UPCOMING RELEASES FOR 11/13/24
We now live in a world where "Absolute" and "Ultimate" are regular, weekly occurrences, and the comics industry is better for it! The excitement surrounding these two separate universes is refreshing and, frankly, well-needed! And with that in mind, this week brings us ABSOLUTE BATMAN #2 and ULTIMATE X-MEN #9! As you know, ABSOLUTE BATMAN has been a HUGE comic, both in content and sales, and who doesn't love Peach Momoko's take on the X-Men?
Not to be left out, Image/Skybound's Energon Universe presents "The biggest comic book launch of the decade!" with GI JOE #1, picking up where the DUKE series left off!
As always, there's plenty more wonderful comic book goodness also available this week, so let's get to it!

NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
ABSOLUTE BATMAN #2
SNYDER AND DRAGOTTA'S BRAND-NEW TAKE ON THE DARK KNIGHT RAMPAGES ON! Batman was born out of violence - a horrible tragedy that shaped the trajectory of his future. But when a vigilant MI6 agent starts tracking the lonely life of Bruce Wayne, he discovers the interconnectivity between a hero's shell life and the many layers of the Black Mask Gang. It's Batman versus Alfred Pennyworth!
GI JOE #1
Conrad Hauser, Codename DUKE, has assembled a special force known as G.I. Joe to battle the rising power of the mysterious COBRA in the aftermath of the Autobots and Decepticons' arrival on Earth. But the enigmatic Cobra Commander has unleashed the power of Energon like never before! Featuring many familiar faces and the first appearance of an all new character, this is the comic that will change everything you think you know about G.I. Joe!
PSYLOCKE #1
Trained to be an assassin since birth, Kwannon chose to be an X-Man. But there are still some jobs too dirty for the X-Men. And some paths have to be walked alone. When the mission is brutal, Psylocke unsheathes her blades to punish those who prey on mutants. Exploding out of the pages of X-MEN, Alyssa Wong and Vincenzo Carratù take Psylocke into the underbelly of the Marvel Universe, carving out her own place in a world that would rather see her under control!
BLACK HAMMER SPIRAL CITY #1
From the ashes of Black Hammer: The End comes a new era and a brand-new cast of heroes struggling to survive in a chaotic new world set to destroy them. A bold new vision for the Black Hammer Universe by series creator Jeff Lemire and legendary artist Teddy Kristiansen (The Sandman).
CALAVERA PI #1
In 1925, Juan Calavera died a hero. Now, five years later, on Dia de los Muertos, his restless spirit has been summoned from the grave to help a desperate former colleague unravel a kidnapping all too close to home. With only days to solve the case before he is called back to the underworld, can Calavera reveal the identity of the masked human trafficker known as La Fantasma and solve the mystery of his own murder in the process?
STAR TREK LOWER DECKS #1
Ryan North and Derek Charm are kicking off a brand-new ongoing series that's a big fun adventure on a big fun ship, wherein Mariner gets so totally frustrated with the lack of thrills aboard the Cerritos that she drags her friends into a holodeck adventure that would definitely kill them in reality! Should totally provide them all with a sense of purpose and well-being, right? Right. Or at least it would have...
TRANSFORMERS VOL 02
The new era for The Transformers continues! The Decepticons make violent decisions about their future, bringing them face to face with Shockwave and his shocking plans that will change their war with the Autobots forever. Now Optimus Prime must rally his allies on Earth and Cybertron, but he's about to find out that not everyone believes he is the right leader to save both worlds... Jorge Corona joins Daniel Warren Johnson to begin the Energon Universe story that will have everyone talking! Collects Transformers #7-12.
BLACK LIGHTNING #1
Jefferson Pierce leads the Justice League's new metahuman outreach initiative, helping those with powers before they can cause harm to themselves or others--but everything changes when its his own daughter, Anissa Pierce, who comes to him for help. With Thunder's dangerous new powers and the new Masters of Disaster jeopardizing the coexistence between humans and Metas, Black Lightning is on the front lines of a culture war brewing in the suburbs of Metropolis!
POWER RANGERS PRIME #1
Prepare yourself for PRIME: a bold new era featuring a brand-new cast of characters, excitement, and attitude! Angel Grove University students face a difficult choice after crossing paths with a fugitive straight out of legend. The consequences for hiding her are dire... but her existence may not stay a secret for long. Groundbreaking Power Rangers writer Melissa Flores ushers the iconic Rangers Mythos into the next era of adventure!
ARCBOUND #1
Scott Snyder, Frank Tieri and artist Ryan Smallman with contributions by Venom himself, Tom Hardy, bring you a bold new sci-fi saga! When Kai, a rising star Mediator in Zynitec's army, gets an unexplained message from a mysterious entity, everything he thinks he believes is thrown into question-and leaves him to explore what it truly means to be human in a world where the boundaries of technology and identity blur.
