•Matt Kindt has a great-looking new spy series featuring a spy who doesn’t know he’s a spy! It’s SPY SUPERB!
•Marvel gives us a new SCARLET WITCH series with Sara Pichelli on art! And a Peter David-written JOE FIXIT mini-series!
•DC Comics is business-as-usual with new issues of BATMAN, DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL, POISON IVY and more.
•Image has SPAWN, the very-overlooked KAYA (it’s really good, in an AMULET way), and the almost-over STILLWATER.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
—SPOTLIGHT COMIC—
•SCARLET WITCH 1 (Marvel)
There is a door that appears only to those who need it most, who have no one else in the world to turn to. On the other side of this door is the witchcraft shop. If your need is great and your hope is gone, there you will meet the SCARLET WITCH! Wanda Maximoff is familiar with hitting rock bottom-and now that she's finally found peace, she's pledged all her power to help others who are languishing at their lowest.
—NEW COMICS OF NOTE—
•SPY SUPERB #1 (Dark Horse)
From Matt Kindt! It's John Wick meets Wes Anderson in this mystery-thriller about a secret organization that's developed the perfect spy. Who is the perfect spy? A spy who doesn't even realize they are a spy. Jay is sent on missions without even realizing he's on a mission. Until he picks up the wrong phone with the wrong secret intel and now Russian hit-squads and elite assassins are after him. But Jay believes he was a sleeper agent-and really is the "spy superb". His complete obliviousness and lack of survival skills may be the only thing that saves him in this globe-trotting espionage tale . . . where nothing is what it seems . . . but also . . . kind of actually is what it seems.
•MOSELY #1 (BOOM! Studios)
From Farmhand and CHEW creator Rob Guillory and Sam Lotfi (Harley Quinn), Mosely is a satirical sci-fi blockbuster perfect for fans of God Country and Ghost Cage! In the hyper-technological world of the later 21st century, Mosely is a bitter old janitor on a mission from a higher power-to unleash holy Hell upon the "too big to fail" Tech Gods. Mosely's taking up the Holy Hammer and you better believe he's gonna smash some $h!t until he sets mankind free!
•JOE FIXIT 1 (Marvel)
Peter David's tour de force through some of his greatest Hulk hits continues with a return to JOE FIXIT! Gone are the ripped-up shorts of the Hulk of yore-this enforcer prefers the slick suave of a striped suit, and the Hulk has traded in "monster" for "mobster" as he lends his strength to the Las Vegas casino scene. Of course, the Kingpin has his own ideas about who the toughest guy in town is, and it's up to Spider-Man to keep the two of them from destroying Sin City!
•GANGSTER ASS BARISTA #1 (Black Mask)
Trinity used to live a life of crime, but now she has left behind her old life and works at a coffee shop. Unfortunately, making ends meet isn't easy to do with a minimum wage job. Not to mention the fact that customers are beginning to get on Trinity's nerves, and it's getting harder and harder to not let her old tendencies take control. When Trinity's past comes calling, it's like the famous quote: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"
•CHILDREN O/T BLACK SUN #1 (Ablaze)
From the artist of "House of Slaughter"! Over the years, a black sun has risen twice. A dark dawn whose rays have done terrible things to people's minds, driving them to all sorts of horror. Twelve years have passed since the last time and the world still fears the return of that inexplicable phenomenon. All the women who got pregnant under the influence of the black sun have given birth to babies with some... peculiarities. White hair, ashy skin, abnormal proportions, and eyes as red as fire: the Children of the Black Sun.
•TROJAN #1 (AWA)
When a mysterious young woman, Nessa, enlists the help of a hacker to take a tour of the grisliest corners of the Dark Web, she sets in motion a war between those who peddle to mankind's darkest fantasies and a world that transcends imagination. Trojan is fantasy thriller full of wonder and horror in equal measure.
