7 Days to go!
A very mixed bag of Christmas cheer, super heroism and Stalinism for you this week.
Divinity III have gone all Red Son on us, thrusting their characters into a world where Stalin won the cold war. Valiant have really stepped up this year, putting out great title after title, and if you're looking for a point to dip your toe in the water, this could be perfect. Every single cover of Divinity III is amazing this month, and I'm not just saying that because there is a cat dressed as a super hero on one of them.
The Guardians of the Galaxy are well represented with new #1s for both Gamora and Star Lord. Gamora covers the time before she was a Guardian, working as an assassin and becoming one of the most dangerous women in the galaxy. Star Lord covers Peter Quills attempts to find a job on earth, so maybe less exciting than Gamora. ;)
Gamora's main cover is a brilliant pulp sci-fi cover inspired cover.
Justice League Suicide Squad #1 is out this week, and either the Justice League have something like kryptonian flu or the Suicide Squad have been working out....a lot. Can you throw a boomerang fast enough that it can hit the flash? Do guns work on Cyborg? Does Mallet beat Lasso in DC Rock Paper Scissors? Does Batman have some choice words for the Joker's Ex? Will we get the answer to any of these questions? Find out in this comic!
The Mighty Captain Marvel kicks off this week, with Margaret Stohl helming. Can Carol Danvers cope with the fallout of Civil War II (which still has an issue to run)?
Marvel's Ant and Dec attempt to save Christmas in Powerman and Iron-fist's Christmas Annual!
There is a crossover between the Green Lanterns and Star Trek....and this isn't the first time! How will Spock react to all this?
Grant Morrison brings back Klaus for a festive one-shot of the great man kicking arse with his axe through time and space!
Thanks very much, see you in store Wednesday, and if we don't have a great Christmas!

GUMBALLS #1
OCT160481
(W) Erin Nations (A/CA) Erin Nations
Pop in your quarters and see what pops out of GUMBALLS-a brand-new, one-man anthology comic from Portland cartoonist Erin Nations! His bright, candy-colored palette and crisp linework pop off the page, while his stories reflect a fascination with humanity in all its diverse foibles - hinting at one of his earliest creative influences, Matt Groening.
In Gumballs #1, Erin serves up a delicious variety of stories: recollections of growing up as a triplet, interactions with oddball grocery-store customers, the adventures of clueless dork Tobias, painfully funny faux Personal Ads, and "Tales of Being Trans"-reflections on Erin's true-life journey of gender transition.
• Gumballs tips its hat to the classic alt-comic tradition of Eightball, Optic Nerve, and Box Office Poison, but speaks with a delightfully fresh voice for the modern age.
