New Comics Day 26th June 2019 - Bringing Home The Bacon

It's a meaty week for new releases, so lets dive right in to the charnel house and see what the big two are throwing out this week...

Lets start with the House of Ideas who certainly are giving us comics fans what we have always wanted... Spider-Man Annual #1 (Jason Latour, Phil Lord), aka Peter Porker: The Spectacular Spider-Ham. Honestly, do you really need any other books this week? ... You do? Oh okay, so how about Wolverine: Exit Wounds #1 (Chris Claremont, Larry Hama, Sam Keith, Salvador Larroca, Scot Eaton) which features a whole bevy of classic Logan creators? If you're after more eight-legged wonder there is Spider-Man: Reptilian Rage #1 (Ralph Macchio, Christopher Allen), and there are bonus points for anyone who can get which villain is returning in this title...! For a longer read why not try Tony Stark: Iron Man vol 2(Dan Slott, Jeremy Whitley, Valerio Schiti) which is also out this week.

If you prefer your Marvel books from a galaxy far, far away there is a veritable smorgasbord for you this week, with Doctor Aphra: Worst Among Equals (Si Spurrier, Emilio Laiso, Caspar Wijngaard) and Star Wars: Age of Republic: Darth Vader #1 (Greg Pak, Ramon Bachs) both hitting shelves, as well as the new novel Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron (Alexander Freed).

Prefer your book a little more DC? Well, the big book of the week is Batman Damned #3 finally getting released (It's about damned time?), but if the mad bat isn't your thing how about some mutton dressed as crazy lamb in the form of Old Lady Harley TP (Frank Tieri, Inaki Miranda, Tom Derenick), or break your teeth on the Man of Steel (Brian Michael Bendis and every artist ever)? Plus there is the new OGN Teen Titans: Raven (Kami Garcia (A/CA) Gabriel Picolo) from the DC Ink imprint.

Ahoy! Comics lead the herd of indies this week with Steel Cage #1 (Mark Waid, Tom Peyer, Stuart Moore, Alan Robinson, Lanna Souvanny, Peter Gross) an anthology piece where the readers gets to choose which story goes to a full series. Absolute comics give us Amped #1 (Brian Augustyn, Pasquale Qualano) while Scout Comics offer up Crucified #1 (Sheldon Allen, Armin Ozdic) in which a hit man has to take out a modern day Messiah. Aspen comics have a special edition of Soulfire vol 1 to go along side Soulfire #1 (J. T. Krul, Raffaele Forte) which kicks off the new, second story arc.

The Weatherman (Jody LeHeup, Nathan Fox) is back for a second volume, and there is a new three part mini-series, End of Your Tether (Adam Smith, Vv Glass) coming out too. Plus IDW have a slew of new titles this week, including Marilyn Manor #1 (Magdalene Visaggio, Marley Zarcone), Transformers / Ghostbusters #1 (Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening), and The Crow: Hack/Slash #1 (Tim Seeley, Jim Terry).

Trade wise we have sci-fi from Relay vol 1 (Zac Thompson, Dalibor Talajic), Fearscape vol 1 (Ryan O'Sullivan, Andrea Mutti), Interceptor vol 1 (Donny Cates, Dylan Burnett) and Wasted Space vol 2 (Michael Moreci, Hayden Sherman).

The funny and fantastical Coda vol 2 (Si Spurrier, Matias Bergara) is also out this week, along with Kim and Kim: Love Is A Battlefield vol 2 (Magdalene Visaggio, Eva Cabrera), and a special print of Metalshark Bro (Bob Frantz, Kevin Cuffe, Walt Ostlie). There there is Monster & Beast (Renji), Courtney Crumrin vol5 (Ted Naifeh), HP Lovecrafts At The Mountains Of Madness (Gou Tanabe) and finally the Aftershock Shock anthology is also back - so something to satisfy every appetite! 

You can see the rest of the week's releases below and let us know if something from the comics menu needs to be on your pull list - See you all in the shop soon & have a great week!
