SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS

28 MAY 2014

Two exciting science fiction debuts for your viewing pleasure arrive this week - the highly anticipated new series from Warren Ellis TREES, and clockpunk miniseries BRASS SUN - both of which look fantastic and I cannot wait to read them.  Also premiering: the trials and tribulations of being a superhero in C.O.W.L, the perils of being ORDINARY in a world of superheroes, and quirky horror in NIGHTBREED and DOCTOR SPEKTOR. There's also a special stand alone double issue featuring the characters of CHEW and REVIVAL, annuals for DOC SAVAGE and THANOS, and the final issues of SUICIDE SQUAD, ROVER RED CHARLIE, DEAD BODY ROAD, STAR WARS LUCAS DRAFT, and NIGHTWING! (Don't worry, he'll back in a few months in a brand new series ;-). We also have DEADLY CLASS, JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK, DEADPOOL, MS MARVEL, INHUMANS, SECRET ORIGINS and SOUTHERN BASTARDS.   

AVATAR
CROSSED #54
GOD IS DEAD #13
ROVER RED CHARLIE #6 (OF 6)

The FINAL issue is a super-sized concluding chapter to the story of Rover, Red, and Charlie.  The boys made it from New York to the big splash, but things are far from good.  Herman is back for vengeance and as the world falls down around them, these three canine best friends must face his wrath.  And even the bonds of friendship can't stop the inevitability of the long sleep.  GARTH ENNIS delivers three of his most beloved characters to the end of the world and tells a gripping story through the innocent eyes of dogs.
 
BOOM
BRAVEST WARRIORS #20
CLIVE BARKERS NIGHTBREED #1

WHY WE LOVE IT: Comics are full of outcast characters, but this is an outcast story, Clive Barker-style. True to this modern horror master's other work, NIGHTBREED is full of
horrifying creatures that captivated us in the cult film and live on in this new story.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Before FABLES, before ONCE UPON A TIME, Clive Barker
created a secret town of monsters that live among us. Don't worry if you've never seen
the film-Barker and writer Marc Andreyko (BATWOMAN, MANHUNTER) have crafted
a story that all horror fans can enjoy. Add to the mix Piotr Kowalski's art (MARVEL
KNIGHTS: HULK, SEX) and you can't miss this.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: The Nightbreed is a secret society of monsters and misfits that
hide away from humans, but have been a part of this world since time immemorial. This
series will explore both the past and the present of this clandestine tribe, unleashing new
secrets and horrors as they fight to coexist with mankind.
