Xena has a new series from Dynamite! She’s become so much more than just a spin-off from Hercules, maybe even more popular than him even. He hasn’t had a lasting comic book legacy, has he? “In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings…a land in turmoil called out for a hero. She was XENA, a mighty princess forged in the heat of battle. In this all-new series, writer VITA AYALA (Black Panther, Wonder Woman, The Wilds) and artist OLYMPIA SWEETMAN throw Xena and her companion Gabrielle headfirst into a mysterious adventure. Can Xena discover the secrets of a village full of super-strong children, before jealous and petty GODS get involved?” Pre-Order Now Related shopping tags: XENA, WARRIOR PRINCESS

This from retired editor Ralph Macchio is most likely an out-of-continuity one-shot. The creative team had another out-of-continuity one-shot around the time of the last Avengers film too.

Join CAPTAIN AMERICA, BLACK WIDOW, IRON MAN and CAPTAIN MARVEL in a race against time that will determine the fate of the solar system.

This is an intriguing-looking mini-series from IDW. I’m really drawn to this type of story. “Seeking a refuge from an unhappy life, Brandt returns to his ancestral home in Japan to find a haunted tree and the departed souls that are drawn to it, including his Grandfather. Brandt attempts to heal some of history’s wounds but will he be able to find any measure of peace for himself when someone special from his past returns? From writer Bobby Curnow (Ward’s Valley, TMNT) and artist Simon Gane (They’re Not Like Us, Godzilla). A touching story about love, loss, and how the past never truly stays dead.” Pre-Order Now
