SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS

21 MAY 2014

Good news DC fans! The conclusion to FOREVER EVIL finally arrives this week, so if you were waiting for the event to finish to avoid any spoilers in the other New 52 titles your patience will be rewarded at last. It's about time, right? The new event FUTURE'S END already started! (Issue #3 is out Weds.) I'm sure however it'll be worth the wait.  Speaking of events, ORIGINAL SIN continues to devastate the Marvel Universe as the Avengers search for a murderer, with even more long held secrets being revealed - who's turn to despair (or at least cringe with embarrassment) will be it be this week?
Debuting this week we have another entry into the Millarworld Universe, modern urban miniseries MPH, bizarro comedy AXE COP: THE AMERICAN CHOPPERS,  a new STAR WARS series featuring Darth Maul (coooool), and a Howard Chaykin penned miniseries for THE SHADOW. Also in store this week: BPRD, HARLEY QUINN, POWERS BUREAU, VELVET, ADVENTURE TIME, ELEKTRA, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, JUSTICE LEAGUE, DEADPOOL ANNUAL, and oh yeah, a little series called SAGA comes off hiatus, hurray!
What are you looking forward to reading this week? Talk to us @DavesComics :D 

BOOM
ADVENTURE TIME #28

With one answer, there is always a million questions. Finn and Jake find
themselves out of one problem and into another. It looks like it's going to be a race
to the finish as our heroes discover what it really means to be a friend, and learn
something about themselves along the way.

LAST BROADCAST #1

WHY WE LOVE IT: Ever wonder what's behind that "No Trespassing" sign? We do!
Co-creators André Sirangelo and Gabriel Iumazark takes us deep into the renegade world
of urbEx (urban exploration). Throw in a decades-old conspiracy involving vaudeville
magicians and occult spiritualists and you've got us hooked.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: The cunning, daredevil urbEx members of Backbone will win you
over as the ragtag, Ocean's Eleven-style crew of the sewers and abandoned warehouses.
Iumazark's Brazilian/Japanese fusion indie art style brings edgy energy to every dark
corner. And fans of THIEF OF THIEVES and the film NOW YOU SEE ME will find
comparisons to entice them.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: An urban spelunking group in San Francisco discovers a secret
bunker belonging to the long-vanished 1930s stage magician Blackhall the Incredible at
the same time as young, out-of-work magician Ivan receives a mysterious package that
points him toward a possible conspiracy involving Blackhall's death in 1934. Both groups
dive into the mystery, not yet realizing that it's about the change their lives forever.
