ASTONISHING X-MEN #4 Comic Book Cover

Cool cover. It reminds me of the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones–but with bones…hehe, it’s Game of Bones. “A MONSTER IS LOOSE IN LONDON. HIS NAME IS LOGAN. Psylocke, Bishop and Angel are all that stand between a mind-poisoned Logan and a mountain of corpses. Rogue and Gambit consider their options. Fantomex and Mystique get the party started. And somewhere, the Shadow King laughs and laughs… Rated T+” Buy It Now Interested in Getting Started In X-MEN comic books?

ETERNITY #1 Comic Book Cover

Wow, Valiant has been playing heavy with their Universe(s), but this is interesting. A whole new plane of existence with its own universe of gods and heroes. I guess, really, the concept is not new, but how this new universe will play with the Valiant New Universe is unknown. “A VISIONARY NEW SERIES. From the minds of New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (X-O MANOWAR, Mind MGMT) and blockbuster artist Trevor Hairsine (DIVINITY, X-Men: Deadly Genesis) comes an expedition into the Unknown. Beyond time… Beyond space… Beyond reality itself… ETERNITY awaits.

STAR WARS DARTH VADER #6

The newest Darth Vader series brings in the Inquisitors! I’m excited to maybe get more background on this group of Force users, a sort of police force for the Emperor. They do more menial tasks, those not up to the level of a Sith Lord! Hey, I just had a thought. What if Supreme Leader Snoke is a former Inquisitor?!? “Darth Vader…meet THE INQUISITORIUS.” Buy It Now Interested in Getting Started In STAR WARS comic books?

BATMAN WHITE KNIGHT #1

Hey, Batman fans! This looks like a very cool alternate Gotham City. Sean Murphy has done some great comic book work, so this should be good, both story and art. I’m always up for an even more twisted Gotham City… “In a world where Batman has gone too far, The Joker must save Gotham City. He’s been called a maniac, a killer and the ‘Clown Prince of Crime’ but ‘white knight’? Never. Until now… Set in a world where the Joker is cured of his insanity and homicidal tendencies, The Joker, now known as ‘Jack,’ sets about trying to right his wrongs. First he plans to reconcile with Harley Quinn, and then he’ll try to save the city from the […]
