SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS
26 MARCH 2014


Your eyes do not deceive you - after months of waiting SANDMAN OVERTURE #2
 is finally here, hurray! I know I'll be wearing one of my Neil Gaiman shirts (but which one? Oh, the trials of being a diehard fan) to celebrate this momentous occasion. 
Overture is just one of the many great releases this week, like SERENITY: LEAVES ON THE WIND, DEADLY CLASS,  and the next installment of sci-fi indie thriller THE BUNKER. We say goodbye to several series: FOREVER EVIL tie-ins ARGUS and ROGUES REBELLION, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT, X-FILES CONSPIRACY, A+X, and the delightful superhero shenanigans of AVENGERS ASSEMBLE. Sniff.  There are stand alone specials for SUICIDE SQUAD and UBER, the conclusion to the Trial of Jean Grey crossover in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, and the end of the first major storyline in MIRACLEMAN. It's almost a shame Overture had to come out this week, because it might be overshadowing some really fantastic debuts: Bryan Hitch's new Hollywood actors-turned actual superheroes series REAL HEROES, the rebirth (or is it?) of the Ultimates in SURVIVE, a street-racing GHOST RIDER (with wicked new artstyle!), Rhodey leaves the Secret Avengers to star in his own series in IRON PATRIOT, and the SILVER SURFER returns, this time accompanied by a human friend to share their intergalactic adventures. We're all very excited for this one, because it looks so good. :)
