SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS

22 JANUARY 2014

 Time to rev up your Harley, because here comes everyone's favourite mischief maker,  accompanied by her best partner-in-crime Poison Ivy in HARLEY QUINN #2! 

The big premiere everyone's talking about this week is Rick Remender's new Image series DEADLY CLASS - set in the 1980s, it's a nostalgic look at the perils of being a teenager, made all the more fearsome when you attend a school for criminals and assassins. 

Lots of other great debuts this week as well, with zombie-king George Romero's EMPIRE OF THE DEAD miniseries, all ages antics in SCRIBBLENAUTS UNMASKED and MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDS FOREVER,  Judge Dredd visits California (because why not?) in JUDGE DREDD MEGA CITY TWO, a new Marvel superhero team headlines ALL NEW INVADERS, and the next instalment of my favourite ongoing indie series UNWRITTEN: APOCALYPSE. More choice titles arriving in store: UMBRAL, PRETTY DEADLY, HAWKEYE, WOLVERINE: ORIGIN II, BATMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.

But the jocks are the children of Joseph Stalin's top assassin, the teachers are members of an ancient league of assassins, the class he's failing is "Dismemberment 101," and his crush, a member of the most notorious crime syndicate in Japan, has a double-digit body count.
Welcome to the most brutal high school on Earth, where the world's top crime families send the next generation of assassins to be trained. Murder is an art. Killing is a craft. At King's Dominion High School for the Deadly Arts, the dagger in your back isn't always metaphorical, nor is your fellow classmates' poison.
