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.
