Perusing the latest Previews catalog is the highlight of my month because there&#8217;s always so many cool, new comic series sprouting up. I&#8217;m always touting Marvel and DC stuff (and I&#8217;m really intrigued with DC&#8217;s new WONDER TWINS offering), but there&#8217;s a couple obscure series from Silver Sprocket that look really good. How does MAGICAL BEATDOWN sound to you? Or EMOTIONAL DATA? Or how about the manga URUSEI YATSURA from Viz and the creator of Inu Yasha? If you want to stick a little more to the mainstream, then check out the stuff from Marvel&#8217;s continued 80th Anniversary celebration. There&#8217;s some really cool-looking one-shots and one called ZIGGY PIG &#8211; SILLY SEAL COMICS, which sounds silly because, ah, the word&#8217;s in the title. DC&#8217;s got some crazy cool stuff coming out as well. Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/spiralcomics.com\/brand_new_series.php\">Brand New Series<\/a> page on our website if you want to see all the new #1&#8217;s this month! As always, let us know if there is something we can track down for you&#8230;we try to cater to regular, normal newbies&#8230;crazy, intense collectors&#8230;and everyone in between (except for Cicada, because, well, it&#8217;s a lame name for a villain with semi-cool powers). &#8211;Glenn<\/p>\n<p>P.S.

SHARKEY THE BOUNTY HUNTER looks great as a story with gorgeous-looking art from Simone Bianchi. I\u2019m pretty excited about this one\u2026and it\u2019s already slated for a Netflix movie adaptation! I always remember that Millar said all his stories take place in the same \u2018universe,\u2019 but this one seems pretty hard to imagine it fits in smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMINISERIES PREMIERE Set in a brilliant new sci-fi universe, Sharkey is a blue-collar bounty hunter who tracks criminals across the galaxy in his converted, rocket-powered ice-cream truck.

I definitely want to check this one out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExiled from their home planet, alien heroes Zan and Jayna must navigate life as teens on Earth at South Metropolis High School, where they\u2019re even bigger outsiders than the typical awkward young adults. Under the watchful eye of Superman, the brother and sister pull monitor duty at the Hall of Justice as interns, while also trying to overcome the pitfalls of Zan\u2019s brash confidence and Jayna\u2019s shy but streetwise persona.
