UPCOMING RELEASES for 05/29/24
Starting PRIDE MONTH out strong, both Marvel and DC have their 2024 Pride Specials available this week!
Also, Brian Poshen and Rick Remender bring us an authentic look at 80s skate culture with GROMMETS #1, and Mark Russell shows what life would be like ruled by social media in DEATH RATIO'D!
Oh, and Hellverine returns. You know, the Ghost Rider/Wolverine mash-up? We’ve already done Weapon H (Hulk/Wolverine), so why not a Ghost Rider one? Personally, we’re holding out for the Unbeatable Squirrelverine. “She’s the best there is at what she does, and what she does is NUTS!” (Squirrelverine © & TM 2024 W. Dal Bush)
I guess there is more to talk about but we’re going to end on The Squirrelverine. She’s just too good to follow!
And now we’re sorry she is not in any of this week’s books.
But there are still plenty of great books to own (even if they are squirrel-less...)

X-MEN WEDDING SPECIAL #1
This year, Marvel's Voices: Pride makes history with Marvel's first woman-to-woman wedding! And with a couple as complex as these two, you know there's a lot more to the story. We promise party crashing! Villainy! Romance! This anthology will be a must-read for every comics fan. 
DC PRIDE 2024 #1
A comic celebrating how the LGBTQIA+ community is everywhere and belongs anywhere--even the very furthest reaches of the universe. Dreamer makes a first-time pilgrimage to her ancestral planet, Naltor! Poison Ivy and Janet from HR go spore-hunting on Portworld! Superman gets the boys together for a night out in A-Town! Steel works up the courage to face Traci 13 at the Oblivion Bar's Pride party for the first time since they broke up! Aquaman catches an unexpected ride to the Fourth World just in time for their annual Love Festival! 
GROMMETS #1
Written by Brian Posehn and Rick Remender! Two best-friend outcasts navigate the Sacramento suburbs of 1984, where they find a home in skateboard culture and punk rock. On one side of the coin, GROMMETS is an authentic look at 80s skate culture, a snapshot of the generation that turned skating into a worldwide phenomenon. On the other, it's a heartfelt coming-of-age story that follows two friends from troubled homes as they navigate their damage in an era when no one cared.
DEATH RATIO'D
In this futuristic dark comedy by Eisner and 'Ringo Award-winning writer Mark Russell, life and death are ruled by social media. Enough "likes" and "upvotes" can unlock fame and fortune but - watch your step! - enough "thumbs down" clicks and the collar around your neck explodes. And you're done. 
HELLVERINE #1
When a DEMONIC FORCE known as BAGRA-GHUL first came to earth, it brought LOGAN and GHOST RIDER together to hunt it before it possessed WOLVERINE. But now, in the present day, what event will put the Hellverine back on the streets...and is he slashing his hellfire claws for good or evil? And, introducing the ALL-NEW HELLFIRE WARRIORS! Don't miss the launch of the all-new series, brought to you by Hellverine co-creator Benjamin Percy (WOLVERINE, GHOST RIDER) and blazing hot talent Julius Ohta (ALIEN, VENOM)!
WILLIAM OF NEWBURY #1
From Michael Avon Oeming comes this brand-new anthropomorphic supernatural series that's Hellboy meets Redwall. It's 12th century England during what was known as "The Anarchy." A time where the country was beset with plague, civil war, and demons. William of Newbury is a neurotic monk, fearful of the earthly world, but confident and unwavering in the face of true evil. He fights the dead to restore peace, but his brother is intent on stopping him, fearing for his soul.
