This week we have a new Rebirth for Ray, more of the Stalinverse care of Divinity III, Marvel unleashes Monsters and the Mighty Captain Marvel on the Marvel Universe.
This week also sees the beginning of the Kamandi Challenge. Continuing DC's push to have fun and take clever risks with their non-A list properties (anyone reading Young Animals or practically any Hanna Barbera title knows what I'm talking about), we see the launch of the Kamandi Challenge. A 12 book arc written by 12 teams each picking up from a cliffhanger like in some old paper folding game. It looks insane and funny, and should be well worth a look no matter what you know of or feel about a character called Kamandi.
Curse Words sees an evil wizard take New York by storm. From the art alone I am assuming the slapstick of Transmet mixed with Harry Potter and just a hint of Lucifer. It's going to be great to see what Charles Soule will come up with now he's got some time to do his own thing, and who doesn't love a story about an angry and probably inept wizard?
We also see something quite strange arrive at our doors, WWE the comic. This series is going to cover behind the scenes stories from dramatic moments in WWE history, this arc covering the Breaking of the Shield. If it goes well I would imagine we could expect other WWE books in the future.
A mini competition here for you all, I know there has to be a funnier title to this week's post so if you can come up with a better one using the titles of this week's #1 comics we will give you a copy of Kamandi #1 for free. Leave answers in the comments, there can be only 1 winner and if nothing makes us laugh tough, remember we are hardened bitter men. In addition you or a designated human of your choice have to be able to come and collect the comic from the store, so sorry for people who can't make it in.
See you all Wednesday
Tom & Owen
(the urge to put inverted commas around the word 'history' in the WWE paragraph was so strong)
