SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS

5 FEBRUARY 2014

 

It's a terrific week for comics from every publisher, but I'm afraid Marvel is beating everyone handily with their All New Marvel Now initiative, with three fantastic new series debuts as well as new storylines in ongoing titles to keep everyone entertained and coming back for more. I'm so excited read the new LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD, which you may have seen all over the internet lately, and features Kid-no-more Loki acting as a secret agent on behalf of the All Mother, Ruler of Asgard, which should give him plenty of ways to get up to every sort of mischief while doing bad deeds done for good reasons. Looks like great fun! 

Also making her highly publicized debut this week is MS MARVEL, starring new teenage superhero Kamala Khan; written by award winning author G Willow Wilson I'm hoping this new series will be a welcoming entrance to comics for new readers as well as a treat for long time superhero fans like me. And Frank Castle fans will be pleased to know PUNISHER #1 arrives this week,  as he moves his base of operations from NYC to corrupt California. As well as these new NOW titles Marvel is 'rebooting' Paul Cornell's excellent WOLVERINE and Brian Wood's X-MEN at #1, and new BLACK WIDOW, ALL NEW INVADERS, MIGHTY AVENGERS and the conclusion to MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN.  Not to be outdone by Marvel, DC has for you this week a special one-shot devoted to the mysterious JOKER'S DAUGHTER, the conclusion to the popular miniseries BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE, new GOTHTOPIA tie-ins with DETECTIVE COMICS and BATWING, and both TRILLIUM and FOREVER EVIL head towards their epic finales! We also have the long awaited new issue of LAZARUS, GOD IS DEAD, THE STAR WARS, and ADVENTURE TIME: THE FLIP SIDE. Whew! So much good stuff this week, what are you looking forward to reading?
