New Comic Book Day 30/12/2106 - "I feel your presents"

Well it's Christmas time so I hope you have all enjoyed copious amounts of food and chosen beverages - We shall keep the new comics briefing as short as possible this week so you can get back to gorging on mince pies!

Most importantly comics are released a bit later than usual for the next two weeks - Comics are being delivered on Thursday for release Friday.

The Christmas elves have sent us some very overdue books for release with Civil War #8, Dark Knight II #7 and Harley's Little Black Book #5 all dropping :D

Otherwise there are plenty of books to get excited about as we prep to see the new year in when we reopen on Thursday.

(W) Jeff Lemire, Matt Kindt (A) Juan Jose Ryp (A/CA) Clayton Crain
Out of the the pages of DIVINITY III: STALINVERSE...New York Times best-selling writer Jeff Lemire (Death of X) and comics superstar Clayton Crain (4001 A.D.) present the first of four essential specials chronicling the history of the Stalinverse's worldwide superhuman regime!

He's put down protests, led the purge of political undesirables, and executed dozens of traitors to the Soviet super-state. His name is KOMANDAR BLOODSHOT...and his existence is a hushed whisper among the terrifi ed populace of the 21st century's global Soviet Union. But just who is this unrelenting enforcer of state superiority... and what is the shocking truth about his power, his allegiances, and his true identity? Valiant's fi rst reality-shattering event explodes outward as Jeff Lemire & Clayton Crain lead KOMANDAR BLOODSHOT from DIVINITY III...and into a gut-wrenching tale of power, sacrifice, and authority that will take Valiant's blood-stained icon to his most punishing depths yet!

The Squadron Supreme's Nighthawk is Chicago's dark protector, dispensing decisive justice to those who truly deserve it. But someone even more brutal is targeting the city's shadiest power brokers in a series of grisly murders. As the bodies pile up, Nighthawk must decide whether to hunt this psycho - or leave him to it! And as racial tension grips the city, Nighthawk faces another choice: defend his new home, or watch it burn. With white supremacists on one side and cops out to get him on the other, he's bitten off more than he can chew - and that's before he becomes the new obsession of the elusive serial killer the Revelator! Nighthawk's in for a bloody, life-or-death fight that will define him. Can he save Chicago as a hero? Or does the city require a villain? Collecting NIGHTHAWK (2016) #1-6.

Collecting the first seven issues of the epic AfterShock series!
At the cusp of the 1898 World's Fair, America is poised to become Earth's most industrious nation. When a terrible power emerges from the darkness, a group of unlikely heroes team-up to stop it. A tortured Teddy Roosevelt recruits a struggling Coney Island magician named Harry Houdini: a hard-drinking, gun-slinger, Annie Oakley; a financially strapped and aging Thomas Edison; and a boisterous, womanizing African American boxer with a big chip on his shoulder named Jack Johnson. These legends of old will soon wage a shadow war that will change the course of history for America, and the world. That is of course, if they don't kill one another first.
       Don't miss out on this first collection from ADAM GLASS (executive producer of Supernatural & writer of Suicide Squad) and PAT OLLIFFE (Untold Tales of Spider-Man).
