If this series is going to poke fun at the incessant stream of relaunches and reboots in comic books, I’ll bite. “NEW ONGOING SERIES. ‘TPTB,’ Part One-The reboot of a comic book miniseries that has never existed begins with an all-new, all-different issue #1. Time to travel back and jump in on this comic while it was new.”
This new martial arts series has some fantastic elements, but has lots of entertainment potential. “NEW SERIES. Fu Jitsu is the world’s smartest boy, and has been for the last hundred years. Wait, what? Fu is an un-aging genius, and has had adventures around the globe and around the galaxy. From Einstein and the Wright brothers, to Gandhi and Johnny Unitas, Fu has met everyone in history while protecting Earth from Robert Wadlow, the world’s tallest man, and his dangerous magi-science. Fu exiles himself to Antarctica to try and forget the painful break up with his ex-girlfriend, Rachel. Meanwhile, Wadlow returns from the far-flung future and sends James Dean, his ultimate assassin, to kill Fu at the South Pole. And […]
Garth Ennis writes a mini-series for DC set in the Hanna-Barbera Universe. Think there’ll be plenty of biting satire? Oh, double yeah. “It’s a red-letter day for the good folk of Unliklistan as they start to power up their first atomic reactor. But after pushing the wrong button, the ultra-rare radioactive element, unstabilium, has been released into the atmosphere. Now it’s up to pilot Lt. Col.

Another DC Bombshells series means more 1940’s era pin-up versions of your favorite super-heroines! What started out as a design for four statues in 2013 has grown into a whole brand on its own. Before the comic series were produced, a variant cover month in 2014 across DC’s titles and another in 2015 paved the way for digital–then print–comics. “The Bombshells are back in an all-new series. As our new tale begins, the year is 1943, and Wonder Woman is called to Arizona for help by two young girls named Cassie Sandsmark and Donna Troy. The girls’ friends and families are being displaced from their homes and forced into internment camps. To save them, can Wonder Woman fight against the […]

One of three new series from Vault comics this month, Maxwell’s Demons is touted to appeal to fans of Gaiman’s Sandman for its expansive daring universe. Vault has had some surprise hits, so it’s probably worth checking this one out. “Maxwell Maas may be the greatest mind the world has ever known, but at 10-years-old he has a lot to learn. Adventuring to distant worlds through his makeshift multiversal closet door, Max will encounter greatness and menace on a cosmic scale. Fans of Gaiman’s Sandman will feel at home in the expansive, daring universe of Maxwell’s Demons.”
The hero of the critically acclaimed television series is back…Samurai Jack! This was such a cool cartoon series, and he’s so worthy of continuing adventures in comic book form. No small part of the charm of the TV series was that ‘dystopian retrofuturistic Earth’ inhabited by robots, extraterrestrials, talking animals, monsters, magical creatures, and deities. I hope this is the ‘suprisingly familiar’ part. “A ruthless biker gang ambushes a royal envoy. The name of their leader? SAMURAI JACK. From the team that brought you HELENA CRASH comes an all-new take on the legendary wandering samurai that is completely different and yet surprisingly familiar. Wait, what? How is that even possible? YOU GOTTA READ SAMURAI JACK: QUANTUM JACK TO FIND OUT.” […]
