UPCOMING RELEASES for 08/28/24
Elsewhere in the "show" renowned creator Michael Walsh gives us his take on Universal Monsters FRANKENSTEIN, focusing on the body parts used in creating his monster. Yet another excellent Universal Monsters interpretation from Skybound!
It's also a week of Anniversaries as we get DC's ZERO HOUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1 with all-new story and art from the original Zero Hour creators, TRANSFORMERS #1 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION which is basically a 1984 Transformers #1 Facsimile Edition, and the very weird MARVEL 85TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1 which tells stories of the Marvel Universe from 50,000 years in our future.
TOM KING finally answers THE question that has been plaguing comic fans for decades… Betty or Veronica? That’s right, Tom King writes Archie in ARCHIE THE DECISION!
All that and a flip book written by Brian Azzarello and Stephanie Phillips about a future where criminals are forced to live out multiple life-sentences to full term (LIFE #1), a new Rob Liefeld written and drawn Deadpool series (DEADPOOL TEAM-UP), a look at Moon Knights past (PHASES OF MOON KNIGHT), the epic team-up of Barbaric and Deathstalker (BARBARIC VS DEATHSTALKER), and a new John Arcudi-written Image series (CONVERT)! You know you don't want to miss ANY of these hot New Releases!!
*That is literally the entire description for this week's Saga #68.
**This is a line from the Aliens Vs Avengers solicit that we chose to remove, because we have no idea what the "it" is that did the leading.
ALIENS VS AVENGERS #1
Xenomorphs reach Earth! The perfect organism meets a planet of superhumans. Who will be first to fall? Legendary collaborators Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic cut loose in this four-part epic unmissable for Marvel and Alien fans alike!
FRANKENSTEIN #1
Award-winning creator Michael Walsh (The Silver Coin) presents an electrifying new vision of the horror classic. Dr. Henry Frankenstein begins his unholy quest to create life by robbing the grave of a decorated police officer. But little does he know that the corpse has a son who is mourning a father-and that this young boy will forever change Frankenstein's life.
ARCHIE THE DECISION
Archie. Finally. Decides. Who will Archie choose? Betty or Veronica? Written by Eisner Award-winning comics scribe TOM KING and illustrated by Archie legend DAN PARENT. Everyone in Riverdale is waiting for his choice, and all of your favorites, from Josie & The Pussycats to Sabrina the Teenage Witch (and even Hot Dog!), are joining in the fun.
LIFE #1
By Brian Azzarello, Stephanie Phillips and Danijel Zezelj. In the future, covert experiments have forced criminals with multiple life sentences to live all their time to full term. Each issue of "LIFE" is a flip book, housing one story from two different perspectives. A prison break and a heist both offer interlocking narratives, creating an immersive experience that will challenge your perceptions of justice while begging the immortal question: Who really wants to live forever?
TRANSFORMERS #1 40TH ANN ED
Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the TRANSFORMERS with a new printing of the comic book that started it all! The Autobots and Decepticons have brought their conflict to Earth-and the world will never be the same again! This issue will be printed on newsprint and will feature an all-new variant cover celebrating the history of the TRANSFORMERS!
ZERO HOUR 30TH ANN SP #1
30 years ago, in the famed EMERALD TWILIGHT storyline, Hal Jordan became PARALLAX in the wake of Coast City being annihilated. Luckily, the heroes prevailed...or so we thought. Green Lantern Kyle Rayner is about to discover Hal and his vision have survived, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to make sure their world prevails!
MARVEL 85TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1
In the far future of the year 50,000, the exploits of the heroes of the Marvel Age are the stuff of legend, half remembered but still celebrated! Come with us now on a tour of the greatest museum in all the cosmos, in which the few surviving relics of those bygone days have been assembled!
PHASES OF MOON KNIGHT #1
PHASES OF THE MOON KNIGHT begins with a story of the Moon Knight you know as he enacts his unique and violent vision of justice! PLUS! An all-new Moon Knight from the Marvel Universe's ancient past: the Moon Knight of the Old Crusades! Forged in the crucible of a holy war, what long-forgotten secrets of the Marvel Universe are waiting to be discovered in his saga?!
BARBARIC VS DEATHSTALKER
Cursed barbarian versus warrior king! Axe versus sword! Owen versus Deathstalker! When an evil wizard summons the two most reluctant heroes of all time, they'll have to square off. But a clash of steel alone may not decide the final victor.
CHASM CURSE OF KAINE #1
BATTLE OF THE CLONES! Kaine Parker is on a mission to track down his fellow clone Ben Reilly. But has becoming Chasm made Ben beyond saving? Or is there an even more menacing presence pulling his strings?
CONVERT #1
Science Officer Orrin Kutela finds himself stranded on a distant planet, starving and haunted by the ghosts of his dead crew. On the verge of death, he makes an astonishing discovery. By veteran writer John Arcudi (Rumble, B.P.R.D.) and illustrator Savanna Finley.
DEADPOOL TEAM-UP #1
When you need some hired hands, DEADPOOL is your man! But when the Merc with a Mouth needs assistance, he's got friends (and frenemies) from across the Marvel Universe! Rob Liefeld weaves an epic tale bringing Wade Wilson together with MAJOR X, CRYSTAR, GHOST-SPIDER, WOLVERINE and the INCREDIBLE HULK for the first time!
