Hello, comic fans! Spiral Comics is working on some exciting improvements to our website, but you’ll have to wait to hear about them!

DC NEW AGE OF DC HEROES (2017)
Springing from the DARK NIGHTS: METAL crossover event, DC’s NEW AGE OF DC HEROES introduces a group of new comic book series with some existing characters and teams as well as some new ones. With these new series, there is an increased emphasis on a more synergistic approach to storytelling between the artist and the writer, all of whom are some of DC’s top talent. The first issues of the series feature an unprecedented vertical fold-out cover. Initial series include: DAMAGE, THE SILENCER, SIDEWAYS, THE TERRIFICS, THE IMMORTAL MEN, THE CURSE OF BRIMSTONE, THE CHALLENGERS, and THE UNEXPECTED.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS FOR DECEMBER 2017
Star Wars: Thrawn #1
Wow, this is exciting! Thrawn is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, and Zahn’s latest novel in the New Canon era is absolutely outstanding! Any true Star Wars fan MUST have this series!
“One of the most cunning and ruthless warriors in the history of the Star Wars Universe, Grand Admiral Thrawn is back with a six-issue miniseries about how he became one of the most feared military tacticians in a galaxy far, far away. Written by Jody Houser (ROGUE ONE ADAPTATION) and drawn by Luke Ross (STAR WARS: DARTH MAUL, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS ADAPTATION), follow the comic adaptation of Timothy Zahn’s New York Times best-selling novel about Thrawn’s rise in the Imperial ranks.”
ROBOTECH Archive Omnibus Vol 1: Macross Vol 1
This is exciting! A 20-volume series of classic Robotech reprints. Released on a quarterly schedule, it’ll take 5 years to collect them all. Buckle up, buttercup, this’ll take a while. But, I’ll bet most will be interested mainly in the original Comico issues which adapted the U.S. television cartoon series. That’ll be just the first seven volumes.
“The Robotech animated series is legendary – And now you can immerse yourself in the classic comics which recreated the legends. A new series of books collecting classic Robotech material, most of which are out of print of have never been previously published. Featuring classic Robotech fan-favourite creators such as Carl Macek, Jack Herman, Mike Leeke and Neil Vokes.”
X-Men: Red #1
Another ongoing X-Men title! The team is a perfect mix of old heads and greenhorns: Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Namor, Wolverine (Laura Kinney), a Wakandan mutant named Gentle, one of Laura’s clone sisters named Gabby, and a brand new character named Trinary. Jean Grey leads the new team of X-Men in a story that will feature “new uniforms, a new team headquarters, and exciting new characters,” as well as “dynamic hero moments, great character interactions, and a surprise villain at the end.” I’m actually pretty excited for this one. I really like how they’ve mixed seasoned X-Men with fresh meat.
“The Hate Machine Part 1 THE FIRST SENSATIONAL ARC OF AN ALL-NEW TEAM OF X-MEN STARTS HERE. JEAN GREY is back. Returned to a world she doesn’t recognize, the First Lady of the X-MEN gathers an unlikely team – NIGHTCRAWLER, NAMOR and LAURA KINNEY (A.K.A. ALL-NEW WOLVERINE) – to face an evil that threatens to tear down XAVIER’s dream by any means necessary.”
