New Comics Day 07/03/2018 - Oblivion Falls Upon Us

Well, it almost did last week with the Beast from the East (and the subsequent thaw getting a lot of moisture alarmingly close to a lot of paper based entertainment at our Winchester shop!)

Luckily we dodged that bullet and have a lot of rather exciting new releases for you this week!

Robert Kirkman gives us his first new book in many years with Oblivion Song #1 - A decade ago, 300,000 citizens of Philadelphia were suddenly lost in Oblivion. The government made every attempt to recover them, but after many years, they gave up. Nathan Cole...won't. He makes daily trips, risking his life to try and rescue those still living in the apocalyptic hellscape of Oblivion. But maybe...Nathan is looking for something else? Why can't he resist the siren call of the Oblivion Song? - Arriving in both standard cover and a crazy mega special edition we are also saying thanks to our pull list subscribers by adding this free of charge to anyone with over 10 titles in their pull list :D

After the build up over the last few weeks we have Infinity Countdown #1 - Infinity stones are popping up all over the place and pretty much everyone wants them - Some are bound to be disappointed and/or dead in the process. Find out who here!

Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino team up once again to give us Gideon Falls #1- Rural mystery and urban horror collide in this character-driven meditation on obsession, mental illness, and faith. Looks to be another winner for Lemire and will probably be Owen's book of the week ;).

The first in a new series of Rick & Morty one-shots arrives in which we explore the twisted and bombastic history of THE VINDICATORS in RICK & MORTY PRESENTS THE VINDICATORS #1

Spider King #1 from IDW answers the question - What happens when a fleet of spaceships crash into northern Europe in 956 AD, meeting a group of unlikely Viking heroes? These heroes will be the last line of defence against a brutal intergalactic warlord.

Boom give us Dodge City #1 detailing the world of competitive dodgeball and featuring the stories around a team called the Jazz Pandas - which probably makes it worth a read just for that!

Amazing Spider-man #797 is also arriving and as with all recent issues it is generating a lot of interest - We have plenty to sell at cover price but will be limiting purchases to 2 copies per customer to make sure as many as possible get to read the story :)

For the rest of the week's releases check out the full listing below and we hope to see you in the stores soon! 

Owen, Tom & Aaron
