Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great night and AREN'T FEELING TOO FRAGILE OR FIND SHOUTING UNCOMFORTABLE!
If you haven't had a look at Owen's 2016: A Year in Numbers post you should if only to see what everyone else has been reading this year!
We have a relatively quiet week for you folks and apparently New Year is seeing us get a lot of titles and characters returning:
The return of AVP Life and Death for those of you missing your Alien fix at the moment.
Readers of Deadpool Kills Deadpool will see the return of a familiar face in the form of Deadpool the Duck, The Merc with the Mouth becomes the Merc with a Bill. How will Howard's cynicism mix with Deadpool's insanity? Only one way to find out!
We have more returning heroes in the shape of Marvel's The Unstoppable Wasp and DC's The Atom, both tiny in stature but packing a punch!
Readers looking forward to the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 should keep their eyes open for the Vol 2 Prelude which starts this week.
New Comic Book Day is Friday again this week due to the Bank Holiday so please bear with us. We look forward to seeing you all in the near future and we hope 2017 is great for all of you.
See you soon and have fun
Tom and Owen

The story of Sherman, Dorothy, Ed, Stephen, Jane, and Mr. Flavor as you've never seen it before: IN FULL COLOR! Alex Robinson's masterpiece of dreary jobs, comic books, love, sex, messy apartments, girlfriends (and the lack thereof), undisclosed pasts, and crusty old professionals remains one of the most delightful and whimsical comic stories-and with colorist Pat N. Lewis' fantastic color work, BOP is ready to return to comic stands!

• "A salute to comics, an exploration of the human condition, and a solid, absorbing, and riotously snide tale about at least half of the things that make life important." - Tasha Robinson, The AV Club
• Each issue will be presented in color for the very first time!

DEADPOOL THE DUCK #1
NOV160829
(W) Stuart Moore (A) Jacopo Camagni (CA) David Nakayama
What do you get when you take one cynical anthropomorphic duck (named Howard) and cross it with the smelliest (and most annoying) mercenary in the Marvel Universe? DEADPOOL THE DUCK! When Deadpool is sent on a mission from S.H.I.E.L.D. to capture a high-profile E.T. that is rampaging across the high plains, the snatch-and-grab turns out to be much more complicated than the Merc with a Mouth anticipated. One unfortunate wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time accident later leaves Deadpool and Howard fighting for control of the cutest mercenary the Marvel Universe has ever seen! Brought to you with words by Stuart Moore (CLOAK & DAGGER, THANOS: DEATH SENTENCE Novel) and art by Jacopo Camagni (DEADPOOL'S SECRET SECRET WARS).
