SOMETHING NEW

NEW GRAPHIC NOVELS

AND

COLLECTED EDITIONS

WEDNESDAY 9^TH OCTOBER

What a stellar week for new graphic novels - for superhero fans there are new Batman and Thor trades, as well as Warren Ellis' Storm mini-series and the lead up to Marvel's Infinity event, Thanos Rising. Horror enthusiasts are sure to enjoy Colder (just look at that cover! so creepy), and Stephen King's popular Dark Tower graphic novel adaptation.  Readers wanting to begin a new series are spoiled for choice this week - Eisner-award winning Lazarus is my first choice, and I'm intrigued by the rather ridiculous looking God Hates Astronauts. The first My Little Pony collection is also now in paperback, so fervent Bronies as well as new fans can read about the antics of their friends in Equestria. Manga fans have a beautiful new omnibus edition of the classic series Trigun and a previously unavailable series from Astroboy creator and manga innovator Osamu Tezuka.  

That's enough chatter, on to the comics!

GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS TP VOL 01 

 GOD HATES ASTRONAUTS follows the story of a group of incompetent, small-minded, super powered narcissists called "The Power Persons Five" who are hired by NASA to stop all farmers from launching themselves into space in homemade rocket ships. Unfortunately for NASA, this goal is scarcely even addressed and the book focuses more on extramarital affairs, bank-robbing owls, big gross swollen heads, ghost cow heads, olde tyme boxers, tigers eating cheeseburgers in the Crab Nebula, buffalo judges and tons of aggressive swearing. Not so much a superhero book as it is a parody of basically everything and a celebration of weird that is jam-packed with references to RoboCop and Die Hard.
"I don't want to oversell what Ryan has accomplished here, but I gave God Hates Astronauts to a blind man and he regained his sight." - Jonathan Hickman (EAST OF WEST, The Manhattan Projects, The Avengers)
