains forced to do good. How will they fare, and who are all these new squaddies?

Gene Luen Yang's update on the classic Superman radio play, the Clan of the Fiery Cross, continues with SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN #2 (OF 3), featuring more astounding artwork from Gurihiru. Tommy Lee, whose family has been target by the clan, has been kidnapped, and now Superman and Roberta, Tommy's sister, are on the lookout for him. But this Superman, in 1946, hasn't developed all his powers yet; he can't even fly! Will he still be more than a match for the fearsome Clan of the Fiery Cross?

We've seen Batman damned, we've seen Superman's early days, and now at last, thanks to Daniel Warren Johnson, we finally see Wonder Woman getting the Black Label treatment, beginning with WONDER WOMAN DEAD EARTH #1 (OF 4). In a Wonder Woman story unlike any other, with sci-fi trappings, a nuclear apocalypse has claimed the Earth. Princess Diana had left paradise to fight for man, but man destroyed itself while she slept for centuries, and she realises she has failed. Can Wonder Woman find redemption in saving those few humans left in the wasteland?

The saying goes that all good things must come to an end, but logically, that means all bad things must as well. Villains in the DC Universe have never had it as good as they have in the Year of the Villain, but their time is nearly up, and the end begins with YEAR OF THE VILLAIN HELL ARISEN #1 (OF 4), from James Tynion IV and Steve Epting. Lex Luthor has brought back Perpetua, and the Multiverse quakes in her presence, but she has a new enemy in the herald of the Dark Multiverse, the Batman Who Laughs. It's evil vs evil, and there can be only one victor. Who will survive?

From Grant Morrison and Dan Mora comes KLAUS LIFE & TIMES OF JOE CHRISTMAS #1, a special, mega-sized one-shot that presents twenty-five short stories about a baby taken in by Klaus, who would become none other than Joe Christmas. In a widescreen style reminiscent of Morrison's 2001 New X-Men Annual, Morrison and Mora present the greatest team-ups of Joe Christmas and Klaus, with an advent calender-esque method of storytelling.

Take a walk on the darker, grittier side of Jeff Lemire's Black Hammer universe with SKULLDIGGER & SKELETON BOY #1 (OF 6), from Lemire and Tonci Zonjic. In Spiral City, the streets are rife with crime and corruption, and injustice is just another next-door neighbour. Amidst it all, a new vigilante will rise to bring peace to the unquiet city, and that vigilante is Skulldigger. With his ward, Skeleton Boy, by his side, can they stop the latest villain looking to conquer Spiral City, the nefarious prison escapee, Grimjim?

From horror comic book writer extraordinaire, Cullen Bunn, comes the return of his terrifying, but beloved, southern-gothic horror series, with a new tale beginning in TALES FROM HARROW COUNTY DEATHS CHOIR #1 (OF 4). Set a decade following Emmy's departure from Harrow County, Bernice has taken over custodianship of the supernatural house. But with World War II consuming the entire world, men being drafted in the war is leaving their home county vulnerable to an attack from unnatural terrors. Can Bernice find a way to stop them before the county is overrun?

Spinning out of the popular Netflix series, Narcos, Ryan Ferrier and Vic Mahotra bring you a new miniseries, featuring DEA agents Murphy and Pena with NARCOS #1 (OF 4). During the height of the criminal activities of drug cartels in the 1990s, El Patron is trying to safeguard his drug empire from the threat of the DEA, while some new recruits may be causing trouble from within the DEA itself.

Based on the popular video game, 2064: Read Only Memories, comes a new series that expands the cyberpunk world of the game unlike anything before, and it all begins in READ ONLY MEMORIES #1, from Sina Grace and Stefano Simeone. In the state of California, not far from Neo-San Francisco, lies Santa Cruz, the town where Lexi Rivers has traded in her detective's badge for a PI license and opened up her own agency. Now it's Valentine's Day, and when a robot's human lover goes missing, Rivers is on the case.

The Duke of Wellington, publicly famous for his many victories against the nefarious Napoleon Bonaparte, was also privately renowned as a supreme monster hunter. In WELLINGTON #1 (OF 5), from the creator of the popular Lore podcast, Aaron Manhke, comic book writing veteran Delilah Dawson, and artist Piotr Kowalski, find out about the secret life of the Iron Duke and his service to Great Britain through destroying the hidden monsters that plagued it.

With a movie on the way, starring Charlize Theron, now is the perfect time to begin the highly anticipated new arc of Old Guard, beginning with OLD GUARD FORCE MULTIPLIED #1 (OF 5), from series creators Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez. Andromache of Scythia, the immortal leader of undying soldiers, are back, as are the big battles they were made to fight, and the burdens of their long lives. But, with a new member added to the team, will that be enough to reignite the passion in a group of soldiers that have been fighting for 6000 years?

The best part of Christmas is the anticipation before opening the wrapping paper on a gift you know nothing about. It's rather difficult to be truly surprised by your gifts as an adult, but thanks to Mark Millar and a special, secret artist, you can relive those days of anticipation once again with PROJECT X-MAS #1. With nothing known about the story, except that it is a continuation of one of Millar's most beloved works, the only thing we can guarantee is that it won't be the Ultimates. If you want to find out, be sure to have this little mystery added to your order, so you don't miss out.

With the trades sadly beginning to reach the end of their print life, if you want to check out one of the best parts of DC's New 52 line, then you can't pass on a copy of ANIMAL MAN BY JEFF LEMIRE OMNIBUS HC, from Jeff Lemire and a range of artists, including Travel Foreman, Steve Pugh, Rafael Albuquerque and more. Collecting all 30 issues, the two annuals, and the tie-in Swamp Thing issues from Scott Snyder, this is the ultimate package featuring one of DC's most unusual heroes.

Free of the Knightmares unleashed upon him by Bane and the Flashpoint Batman, Thomas Wayne, Bruce finally begins to unravel the mystery behind how the Flashpoint Batman survived the collapse of his universe in BATMAN TP VOL 11 THE FALL AND THE FALLEN, from Tom King, and a range of artists, including Mikel Janin, Jorge Fornes and more. But can Batman decipher this mystery before Bane arrives and tries to claim Gotham as his own?

The planet of Apokolips maintains its tyrannical rule, with Darkseid at its head, through tyrannical, military force. But it's always the men who do the fighting, and now Granny Goodness thinks it's time for the women, from Big Barda to Lashina, to stand up and take up arms in FEMALE FURIES TP, from Cecil Castellucci and Adriana Melo. But that's not all, for you'll also get to read Jack Kirby's original Mister Miracle #9, which features the first ever appearance of the Female Furies.

Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp wrap up their first season of the Green Lantern with GREEN LANTERN HC VOL 02 THE DAY THE STARS FELL. Featuring team-ups with old allies, such as Green Arrow and Star Sapphire, and new, with a multiverse of different Green Lanterns. What was the alien threat that ruined a Jordan family reunion?

Gone are the overly fantastical elements from the movies, and in its stead is left a gritty action-adventure, that moves from New York City to Jamaica, and will see Bond in for the fight of his life against the SMERSH gold-smuggling agent, Mr. Big.

But 007 isn't the only secret agent vying for your attention this week, as Loki, the one man intelligence agency for Asgard, has his entire Agent of Asgard series collected in one volume with LOKI AGENT OF ASGARD COMPLETE COLLECTION TP. Featuring work from Jason Aaron, Al Ewing, Lee Garbett and more, experience how, even when you're the Norse God of Mischief, there's more to the espionage game than a few clever tricks, you have to keep you're audience captivated, both reader and the characters.

Four of Batman's greatest foes have broken free of the cardboard prison called the GCPD Rogues 5-pack, and now they've been recaptured and put in isolation. So if you're after just your absolute favourites from the set, now is the time to add any of the BATMAN THE ANIMATED SER BANE AF, BATMAN THE ANIMATED SER KILLER CROC AF, BATMAN THE ANIMATED SER MR FREEZE AF & BATMAN THE ANIMATED SER POISON IVY AF figures to your collection.

Since his first issue, Tom King has delivered a fortnightly book that presented some of the most emotionally hard-hitting Batman stories out there. But now with BATMAN #85, featuring art from Mikel Janin, the conclusion to the City of Bane story line, King reaches the conclusion of his time on the main Batman book, as the fight for Gotham City reaches its climax. Who will remain standing by the end, Batman or Bane? Whose city will Gotham be? How does this lead to King's next Batman book, Batman/Catwoman? The answers lie here.

Another finale also arrives in the form of KING THOR #4 (OF 4), which is Jason Aaron's farewell to Thor and the mythology Aaron has added to in the biggest way since Walt Simonson. Featuring many of Aaron's past artistic collaborators, including Esad Ribic, find out how the final battle between the God Butcher, Gorr, and the King of Asgard, Thor, ends, on the eve of the timely collapse of the Multiverse.

But it's not all about ends this week, for there are new beginnings too, including VISITOR #1 (OF 6), a new miniseries and Paul Levitz's Valiant Comics debut, with art from Mj Kim. The Visitor is a mysterious figure; untraceable, unstoppable and unkillable. He is the harbinger of great change, and the world leaders are terrified of him. What change will be forced on mankind when the Visitor arrives once again?

If you've been missing the Walking Dead, creators Benjamin von Eckartsberg and Thoman von Kummant believe they have something to fill the hole with their new series, which kicks off with GUNG HO #1. After the event known as the White Plague, humanity is barely able to survive in fortified town or villages. In Europe, which is classified as a danger zone, two troublesome teen brothers, Zach and Archer Goodwoody seek refuge in the Fort Apache colony, but will they be able to pass the rigorous screening process?

If you have an itch for an exciting, sci-fi manga, then this week, you can finally scratch it with DIRTY PAIR OMNIBUS GN, from Haruka Takachiho and Hiaso Tamaki, the acclaimed artist behind the Star Wars: A New Hope manga series. Kei and Yuri, collectively known as either the Lovely Angels or the Dirty Pair, work as special consultants for the Worlds Welfare and Works Association. They're there to deliver some good, old-fashioned justice to space faring criminals, and now you can experience it all in this single volume.

W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo are back with a fourth scoop of delectably sweet horror stories with ICE CREAM MAN TP VOL 04 TINY LIVES. There are plenty of people, good and bad, who are just barely scraping through life, and will do anything to move beyond that desperation. Even if that means making a deal with the fiendish Ice Cream Man...

Supernatural horror and sci-fi space adventuring continue to be mashed together in the highly acclaimed series from John Layman and Afu Chan, with OUTER DARKNESS TP VOL 02. The shady past of the mysterious Captain Riggs is revealed, while Charon finds a haunted house deep in outer space. But when they go to investigate it, they'll find that, while it may be a haunted house, it is by no means abandoned.

After two millenia of being the symbols of religion, Buddha, the Enlightened One, and Jesus, Son of God, decide it's time to take a holiday to kick off the 21st century and the third millenium. That's where we find the deities in SAINT YOUNG MEN HC GN VOL 01, from Hikaru Nakamura, as they begin their holiday in Tokyo, where they share an apartment. But with their different temperaments, have Buddha and Jesus just become our new Odd Couple?

Add some new mutant heroes to your action figure collection this week with X-MEN LEGENDS HAVOK/POLARIS 6IN AF 2PK CS, with Cyclop's brother, Havok, and one of Magneto's daughters, Polaris. Styled after their 90s incarnations (Havok even has a bomber jacket!), and in packaging inspired by their trading cards from the same period, this is the ultimate collection of some of the best mutants of Marvel's tumultuous time in the 1990s.

You get all of that? Can you see now why we are scared...please send help!
If you spot something you need, let us know before close on Tuesday to ensure we can get it sorted for you.
Until we see you next, stay rad, live life and read comics!

New Comics For Wednesday 11th December

Hope you are keen for a selection of amazing books because this week has got it ALL!

Get the forklift ready for when you plan on picking up your order.

After a new Dark Knight series in the last few years, and Superman: Year One this year, Frank Miller spoils us all once more when he returns to his Dark Knight universe in an all new one-shot. So make sure you have your copy of DARK KNIGHT RETURNS THE GOLDEN CHILD #1 on your order, with art from the acclaimed Rafael Grampa, his first comic book work in 6 years, to find out what Carrie Kelley and Lara are up to, as they settle into their roles as superheroes, and how they'll tackle the return of an old evil.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled Peter J. Tomasi run of Detective Comics this week with DETECTIVE COMICS #1017, from guest writer, Melbourne's very own Tom Taylor, and artist Fernando Blanco, as Batman tries to find a missing child. Miguel Flores has gone missing from the Martha Wayne Orphanage, and his best chance of being found in the midst of a cold winter lies with Bruce Wayne, as the Batman. But as this case gets more complex, another Wayne will have to put his differences aside with Bruce to team up with his father. Can Batman and Robin unite once more to find the missing child in time?

From the comical comic book writer, Mark Russell, and with art from Mike Norton, find out who will be crowned the Villain of the Year in HARLEY QUINN VILLAIN OF THE YEAR #1, with Harley Quinn herself on host duties. In this, the Year of the Villain, the competition is running hot, but someone is about to put in a last minute nomination, with a secret plan so devious, it will make everyone finally notice the true depths of their villainy. When you're done reading, be sure to follow the steps in the book to lodge your vote to decide who shall be crowned the Villain of the Year.

Following the climactic events of Drowned Earth, Orm Marius, the Ocean Master, found everything he held dear had been ripped away from him; his love, his crown and his freedom. But now, in OCEAN MASTER YEAR OF THE VILLAIN #1, from Dan Watters and Miguel Mendonca, the Ocean Master may be about to make his big comeback during the great struggle between justice and doom, and he has a brand new power to back himself up, and claim kingship of the seven seas.

Change is coming in Superman's world, and it's all about to begin in SUPERMAN #18, from Brian Michael Bendis and Ivan Reis. But before Superman can present his world-changing revelation to the people of Earth, he must first face his own truths, regarding his place in the galaxy and how he affects the galaxy itself. It's another step forward in an exciting new era for the world's greatest superhero!

Sydney-side writer, Mat Groom, teams up with his Self-Made miniseries editor, Kyle Higgins, to present a horrifically twisted, Dark Multiverse version of a quintessential DC Comics story in TALES FROM THE DARK MULTIVERSE THE JUDAS CONTRACT #1, featuring art from Tom Raney. In the original Judas Contract we know and love, Terra remained loyal to Deathstroke to the deadly end, but what if she turned against her mentor? Find out what might have happened if Terra turned away from Slade Wilson and forged her own destiny, written in the blood of the Teen Titans.

The Scourge of the Negative Zone continues in ANNIHILATION SCOURGE BETA RAY BILL #1, from Michael Moreci and Alberto Albuquerque. The Scourge has freed itself from the constraints of the Negative Zone, traversed into the regular Marvel Universe, and now the local population is being infected by this Scourge. Their only lies in Beta Ray Bill, who may be able to save them, but it doesn't take long for Bill to be overwhelmed by the annihilation; will he end up another victim of the wave?

Beta Ray Bill isn't the only one out there witnessing the Scourge, as the Silver Surfer returns home just in time to witness the growing devastation in ANNIHILATION SCOURGE SILVER SURFER #1, from Dan Abnett and Paul Davidson. But while he'd like to take on the Scourge himself, the Surfer's new status quo prevents him from being able to intervene. Will protecting the fleeing innocents be enough to make a difference, or will the Surfer's inaction be the very thing that heralds in an age of death?

Marvel 2099 is a very different place to what it is today; new characters, new powers, new technology, new problems, but one thing stays constant. That thing is... Doom. Find out what becomes of the legacy of Dr. Doom in the year 2099 with DOOM 2099 #1, from Chip Zdarsky and Marco Castiello.

Thanks to the Netflix series, Daredevil has become almost synonymous with the superhero team, the Defenders. But before the series, Daredevil first teamed up with the original Defenders, comprised of Doctor Strange, Hulk, Namor the Sub-Mariner, Valkyrie and Nighthawk. Now, you can relive that original adventure with the GIANT-SIZE DEFENDERS #3 FACSIMILE EDITION, from Steve Gerber, Jim Starlin and more, as the Defenders, with Daredevil, fight an array of aliens, with the fate of the Earth at stake.

With a brand new Avengers video game on the way, Jim Zub and Paco Diaz present MARVELS AVENGERS IRON MAN #1, the first prequel that builds on the Marvel universe unique to the video game. Get an early look at what makes the video game versions of Earth's Mightiest Heroes unique, while Iron Man deals with the Lethal Legion theft of his tech for nefarious purposes.

The herald that hearkened in the original Marvel 2099 future back in the 90s, Miguel O'Hara, has been a constant of the time period, and now, in the face of the end of that future, the people need a hero, they need the Spider-Man of 2099. In SPIDER-MAN 2099 #1, from Nick Spencer and Jose Carlos Silva, find out if Miguel is ready to take on such a huge responsibility, and if he has the power to handle it.

Following the success of Peter David and Greg Land's trip into the days of Spider-Man's original symbiote suit, the pair are back for another tale never-before-told as Spider-Man dukes it out with Hobgoblin, which begins with SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN ALIEN REALITY #1 (OF 5). Who is the Hobgoblin terrorizing New York City, and where did he get his new powers from? It's a mystery only Spidey and his sweet, black, alien duds can figure out.

Following a traumatic mugging, Daisy McDonough is left without the man she loves, and one of her eyes. Now, in RED MOTHER #1, from Jeremy Haun and Danny Luckert, Daisy is trying to put her life back together, but that's about to get a whole lot more difficult when she starts to see supernatural things with her prosthetic eye. However, while Daisy can see into the supernatural, the supernatural can see back into her, specifically the dreaded Red Mother.

A luxury charter spaceship is boarded by the bloodthirsty Predators, and everyone is on their menu, with a side of terror and bloodshed. On board, an adolescent girl and boy that appears to be her brother are trying to escape the Predators, and that's where the ultimate game of cat and mouse begins in ALIENS VS PREDATOR THICKER THAN BLOOD #1 (OF 4), from Jeremy Barlow and Doug Wheatley. But these aren't cats and mice, these are Aliens and Predators.

A brand new era of Dejah Thoris begins, as Dan Abnett and Vasco Georgiev begin their run with DEJAH THORIS (2019) #1. Throughout her published lifetime, Dejah has been everything: a mother, a wife, even royalty. But this time around, she's a scientist, and she's determined to figure out why her world is freezing, and which political faction knows more about the situation than they're letting on.

The master of horror comics, Joe Hill, is back with a brand new miniseries, which kicks off with DYING IS EASY #1 (OF 5), featuring art from Martin Simmonds. Carl Dixon is a rising stand-up comedy star, and he stands up high on a body of stolen jokes, the lowest a comedian can get. Enter Syd "Sh*t-Talk" Holmes, an ex-cop, a bitter stand-up comedian and possibly a hitman who's already thinking about the money he'll earn after someone asks how much it'll cost to knock Dixon off his high horse and all the way down.

This is it, the moment that Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman have been building towards for eight years of excellent TMNT comics, it's the conclusion of the epic City at War story line in TMNT ONGOING #100, with art from Dave Wachter. In this 48-page extravaganza, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their allies have reached an all-time low, but can one last gamble turn the war around in their favour? Don't miss this game-changing issue on any count, make sure it's on your order.

Once upon a time, Lucy Claire was a celebrated hero in the eyes of all who knew her. But then, through a manipulative series of sinister events, she fell from grace, slandered and defamed, and her children were taken away from her. But when an old threat resurfaces in John Upchurch's LUCY CLAIRE REDEMPTION #1 , Lucy may finally have a chance to redeem herself, get her life back on track and, most importantly, reunite with her children.

With his life a misery, Brandt returns to Japan, the home of his ancestors, to find peace. But all he finds, in GHOST TREE TP from Bobby Curnow and Simon Gane, is a haunted tree and the unquiet souls that journey to it, with Brandt's grandfather among them. By healing the historical wounds that unsettle these souls, can Brandt manage to find the peace he's been searching for this entire time?

A brand new age of X-Men is upon us, thanks to the mastermind of long-term storytelling, Jonathan Hickman. If you missed out on the weekly event series, now is your chance to read the foundations upon which Hickman has built his visionary X-Men work upon with HOUSE OF X POWERS OF X HC, with art from Pepe Larraz and RB Silva. Within, see how Moira MacTaggart holds the key to finally securing the future of mutantkind, and what radical steps forward Professor X and Magneto make together to further that goal.

With this being the 25th anniversary of the series debut, and there also being a TV series on the way, now is the best time to check out David Mack's seminal work, Kabuki, with KABUKI OMNIBUS TP VOL 01. Collecting the first two volumes of the series, meet the young woman working as an operative for the Noh in future Japan, Kabuki. Upon the compromise of the Noh organisation, Kabuki questions herself and where her loyalties to Noh have left her, and is determined to learn the truth of the nefarious forces behind her organisation's downfall.

It's cabin fever for our favourite summer campers in LUMBERJANES TP VOL 13, from Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh and Dozerdraws. While summer camp should be all about getting active outside, the campers are forced to stay indoors when the rain comes a-falling, and restlessness settles over the girls. Jo and Molly try their hand at tabletop RPGs, but Ripley, April and Mal decide that a secret tunnel underneath the kitchens, which is home to a prehistoric bug, will be more fun instead. What could possibly go wrong? They are still indoors, after all...

Getting sucked into a black hole would be certain doom for anyone, but for Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer, it's just the start of the next great adventure. What lies in wait for the Silver Surfer when he makes it through to the other side? Find out in SILVER SURFER BLACK TP TREASURY EDITION, from Donny Cates and Tradd Moore, and how does it tie in to the abominable symbiote species, the Klyntar?

From the creative superstar behind Saga and the recently-concluded Paper Girls, Brian K. Vaughan, comes Y THE LAST MAN OMNIBUS HC, a deluxe, hardcover that collects the entire sixty issue series. With art from creators such as Pia Guerra, Paul Chadwick and more, watch as poor Yorick Brown, and his companion monkey Ampersand, uncover the mystery behind the plague that wiped out all mammals with a Y-chromosome, and has left him, quite literally, the last man on Earth.

When the Earth's atmosphere is corrupted by an airborne virus, humanity is plunge into a dystopia, and creator Justin Madson looks at the effects from many different points of view in BREATHERS #1. One detective loses himself in addiction to a drug called Filter K; a brother and sister duo try to convince themselves that the virus isn't real, and the dystopia is just a conspiracy; a mother and daughter do their best to keep their family together and a filter salesman tries to do his best to help whoever he can in this deadly climate, to atone for past misdeeds. They're all different people united by one common denominator: they're all "breathers".

SA Check, Jordan Gershowitz, and local Melbourne artist, Dean Rankine, unite to bring you new misadventures of a cat named Oggy, who is perpetually tormented by three cockroaches, in the style of old cartoons, like Tom and Jerry, with OGGY & THE COCKROACHES #1. In classic, all ages slapstick style, you get two fun stories, the first of which Oggy finds Atlantis in the bottom of his bathtub. In the second story, the three cockroaches take great glee in making Oggy's scary movie night a whole lot more terrifying with their pranks. With the summer holidays approaching, this is a good one to pick up to keep your kids reading over the break.

INJ Culbard's awe-inspiring rendition of HP Lovecraft's groundbreaking horror novel is finally back in print with HP LOVECRAFT AT MOUNTAIN MADNESS GN. Lovecraft's chilling adventure of Antarctic exploration uncovering unholy abominations is made even more terrifying with Culbard's artistic prowess, and you should be sure to pick up a copy while you still can.

An artist with a unique, unusual style, Dave Cooper has built up an impressive body of work, from psychedelic cartoons to highly acclaimed comics, and now you can see how his career and style has developed with PILLOWY ART OF DAVE COOPER HC. Featuring a broad range of Cooper's work, from his first cartoons he made as a teenager to some of his more recent oil paintings, you won't find a more comprehensive guide to Dave Cooper's career anywhere else.

Channeling the Big Daddy/Hit-Girl relationship from Kick-Ass, Mark Millar teams up with Simone Bianchi to create a new sci-fi universe that you can jump right into with SHARKEY BOUNTY HUNTER TP. In a souped-up, rocket-powered ice cream truck, the bounty hunter known as Sharkey traverses the depths of space, with his ten-year old daughter (and partner-in-crime) along for the ride as he searches for the biggest bounty in the galaxy.

From the cult film legend, Alejandro Jodorowsky, comes the next part in the graphic novel sequel to his film, El Topo, SONS OF EL TOPO ORIGINAL GN HC VOL 02 ABEL, with art from Jose Ladronn. Following the death of their father, the half-brothers, the titular sons of El Topo, Cain and Abel, are at odds with each other, and even more so after the death of Abel's saintly mother. Can Cain keep his dangerous, violent nature under control to maintain a relationship with Abel?

Two mighty titans among mutantkind, add two of the biggest and strongest members of the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to your collection this week with MARVEL LEGENDS 80TH ANN COLOSSUS/JUGGERNAUT 6IN AF. With interchangeable hands, heads and accessories, with a high level of detail, you can pose Colossus and Juggernaut in dynamic poses that will take your display to the next level.

And there it is. Hope it's got you smiling because we are terrified by the sheer size of this monster!
Anyway, spot something you are after that you haven't ordered, make sure to let us know no later than Tuesday afternoon so we can get it sorted.
Until we see you next, stay cool, be safe, live life and read comics!
