SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS
IN STORE
9 APRIL 2014


 
So many great new comics this week, where to begin? Oh, how about with one of the most anticipated new series of the year, the weekly - yes, you read that correctly, weekly - ongoing Bat-title, BATMAN ETERNAL! This year long series will tie in to the regular BATMAN storyline written by Scott Snyder, and will feature stories on the entire Batfamily, including the return of fan favourite character Stephanie Brown (hurray!).  
Other exciting debuts this week: popular online cartoonist Noelle Stevenson (aka Gingerhaze) writes the 'Buffy meets Cabin the Woods' mini series LUMBERJANES, and having seen previews online I definitely cannot wait to read this one. Glory-writer Joe Keatinge's new urban fantasy series SHUTTER is also one I'm really looking forward to reading, and I like the look of the new FLASH GORDON series, because there's a definite lack of pulpy science fiction fun on my pull list right now.  But wait, we haven't even mentioned Marvel comics yet! Danny Rand is back in IRON FIST, NIGHTCRAWLER bamfs out of Amazing X-Men and into his own series, little green mutant DOOP gets a miniseries, and Miles Morales leads the newly reformed ULTIMATES. 
Also arriving: the penultimate KICK ASS 3, a stand alone story for COFFIN HILL, special oversized issues for ALL NEW X-MEN and DAREDEVIL, DEADPOOL gets married (!?) and the reprint of sellout DREDD UNDBERBELLY is finally here. 
 What are you looking forward to reading this week? Talk to us @DavesComics!





BOOM
DECEIVERS #4 (OF 6)
LUMBERJANES #1 (OF 8)
WHY WE LOVE IT: Five best friends spending the summer at Lumberjane scout camp...defeating yetis, three-eyed wolves, and giant falcons...what's not to love?!
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: It's Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Gravity Falls and features
five buttkicking, rad teenager girls wailing on monsters and solving a mystery with the
whole world at stake. And with the talent of acclaimed cartoonist Noelle Stevenson and
talented newcomer Grace Ellis writing and Brooke Allen on art, this is going to be a
spectacular series that you won't want to miss.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to
have an awesome summer together...and they're not gonna let any insane quest or an
array of supernatural critters get in their way! Not only is it the second title launching in
our new BOOM! Box imprint but LUMBERJANES is one of those punk rock,
love-everything-about-it stories that appeals to fans of basically all excellent things.
