SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS

11 DECEMBER

There is a veritable deluge of new comics this week, aren't we all lucky :D 

Just in time for the holidays we have a host of brand new series to try:  from the far future excitement of JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000,  to popular media tie-ins SMALLVILLE and HALO,  classic adventures with DOC SAVAGE and HONEY WEST,  atypical superhero and supernatural stories INDESTRUCTIBLE and LUNITA, even WWE wrestling! And as we begin many series anew, some recent favourites come to an end - Adventure Time's CANDY CAPERS finally solve all their mysteries, DANGER GIRL ends her chase, GODLAND says goodbye, and the ROCKETEER SPIRIT miniseries enjoys a satisfyingly pulpy finale. There's also the new SATELLITE SAM you've been waiting for, ASTRO CITY begins a new storyarc (a perfect place to begin reading!) , lots of FOREVER EVIL action at DC, and Marvel tempts you with CATACLYSM and INHUMANITY event crossovers to keep you entertained.
