Steal away some time for new comics this Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Readers don't want to miss Image's newest title Thief of Thieves #1 by writers Robert Kirkman and Nick Spencer and artist Shawn Martinbrough. Kirkman--the creative mind behind The Walking Dead and Invincible--and Spencer--best known for Morning Glories, Ultimate Comics X-Men, and more--join forces to bring their newest series to life. Conrad Paulson is the master thief known simply as Redmond. Even though Conrad can have anything he wants, he can't steal back time. Having left behind his family to pursue his art, Conrad barely knows his now grown son and has never stopped loving his ex-wife. It is a race against the clock as he tries to salvage what is left of his old life before the FBI and others catch up to him. Don't let this one get away!

This week marks the release of the first of Marvel's highly anticipated Marvel: Season One original graphic novels that aim to bring new and old readers a fresh, modernized take on some of their favorite heroes. Kicking the new series off is Fantastic Four Season One by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and David Marquez. Genius Reed Richards plots a course to the stars for him and his three closest friends, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm. Little do they know, the journey will change the course of their lives forever. Be there as they discover their new super human abilities and battle against the likes of Dr. Doom, the Mole Man, and Prince Namor! If that isn't enough, each hardcover comes with a unique code that readers can redeem for a digital copy of the graphic novel.

The fan-favorite writer/artist team of Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan, best known for their original work Demo, reunites for a somewhat unexpected book from Dark Horse: Conan The Barbarian #1. In this adaptation of Robert E. Howard's "Queen of the Black Coast," Conan leaves the land behind as he sets off an a high-seas adventure full of action, adventure, and plenty of swashbuckling!

Several other Marvel books to watch for this week include the long awaited Powers #8 by Brian Michael Bending and Michael Oeming, Scarlet Spider #2, Punishermax #22, and more!

DC's regularly scheduled second week titles release this week along with the Huntress #5 and Penguin: Pain and Prejudice #5.

These titles will be available for purchase as soon as we open on Wednesday, February 8th! (And here's an oddity: February 2012 will be the first February since the early 1980s to have FIVE comic book shipping weeks--it can only happen during a leap year in which February 1st falls on a Wednesday.)

Witness the origins of the Jedi this Wednesday, February 1, 2012

An even longer time ago in a galaxy far, far away, ties to the Force were new and lightsabers were not yet a symbol of discipline and strength. This week, Dark Horse takes readers back 25,000 years in Star Wars' history to witness the birth of the Jedi in Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi #0. It was during this time that nine mysterious pyramid ships known as the Tho Yor carried the ancestors of the ancient race Je'daii to the corners of the galaxy where an Order was born that would forever change the universe. Writer John Ostrander and artist Jan Duursema take readers on this new, unexplored part of Star Wars history.

Lovecraftian forces continue to spread across the IDW universe. This week, they will enter the world of robots in disguise in Infestation 2: Transformers #1 by writer Chuck Dixon and artist Guido Guidi. Taking place in an age of steam-punk, monsters emerge from the dark depths of the ocean to corrupt humans and Decepticons! Only one man can awaken the Autobots to save the world!

Cable believes he can save the future, but there is one catch: the Avengers must be eliminated. Cable's one-man mission to wipeout the Earth's mightiest heroes continues this week in Avengers X-Sanction #3! If Cable had his hands full before, things only get worse as the Red Hulk becomes his next target. There are also some other notable Avengers and  X-books out this week, such as Avengers Academy #25, Uncanny X-Force #21, Uncanny X-Men #6, X-Club #3, and the always wonderful X-Factor #231.

These titles will be available for purchase as soon as we open on Wednesday, February 1st! (And here's an oddity: February 2012 will be the first February since the early 1980s to have FIVE comic book shipping weeks--it can only happen during a leap year in which February 1st falls on a Wednesday.)

New comics infest the shelves this Wednesday, January 25

Last year, IDW brought together several of its worlds and characters together for a zombie battle across the multiverse! And they are at it again with the release of this week's Infestation 2 #1 by writer Duane Swierczynski and artist David Messina. From across time and space, Lovecraftian demons come to destroy everything and everyone in their way. Let's hope that an amazing collection of heroes can stop them before it is too late. Who you ask? How about The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Transformer, GI Joes, heroes from Dungeons & Dragons, and ... the Bat Boy? Like the first one, Infestation 2 promises to be a fun read packed with a lot of unexpected guest stars!

IDW also has the second of two new ongoing Transformers books starting this week. Transformers: Robots in Disguise #1 picks up with the Autobots now in charge of a Cybertron, still reeling from the recent war. And with Optimus Prime gone, Bumblebee and the others must try to maintain some type of order in this new world. Writer John Barber and artist Andrew Griffith bring readers all of the hard hitting action in this new series.

Some DC New 52 readers may have thought they missed Justice League #5 last week, but they don't need to worry because DC was a little bit late getting it out of the door. However, it is here this Wednesday along with all of the other fourth week New 52 titles everyone is looking forward to, like Aquaman #5, Batman: The Dark Knight #5, Superman #5, and more! Also, keep an eye out for the fourth issue of the Legion: Secret Origin limited series .

Marvel has several great titles on the shelves. New and old readers should take a look at Deadpool #49.1 (The Musical!) and Secret Avengers #21.1, which are designed to introduce the books to those unfamiliar to the series while still offering a fun story for regular readers. Other great titles this week are Fantastic Four #602, FF #14, The Mighty Thor #10, Ultimate Comics Ultimates #6, and more!

These books, and many more, will be available as soon as we open the doors on Wednesday, so come on by!

Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic story Tarzan of the Apes is brought to life by Dynamite Entertainment like it has never been seen before: completely uncensored!

Readers shouldn't be put off by the issue number because this is designed to be a starting point for new and old readers.

The adventures continue in X-Men Legacy #260.1 as Rogue, Gambit, Iceman, Frenzy, and Rachel Summers begin their rolls as teachers and protectors of Wolverine's new school. Also, don't miss the always entertaining X-Factor #230 and Magneto: Not A Hero #3.
