SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS

12 FEBRUARY 2014

Attention KICK-ASS fans, this is your week - at long last, it's the origin of Hit-Girl! 
It's also a week for fantastic debuts, with THE FUSE, a gritty crime drama from the creator of Umbral, set on a rather dilapidated space station, historical superhero adventure THE ROYALS,  cyberpunk CITY IN THE MACHINE, historical adventure THE MERCENARY SEA, a brand new team for X-FORCE, and in what is surely a SHIELD mandated reminder that there's a new film coming out WINTER SOLDIER returns for a spy thriller series set in the 1960s. My favourite premiere 
however is the new SHE-HULK - internet buzz is promising a delightfully fun read, 
and I can't wait to find out of it's true. 

This week's BATMAN is a special preview of the upcoming weekly Batman Eternal series,  SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN begins its final story arc, FATALE begins a new storyline, and those who missed out on DC's Villain's Month can now own the complete set of 3D 'motion' covers in a special box set collection. What are you looking forward to reading this week? Talk to us @DavesComics!
