NEW COMICS & G/N'S MAY 13TH 2015

New Comics and Graphic Novels for New Comics Day Wed 13th May.

As usual we are open until 7pm to give YOU ALL a chance to get a lovely fix of comics.

Well then

 if you found #1 of Secret Wars an incoherent lighting narrative akin to a last minute booking, a chaotic pack and a one way ticket to the great unknown you'll be relieved that #2 is a different species of sequential treacle to pour upon your eyeballs.

Number 2 reads like a Lonely Planet guide to a Game of Thrones / Marvel U mash-up.

This is world building by a pro aided by an elegant pencil and teary tones as if Boris Vallejo had wept upon the page.

In this world 'The Iron Throne' is a MAN (I think) ruling a (seeming) patriarchy leaving only standing room for the ladies who are cursed with an equity minimum of dialogue but...

This was GREAT stuff! 

REALLY great stuff and suddenly all those wonky solicits for inaugural issues to come makes more sense.

Yes there is exposition a plenty that hits you hard but its woven tight within the chat at court.

and yes there is a lot of chat.

 And yes we have seen this 'What If' 'Age of Apocalypse' thang a zillion times before but this feels fresh and teases out a world rich with promise!

 So raise an Iron goblet filled to the Ribic brim to Mr Hickman and sup away!

I'M IN LOVE & ALL IN!

How about you?

Injection #1 Image Comics (W) Warren Ellis (A/CA) Declan Shalvey Once upon a time, there were five crazy people, and they poisoned the 21st Century. Now they have to deal with the corrosion to try and save us all from a world becoming too weird to support human life. INJECTION is the new ongoing series created by the acclaimed creative team of Moon Knight. It is science fiction, tales of horror, strange crime fiction, techno-thriller, and ghost story all at the same time. A serialized sequence of graphic novels about how loud and strange the world is getting, about the wild future and the haunted past all crashing into the present day at once, and about five eccentric geniuses dealing with the paranormal and numinous as well as the growing weight of what they did to the planet with the Injection.
Mantle #1 Image Comics (W) Ed Brisson (A/CA) Brian Level Robbie never asked for any of this. While drunkenly walking home from a punk show, he's hit with lightning and wakes to find that he's been chosen as the new host for The Mantle, a power set of unimaginable scope. Despite his lack of interest, he's forced into action. The Plague, a being who has spent 50 years killing every previous host of The Mantle, is already coming for him.	Mythic #1 Image Comics (W) Phil Hester (A/CA) John McCrea SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE OF $1.99! Science is a lie, an opiate for the masses. The truth is, magic makes the world go 'round. And when magic breaks, MYTHIC fixes it. Apache shaman Waterson, Greek immortal Cassandra, and cell phone salesman Nate Jayadarma are the crack field team assigned with keeping the gears of the supernatural world turning, and more importantly, keeping you from ever knowing about it. Join Eisner nominee PHIL HESTER (Green Arrow, The Coffin) and Eisner winner JOHN McCREA (Hitman, The Boys) on their latest expedition to the dark heart of weird comics.

Lantern City #1 Boom Studios Comics (W) Paul Jenkins (A) Carlos Magno (CA) Benjamin Carre Sander Jorve just wants to keep his wife and son safe. Living in the brutalized lower class of Lantern City means living in near constant darkness, the enormous walls of the city always looming overhead, while the upper class enjoys the elevated, interconnected towers and airships above. When Sander's brother-in-law, the persuasive activist Kendal, convinces him to infiltrate the brutal ranks of the Guard, he's set on a dangerous path that will test his abilities and beliefs, all in the name of making a difference for his family and his caste.
