SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS
6 NOVEMBER



It's another gigantic week of first issues here at Dave's, so if you're itching to start something new now is definitely the time to come in store. I'm extra excited because one of my favourite Marvel characters, the once-presumed-dead-but-of-course-this-is-comics fuzzy blue elf we know and love as Nightcrawler makes his triumphant return in AMAZING X-MEN #1! Also in the Marvelverse we have the official Beginning of the End of Ultimates, in with the five part mini-series CATACLYSM: ULTIMATES LAST STAND. Occasional member of the X-Men Longshot gets a chance to prove just how lucky he really is in the four part mini LONGSHOT SAVES THE MARVEL UNIVERSE, and cult favourite Painkiller Jane returns in her own four part miniseries PAINKILLER JANE: THE PRICE OF FREEDOM. Heading across the multiverse to DC, there aren't any new series beginning this week, but we do have some of your favourites arriving in store, like BATMAN BLACK AND WHITE #3, SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #4 and FOREVER EVIL #3. There's also a special reprint edition of JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 for just £1, which makes it a great starting point to catch up with this title.  Image comics are having a great week as well, with FATALE #18 (finally!), EAST OF WEST #7, superhero/detective comic PROTECTORS INC #1 and ADAM + ADA #1, an unlikely romance between man and machine.  There's also Gail Simone's all female-created LEGENDS OF RED SONJA miniseries, a brand new REGULAR SHOW series, and a TRANSFORMERS team-up several years in the making. So what are you looking forward to reading this week? Talk to us @DavesComics!

Hundreds are killed and the few desperate survivors are forced to hole up as best they can within the confines of the small rural town. Trapped in a tiny church, two soldiers fresh from the killing fields of Vietnam must do their best to defend a handful of civilians from the oncoming horde of flesh-eating cadavers. While a man named for the devil holds the barricaded sanctuary, a sniper in the belfry above practices his deadly trade, slaying the "disciples" of hell from a hundred yards away.

SOMETHING NEW



NEW GRAPHIC NOVELS

6 NOVEMBER



 We are drowning in excellence this week at Dave's, with far too many exciting graphic novels for your reading pleasure - Batman gets two great releases with DEATH OF THE FAMILY and NIGHT OF THE OWLS, the award winning HAWKEYE has a special hardback collection with bonus material (and would be an excellent gift for anyone on your Christmas list ;-),  all seven issues of Quentin Tarantino's DJANGO UNCHAINED comic arrives in trade,  readers anxious for more Terry Moore stories will enjoy the COMPLETE ECHO collection, and there's even a detailed biography of our very own Wizard of Northhampton, Alan Moore.

47 RONIN GN
 In the 18th-century, forty-seven samurai avenged the death of their master in a plot that would take over two years to complete. After succeeding in their mission, the masterless samurai, known as ronin, all committed ritual suicide. The story, which is a national legend, remains the most potent example of Japan's deeply rooted cultural imperative of honor, persistence, loyalty, and sacrifice. In The 47 Ronin, Sean Michael Wilson has created a historically factual portrait, enhanced by evocative and often lyrical drawings by Akiko Shimojima. This version stands out as being the most accurate and most compelling.

MAGIC WORDS EXTRAORDINARY LIFE OF ALAN MOORE HC 


For over three decades comics fans and creators have regarded Alan Moore as a titan of the form. With works such as V for Vendetta, Watchmen and From Hell, he has repeatedly staked out new territory, attracting literary plaudits and a mainstream audience far removed from his underground origins. His place in popular culture is now such that major Hollywood players vie to adapt his books for cinema. 
Yet Moore's journey from the hippie Arts Labs of the 1970s to the bestseller lists was far from preordained. A principled eccentric, who has lived his whole life in one English town, he has been embroiled in fierce feuds with some of the entertainment industry's biggest corporations.  And just when he could have made millions ploughing a golden rut he turned instead to performance art, writing erotica, and the occult. 
Now, as Alan Moore hits sixty, it's time to go in search of this extraordinary gentleman, and follow the peculiar path taken by a writer quite unlike any other.

When he finally oversteps his bounds, an innocent man pays a terrible price... and the legend of the Green Hornet may be forever tarnished!

TERRY MOORES ECHO COMPLETE ED SC 

After ten years plus working on Strangers in Paradise and winning every award you could in the comics industry, Terry Moore deserved a break. Well, a few months after Katchoo and Francine got to live happily ever after it was time for Terry to bring chaos to yet another woman’s life. Julie Martin is Terry’s newest addition to his group of strong female characters at Abstract Studios.  Julie is in the wrong place at the wrong time and when the fallout from an atmospheric explosion makes her the host for a symbiotic technology well being broke and divorced may not be the worst things in your life.
Through the 30 issues that comprise The Complete Echo, Julie is taken on adventures that cover the physical, metaphysical, religious, and the ever present military-industrial complex. Nothing is ever easy in the life of a Terry Moore creation and the end of the world could be the final chapter or maybe Julie, Dillon, and Ivy (Terry has a thing about triangles; though add Annie and it gets more confusing but more interesting).
Characters develop, change, and learn to survive as the world as they know it changes. Relationships become an important part of this story and those lucky enough to purchase this collection will be glad they didn’t have to wait the three years to read yet another excellent story from Terry Moore.

Most of the universe doubts Thanos' sincerity, but a handful of uneasy allies support him: Adam Warlock, Pip the Troll, Gladiator and Star-Lord. Witness Thanos' cosmic struggle for repentance - but ask yourself, what dire fate awaits the universe if he fails? Collecting THANOS #1-12.
