Another great week for comics, loads of interesting first issues, X-men Gold and X-men Blue continue (drama free (hopefully)) and "The Button" investigation that begun in last week's Batman #21 continues in The Flash #21! Exciting!
So what's new?
The one man creative team that is James Stokoe brings us a new Aliens title, and the art looks perfect. Dark, intricate and claustrophobic, this may well be the best book for Alien fans in a long time.
Fans of Valiant's excellent Brittania are also in for a treat, with a new #1 arriving Wednesday. "Brittania: We Who Are About to Die" is a story that stretches from Rome's Colosseum to the Palatine Hill, and follows Antonius Axia on a new case. The first Brittania was brilliant and sold out exceedingly quickly, so if you want a copy grab one fast or let us know!
The Flash is not Batman's only crossover this week with a side trip to Dynamite's The Shadow for some detective on detective action. For those of you who like your Batman as classic as possible this may well be the book for you.
On top of all that we have more classic Marvel from their True Believers line, Archangel #4 is finally out and Infamous Iron Man #7 is here.
See you all soon!

BRITANNIA WE WHO #1
FEB172054
(W) Peter Milligan (A) Juan Jose Ryp (CA) Cary Nord
Valiant's critically acclaimed, 10-time sold-out magnum opus returns with a brand-new journey into myth and mystery, from comics master Peter Milligan and incendiary artist Juan José Ryp!
Fifty thousand Romans stand on their feet, watching from the rafters of the coliseum with captured breath as Achillia, a Gladiator unlike any that Rome has seen before, faces incredible odds - one lone warrior against five of Rome's greatest. Such is the tradition, when a female gladiator enters the fray. When the carnage is complete, the coliseum roars its approval as Achillia stands victorious. Now only one match away from winning her freedom, she has begun to gain renown. The women of Rome, suppressed by their husbands and fathers, have noticed. The men of Rome, husbands and fathers to a growing horde of women entertaining ideas of independence, have noticed as well.
On the other side of Rome, a strange mystery swirls through the Palatine Hill. In the dead of night, down winding alleys, Rome's elite swear that they see visions of a blood-soaked Apollo walking the city...visions that are driving them mad. Even more are becoming sick with weird fever god-dreams. Panic ensues in the city. The Chief Vestal, Rubria, is arrested by Emperor Nero and threatened with crucifixion unless the deadly curse that's fallen on Rome is lifted. She asks Antonius Axia, hero of Britannia and Rome's only detective, for help. She offers only one clue...the gladiator Achillia.

(W) Patrick Kindlon (CA) Alexis Ziritt (A/CA) Maria Llovet
Celebrity-socialite Reno Selleti doesn't believe in very much beyond Instagram comments, hipster drugs, and the flash of paparazzi cameras, so when a friend invites her to an EYES WIDE SHUT-type party she goes along mostly for the lulz.

Like Darren Aronofsky remaking DRAG ME TO HELL, There's Nothing There is a stylish & hallucinatory thriller about losing yourself in the bright lights and finding yourself at rock bottom. By your new favorite artist Maria Llovet and Patrick Kindlon (We Can Never Go Home, S.H.I.E.L.D.: Quake).
