Nearly nine years have passed since Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead #1 shambled onto local comic shop shelves, and this Wednesday marks another landmark in the series with the release of The Walking Dead #100! If you think you've seen everything, just wait until you read this issue continuing the 'Something To Fear' storyline. Rick faces one of the darkest times in his life, which is saying a lot for what the man has been through, and this issues promises to have one of the most violent and brutal things to ever happen in the series. With so much in one issue, this book will be extra-sized to contain all of the awesome. For the collectors out there, there will be ten covers featuring art from several notable comic creators.
As an extra treat, Dr. No's will have special guest Kevin Galbraith from The Walking Dead television show in the store from Noon to 4 pm. Kevin has appeared in the show as several zombies, including a feature zombie that killed a major character during the last season. He will be back in the third season with an even bigger zombie role. Kevin, who is a huge fan of the Kirkman's book, will be in store signing and chatting with fans of the comic and show from Noon until 4 pm, so stop on by and say hello.
DC Comics presents the new series Punk Rock Jesus from writer/artist Sean Murphy (previous work includes Joe The Barbarian and American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest). Set in a near-future United States where reality television is still king, a new tv series called J2 premieres and stars the clone of Jesus Christ. Nine months after a young woman named Gwen wins a contest deciding who will carry the second coming, the new Messiah is born. Thomas McKael is hired as bodyguard to a baby Jesus who grows from infant to angry teenager on screens around the world. Murphy will explore the implications of cloning humans, let alone Jesus Christ, and the effects on those around the event and the world. Also out this week, Before Watchmen: Minutemen #2 continues the series written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke focusing on the heroes that prepared the world for the Watchmen. And for those that thought they might have missed it, Swamp Thing #11 will hits shelves, which is better late than never!
The Crow returns this week in the first issue of a new series from IDW and creative team John Shirley and Kevin Colden. The spirit of the Crow is reborn in the body of Jamie Osterberg. Jamie was just a normal guy from America studying in Tokyo. His love Yumi meant everything to him, but one day his happiness was taken away from him. To right the wrongs that have been done, he must kill his one true love. Fans of the films and the original comic will enjoy this new series.
With all of the exciting news of Marvel NOW! (with more sure to come from SDCC this week), let's not forget that AvX VS #4 continues the knock-down, drag-out fights between former friends and teammates. This issues features Daredevil facing off against Psylocke (by Rick Remender and Brandon Peterson) and Thor takes on a Phoenix Force powered Emma Frost (by Kaare Andrews). Those looking to read every tie-in will want to pick up Wolverine and the X-Men #13 by Jason Aaron and Nick Bradshaw. Marvel's ongoing series of Season One graphic novels continues with the Ant-Man Season One HC by Tom Defalco and Horacio Domingues. And if you are looking for something a little different from Marvel, check out Space: Punisher #1 by Frank Tieri and painted by Mark Texeira. In this non-continuity tale, Frank Castle is in space, and he is cutting a path of destruction through the criminal hierarchy of space. First on his list is the Sym-Brood-ant Queen!
