NCBD 16/03/2016 - London International

It's a busy NCBD again this week with many comics in general and quite few books starting out from the gates. Highlights include Bendis turning Tony Stark into James Bond and a new River of London series from Titan. We also start a new set of Deviations one-shots from IDW - What might have happened if the Ghostbusters never crossed the streams or if Fox Mulder had been abducted by aliens in the X-Files?

Ongoing series have James Bond escaping a deathtrap, the penultimate episode of Dragon Age: Magekiller and Captain Marvel's latest endeavours in Alpha Flight ,which are worth keeping an eye on considering the Civil War 2 information released in the last couple of weeks.

New series and one shots first followed by all this week's releases

PAKNADEL AND TRAKHANOV’S TURNCOAT #1 (OF 4) (COVER A ARTYOM TRAKHANOV)
Publisher: BOOM! STUDIOS
(W) Alex Paknadel (A/CA) Artyom Trakhanov

Alex Paknadel (Arcadia) and Artyom Trakhanov (Undertow) tell the story of a guilt-ridden protagonist through a grisly quest for a truth. Turncoat will scratch that itch you have for dark sci-fi like Blade Runner, The Forever War, and Neuromancer.

What It Is: 300 years since humanity was brutally subjugated by the alien race known simply as the Management. Two years since these invaders abandoned Earth to return to their home world. Following her participation in the brutal massacre of human-alien hybrids left behind by the Management, resistance fighter Marta Gonzalez declines to join the new human government and starts her own private detective agency instead. Gonzalez is forced to confront her own bloody past and acknowledge the fact that the transition from oppression to emancipation is anything but clean.
