Hope you have all had a rather wonderful Easter break (and maybe even caught up on some reading backlog ;))
First of all a little public service announcement for this week's releases - due to Easter bank holidays comics will be arriving with us Wednesday - We will get them turned around as quickly as possible but it is very unlikely pull lists will be ready until late afternoon :(
Right, now what have we got this week for all you funny book fans?!?
Well for starters Marvel kicks off Secret Empire with issue #0 - Evil Steve has been plotting away, Civil War II has weakened Shield and the other teams protecting the earth, and most importantly Hydra's employee benefits scheme has had a revamp. Now is the time for him to strike! (This title will be put in automatically for those with Steve Rogers in their pull list)
Vampires running a BBQ joint - No, not Chichester's latest boutique eatery but the concept for Redneck #1 from Donny Cates (fresh from success in God Country) - looks tasty!
The Edgar Rice Burroughs universe gets it's own team up in Greatest Adventure #1 from the writer of Fables Bill Willingham - Characters from Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Tarzan feature in this first issue (maybe some John Carter and others later?)
Fans of the current Black Widow or Bond series might want to check out the new Nick Fury #1 as it has him infiltrating the French riviera (not a metaphor!)
Guardians of the Galaxy Dream on #1 has the return of the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter Death's Head (one for readers of the old UK Transformers comics) - THE GUARDIANS ARE IN REAL TROUBLE, YES?
And all those are just scratching the surface so read on below for other new releases!
See you in the shop soon!

To complicate things further, Kaidu is fairly certain he's stumbled on a formula for the lost weapon of the mysterious founders of the City.
