SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS

WEDNESDAY 4^TH DECEMBER

It's all about Marvel this week! INFINITY may have officially completed 'changing the landscape of the Marvel Universe forever' but there's no time to relax, because breaking through the chaos of the aftermath (quite literally on that cover) to get some crossover action of their own is INHUMANITY! Don't these poor superheroes deserve a break? Saving the world (again and again) really is a neverending job. Good thing they're so good at it, right? But wait, that's not all the MU has in store for you this week, because Peter Parker returns as the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN! Wait, what? Well, no one really dies in the Marvel Universe. Except when they do. Discover the truth for yourself in issue #700.1! AMAZING X-MEN #2 continues the search for Nightcrawler (so glad to see him back on the shelf!), AVENGERS and HULK have Annuals, and YOUNG AVENGERS nears its conclusion - I can't believe the series is almost over! I am giddy with anticipation and hope you are too.

 FOREVER EVIL #3 is finally out for DC, as those naughty villains continue to terrorize their way across the New 52, BATMAN SUPERMAN's teamup run into trouble (of course), and Vertigo favourites FAIREST, TRILLIUM, and new (and very welcome) kid on the block  HINTERLAND have new issues as well. Indies are having a terrific week as well, with the  return of Sam Kieth's cult 90s series THE MAXX, in a beautifully remastered edition of the original comic, Ed Brubaker's spy thriller VELVET #2, George Lucas' original script version of THE STAR WARS #4, and adorable all ages comic HERO BEAR AND THE KID comes to an end with issue #5. Whew! What are you looking forward to reading this week? :)
