Zero in on new comics this Wednesday, September 26

This week marks the last of the zero issues from DC Comics. Since the introduction of the Court of Owls in Batman, the group of unstoppable assassins have been a thorn in Gotham's side. Luckily, there is one less killer to worry about in Scott Snyder and Guillem March's Talon #0. Calvin Rose was just like all of his counterparts in the Court of Owls until he was able to break free of the group's grasp on his mind. Now, Calvin just wants to live a normal life, but he is going to find that hard to do when he becomes the next target on the Court's list. Batman was born from the death of his parents, and in Batman, The Dark Night #0, he sets out to find his mother and father's killer. You won't want to miss the introduction of Joe Chill or the unraveling conspiracy to destroy the Wayne family. Find even more Bat action in Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham's Batman Incorporated #0. Batman realized he needed help continuing his war on crime, and now readers can see how his partners in Batman Inc. were recruited. Speaking of help, discover the origin of Tim Drake as Red Robin in Teen Titans #0 by Scott Lobdell, Tyler Kirkham, and Matt Banning.

Now, let's go from the rooftops of Gotham to the depths of the ocean in Aquaman #0 by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis. The city of Atlantis makes its first New 52 appearance in a story set in Arthur's past as he meets Atlanteans for the first time. Don't miss this issue because it will set the stage for Aquaman's future. Speaking of a character's past shaping his future, the new creative team of Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort take readers back to Jor-El's discovery that Krypton was doomed in Superman #0. Looking for more origins? Discover: why Barry Allen does what he does in Flash #0, what a young John Constantine was like in Justice League Dark #0, how Jonah Hex got his scar in All Star Western #0, and more in Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Men #0, Red Lantern #0, Savage Hawkman #0, and Voodoo #0.

Fans of Marvel's X-Men titles should be pleased with this week's releases. In Gambit #3, Remy continues his search for a way to destroy the artifact that's latched onto his body. His next stop is a lost temple in Guatemala, but instead of help he may only find betrayal. In the aftermath of AvX (don't worry, you haven't missed issue twelve), Magneto has an offer for Rogue that might leave her speechless in X-Men Legacy #274. If you've been looking for a good jumping on point, X-Men #36 is an ideal choice. Storm's leadership is called into question and a new team member is introduced. For something a little more multi-verse, check out X-Treme X-Men #4. Dazzler and the rest of the team end up in a frontier reality ruled by outlaws. Find even more fun in Astonishing X-Men #54, Wolverine #313, and Wolverine and the X-Men #17.

Fans of the Avatar cartoon series should be happy to know that the third and final installment of Avatar The Last Airbender: The Promise is out Wednesday. The four nations have been plunged back into war with the Restoration Movement's failure. The new war has once again put Aang and Fire Lord Zuko on separate sides, but will they be able to overcome their issues before one of them pays the ultimate cost?

If all of those great books aren't enough, the books listed below will also be available this Wednesday, September 26 as soon as Dr. No's opens. We look forward to seeing you.

Amethyst returns this Wednesday, September 19

The third week of September brings with it a slew of DC New 52 zero issues. Pandora, the mysterious woman appearing in the background of the number one issues, has been the constant topic of conversation among fans, but no one knows who she is or where she came from. Justice League #0, by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, presents the not-to-be-missed origin of the hooded lady and further rumblings that will build to Trinity War, but that isn't all! The true star of this book is Billy Batson and the power of Shazam; don't miss the New 52 origin the of "The Big Red Cheese." After a year, not all of the original New 52 books were lucky enough to make it to the zero issue mark, but the super-sized DC Universe Presents #0 brings readers five new tales featuring some of these not so fortunate characters like Mother Machine, Hawk and Dove, Mister Terrific, and O.M.A.C. While some books go away, new ones come on to the scene. Amethyst returns in Sword of Sorcery #0 by Marx Christy and Aaron Lopresti. Amy Winston and her mother have lived an odd life on the road but for good reason. Amy is about to find out she is the lost princess of Gemworld and, because of that, is being hunted by enemies of the throne. 

If your looking forward to the return of the Joker in DC's forthcoming Death of the Family storyline, don't miss Scott Lobdell and Pasqual Ferry's Red Hood and the Outlaws #0, or you won't know how Jason Todd returned to the land of the living after being killed by the Joker. If you want more origins of the Bat-family, see how the orphaned Dick Grayson turns super hero in Nightwing #0 by Kyle Higgins and Eddy Barrows. And what of Kate Kane? She bares the familiar symbol of the Batman, but why? In Batwoman #0, writer/artist Freddie Williams tells the story of how Kate left behind her life of excess and became the masked crusader Batwoman. All of the books above are just the tip of the iceberg, the following DC titles are also out this week: Birds of Prey #0, Blue Bettle #0, Captain Atom #0, Catwoman #0, Legion of Super Heroes #0, Supergirl #0, Wonder Woman #0, and Before Watchmen: Nite Owl #3.

One of the staff favorite Spider-Man (or should I say Spider-Men) events of the year is coming to a close this week with Spider-Men #5 by Brian Michael Bendis and the incredibly talented Sara Pichelli. Peter and Miles have been through a lot during their short time together, but the amazing Spider-Man must find a way back to his own reality. To do that, the Spider-Men must stop Mysterio. Don't miss the epic conclusion to this amazing series. For those needing their Avengers vs X-Men fix, check out Avengers #30 and see if the budding romance between Hawkeye and Spider-Woman can survive the ending of the world. In X-Factor #244, tragedy after tragedy has befallen the team, and one member of X-Factor makes an unforgettable sacrifice in hopes of setting everything right.

Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard have taken fans on an emotional roller coaster with their Something to Fear storyline, but the ride comes to an end with Walking Dead #102. Those who have survived the recent tragedies must regroup, plan for the future, and hope for the best, but will they ever be the same again? And if you want some more of the undead, check out Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike #2 by Victor Gischler and Paul Lee. Spike's steampunk spaceship has been invaded by demons from the dark side of the moon, and now the misfit crew is on its way back to Sunnydale!

All of the books discussed above and those listed below will be available as soon as Dr. No's opens its doors Wednesday, September 19. We look forward to seeing you!

New beginnings this Wednesday, September 12

This Wednesday, September 12, DC continues to reveal the origins of the New 52's superheroes and answer questions readers have had since the launch of the new books one year ago. But that's not all! DC is introducing several new titles throughout the month. Writer Justin Jordan and artist Jesus Merino present the newest DC title Team 7 #0 set in the early days of the New 52! Meet Team 7, a group of men and women dedicated to protecting the world against the super powered people like Superman that have begun appearing. Dinah Lance, Amanda Waller, Steve Trevor, John Lynch, Alex Fairchild, Cole Cash, and Slade Wilson make up this well trained squad that will change everything you know about the new universe. Learn even more about Team 7 in Deathstroke #0 by Rob Leifeld, and discover what made Slade Wilson the dangerous killer he is today. Then, the secrets of Cole Cash's (another member of Team 7) power are revealed in Grifter #0 by Liefeld, Frank Tieri, Scott Clark, and David Beaty. And what of Amanda Waller and her current team? Find out what happened after Team 7 in Suicide Squad #0 by Adam Glass and Fernando Dagnino. Also, don't miss Batman #0 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullp. The origins of everything that makes Batman the hero he is will be revealed! Those aren't all of the issue zero titles this week, so keep an eye out for Batgirl #0, Batman and Robin #0, Demon Knights #0, Frankenstein, Agent of Shade #0, Green Lantern Corps #0, Legion Lost #0, Ravagers #0, Resurrection Man #0, and Superboy #0. 

The penultimate issue of Marvel's biggest comic event to date is finally here. From Brian Bendis and Olivier Coipel, Avengers vs X-Men #11 is the first of two extra-sized issues that will close out this epic battle between two of the world's greatest teams. The Avengers, with the help of Charles Xavier, Scarlet Witch, and Hope, stand against the remaining hosts of the Phoenix Force, but will their combined powers be enough? For more AvX fun, check out Wolverine and the X-Men #16 from Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo. Marvel's Season One line of graphic novels continues with the Dr. Strange Season One HC by Greg Pak and Emma Rios. An arrogant doctor and a martial artist with a short fuse become the greatest mystic arts team in the world, but how? Discover the origin of Marvel's master sorcerer in an adventure that's described as part Indiana Jones, part Lord of the Rings. Also check out Avenging Spider-Man #12, Avengers Assemble #7, Uncanny X-Force #31, X-Treme X-Men #3, and the other great Marvel titles.

DC and Marvel are not the only publisher with new books this week. From Image Comics, John Layman, and Rob Guillory, Chew #28 continues the adventures of everyone's favorite cibopath! Last issue, Tony Chu was kidnapped. This issue? Tony Chu is kidnapped again! Dark Horse's continuation of the Buffy television series progresses with this week's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 9 #13 by Andrew Chambliss and Georges Jeanty. And everyone's favorite cartoon series turned comic, Adventure Time, continues its Marceline focused series with Adventure Time: Marceline and the Scream Queens #3 by Meredith Gran.

The comics discussed above and all of those listed below will be available this Wednesday, September 12 when Dr. No's opens its doors at 11:00 AM. We look forward to seeing everyone this week!

No Labor Day delays! New comics this Wednesday, September 5

To celebrate the one year anniversary of DC Comics' New 52, every New 52 book (and four new ones!) are receiving an issue #0. Each zero issue will tell the origin of its respective character. What about the origins we already know about? Those zero issues will revolve around filling in gaps and answering questions readers have about the New 52 Universe. And no matter what, DC promises to pack each issue with surprises. Let's take a closer look at some of the already established books coming out this week. In Action Comics #0, Grant Morrison and artist Ben Oliver tell the tale of 'The Boy Who Stole Superman's Cape' that will reveal a young Clark Kent's first days in Metropolis. Then, writer Gregg Hurwitz and artists Tony Daniels and Richard Friend lead readers on a story of discovery as Bruce Wayne's history of martial arts is looked at and  find out how a major villain was introduced to the Batman in Detective Comics #0. Animal Man #0, by Jeff Lemire and Steve Pugh, tells the secret history of Animal Man and how he got his powers. As a bonus, 'Rotworld' (the Animal Man/Swamp Thing crossover) draws ever closer and a terrible secret is laid bare. Speaking of the Green guy, Swamp Thing #0, by Scott Snyder and Kano, looks at how Alec Holland has escaped death at the hands of Anton Arcane, a man (or monster) who has killed the champions of the Green and Red throughout history.

As I mentioned, DC is also launching four new books this month. The first week's new series is The Phantom Stranger #0 by Dan Didio, Brent Anderson, and Scott Hanna. The Stranger was first introduced to the new DC Universe in the Free Comic Book Day story from early this year, and this new series will follow what became of him after the events of that story. Find out who must be sacrificed, who the guilty are, and who can save us all. Of course, this all builds into revealing just who or what the Phantom Stranger is. Major characters that will be intricate to future DC story lines will also be introduced. These are not the only issue zero books coming out this week, so keep an eye out for Batwing #0, Dial H #0, Earth 2 #0, GI Combat #0, Green Arrow #0, Stormwatch #0, and World's Finest #0.

Marvel has several titles out this week that I know are on reader's must read list. First up, X-Factor #243, by Peter David and Leonard Kirk, is Part III of 'Breaking Points,' a story that will "change the face of X-Factor forever." A secret, long buried, is finally revealed, and it will drive one member of the team insane. The new hit solo-Avenger title continues with Hawkeye #2 by Matt Fraction and David Aja, so look forward to cars, guns, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, and robbing from the rich. The First X-Men #2 continues Christos Gage and Neal Adams' story of the true first team of mutants as Wolverine and Sabretooth set out to recruit their newest member: Magneto. A couple of other notable titles this week are Dark Avengers #180, Deadpool #60, Invincible Iron Man #524, a reprint of Thanos Quest, and many other great Marvel books!

If you haven't been reading the recent relaunch of Valiant Comics, this is a perfect time to catch up with several of their great titles before you get to far behind. This week sees the release of Archer & Armstrong #2 by Fred Van Lente and Clayton Henry and Bloodshot #3 by Duane Swiercynski, Manuel Garcia, and Arturo Lozzi.

All of the books discussed above and those listed below will be on Dr. No's Comics and Games' shelves as soon as we open our doors this Wednesday, September 5. That's right, there will be NO delay because of Labor Day. We look forward to seeing you!
