If you were looking to get in at the beginning, here it is… “The guardians in sailor suits return in this definitive edition of the greatest magical girl manga of all time.

This is a self-contained mini-series that doesn’t require any knowledge of the Warhammer universe or the game. If you’ve ever wondered what the phenomenon is all about, check it out with this mini-series! “The best of the best and the most dangerous space marines from every chapter are called to the Deathwatch. They alone have the strength of mind and body to wield alien weapons and battle the enemy across the universe, manning the wall to defend humanity from the Xenos that would destroy them.

Whoo hoo! A 2-issue mini-series that sets up the Avengers Infinity War movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Some of these official mini-series are adaptations of the movies, but this one looks like original material, not previously seen in any form. “When a terrorist puts the Avengers at odds, CAPTAIN AMERICA and THE WINTER SOLDIER go rogue to find him – but IRON MAN isn’t far behind. Will the Avengers survive the fallout? Then, find out where Captain America, the Falcon and the Black Widow are headed next – because the world needs heroes, whether it wants them or not. And get a sneak peek at Tony Stark’s brand-new armor. Get ready for MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR in […]

Wow! A crossover mini-series from Peter David between classic BSG and the re-imagined BSG. I’m so very interested to see how this works, since the re-imagined ‘universe’ actually-sort of-in a weird kind of way…incorporates the history of the classic story as part of its backstory. This should be pretty cool! “At last. The epic story you’ve been dying to see is here, a galaxy and timeline-spanning saga bringing the two very different (and yet so very much alike) crews of the Battlestar Galacticas series together. But don’t expect this historic meeting of heroes to be friendly: they have no idea why they have been brought together, or what the result of this unprecedented meeting is. And it starts here as […]

Tom Strong! I’ve never been a big fan of the actual stars of this new series, THE TERRIFICS. But, apparently, Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man and Phantom Girl will be searching the multiverse for Tom Strong. Tom Strong was created by the great Alan Moore for his America’s Best Comics imprint which went over to DC when they acquired Wildstorm. I’d be willing to check this series out to see how DC brings back Tom Strong and his family. “Bound together by fate, united by the spirit of exploration and hope for tomorrow, the Terrifics are bound from the Dark Multiverse of Metal. When Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man and Phantom Girl find themselves literally bound together by a tragic […]

Spinning out of the Venomverse storyline, the ‘Poison X’ storyline starts in this annual issue of X-MEN: BLUE. The expansion of the symbiote ‘universe’ has been hit-and-miss. I’m really hoping this storyline gives the symbiote a righteous place in the galaxy. “THE CROSSOVER BETWEEN VENOM AND X-MEN BLUE STARTS HERE. Spinning out of the events of Venomverse, the Children of the Atom and the Lethal Protector team up to take down an extradimensional threat. This is it, folks, the team-up you’ve been asking for: X-MEN BLUE and VENOM must band together in the cold reaches of space to protect our universe from a threat more diabolical than you can imagine. But will EDDIE BROCK, his faithful SYMBIOTE, MARVEL GIRL, CYCLOPS, […]
