Introducing the new DC New 52 this Wednesday, May 2

Last month, several of DC's titles came to an end with their eighth issues. But don't worry because the New 52 family has a few new members! Since the relaunch, readers have wondered what happened to some of their favorite, classic characters. Look no further than Earth 2 #1 by James Robinson and artist Nicola Scott, starring Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and more. In this extra-sized debut issue, anything is possible. Then in Worlds Finest #1, Paul Levitz and George Perez tell the tale of two heroes, Power Girl and Huntress, ripped from Earth 2 and stranded on our Earth. Find out what this means for these two heroes and those of our world. Hugo Award winning writer China Mieville and artist Mateus Santolouco bring readers Dial H #1. A person discovers the H Dial, an artifact that bestows great powers upon its user, and quickly begins to depend on it. However, it is soon revealed that this very artifact is a threat to the entire world! Last but not least, GI Combat #1, by J.T. Krul, Ariel Olivetti and Dan Panosian, presents the first chapter of "War That Time Forgot" (the military versus dinosaurs!) and "Unknown Soldier."

DC has a several other noteworthy books this week. Detective Comics #9 and Batwing #9 continue the awesome "Night of the Owls" storyline. Teen Titans Annual #1 kicks off "The Culling" as the Teen Titans face off against The Legion Lost! Fans of the hit WB show should look forward to Smallville Season 11 #1. This new ongoing series follows the adventures of Clark Kent after he puts on the costume.

Marvel's big event continues in Avengers vs X-Men #3. The X-Men and Avengers race to discover the next host of the Phoenix while Hope realizes she has to  take control of her future. And we knew it was coming, Captain America and Wolverine may not be on the same side after all. Then in Avengers Academy #29, the Utopia and Generation Hope teens find their way to the Academy but not as students. AvX may have the headlines, but Marvel has some other new books worth a look. In Exiled #1, Journey Into Mystery and New Mutants crossover as a forgotten hero, stronger than Thor, returns!

A couple of weeks ago, Dynamite Entertainment brought The Shadow back into the light, and this week, The Spider #1 spins a new tale for the returning pulp hero. Richard Wentworth transforms himself into The Spider as New York City fills with despair and violence. He will fight a one man war against crime, equipped only with his brains, technology, and trusty pistols.

The comics mentioned above and all of them listed below will be available when our doors open this Wednesday, May 2!

Great new books this Wednesday, April 25

Does everyone remember what the first Saturday in May is? Here's a hint. It involves comic books and the huge price of FREE. That's right. Free Comic Book Day is coming up May 5th! That's less than two weeks from now! Multiple companies have come together to produce books unique to FCBD. One of the highlights is a new DC 52 story by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee. The fun starts when we open our doors at 11:00 am, and we have several talented guests (Mark Bagley, Joseph Linsner, Paul Jenkins, and Tom Feister) appearing between noon and 2:00pm. Show up early to get the books that you want. Now back to our regularly scheduled blog!

Have you enjoyed Marvel's big event Avengers vs. X-Men? Of course you have! This week brings you even more to enjoy in AvX VS #1 by writer Jason Aaron and Kathryn Immonen and artists Adam Kubert and Stuart Immonen. While the main series and several of tie-in issues have focused on the reason for conflict between the two teams, this new book is nothing but pure, unbridled, face-punching action! Round One, fight! In this corner, we have Iron Man! And in the other, we have the master of magnetism himself, Magneto! This is the fight you have all been waiting for! But that's not all! In Round Two, ol' blue eyes, The Thing, faces off against the prince of Atlantis, Namor! If that isn't enough, keep an eye out for these tie-in issues: New Avengers #25, Secret Avengers #26, and Uncanny X-Men #11!

Fans of Bioware's blockbuster Mass Effect 3 will not want to miss Mass Effect: Homeworlds #1 by lead game writer Mac Walters with art by Eduardo Francisco. This is the first in a series of single-issue stories that will feature one of the heroes from the game. First up, a story of a young and brash soldier by the name of James Vega! These stories are essential to the story of BioWare's latest game, so don't miss out!

Of course, DC's regular fourth week titles will be available. A few of my favorite titles are Aquaman, All Star Western, and I Vampire.

For those of you that also enjoy gaming, I wanted to let you know about this weekend's Magic The Gathering prerelease tournament for Avacyn Restored. Two tournaments will be held: one on Saturday, April 28th and the other on Sunday, April 29th. Both tournaments begin at noon, so plan accordingly. To make things a little more exciting, we will be opening the Helvault as players complete the requirements to break each seal. What's inside? Well, you will have to be there to find out!

The books mentioned above and all of the books listed below will be available as soon as we open our doors this Wednesday!

Only the Shadow No's this Wednesday, April 18

This Wednesday, Garth Ennis and Aaron Campbell with Dynamite Entertainment bring the highly anticipated Shadow #1 to store shelves! This new tale of action, adventure, and intrigue drops our mysterious vigilante right in the middle of conspiracy that will determine the fate of the world. American Military Intelligence sets up a meeting with Lamont Cranston, alter ego of the Shadow, in order to beat the competition to the greatest prize of all. What's the prize ask? Well, only the Shadow knows, until you pick up the book that is. Fans of pulp action and Batman should check out this new series.

Marvel's blockbuster event continues in Avengers vs X-Men #2! The opening shots have been fired. After Cyclops' attack on Captain America, the Avengers invade Utopia in hopes of preventing their worst fears from coming true as the Phoenix draws ever closer. If you missed issues #0 and #1, don't worry because we have copies to get you all caught up. Then, Avengers #25 ties into the AvX storyline and follows Captain America as he declares war on the X-Men. This issue also marks the final storyline in Brian Bendis's Avengers saga. Speaking of great stories, Amazing Spider-Man #684, the third part of Ends of the Earth, takes Spider-Man to the Middle East and pits him against The Sandman. However, with the entire Sahara Desert at the Sandman's disposal, the odds are not looking good for the Web-head.

The notorious inquisitive Abraxis Wren returns in IDW's Dungeons & Dragons: Eberron Annual 2012. Writer Paul Crilley--returning from Infestatoin 2: Dungeons and Dragons--and artist Paco Diaz set Wren and his assistant Torin on an investigation that will shake the very foundation of Sharn the 'City of Towers', but it all may come crashing down on our two detectives. Anyone that enjoys fantasy, Dungeons & Dragons, or just fun stories, should give this book a look.  Also from IDW, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Micro Series: Leonardo continues the series that focuses on one of the brothers as he goes on a solo adventure taking place between issues of the main series. In this issue, witness the first conflict between Leonardo and the Foot Clan!

The books mentioned above and all of the books listed below will be available as soon as we open our doors this Wednesday!

Revisit the origin of a hero and the birth of a super-spy this Wednesday, April 11

Marvel's successful new line of original graphic novels continues with the release of Daredevil Season One HC. Writer Antony Johnston and artist Wellinton Alves reunite to visit Matt Murdock's early days as the Man Without Fear. Learn how one of New York's best attorneys went from wearing a two piece suit to the yellow and brown costume of the Daredevil. Be there as the protector of Hell's Kitchen stands toe-to-toe with the likes of the Owl, Purple Man, and Mr. Fear. Each copy of this hardcover comes with a digital code to download a copy of the book to take with you on your favorite device. If this is the first time you have heard of this line, make sure to check out X-Men Season One and Fantastic Four Season One, available now!

Hot on the heels of the wonderful Supercrooks, Mark Millar joins forces with the amazing Dave Gibbons for their new book Secret Service #1. One day, Millar and Matthew Vaughn sat and wondered why we never see James Bond's early days, so Millar set out to do just that with his new book. The story follows a young man being trained as a 21st century super-spy by a older man that's been through the service. Millar describes the organization as that world's version of S.H.I.E.L.D. or U.N.C.L.E. The art in this book is also some of Gibbons best work of recent times. Fans of spy movies, action films, or just good stories should not pass this book over.

For a long time, America has been in love with reality television. What if America suddenly had an influx of super powered teens? Make a reality show of course! In America's Got Powers #1, Jonathan Ross and Bryan Hitch introduce readers to Tommy Watt. A young man that dreams of being the greatest super hero out there. The reality show America's Got Powers can offer him that, but he has to win. The problem: Tommy has no powers. To make matters worse, the more he learns about the show, the closer he comes to uncovering the truth he may not want to know. If you are looking for a new take on the super powered genre, this may be the book for you.

DC's regular round of second week New 52 titles hits shelves this week along with a few other books. Batman: Arkham Unhinged #1 continues the story from last year's hit game Batman: Arkham City. And don't miss the second issue of Vertigo's Saucer Country.


IDW's Infestation 2 #2 wraps up the big event as members of C.V.O., Danger Girl, and others come face to face with the Elder Gods that have infested multiple realities. But will all of their combined forces be able to stop these unspeakable horrors? Then, the story of a illusionist trapped in a world of real magic continues in Smoke and Mirrors #2.

Freedom #1, the Xeric Award-wining book by Seamus Heffernan, presents the history of America's founding and draws from equal amounts of myth and fact. In this first issue, readers are introduced to Adam Farr, a teenager in pre-Revolutionary Massachusetts. Adam quickly finds himself at odds with the British Army and the Sons of Liverty, which ends up putting him right in the middle of the conflict between the British and the Patriots. Seamus Heffernan's art and story telling are truly impressive, and I highly recommend this book to any fan of the comics medium.

A group of best friends journey to the con to end all cons: Comic-Con! However, when the group turns to squabbling, things only get worse when they find themselves trapped inside the con. How could being  trapped in Comic-Con be a bad thing? Well, when the title of this new series by Sam Humphries and Jerry Gaylord is Fanboys vs. Zombies, I am sure you can guess. With the convention transformed into a shambling hoard, this band of nerds must use all of the knowledge they have gleaned from video games, comic books, and horror movies to survive. This new ongoing series promisses plenty of comedy, horror, and action, so check it out.
