And that’s just one comic! We have the utmost confidence in you that you’ll find even more comical-book goodness from the list below!
—CHALLENGERS CHOICE—
THE CULL #1 (Image)
Eisner-winning writer KELLY THOMPSON (BLACK CLOAK) and superstar artist MATTIA DE IULIS team up! Something is Killing the Children horror vibes mix with The Goonies-style adventure as five friends set off to shoot a short film on a forbidden rock near their home the summer before they all go their separate ways. But that's not really why they're there. One of them has lied. And that lie will change their lives forever. GORGEOUS book! RECOMMENDED!
—SPOTLIGHT COMICS—
MADNESS #1 (AWA)
By J. Michael Straczynski and ACO! Sarah Ross was a super-powered thief. Until the day she stole from the wrong person, a highly placed official who pressures the government to assassinate her. The plot, aided by so-called "good" superheroes sponsored by the government, misses her but wipes out her family. Driven mad by grief, Sarah and a hidden side of her personality - an imaginary friend who may be more real than she believes - goes after these superpowered operatives determined to take her revenge, at any cost. Patrick really likes this one!
UNCANNY AVENGERS 1 (Marvel)
The FALL OF X calls for the return of the Avengers' Unity Squad! Innocent people and world leaders are dead after simultaneous attacks on the U.S. and Krakoan governments, and that means one thing: It's time for a new squad of Avengers. False-flag attacks meant to whip up anti-mutant hysteria are unfolding, and hey, some of Steve Rogers' best friends are mutants. Your new unity squad is: Captain America, Rogue, Deadpool, Quicksilver, Psylocke and Monet!
ALPHA FLIGHT 1 (Marvel)
SAVING CANADA... FROM THE MUTANT MENACE?! GUARDIAN, PUCK, SNOWBIRD and SHAMAN return, as a terrestrial ALPHA FLIGHT bursts onto the scene! But what schism will pit these heroes against their former teammates AURORA, NORTHSTAR and NEMESIS, as well as Aurora's beau, FANG? The FALL OF X has changed the game, and will Alpha Flight soar to new heights-or be crushed under the weight of an impossible mission?
BATTLE ACTION #1 (Rebellion)
Battle Action returns with an all-new mini-series of war stories. This first issue sees the return of Johnny Red and his Falcon Squadron hunting down German raiders, written by Garth Ennis with art by Keith Burns. Also included is a newly-penned HMS Nightshade story by John Wagner, a tale focusing on the bonds of friendship forged during naval battles, drawn by Dan Cornwell. Future issues will feature stories by Torunn Grønbekk, Chris Burnham, Rob Williams, Dan Abnett, and more.
DISNEY VILLAINS HADES #1 (Dynamite)
Hades - the lord of darkness! The most deceitful and scheming of the Greek gods! The one god not invited to the weekly brunch at Mount Olympus! Obviously, a slight like this calls for the total destruction of the gods of Olympus.
IRON MAN ANNUAL 1 (Marvel)
CONTEST OF CHAOS! When the forces of chaos move upon our heroes, the past, present and future come crashing in on them - and only one can emerge victorious! The might of human ingenuity versus the power of the natural universe: IRON MAN VS STORM!
PENGUIN #0 (DC)
BY CHIP ZDARSKY AND BELEN ORTEGA! Following the Penguin's death in the landmark Batman #125, the mysterious Executor has enlisted Catwoman to carry out the departed's last wishes and track down his next of kin. But when the Penguin's heirs start getting murdered, Catwoman will have to find the killer and discover what truly became of Oswald Cobblepot. Collects the Batman #125-127 backup stories and leads into next month's TOM KING Penguin ongoing series!
TMNT SPLINTERED FATE (IDW)
When Splinter is kidnapped, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles search for clues across NYC to try to find their master. With all signs pointing to the nefarious Foot Clan, April and Metalhead analyze artifacts recovered by the brothers to help zero in on where Splinter is being held. However, as the gang gets ever closer to Splinter's location, they start to uncover an even greater threat working from the shadows!
WHAT IF...? DARK MOON KNIGHT 1 (Marvel)
What if Moon Knight did not survive his battle with Bushman? When Khonshu's avatar is slain, a different god empowers their own surprising new champion. From the darkness, emerges a new force to light the way - Luminary! But will her quest for revenge against Moon Knight's killer result in her own downfall?
DARK X-MEN 1 (Marvel)
WELCOME TO THE DARK X-MEN? HOPE THE WORLD SURVIVES THE EXPERIENCE! Following the explosive events of the Hellfire Gala, MADELYNE PRYOR realizes the world needs the X-Men now more than ever. HAVOK and GAMBIT have served on the team before... but never one that looks like this! And how does GIMMICK, breakout star of MARVEL'S VOICES: PRIDE, fall under the Goblin Queen's sway? Find out in the most horrific installment of the X-Men saga yet!
