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!
