FIRST IMPRESSIONS FOR JANUARY 2018

Oblivion Song #1
A new post-apocalyptic (sort of) series from super-star Robert Kirkman. Exciting! You must check this one out.

“A decade ago, 300,000 citizens of Philadelphia were suddenly lost in Oblivion. The government made every attempt to recover them, but after many years, they gave up. Nathan Cole…won’t. He makes daily trips, risking his life to try and rescue those still living in the apocalyptic hellscape of Oblivion. But maybe…Nathan is looking for something else? Why can’t he resist the siren call of the Oblivion Song?”

Weapon H #1
Weapon H, which is a mashup of Hulk’s and Wolverine’s powers, gets his own ongoing series. This should be a lot of smashing and carnage. Is there any humanity at all in this guy?

“AWOL Part 1 The Weapon X Program has done it again. At the cost of their own destruction, they’ve completed their biggest and possibly most dangerous experiment yet… With the strength of the Hulk and the rage and claws of Wolverine comes WEAPON H. It’s been some time since Weapon H escaped and destroyed his creators. Now, our hero is on the run, as he tries to escape his mysterious past and seclude himself from the rest of society. But when a new kind of Wendigo threatens the lives of others, will Weapon H be able to shirk his responsibility? Does any of his humanity remain? Only the creative team of Greg Pak (INCREDIBLE HULK) and Cory Smith (X-MEN BLUE) can give you the answers.”

Voltron Legendary Defender #1
A new Voltron adventure that ties in to the hit Netflix animated television show! The perfect place to jump on!

“The Galra have long held a number of slave planets in their grasp, and the Paladins have devised a plan to free them. To do this, Allura must first find a way to infiltrate SPRAWL, a group of closely guarded planets that are mined for many of the Galra’s construction materials. Cutting off these resources is the first step toward bringing down the Galra. But the key to successfully finding a way in is to break the bond of the mysterious force that holds these planets together.”
