New Comics Day 30th May 2018 - It's Steel May....

So usually the fifth release week of the month gets filled with a few extra titles they forgot to release in previous weeks.. This funny fifth though, is funny because it is probably the biggest release week of the year so far!

Bendis releases his first full work since his recent move from Marvel to DC with Man Of Steel #1 - a weekly 6 issue series leading into his takeover of the Super-Franchise - We are pulling this for all Superman subs but let us know if you would like to see what Bendis is doing at DC!

The Batcatmanwoman wedding preparations continue and Damian Wayne gets a visit from his Granpa Ghul in Prelude to the wedding Robin Vs Ra Al Ghul #1

DC also deliver #5 of Doomsday Clock - a somewhat delayed book but now hopefully back on track with a bi-monthly schedule in place. Lucky it has been worth the wait so far!

Marvel counter with the Amazing Spider-man #800 - The final issue of Dan Slott's mammoth run on the title

2021 Lost Children #1 is the latest title from Statix Press who have been giving us some excellent European titles in recent months - Four children with super powers take on a madman running Detroit - However, they age prematurely with each use of their powers....

DC have a new series of crossovers and frankly you need to read the descriptions because they are nuts... Aquaman and JabberJaws, Black Lightning and Hong Kong Phooey, Flash and Speed Buggy, Super Sons & Dynomutt all hit this week!

Lando Double or Nothing #1 adds to the Solo story and gives us more reasons to appreciate his cloak collection ;)

Blackwood #1 is possibly one for Potter fans with a murder mystery set in a Sorcery school from Evan Dorkin & Veronica Fish

Dark Souls: The Age Of Fire #1 returns us to the very beginning of the Dark Souls story with a dramatic retelling of the legends of Gwyn - Lord of Cinder and Knight Artorias

Dredd fans get an extra dose this week as not only is the regular 2000AD out but IDW are also starting the Under Siege mini series - Patrick Swayze block is taken over by a mutant assault!

Last Siege #1 from Image is spaghetti western storytelling meets Game of Thrones atmosphere in this gritty medieval war story

A new MLP title begins with Ponyville Mysteries #1 - Welcome to a new series of mystery and intrigue! The Cutie Mark Crusaders discover their inner detectives and solve crimes nopony else can.

Hit Aftershock title Pestilence returns for a new 6 issue arc with the aftermath of the Zombie Black Plague still simmering away and the church still trying to hide it's role in the original outbreak.

Add in a smattering on Annuals and one-shots and as I said it's a crazy week for releases! check out the full list in the main post and revel in the joy of so many great books!

See you all in the shop soon & have a great week!

Owen & Aaron and the rest of the team
