This week, J. Michael Straczynski is back with Superman: Earth One Vol. 2--the follow up to the #1 New York Times best-selling graphic novel of 2010. This volume continues Stracynski's new vision of the Man of Steel as Clark attempts to balance his humanity and Kryptonian powers. If you thought things looked grim last time, just wait until Superman faces off against the Parasite and his insatiable hunger for power. What would happen if a creature had the power of Superman and none of his conscience? Nothing good. You won't want to miss the next chapter in DC's line of Earth One graphic novels.
Being a fifth week of the month, DC didn't want readers to go without some of their favorite titles, so there are several great annuals available. In Action Comics Annual #1, the missing five years between Clark Kent's arrival in Metropolis and the current day continues to be explored. Then, Batgirl plays a game of Bat and Cat as she hunts down Catwoman in the Batgirl Annual #1. Don't miss Justice League Dark Annual #1 (picking up from Justice League Dark #13) as Jeff Lemire brings his first epic storyline to a conclusion. Scott Snyder and Jeff Lemire join forces for Swamp Thing Annual #1 as they take a closer look at just how the world fell to the Rot in the first place. While it may not be an annual, Aquaman #13 finds its way to shelves to bring you the finale of 'The Others.' For those of you looking for a little Halloween reading, look no further than the new anthology Ghosts #1 from Vertigo. Featuring top industry talent like the late Joe Kubert, Geoff Johns, Jeff Lemire, Paul Pope, Gilbert Hernandez and others, stories range from a space heist on a ghost ship to a ghost-for-hire haunting agency and more!
Marvel introduces a new ongoing series spinning out of AvX--A Plus X #1. Every month, a new issue brings readers two stories by some of Marvel's top creators. This issue features a Wolverine/Hulk story by Jeph Loeb and Dale Keown and a Captain America/Cable by Dan Slott and Rob Garney. And don't miss AvX Consequences #4 by Kieron Gillen and Dale Eaglesham. This week sees another final issue in preparation for the Marvel NOW! relaunch: X-Men Legacy #275. Magneto made Rogue a life changing offer last issue, and now she must deal with the repercussions of her answer.
Attention Walking Dead fans, you don't want to miss CBLDF Liberty Annual 2012 #5. As a special Halloween treat, this years issue includes an all-new short comic story by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard. If that isn't enough, the story features the return of fan-favorite bad guy--The Governor.
The books discussed above and those listed below are available this Wednesday, October 24 as soon as Dr. No's Comics and Games opens at 11am. We look forward to seeing you! Happy Halloween!
