SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS

29 JANUARY 2014

 

 CAN'T STOP THE SIGNAL - THE FIREFLY CREW ARE BACK!

That's right, the big news of the week is the debut of new miniseries 

SERENITY: LEAVES ON THE WIND, and I cannot wait to read it. Serenity is just one of many fantastic titles arriving this Wednesday, including all the Marvel comics that were delayed last week, such as AVENGERS ASSEMBLE, BLACK WIDOW and ALL NEW X-MEN. Speaking of the X-Men, this week sees the beginning of an epic crossover with GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY in 'The Trial of Jean Grey', which looks like a lot of fun. There's also more MIRACLEMAN, REVOLUTIONARY WAR, and the penultimate X-MEN LEGACY. DC has several Annuals on offer, DEAD BOY DETECTIVES, and the conclusion to the popular DAMIAN: SON OF BATMAN miniseries. Lots of terrific indie comics this week, with new SAGA, BLACK SCIENCE, EAST OF WEST, and two specials from all ages favourites ADVENTURE TIME and BRAVEST WARRIORS.
