UPCOMING RELEASES for 12/11/24
Here we are, right in the middle of the Holiday Shopping Season, and the publishers are trying to make you spend all your money on New Comics! So many new #1's! Five more Holiday Specials! A new Batman mini-series (it IS a Wednesday, after all)! Three books from DSTLRY alone (including a new JAMES TYNION IV series!)! THE Ultimate Universe book of the year! More ALIEN comics! And so on.
You know, maybe looking at it as if every comic book publisher is competing for your money is the wrong way to go-- maybe they're actually just trying to give you the best options for your gift-giving!! Sure, that must be it!
Either way, let's get to it!!

NEW BOOKS OF NOTE
----------
CITY BENEATH HER FEET #1
A bloody love letter to New York City, The City Beneath Her Feet is an action/thriller love story for a new generation by lauded creators James Tynion IV and Elsa Charretier. Jasper Jayne was the girl of Zara's dreams, but their brief relationship came and went in such an intense blaze that Zara was left thinking Jasper was just that... a dream. Years later, Zara is thrust back into Jasper's world -- unknowingly listed as her emergency contact, Zara must piece together the mystery of Jasper's life, all while being hunted by the assassins who once called Jasper one of their own.
BATMAN DARK PATTERNS #1
Set during the early years of Batman's career, Batman: Dark Patterns delves into four mysterious cases as he attempts to cement his place as Gotham City's protector while the city itself fights back against him. Case 01: We Are Wounded. A series of sickeningly gruesome murders has sent shock waves through Gotham. Are these the random works of a serial killer, or is there something more sinister at play? Batman attempts to get to the bottom of the mystery before any more victims are claimed.
LAURA KINNEY WOLVERINE #1
LAURA KINNEY was bred to be the ultimate assassin as X-23. She's long left that life behind, but as she encounters mutants being forced to use their powers against their will, WOLVERINE takes it upon herself to right these wrongs - no matter who stands in her way! Dynamic scripter Erica Schultz (HALLOWS' EVE, X-23: DEADLY REGENESIS) and rising-star artist Giada Belviso (BLOOD HUNTERS, MS. MARVEL ANNUAL) bring Wolverine on her first mission abroad in the From the Ashes era, as Laura takes the fight to mutant oppressors wherever they may hide!
DOLL PARTS #1 (LOVESICK)
A twisted new entry in the Lovesick universe from Russ Manning Award winner Luana Vecchio. Twelve-year-old Madeleine dreads the idea of growing up. She fears becoming like the cruel older girls or facing the contempt of her devoutly religious mother. But most of all, she doesn't want to become a target for the monsters that are out there, hiding in plain sight. However, a stomach-churning discovery forces Madeleine to confront the harsh reality that growing up isn't a choice-it's survival. Part coming-of-age and part horror-thriller, Doll Parts is a must-read for both seasoned fans and newcomers to the twisted universe of Lovesick, where youth and innocence are nothing more than meat for the cruel.
ULTIMATE UNIVERSE ONE YEAR IN #1
Deniz Camp flips the narrative on ULTIMATES and takes us inside the Maker's Council! The heroes of the Ultimate Universe aren't the only ones who have been preparing for the return of the Maker, and the clock is ticking down... This unique one-shot sets the stage for the second year of the Ultimate line and includes the debut of the Ultimate versions of two major Marvel characters!
ALIEN PARADISO #1
Welcome to Paradiso, where the money flows like blood and the blood flows like acid! The Tulum of space, Paradiso is a hidden gem among the colonies with its tropical climate, white sand beaches and a remarkable population of hyper-wealthy criminals. When Colonial Marshals Dash Nanda and Lydia Reeves are sent there to bust a smuggling ring, they think they've hit the job-assignment jackpot. But the only ones getting lucky here are those HUNGRY enough to take what they need!
SUPERWOMAN SPECIAL #1
The amazing story of how Daily Planet Editor-in-Chief Lois Lane got superpowers and became Superwoman is finally told. What does it mean for the matriarch of the Super family to fly alongside her family and friends? And how long will these powers last? And who wants these powers for themselves?! Guest starring the Atom, Mister Terrific, Supergirl, and Silver Banshee!
WARM FUSION #1
Scott Hoffman of Scissor Sisters fame teams up with artist Alberto Ponticelli for a sci-fi/horror mystery that pushes the limits of the grotesque. New York City, over two decades into the future, has been devastated by crime, ongoing storms, radiation from a terrorist incident in Times Square and the genetic mutations caused by a life-saving "cure." After a series of murders rip through the city's brothels, an escort named Vin Young, who cosplays as Snow White- and is one of the generation of deformed victims - decides to help find the killer, or killers, responsible.
INFINITY WATCH #1
WHO IS THE MOST POWERFUL? Sorry, Thor. Sorry, Hulk. These are the seven most powerful people in the universe, each wielding one of the embodiments of all power in existence - THE INFINITY STONES. Half of the Stone Bearers are villains, and the other half certainly aren't hall-of-fame heroes, so what does this mean for the Marvel Universe? If Star has anything to say about it, we can start calling it the Star Universe. Can Colleen Wing or Phil Coulson possibly tilt the balance toward good?
