New Comic Book Day 03/08/2016 - Tsumthing Strange

Things are getting back to normal here at CGC towers after a busy week preparing for Tom's & Hannah's celebrations and there are many new titles to tempt you with - Most of them with a distinctly darker tone (kill, death or suicide featuring in many monikers!). However, all of that darkness is more than offset by Marvel Tsum Tsums taking over the covers of your favourite Marvel reads to celebrate the start of their own series - strangely coinciding with the start of the summer holidays!

First Issues

(W) Paul Allor, Chuck Wendig (A) Juanan Ramirez, Diego Olortegui (CA) Jamal Campbell
• Sam Alexander's finding it hard to cope with the fact that his dad is M.I.A. in the far reaches of space. Luckily, this Father's Day, Nova's got the chance to help former New Warrior Midnight's Fire put his family back together. But when Iron Man shows up to inform his young teammate he's backing the wrong horse, will Nova cool his jets?
•  Celebrating the Fourth of July is complicated enough for a patriotic symbol turned soviet assassin, but then Hydra agents had to go and rob the Winter Soldier's
secret storage locker. Who sent them? What do they want? Bucky doesn't care - he just wants his #$%& back.

(W) Marguerite Bennett (A/CA) Rafael de Latorre
One day, the Animals woke up.
They started thinking. They started talking.
They started taking revenge.

Now, a dog and his girl are trying to get away--out of New York City, and all the way to San Francisco, to the only person who might be able to protect and save her.

From the writer of INSEXTS  A-FORCE, and BOMBSHELLS and the artist of SUPERZERO, comes a new kind of road trip, a new kind of black comedy, and a new kind of coming-of-age.

(W) Gordon Rennie (A) Andrea Olimpieri (CA) Fabio Listrani
The city of Dunwall: whaling capital of Gristol and industrial hub of the Empire of the Isles. Twelve years have passed since Corvo Attano scuppered the Lord Regent's duplicitous plot against the crown and cleared his name of the Empress Jessamine's murder. Now a little older and perhaps a little wiser, Corvo sets his sights on the future and securing an apprentice to continue his legacy. But when confronted by an impossible face from his past, the magically-gifted assassin finds himself once again drawn into a supernatural conspiracy, one that threatens to shake the very foundations of his ancient city!

With great power... comes great corruption. Superheroes are real. They walk the earth as gods among men. But the fairy tales of them protecting mankind and being heroes were all lies.

The double-sized debut issue of the new sci-fi-rom-com-dram-actioner from the writer of THE BUNKER and the artist of MY LITTLE PONY--wait, really? Okay. INVASION! Aliens are real. They're here, they're mean and they're standing in judgement over the citizens of Earth. Final countdown. Representing humanity (by some fluke) is your boy Jeff Steinberg.

Washington DC detective Kate Burnham interrupted an assassination attempt. Now the killer is back to finish the job, and he'll let nothing stand in his way - including Kate! The noose is tightening... "With Control, we wanted to write a 100% police procedural, the kind of smart, character-driven, real-world crime drama that rules on TV. It's about sex, power, and systems of control... and how the little guys have to game a system that's rigged against them." - Andy Diggle
