New Comics Day 18th November 2020 - The Cheer is Here!

It's another week of lockdown but don't fret, there are some awesome - and super positive - titles coming out this week, and with names like A Dark Interlude and Sea of Sorrows they've sure to keep you smiling. Um... anyway.

The superhero series told from the perspectives of Joe Public continues this week with Marvel Snapshots: Avengers #1 (Barbara Randall Kesel, Kurt Busiek, Staz Johnson) and a meet-cute between two first responders gets the Tony Stark treatment... what could possibly go wrong with that?

Widowmakers: Red Guardian and Yelena Belova #1 (Devin Grayson, Michele Bandini) featuring the red room recruit who thought she would inherit the Black Widow title, and the man who is tired of waiting in Natashas shadow. Meanwhile Knull is up to his new old tricks again, in tie-in to the next event Symbiote Spider-Man?: King In Black #1 (Peter David, Greg Land) in which you can witness one of Knull's earliest attempts at birthing life from the darkness of non-creation!

You know Cable vol. 1 (Gerry Duggan, Phil Noto), right? Cable? Grizzled time-travelling veteran of countless wars? Yeah, he's a kid now. Go figure.

The best is back! Wolverine has been through a lot. He's been a hero and a killer. An X-Man and an Avenger. He's been to hell and back. Now, as the nation of Krakoa brings together all mutant-kind, can he finally be...happy? Wolverine finally has everything he ever wanted - and everything to lose. Find out more in this latest instalment of his story; Wolverine (Ben Percy, Viktor Bogdanovic, Adam Kubert).

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? I mean I like a good boogie as much as the next person but it's probably best you haven't... Anyway if you prefer more indoorsy, less risky, pursuits why not curl up with the Three Jokers hard cover (Geoff Johns, Jason Fabok), and find out why the question isn't as simple as "who is the Joker" because as they say, these things come in threes...

A ragtag group of heroes band together to take on the forces of Darkseid in Justice League Odyssey vol. 3, and for younger readers there is the story of how the Boy Wonder became well, the Boy Wonder, in DC Super Heroes Origins: Robin (Michael Dahl). Wonderful.

In the aftermath of the Great War, the North Atlantic is ripe for plunder by independent salvage crews. When a former naval officer hires the SS Vagabond, he leads the ship to a sunken U-boat, and a fortune in gold. Tensions mount as the crew prepares to double cross each other, but the darkness of the ocean floor holds deeper terrors than any of them have bargained for in Sea of Sorrows #1 (Rich Douek, Alex Cormack), and with a title like that it's going to be a fun ride for sure!

Mark Markz has found his place on Earth as both a decorated police officer and as the beloved superhero in Barbalien #1 (Tate Brombal (A/CA) Gabriel Hernandez Walta).

In Children of the Grave #1 (Sam Romesburg, Ben Roberts, Gioele Filippo) the earth is a newfound paradise, with all your needs catered for by the Providers, and the past forgotten. But some people just want to watch the world burn, and Daniel is determined to find out the truth...
