In a week of returning favorites (DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL II #1, RACHEL RISING FEAR OF DEATH (starring ZOE!), TMNT LAST RONIN TRAINING DAY, GRENDEL DEVIL'S CRUCIBLE SEDITION #1), we're turning our focus to some long-awaited new projects; the debut of JONATHAN HICKMAN's 3W3M (Three Worlds Three Moons) with FOUNDATIONS, and the long, LONG delayed release of Si Spurrier & Mattias Bergara's gorgeous MISCHIEF OF MAGPIES #1! Two books that really push the boundaries of what a comic book can be!
There are 15 NEW #1's this week, and it's easy to overlook many of them, and while we can't highlight them all, here's more detail for 9 of these sweet, sweet new comics!
----------
NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
3W3M FOUNDATIONS #1
Jonathan Hickman, Mike del Mundo, Mike Huddleston, and Nick Spencer team-up for an epic sci-fi saga on an intergalactic scale THREE WORLDS THREE MOONS. Across a distant solar system and countless millennia-long cycles, a war has been fought between the forces of magic and science, and order and chaos. When astronaut and explorer Tajo Vallar undertakes a doomed expedition to a dormant moon full of mysteries, the conflict begins anew, and more dangerous than ever before! A new comic book universe is born.
--------------------
MISCHIEF OF MAGPIES #1
Simon Spurrier and Mattias Bergara's new fantasy masterpiece in the tradition of Coda and Step By Bloody Step! Mar has a secret. Sometimes, without warning, he falls out of the world. This would be an inconvenience if his life wasn't already such a drag. When he's gone, he finds himself in an extraordinary city. A city which is also a machine, endlessly crossing a shoreless ocean...
--------------------
DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL II #1
Monarchs died, kingdoms rose, long-buried treachery came to light, and a League was born when a spaceship crash-landed from a doomed planet. Now an ancient, violent war brews beneath the waves, one that promises untold destruction should it break the surface. If the League hopes to weather it and protect the lands of its realms and beyond, it must first root out the treasonous agents hiding in plain sight amidst its own ranks!
--------------------
TMNT LAST RONIN TRAINING DAY
The training mission you didn't see! Michelangelo only has a short time to get young Casey Marie Jones prepared for battle against Oroku Hiroto. How can the Last Ronin distill a lifetime's worth of training and knowledge into one day? Read the epic tale of action and legacy too big to fit into the pages of the original book, written and drawn by the original Last Ronin team!
--------------------
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG X GODZILLA #1
When the King of the Monsters and other iconic kaiju mysteriously arrive in the Blue Blur's world, the brilliant and evil Dr. Eggman will try to harness the power of the kaiju for his own nefarious goals. Only Sonic and his amazing allies--including Amy, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow--will be able to stand in the villain's way and try to send the giant monsters back to their own world.
--------------------
MINOTAUR #1
From Simon Spurrier and Mike Dowling comes Minotaur, an X-Files for the forward-looking era, with science-fiction ideas ripped from the pages of New Scientist, manifesting among human societies in spooky, unsettling ways. Minotaur is the tale of Gloria Monday, a photojournalist documenting the lives of those, like her, who are haunted, tortured, and transformed by outbreaks of the future; along with the no-nonsense ex-military muscle who watches her six, and the reformed tech bro secretly bankrolling their global mission to expose it all.
--------------------
RACHEL RISING FEAR OF DEATH
10-year-old Zoe witnesses a brutal murder that sets her on a dark path. When the angel of Death arrives to collect the spirits, Lilith attempts to strike a deal but doesn’t get the outcome she hoped for. Vowing revenge she sets a plan in motion that will become the story of Rachel Rising. From the incomparable Terry Moore!
--------------------
PUNISHER VS SPIDER-MAN #1
By Dan Abnett and Matteo Della Fonte. Brought together by happenstance and forced to stay that way by an ally from Frank Castle's past in need, will the web-slinger and the gunslinger be able to begrudgingly set aside their differences before they find themselves at one another's throats?! It's a walk down memory pain!
--------------------
GRENDEL DEVIL'S CRUCIBLE SEDITION #1
The Hounds of Orion have two new weapons in their arsenal: The Grendel Prime himself, back from a five-hundred-year absence, and a clone of the fierce, long-dead Grendel warrior Christine Spar! Now it’s time to take the fight to the Necro-Lords, and the hordes of Anti-Grendel squads between Grendel Prime and his goal of total control. By Matt & Brennan Wagner.
