Greetings! It's time to peruse the latest comics (and other things) hitting CGC's shelves on Wednesday 25th January 2017.
This week we get many new series starting as well as some long awaited one-shots.
We get to find out what happened in the rest of the world during the animal wake in Animosity 'The Rise' one-shot.
Hellboy Returns for his regular Winter Special (and remember to check out the other on-gong series for HB joy)
We get to see Biff's side of things in the B2tF world in BACK TO THE FUTURE BIFF TO THE FUTURE #1 - I wonder if he will end up in a pile of something as per usual?
Civil War II has ended but the aftermath continues in The Oath #1 while Marvel's latest event Monsters Unleashed hits a number of series ( Spidey/Deadpool should have some fun with those mischievous monsters).
The Kamandi Challenge begins with issue #1 after last week's prep issue - I am intrigued to see the first cliffhanger before the reigns are handed over to a new creative team for issue #2!
That's all for the overview this week but have a scroll down to see all this week's issues as well as collections and merchandise (with Pop!s ranging from Niffler to Negan)
See you in the shop soon!

LADYCASTLE #1
NOV161224
(W) Delilah Dawson (CA) Elsa Charretier (A/CA) Ashley A. Woods
When King Mancastle and his mighty vassals ride off on crusade, the women left behind are not at all put out-that's a lot less armor polishing for them to do. Of course, when the men get themselves eaten by a dragon and leave a curse that attracts monsters to the castle...well, the women take umbrage with that. Now the blacksmith's wife Merinor is King, Princess Aeve is the Captain, and the only remaining (and least capable) knight Sir Riddick is tasked with teaching the ladies of the castle how to fight, defend, build, and do all manner of noisy things the men had been doing while the women assumed they were just drunk. Novelist Delilah S. Dawson (Star Wars: The Perfect Weapon, As Wicked as She Wants, Wake of Vultures) brings her first original series to comics, and is joined by breakthrough illustrator Ashley A. Woods (Niobe: She Is Life) for a rollicking fantasy adventure featuring women reclaiming their lives on their terms.

From JASON LATOUR, the Eisner-winning co-creator of SOUTHERN BASTARDS and the writer of Spider-Gwen, CHRIS BRUNNER (SOUTHERN BASTARDS, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight), and RICO RENZI (Spider-Gwen, Squirrel Girl).
