NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN #1
After the fall of Krakoa, Kate Pryde is trying to get as far away from all things X as she possibly can. She's just a regular bartender now. Definitely NOT getting ready to head up an ALL-NEW TEAM of wayward young mutants while avoiding the watchful gaze of Emma Frost. Nothing in this title but work, dating and staving off depression. That's it. No never-before-seen EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN to see here!
PLASTIC MAN NO MORE #1
HARD BOILED PLASTIC MAN NOIR FROM EISNER-NOMINATED WRITER CHRISTOPHER CANTWELL AND ARTIST ALEX LINS! When an incident on a Justice League mission leads to catastrophic cellular damage, Plastic Man discovers he just might be out of time to make amends for the past he's tried hard to outrun--or to save the soul of his son, who (unfortunately for him) might have inherited more from dear old Dad than just his superpowers...
MINOR ARCANA #1
Theresa, the daughter of a small-town "psychic" fraud, returns home to care for her ailing mother, however begrudgingly. But when Theresa discovers that there may be more to the magic than she originally believed, she'll find herself caught up in a town that desperately needs her help... Written and drawn by JEFF LEMIRE.
AUTUMN KINGDOM #1
In the borderlands between imagination and reality, horror and fantasy, master storyteller Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Harrow County) and visionary artist Christopher Mitten (Hellboy & the B.P.R.D.) begin one family's labyrinthine descent through a perilous forest where the local folklore is anything but a myth...
DUCK AND COVER #1
By Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque. A manga-influenced teen adventure set in the strange post-apocalyptic America... of 1955. From the team behind the seminal Vertigo series American Vampire!
TRINITY SPECIAL WORLDS FINEST #1
The daughter of Wonder Woman and the Super Sons return for more stories filled with laughs, action and awe-inspiring adventure. Can Lizzie survive Darkseid and his terrifying math? Will an innocent trip to the past for homework change the future? Are Damian and Jon's barks worse than their bite? Find out in this collection of the latest back-up stories from the hit WONDER WOMAN series! (If you already subscribe to Wonder Woman, you already have these stories)
MARVEL ZOMBIES DAWN OF DECAY #1
Groot is sick and an ill-timed sneeze in Captain America's face has unforeseeable consequences! Suddenly, Groot is being attacked by a horde of zombified Avengers, and only he and Hulk remain impervious. Now it's up to these two heroes to team up and fight their way through a blighted New York City to Banner's lab in Avengers Tower to find a cure before it's too late
CONAN BARBARIAN BATTLE BLACKSTONE #1
An unspeakable evil looms over the Hyborian Age and every age connected to it... and it will take more than a lone barbarian to stop its relentless march upon time, space, and sanity.
STAR WARS ACOLYTE KELNACCA #1
CAVAN SCOTT and MARIKA CRESTA bring the action as Wookiee Jedi Kelnacca steps into the pages of his own issue! Delve deep into the history of Kelnacca and the world of the High Republic in this bombastic one-shot!
LADY MECHANIKA DEVIL IN LAKE #1
An all-new story featuring artist Siya Oum (Lola XOXO, Fathom)! Lady Mechanika tries to escape disturbing revelations from her past by running off to Siberia on a dangerous hunt for an alleged dragon living in the depths of an ancient lake.
