New Comics For Wednesday 1st of May

Free Comic Book Day is nearly here and the releases for the Wednesday before it is always a corker. Both Marvel and DC make sure to have their latest, hottest release planned for this week. just take a look below.

From Melbourne writer, Tom Taylor comes a story of DC heroes and villains with a zomberiffic twist in DCEASED #1 (OF 6), with art from Trevor Hairsine. So close to achieving his dream of the Anti-Life equation, Darkseid has made a grievous miscalculation, the cost of which will be the complete annihilation of the DC Universe as a techno-organic virus corrupts all in its wake. An awesome set-up for a story that requires no real background reading, take the plunge and be rewarded with one of the best zombie stories since the Walking Dead.

2019 has surely been one of Conan the Barbarian's biggest years yet, and it's about to get a whole lot bigger as a universe-displaced Conan joins a team of Earth's Mightiest Heroes in SAVAGE AVENGERS #1, from Gerry Duggan and Mike Deodato. Along with Venom, Elektra, Punisher and Wolverine, they'll have lots of new dangers to protect the Earth from. If you're still on the fence, then we have three words for you: Conan vs. Wolverine!

Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman's epic story of fantastical war and destruction in the Marvel Universe continues with WAR OF REALMS #3 (OF 6) WR. Malekith's army has taken the Earth, his factions remaking the continents to match their home realms, from North America becoming New Jotunheim to Ulik the Troll claiming Australia (oh no, they noticed us!). The Avengers are some of the last forces that stand between Malekith and complete domination, and now they truly have to earn their moniker of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Malekith's forces have conquered the Ten Realms, and their gateway was the corrupted Rainbow Road: the Black Bifrost. To kill their foes prime mode of transportation, Bryan Hill and Leinel Francis Yu give Punisher the lead in WAR OF REALMS STRIKEFORCE DARK ELF REALM #1 WR. With She-Hulk, Blade and Ghost Rider at his side, Frank is going into Svartalfheim and into danger to end the threat of the Black Bifrost once and for all.

This very year not only marks 80 years of Batman. but it also marks 35 years of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so what better way to celebrate them both than with a third crossover series? Obviously, there is no better way, so that's exactly what James Tynion IV and Freddie Williams II return to bring you with BATMAN TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES III #1 (OF 6), to conclude the trilogy. Our heroes have battled Bane in New York and the Foot Clan in Gotham, but now the endgame arrives, as Krang gets his tentacles on the most dangerous tech in the universe.

Following many great stories coming from DC, the result of many victories for the villains makes this year nothing else but what this book's title promises: DCS YEAR OF THE VILLAIN #1. In this one-shot, from Scott Snyder, Brian Michael Bendis. James Tynion IV, Jim Cheung, Alex Maleev and Leinel Francis Yu, Lex Luthor and his Legion of Doom have teamed up with Cosmic Gods to conquer the multiverse, while Leviathan continues to spread its influence across the Earth, and the Batman Who Laughs is lying in wait with the most nefarious of schemes. Can DC's heroes turn the tables before its too late? All this for only 25 cents US?!

Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson brings back the best team of man's best friend with BEASTS OF BURDEN PRESENCE OF OTHERS #1 (OF 2). New visitors have arrived at Burden Hill, a pair of paranormal investigators, who are poking around a graveyard. Too bad their ineptitude is about to set of a chain of events that spells trouble for the whole town.

From the acclaimed creator of Planetoid, Ken Garing, comes the new, high-fantasy series that starts with GOGOR #1. Under the ground of the floating Altara Islands is where Gogor sleeps, but when the soldiers of Domus start to take over the islands in a coup for dictatorship, young Armano must awaken Gogor to fight and restore the peace.

The finale of Sydney-writer Mat Groom's miniseries, with art from Eduardo Ferigato, arrives at last with SELF MADE #6. In her search for answers about her creation, Amala lost her family. In his thirst for vengeance, Bryce lost his soul. Now they come face-to-face for the last time as they move beyond the walls of the universe.

Since Amazing Spider-Man #1 in 1963, J. Jonah Jameson has done everything he can to make Spider-Man's life a living hell through his newspapers and magazines. So how will Spidey cope when JJJ turns it all around and tries to help him in Nick Spencer and Ryan Ottley's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN BY NICK SPENCER TP VOL 03. But a new foe using old enemies is after Jonah, so can Spidey put aside his animosity of his latest supporter to save him?

One of the best comics from the 1990's gets a new print release with all new extra features, and it's none other than Mark Waid and Alex Ross' seminal KINGDOM COME TP. The age of original heroes is over, and Magog rises to lead a new era, but with this new generation featuring more and more antiheroes, they are wreaking as much havoc as the villains. Which means none other than Superman must come out of retirement and lead the Justice League once again to take back control and restore the peace.

Jeff Lemire returns to his Black Hammer universe, with artist Dave Stewart and their take on the Legion of Superheroes.QUANTUM AGE TP FROM WORLD OF BLACK HAMMER VOL 01, it's thousand years into the future, a new legion of heroes has formed, inspired by the Black Hammer Farm of old, and they're trying to save the world from an authoritarian regime.

Taking place during the first season of the acclaimed TV series, Jody Houser and Stefano Martino tell the story of Will's unseen journey in STRANGER THINGS TP VOL 01 OTHER SIDE. Will Byers is trapped in the Upside Down, and desperate to return home, but when he finds out that a Demogorgon is in there with him, that return home will be far more dangerous than he expects.

If you loved DC Ink's first offering with Mera, then you have to pick up a copy of their second book, UNDER THE MOON A CATWOMAN TALE TP DC INK by Lauren Myracle and Isaac Goodhart. Selina Kyle is surviving a life on the streets, where she tries to escape human cruelty, and yet, to stay alive, she must inflict a little of that same cruelty herself. Will she be able to make peace with herself and regain her humanity?

Dark magic is stirring the DC Universe, and the source of that power is found within none other than Wonder Woman herself! In James Tynion IV's WONDER WOMAN & JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK WITCHING HOUR HC, the witch-goddess of magic, Hecate, will rise once more and will create an army from those with the Witchmark, with Wonder Woman leading the charge. How will the Justice League Dark be able to combat not just an army of magic-fueled soldiers, but one of their own?

With the Death Star and many high-ranking Imperials reduced to stardust, Han Solo feels ready to take his reward and return to his life of smuggling. But that won't be as easy as he thinks in Greg Pak and Chris Sprouse's STAR WARS AOR HAN SOLO #1, when Luke Skywalker, hero of the Rebellion, asks him to do one more mission. Co-starring your favourite Wookie, Chewbacca!

Dan Abnett and Adam Pollina take you to the year 4002, where a cyborg samurai name Rai fights to find his morality once more in FALLEN WORLD #1 (OF 5). While all this going on, Bloodshot also stalks the land, saving the citizens of Earth. Will the samurai and the supersoldier be able to work together? Or will it come to another bloody fight?

A conspiracy thriller mixed with adventure is what awaits you in Stephanie Phillips and Evgeny Bornyakov's DESCENDENT #1. Jackson E. Miller, son of US Senator Carter Miller, has been kidnapped, and the FBI haven't been able to turn up any leads. Fueled by the conspiracy, government corruption, and the music of Prince, David Corey sets out to untangle the complex web of intrigue and deceit to learn the truth at the bottom of it.

Terry Moore returns with another entry in his Terryverse of comics with FIVE YEARS #1, which takes different strands left hanging from previous works and sets to tie them up. Lilith's paper for the formula to the ultimate weapon of mass destruction has been leaked, and now laboratories around the world are trying to complete it, to have the bigger stick. Tambi, along with her team, will set out  to put a stop to the developments.

When they're not being simply awful to each other, three scientific adventurers face strange creatures and the great unknown in Tom Peyer and Fred Harper's HASHTAG DANGER #1. If scientific mishaps aren't enough for you, then be sure to keep reading for the depressing adventures of washed-up comedian, Snelson.

More conspirational adventures await you in NOBODY IS IN CONTROL #1 (OF 4), from Patrick Kindlon and Paul Tucker. After a stranger runs through his yard, resident Richard fears for the man's safety as he runs deeper into the woods. But soon, Richard will have to fear for his own, as the mysterious man drags him into a dangerous web of enigma and unknowns.

From the acclaimed Canadian cartoonist who goes only by the name of Seth, comes a box set two decades in the making as his successful graphic novel gets the deluxe treatment with CLYDE FANS HC BOX SET SLIPCASE EDITION. Telling the story of the Matchcard brothers, Abe and Simon, and how they somehow manage to keep their archaic electric fan store going after air conditioners become the hottest item, there's lots of fun to be had.

Lady Mechanika returns in LADY MECHANIKA TP VOL 05 LA BELLE DAME SANS MERCI, from Joe Benitez, Martin Montiel and many more. As the good lady tries to look more into her past, she must put that quest aside after she becomes concerned by Mr. Lewis' infatuation with a young, beautiful widow with a mysterious past herself, with a trail of bodies a featured aspect.

The miniseries that launched Ahoy Comics finally comes complete in WRONG EARTH TP VOL 01, from Tom Peyer, Paul Constant and more. On the dark, grim Earth-Omega, the Dragonfly is a masked vigilante that dukes out justice on the streets with a hard fist, whilst on the brighter, happier Earth-Alpha, Dragonflyman is just as much a friendly part of law enforcement as the police. But through a twist of fate, the polar opposite heroes will take each other's places on the opposite Earths. Will Dragonflyman survive Earth-Omega, and will Earth-Alpha survive the Dragonfly?

From the Batman Animated Series comes Barbara Gordon as Batgirl in statue format with BATMAN BLACK & WHITE BATGIRL BY BRUCE TIMM STATUE. Modeled after her animated series appearances, as styled by Bruce Timm, blending the old with the new, this statue is one of the most timeless, and the black and white colouring only adds to the effect. A must-have for you statue aficionados.

All this AND Free Comic Book Day on Saturday? How can we bear the excitement?! It's too much!

New Comics For Wednesday 24th of April

It's a week of COUNTDOWNS! 

Free Comic Book Day less than 2 weeks away, the next All Star Comics Women's Comic Book Club Meet Up is coming up this Sunday and then the end of all things with the conclusion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is mid-week! How can we cope! Maybe this list of excellent reading material will settle our collective nerves.

When we last saw Thanos, at the beginning of the Infinity Wars, he was assassinated; the killer being none other than his adopted daughter, Gamora. How did such a relationship come to be between father and daughter? Tini Howard and Ariel Olivetti have the answers for you in the new miniseries that begins with THANOS #1 (OF 6). Get your fix of Thanos before you go see Avengers: Endgame!

This weeks it the week that will go down in cinematic history, as 10 years of Marvel movie magic culminates with Avengers: Endgame on April 24th. But such a momentous film would have more than its fair share of development time to reach where it is today, and you can check out all the art and designs that were made to act as the foundation upon which the look of the film is based, then ROAD MARVELS AVENGERS 4 HC ART CINEMATIC UNIV SLIP is the book for you.

In preparation for the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge theme park at Disneyland, Ethan Sacks and Will Sliney take you on an adventure to the smuggler haven on the edge of the Galaxy with STAR WARS GALAXYS EDGE #1 (OF 5). The Black Spire Outpost has long been the home to seedy deals and immoral acts, but that might be coming to an end when the evil First Order invades. It looks like it's up to Han Solo and Chewbacca to restore the uneasy peace.

Malekith and his forces have invaded the realm of Midgard, or Earth to us regular folk, and there isn't one single place that isn't being attacked. In Matthew Rosenberg and Pere Perez's WAR OF REALMS UNCANNY X-MEN #1 (OF 3) WR, see how the Uncanny X-Men, led by former X-Men member and current Valkyrie, Dani Moonstar, Westchester is in the best of hands.

After seven mystifying issues of mystery and intrigue, will Tom King, Clay Mann and Mitch Gerads lay everything bare at last in HEROES IN CRISIS #8 (OF 9)? Quite possibly, now that we've heard all the testimony and secrets kept hidden by DC's greatest heroes and villains, so how does that all piece together to uncover a killer amongst them? You'll have to check it out to find out.

Following the conclusion of Dead or Alive, Dick Tracy is back in DICK TRACY FOREVER #1, written and illustrated by creator extraordinaire, the Eisner-winning Michael Oeming. No matter the decade or the city, Dick Tracy will hunt down the most grotesque of criminals and rain down law and order, making the world a safer place.

If you're excited for Dick Tracy Forever, but missed out on IDW's first miniseries, then you're in luck as Mike Allred, Lee Allred and Rich Tommaso's DICK TRACY DEAD OR ALIVE TP hits the shelves. After being too good at his job, again, the upstanding Dick Tracy is booted out of another crime-ridden city. Now, in a new city, with new cohorts, but the same old crime, how will Tracy adapt to his new surroundings?

In 1969, the original Star Trek series came to a premature end, with two years of Enterprise's mission to go where no one had gone before never hitting the television. But 50 years later, Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelley and Stephen Thompson set out to correct that injustice with STAR TREK YEAR FIVE #1, which brings back your favourite Starfleet crew for the last of their original missions.

Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen, hot off the conclusion of their epic Descender series, reunite and return to the world they created with a brand new series, beginning with ASCENDER #1. Set ten years after the end of Descender, science has been overtaken by magic, and life has become a very different thing to live.

The very first DC Elseworlds story from Brian Augustyn and the legendary Mike Mignola gets the black and white treatment with BATMAN NOIR GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT HC. Featuring a Batman in Victorian times, where Jack the Ripper has flown from England and landed in Gotham City, can the Victorian era's greatest detective uncover the truth? Even if the prime suspect is none other than Bruce Wayne?

The brand new ongoing series continuing the epic, short-lived Joss Whedon series begins with FIREFLY HC VOL 01 UNIFICATION WAR, from Greg Pak and Dan McDaid. With lots of ground to cover, this series gets right to what the fans want, going back to the Unification War, to the very battleground where Mal Reynolds' journey begins.

The next digital-first story arc starring Marvel's best private investigator comes to paper with JESSICA JONES MPGN TP PURPLE DAUGHTER, from Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis. When Danielle, Jessica's daughter, comes home with purple skin, Jessica will have to look back at her time with the Purple Man, Zebediah Killgrave, and re-evaluate her marriage to Luke Cage.

By the time we meet John Wick in the film, he's retired and trying to stay away from a world of assassins, but how did he find himself embroiled in that world in the first place? To learn that, you'll have to grab yourself a copy of Greg Pak and Matt Gaudio's JOHN WICK HC VOL 01, as he learns the ropes to becoming a hitman to seek vengeance against groups like the Three Bills and Calamity.

From Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev, the first new series from the Jinxworld imprint comes to trade paperback with SCARLET TP VOL 01. Her life ripped apart by police corruption, Scarlet has decided to finally push back. If the initial action ruined Scarlet's life, then her reaction will be nothing short of devastating for the government and officials of the USA.
  

The breakout character of Marvel's Black Panther finds herself the star of a new series, with the first issues collected for your convenience in SHURI TP VOL 01 SEARCH FOR BLACK PANTHER. With her brother T'Challa, the Black Panther and King of Wakanda, missing, her people turn to Shuri herself, the next heir to the throne of Wakanda. But that's not a responsibility Shuri wants to shoulder, not yet anyways, so she had better find her brother soon, or she'll have a coronation on her doorstep.

With the revelation of Rogol Zarr's involvement with the destruction of Krypton and his eradication of the Bottle City of Kandor, Supergirl embarks into space in SUPERGIRL TP VOL 01 THE KILLERS OF KRYPTON, from Marc Andreyko, Dan Jurgens, Kevin Maguire, Doc Shaner and many, many more. With nothing more than her wits, powers, a cobbled-together ship and some info from a trusty Green Lantern, Supergirl is in outer space and out for vengeance.

After the senses-shattering volume one of Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman's glorious new Venom run, they're back to put emotions, both yours and Eddie's, through the wringer with VENOM BY DONNY CATES TP VOL 02. The symbiote has parted from Eddie, and now all he has left is the silence of San Francisco to comfort him. But when his estranged father turns up unannounced, he'll have a surprise for Eddie: a little brother he never knew.

One of the modern masters of comic book horror, Cullen Bunn, teams up with artist Adam Gorham to bring you the Valiant universe's resident voodoo priestess her first solo series with PUNK MAMBO #1 (OF 5). Having grown up in London and moved on out to the Louisiana Bayou, Punk Mambo investigates all series of weird and supernatural cases, and this one is shaping up to be her strangest, deadliest one yet.

Julius Black runs an antique store in Joseph Schmalke and Rich Woodall's ELECTRIC BLACK #1, but the eponymous store isn't just any store, and Mr. Black isn't just any retailer. The Electric Black travels through time and space, honing in on anyone it wants corrupt or devour, always having a knick knack or artifact at the ready to lead those down the road of destruction.

A quirky one-off for the more mature readers comes in the form of James Santon's I THINK OUR FRIEND DAN MIGHT BE A DOLPHIN ONE SHOT. A book that puts the funny back into funny book, see how a dolphin tries to pass for an ordinary man, and how weak his efforts to disguise himself are.

In the world of Jughead the Hunger, vampires are extinct, whilst in the Vampironica world, it's vampires rule the night. So when Jughead the Werewolf meets Vampironica in Frank Tierie and Pat & Tim Kennedy's JUGHEAD HUNGER VS VAMPIRONICA #1, it's going to be a bloodshed.

If you're a fan of the messy lives young people lead while trying to figure out where they fit in the world, then you have to check out CANNONBALL GN, the debut graphic novel by Kelsey Wroten. Cannonball gives you the inside scoop on the life of Caroline Bertram, a queer, aspiring writer, with an arts school degree and no idea what to do with herself.

For all your paranormal and supernatural problems, from signing deals with the devil to having loved ones dragged to hell, then you just need to call on the Harrow sisters, Kate and Cate. If you need prior references to be sure they're the ones to call, then just check out Ian Boothby and Gisele Lagace's EXORSISTERS TP VOL 01, where you can see their past successes when dealing with the underworld.

With the world undergoing a revolution of gender identities, it can be hard to understand or be sure how it all works. Well, be confused no longer by checking out Mary G and JR Zuckerberg's QUICK & EASY GUIDE TO QUEER & TRANS IDENTITIES for the most comprehensive guide on the subject.

Joe Casey and Piotr Kowalski return for another volume of adult ages fun with SEX TP VOL 06 WORLD HUNGER. In Saturn City, Simon Cooke travels across the world to learn about the secrets of illustrious Illuminati, but that leaves his city wide open to all forms of desperation and depravity. Don't miss it! Unless you're under 18, then you never read any of this now, did you?

From the best-selling creator behind Sisters, Smile, Drama and Ghosts, Raina Telgemeier comes an opportunity to learn how to tell your own story with SHARE YOUR SMILE RAINAS GUIDE TO TELLING YOUR OWN. Whether your story be true or imagined, if you want the rest of the world to experience it, then this book is a great place to learn how to get started, for anyone of all-ages.

While entertainment has changed significantly from the days of Shakespeare, his works still inspire today. But now, Ian Doescher and Nicolas Delort take things to the next level with WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE GET THEE BACK TO FUTURE HC and WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE MUCH ADO ABOUT MEAN GIRLS HC. Taking two very popular films and giving them a Shakespearean twist, see the stories you know and love like never before.

Everybody likes to have a gamble every now and again, and is there a more stylish way to do it than with the HELLBOY PLAYING CARDS? A royal flush would never look better than with a set of cards featuring Mike Mignola's classic art, which is majestic unto itself.

The long weekend is over, and April along with it, so that can mean only one thing: it's time for PREVIEWS #368 MAY 2019. Filled to the brim with the latest upcoming releases, be sure to take careful note of anything and everything you might like so you don't miss out.

New Comics For Wednesday 17th of April

Creeping closer to the first Saturday in May, Free Comic Book Day is just around the corner but before then you'll need some Easter reading to get you through next weekend. Let us help you out.

With the final winner of our international challenge with Chicago's own Challengers Comics still to be decided, the real winners are everyone who checked out the exciting first issue of Little Bird. 

Now, you can continue the journey set up by Darcy Van Poelgeest and Ian Bertram in LITTLE BIRD #2 (OF 5), as Little Bird, in a dreamscape, is reunited with her mother and the mysteries of her family lineage are revealed to her.

With Buffy the Vampire Slayer making a triumphant return to pop culture with a new series from Boom, it wasn't going to be long until a certain vampire reared his head as well. Now, the fan-favourite bloodsucker, Angel, returns to comics with the super secret and surprise ANGEL #0, from Bryan Hill and Gleb Melnikov, continuing to protect the world to redeem himself for his monstrous beginnings.

When a world embroiled in turmoil cried out for a hero, Xena the Warrior Princess stood up for her people. Now, she's back for more action and bloodshed in her new ongoing series, starting with XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS #1, from Vita Ayala and Olympia Sweetman. In the first of many new adventures, Xena and her companion Gabrielle must learn the secrets behind a village of children exhibiting super strength.

Did everyone enjoy Symbiote Spider-Man #1? Great... wait? You already want more black suit Spidey? Gee, I guess the best we can do for you all is the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #252 FACSIMILE EDITION, from Roger Stern, Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz! It's a recreation of the original comic debut of the symbiote suit for Spider-Man on Earth and is perfect way to fill the void left until the second issue of Symbiote Spider-Man hits the stands.

Following the events of issue number 3, Matt Murdock sure has his work cut out for him in Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto's DAREDEVIL #4. If being wanted for crimes he didn't commit wasn't hard enough, as well as being chased by a detective with zero time for vigilantes, now the Punisher is back in Hell's Kitchen, and Daredevil will need to stop him from bringing too much pain along with him.

If Daredevil doesn't satiate your appetite for Mr. Zdarsky this week, then you should also grab a copy of SPIDER-MAN LIFE STORY #2 (OF 6), especially after that epic first issue with art from Mark Bagley. It's now the groovy 70s, and Peter and Gwen are trying to find happiness, despite the Green Goblin being after their lives. But while the Goblin is after them, Norman Obsorn is not. The web of intrigue continues to weave it's storytelling magic.

The war between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance continues to wreak destruction on the galaxy, and it's the innocent civilians of the Empire that are suffering. But now a new squadron, Shadow Wing, has been formed to take out the threat of the Rebellion in STAR WARS TIE FIGHTER #1 (OF 5), from Jody Houser and Roge Antonia.

The excitement continues in Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman's WAR OF REALMS #2 (OF 6) WR, which sees Malekith and his legion continue to devastate the Earth. Thor is the only one who can stop them, but he's trapped in the Land of the Frost Giants. With the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes duking it out in New York and beyond, a hero will fall, as befitting all of Marvel's big events.

Monsters stalk the streets of New York City, but a monster of the city's own making is ready to send them to meet their maker in WAR OF REALMS PUNISHER #1 (OF 3) WR, from Gerry Duggan and Marcelo Ferreira. Frank Castle has been stepping up his game in taking out the most deadly of criminal forces, and now he has a real challenge before him as Malekith's minions face off against the Punisher.

Like all of Marvel's big comic book events, there's almost a library's worth of tie-ins to accompany the main series, but if you're looking for that one little extra book to expand the event, then you can't go wrong with WAR OF REALMS WAR SCROLLS #1 (OF 3) WR, from the writer of the event, Jason Aaron, with art from Andrea Sorrentino. Gifted with Heimdall's sight of the Bifrost, the blind Daredevil will see more than he could ever imagine, and he'll need it to be not just Hell Kitchen's guardian devil, but one for the Earth. Maybe most important it gives us our third Zdarksy hit in the same week with an all new Howard the Duck story with Joe Quinones art!

Before Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Blue Beetle, the Question and many more epic heroes, Steve Ditko was a master of the art of drawing monsters, and some of his best works featuring Gorgo and Konga are collected in DITKO MONSTERS, with words by Joe Gill. They're not fighting each other, but as they face down commies and other foes, they will fight for your love in this horror-ific book.

A challenge for both the creation and the creatives, the KAMANDI CHALLENGE TP collects the limited series, with a new creative team tackling each issue, and in paperback for the first time. All-star writers and artists featured include: Gail Simone, Tom King, Peter J. Tomasi, Paul Levitz, Neal Adams, Amanda Conner, Dan Jurgens, Walt Simonson and many more have the last boy on earth really put through his paces.

Worlds collide in Peter David and Rick Leonardi's SPIDER-MAN 2099 VS VENOM 2099 TP, which brings us more of Miguel O'Hara's, the Spider-Man of 2099, crazy adventures. First off, he undergoes time-travelling, body-swap with his inspiration, the original Spider-Man: Peter Parker. Then, if that wasn't enough for one spider, he'll have to find his way out of the intricate web of traps set by Dr. Doom of 2099, before clashing with the Venom of 2099, who possesses a secret connection with Miguel himself. If the present is too dull for you, then you need more 2099 in your life.

For nearly two hundred years, it has been debated how the author supreme, Mary Shelley, was able to so scarily and vividly bring a creature like Frankenstein's monster to life with her words. That answer is finally coming to light in Adam Glass, Olivia Cuartero-Briggs and Hayden Sherman's MARY SHELLEY MONSTER HUNTER #1. In this series, learn about how Shelley didn't just create the events of Frankenstein, she lived them!

Back in the 1980's, jocks ruled the school yard, and anything outside of sports was a source of ridicule. So when three jocks are accidentally frozen in a cryogenic experiment gone wrong in Paul Constant and Alan Robinson's PLANET OF THE NERDS #1, they awake in a future year ruled by nerds and their culture: 2019.

Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino's sleeper hit of 2018 returns for another story arc, collected within GIDEON FALLS TP VOL 02 ORIGINAL SINS. As the man called Norton continues his hunt for the elusive Black Barn, whilst the out-of-his-depth Catholic priest, Father Fred, reveals the secret behind a series of grisly murders.

While ordinary folk live their lives never witnessing anything strange or unusual, they would never suspect that the unusual is hiding under their very noses. That's thanks to the five magical families that compose the eponymous Magic Order in Mark Millar and Olivier Coipel's MAGIC ORDER TP VOL 01. But now someone is taking out members of the order, one by one. Will there be enough of the order left to defend the Earth?

From Mai K. Nguyen comes a touching story of friendship between Willow, a lover of forests, and Pilu, a tree spirit that lives in a magnolia grove Willow's mother used to take her to in PILU OF THE WOODS GN. When Pilu gets lost and can't find her way back home, Willow sets out to reunite the tree spirit with their home and forcing Willow to face her turbulent past.

In the world of Karmome Shirahama's WITCH HAT ATELIER GN VOL 01, magic is a natural part of life, but can only be accessed by those born with the gift, as everyone knows. Coco is a young girl determined to be a witch, but was born without the gift, however, that doesn't mean she'll let that stop her. A chance encounter with a magician reveals that maybe there is a way for Coco to achieve her dream, and what everybody thought they knew about magic was wrong.

From one of the best artists around comes one of the best looking Hal Jordan Green Lantern statues around with Ivan Reis' DC DESIGNER SERIES GREEN LANTERN BY IVAN REIS STAT. Featuring Hal in a kick-ass pose, ready to bring the will-fueled smackdown on the unfortunate foe that got in his way, you don't want to miss out on owning this one.

As you can see plenty to keep you busy this holiday weekend when you aren't eating chocolate.

If there is something here you are after, just let us know before close on Tuesday and we'll get you sorted.

Until we see you next, have a great week, live life and read comics!

New Comics For Wednesday 10th of April

No messing around, let's get to it. This week's books, what are you keen for? Here's a little preview.

The Age of Republic has fallen, and an Age of Rebellion begins with Greg Pak and Marc Laming's STAR WARS AOR GRAND MOFF TARKIN #1. With the creation of a brand new, planet-destroying superweapon, Grand Moff Tarkin and the Galactic Empire reign supreme, but what hurdles did Tarkin have to take to get the weapon not only built, but also under his personal control? You better pick up this issue to find out.

There was no more iconic moment for Spider-Man in the 80's than when he got a sweet new set of black duds during Secret Wars (okay, maybe his wedding day might compete), but our time with it was all too short before it became the supervillain, Venom. Now, Peter David and Iban Coello set to right that wrong with SYMBIOTE SPIDER-MAN #1, presenting the first issue of a miniseries that sees Peter back in black, and with Mysterio causing mayhem.

From the entertaining podcasters behind the popular Adventure Zone podcast and graphic novel, Clint and Justin McElroy, comes the first of many War of Realms miniseries with WAR OF REALMS JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #1 (OF 5) WR, featuring art from Andre Araujo. With the Earth under siege from Malekith's forces, and no Thor around to stop them, Miles Morales, Kate Bishop, Wonder Man and Balder the Brave team up to find their only hope: Thor's baby sister!

The Web of Venom gets more complicated and intricate in this latest offering of symbiote goodness from Frank Tieri and Danilo Beyruth with WEB OF VENOM CULT OF CARNAGE #1. New terrors are rising in the Marvel Universe leading to the upcoming Absolute Carnage event, forming in the depths of space, whilst evil is also originating on Earth as murder is being committed in the name of Carnage.

After a 1000 issues of detective work, is a Batman's job ever done? Of course not! Batman embarks on a new adventure from Peter J Tomasi and Brad Walker, starting with DETECTIVE COMICS #1001. The Arkham Knight has come to claim Gotham City for himself and protect from the threat he believes Batman poses.

Remember the good old days when you bought a comic, and you got a full story in one issue? The good people at Image do, and that's the deal they're offering with Brian Schirmer and Claudia Balboni's FAIRLADY #1. Amongst a cadre of male private detectives going by the name "Fairmen", Jenner Faulds is the only "Fairlady", and rampant sexism in the department leaves her with cases no-one wants. But within those hopeless cases may be the one that makes her career.

Following the exciting, yet heartbreaking conclusion of the Bat/Cat wedding, Joelle Jones takes Catwoman out on the rooftops of Gotham with CATWOMAN TP VOL 01 COPYCATS. Whilst tracking down former criminal cohorts to bring them to their timely justice, and having to deal with a new threat, the life of Selina Kyle is more than enough of an adrenaline rush without having to worry about Batman.

Take a walk through the life of a bear named Clyde in Jim Benton's appropriately named CLYDE GN. A fun, all-ages book that shows what happens when you leave behind what seems safe and familiar in pursuit of something risky and new, this is a great book to keep your kids reading during the school holidays.

A new addition to the Jinxworld library arrives with a very personal tale from Brian Michael Bendis, collected in its entirety in FORTUNE & GLORY A TRUE HOLLYWOOD COMIC BOOK STORY TP. Landing in Hollywood, see how Bendis, the indie comic book creator, navigates his way through Tinseltown and the motion picture industry.

With the new Hellboy film right around the corner, get the very best of in-depth looks at the making of the movie with HELLBOY HC ART OF MOTION PICTURE. Jam-packed with a thousands pieces of artwork and photography of the behind-the-scenes action, no Hellboy fan should pass this one up.

After many clashes with Lex Luthor's Legion of Doom, the latest line-up of the Justice League faces their biggest fight yet in Scott Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE AQUAMAN DROWNED EARTH HC, and for Aquaman, this one is personal. Ocean Lords from outer space have come to take their vengeance on the Earth, and to stop them, Aquaman may have to use a power even he fears.

Greg Pak's popular all-ages series has its latest issues collected within MECH CADET YU TP VOL 03, which sees the Mech Cadets out of the academy and on the front lines of the Second Sharg War. Standford, Park, Olivetti and Sanchez are the Earth's last hope as they face down an enemy they don't fully understand or comprehend.

Since the original film debuted in 1968, audiences and auteurs have all been shocked and wowed by the phenomenon that is the Planet of the Apes. To celebrate such a momentous franchise, artists of the highest caliber, such as Alex Ross, Paolo Riviera, Mike Allred and many more, join forces to bring you the PLANET OF THE APES ARTIST TRIBUTE HC, a wondrous hardcover filled with epic artworks inspired by the Planet of the Apes.

Catch up with Rainbow Rowell's latest issues of the Runaways with RUNAWAYS BY ROWELL AND ANKA TP VOL 03 THAT WAS YESTERDAY. A ghost from the Runaways' past has returned with an ultimatum, with the course of the world waiting to be set by the final outcome. If that isn't exciting enough for you, Alex Wilder is back too! The source of the team's greatest leadership and heartbreak, how will Alex's return affect the Runaways?

When he moved to DC from Marvel, Jack Kirby didn't want to have anyone pulled away from their current assignments, so he took the one that was already available: Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen, and proved that a title is only limited by the creator's imagination, not the headline character. Within the pages of SUPERMANS PAL JIMMY OLSEN BY JACK KIRBY TP, witness the beginnings of Kirby's magnum opus, the Fourth World, as well as the first appearance of Darkseid. The world of Superman and DC would never be the same after this one.

From the popular writer behind the Joker graphic novel and the current Batman Damned series, Brian Azzarello, comes a new miniseries in the form of FAITHLESS #1 (OF 5), featuring artwork from Maria Llovet. Faith likes to mess about with magic, and it's one of the things that makes her standout from the crowd. While many think it's cute or off-putting, Faith truly believes, and Hell has taken notice, letting her finally access that power.

From a variety of different creators, comes NIB #1 FAMILY ISSUE, an anthology magazine filled with stories that centre around the creators' insights about family relationships. From the price tag of pregnancy, genetic madness, deportation and the way the term family is being redefined by queer people.

It's a brand new manga from Sun Takeda, it's GLEIPNIR GN VOL 01! Shuichi Kagaya is a submissive doormat of a lad who can transform into a ragged beast, complete with a zippered compartment in his back and a huge revolver. That compartment that will come in handy, however, when he gets roped into helping his cute, dominating classmate find her murderous sister. Poor Shuichi...

The space opera manga that was the source material for the Star Blazers anime and a source of  inspiration for the beloved Mobile Suit Gundam franchise finally gets an English printing with SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO CLASSIC COLLECTION GN, from Leiji Matsumoto. Aliens have attacked Earth, leaving the planet irradiated and poisonous, giving humanity only one year left to live. But from desperation and survival comes humanity's last hope: the Space Battleship Yamato! Can the intrepid space crew find a cure for the Earth's ills in the depths of outer space?

The English translation of Mirka Andolfo's acclaimed Unnatural series continues with UNNATURAL TP VOL 02. Leslie has discovered within herself a power that is craved by many, but attained by very few. Still being chased by a shadowy organisation desperate for her abilities, she's lost her best friends, but may be finding a place for herself among a rebel faction that looks to take down the corrupt government.

For you lovers of magic and role-playing games, you have to check out Vitor Caffagi's adorable VINCENT GN BOOK 01 GUIDE TO LOVE MAGIC & RPG. Vincent has not had a good day in a while, so when he sees a girl called Lady smile, he falls head over heels for her. Little did he know that falling for that smile means he now must embark upon an RPG quest with his friends, in pursuit of his first, non-platonic love interest.

From the creative mind behind Through the Woods, Emily Carroll, comes a book full of dark, gothic imagery, and rich red blood. That book is WHEN I ARRIVED AT CASTLE GN, which combines passages of prose with terrifying, nightmarish pieces of art. A book that shouldn't be read after dark, unless you're especially daring.

If you love a good figure of Batman, but the statues are way beyond your price point, then definitely consider looking at the BATMAN BLACK & WHITE BLIND BAG MINI FIGS W1. With six different Batman figures designed by artists such as Amanda Conner, Darwyn Cooke, Jason Fabok, Patrick Gleason, Frank Quitely and Dick Sprang, you won't know which one you'll get, but be sure to try and collect them all.

 But, if you don't want to spare any expense on your epic Batman collection, then you'll be dying to add the BATMAN BLACK & WHITE STATUE WHITE KNIGHT BY SEAN MURPHY. With the design taken directly from Sean Gordon Murphy's epic Batman: White Knight storyline, this is one of the best statues going around.

Things are looking pretty great for the week ahead, let us know if there is anything extra you are after before close Tuesday for us to get it sorted for you!
Until we see you next, live life and read comics!
