Great new comics round out the month this Wednesday, January 30

If you're looking to get a Bat-story outside of DC's 'Death of the Family' storyline, check out this week's Batman and Robin Annual #1 by Peter J. Tomasi, Ardian Syaf, and Vincenter Cifuentes. Robin and Batman venture out on a globetrotting adventure to uncover family secrets that will change both of their lives. If you thought you knew Bruce before, you may want to read this issue. Don't worry because there is still a 'DotF' story in Teen Titans #16 by Lobdell and Booth. This issues mirrors the events of Red Hood and the Outlaws #16, following Jason Todd and Tim Drake as they fight to survive. Meanwhile, Arsenal takes control of the team in Red Robin's absence. And you won't want to miss this: the return of Raven! Green Lantern Corps Annual #1 by Tomasi and Chris Cross, features the culmination of the past months with the end of 'Rise of the Third Army!' The Guardians have shut down the Corps with the help of the Third Army, but the Will of the Green Lanterns is strong. This all leads into the next big Lantern event! Then, Aquaman #16 presents the penultimate chapter of 'Throne of Atlantis.' Aquaman is forced to make an impossible choice between the Ocean Master and the League, and the horrible force of destruction, the Trench, returns!

DC has several other titles this week outside of the New 52 Universe that are worth a look. Before Watchmen: Dollar Bill #1, by Len Wein and Steve Rude, expands upon the every growing history of Watchmen. This one-shot story focuses on Bill Brady, the Minuteman that wanted to be an actor. Wein looks at this book as a chance to shine a spotlight on a character that has only been known for the way he died. Before Watchmen: Ozymandias #5, by Wien, Higgins, and Jae Lee, continues Ozymandias' rise to power. Comics and video games fans eagerly anticipating DC's newest fighting game Injustice will want to read Injustice: Gods Among Us #1 by Tom Taylor and Jheremy Raapack. This prequel comic details all of the events leading up to the new game. The final issue of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #6 is out, and those of you enjoying the series should also read Masters of the Universe: Origin of He-Man #1, featuring the first battle between He-Man and Skeletor!

Marvel's hottest, newest, and best hero is back this week in Superior Spider-Man #2 by Dan Slott and Ryan Stegman. Spider-Man faces the all-new Sinister Six, and Peter Parker and Mary Jane are reunited! But will she like the new and "improved" Parker? The Avengers continue their hunt for Frank Castle in Punisher War Zone #4 as he tries to break Cole of of jail. For even more hard-hitting action, don't miss Punisher Nightmare #5, the final issue in the weekly miniseries by Scott Gimple and Mark Texeira. Several other notable titles include Avengers #4, Hawkeye #7, and Dark Avengers #186.



Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead, and Ryan Ottley celebrate the 10th anniversary of Invincible with issue #100! Mark Grayson's life as a superhero has led to this one moment. Will he be the hero the world needs or will be choose a different path? 'The Death of Everyone' comes to its shocking ending this issue, are you ready? IDW celebrates 50 years of Doctor Who with the new series Doctor Who, Prisoners of Time #1 by David Tipton and Simon Fraser. This 12-issue series will tell an epic story featuring all 11 incarnations of the time traveler known as the Doctor. And the Martians continue their assault on IDW Universe in Mars Attacks Zombies vs Robots One Shot.

The X-Force is back this Wednesday, January 23

Marvel has several hot new titles for readers to check out this week. Sam Humphries and Ron Garney bring back everyone's favorite do-whatever-it-takes X-team in Uncanny X-Force #1 NOW. The new book picks up six months after the final issue of the previous Uncanny X-Force series and the events of Avengers vs. X-Men. As the series goes on, Humphries and Garney will reveal what went on during those six-months that lead to the formation of the new X-Force: Storm, Psylocke, Cluster (one of Fantomex's three brains), Fantomex (another one of his brains), Puck, and Spiral. Delving into the darkest parts of the mutant universe, the new team will take on the tasks the regular X-Men fear and hate. First on their list: Bishop! 

For something a little lighter, check out Young Avengers #1 NOW by the critically acclaimed team of Gillen, McKelvie, Norton, and Wilson. These creators plan to reinvent the teen superhero comic with the cast of Wiccan, Hulkling, Hawkeye, Loki, Marvel Boy, and Ms. America! The first issue also features a variant cover by Scott Pilgrim's Bryan Lee O'Malley! And Cullen Bunn and Matteo Lolli take readers on a bizarre adventure in Deadpool Killustrated #1 that follows Deadpool as he kills his way through some of classic literature's most famous characters. A few other titles to look out for are Uncanny Avengers #3, Avengers #3, Deadpool #4, and several other great reads.

DC Comic's "Rise of the Third Army" event continues with three new Green Lantern titles this week. In Green Lantern #16, Simon Baz comes to face-to-face with his fellow Green Lantern, and the entire Corps faces extinction. Then, Green Lantern Corps #16 finds John and Fatality fighting for their lives against the Third Army as the Guardians continue on their warpath. And Kyle Rayner must master the spectrum of his Lantern powers to take on the invading army in Green Lantern New Guardians #16. Joker's evil plan to destroy the Bat proceeds in Nightwing #16, a"Death of the Family" tie-in issue. The long awaited Before Watchmen series continues this week with Minutemen #6, which concludes Darwyn Cooke and John Higgins's miniseries focusing on the original superhero team. Some other titles of note this week include Superboy Annual #1, Batwoman #16, Fables #125, JSA Liberty Files, The Whistling Skull #2, and others.

All of these great, new titles featured above and those listed below are available Wednesday, January 23 as soon as Dr. No's Comics and Games opens at 11 am. We look forward to seeing you!

Here comes the Savage Wolverine, Wednesday January 16

Marvel's newest book premieres this Wednesday with one of the comic industry's favorites as artist and writer. Frank Cho brings readers Savage Wolverine #1! Wolverine isn't a stranger to finding himself in strange places; this time he wakes in the Savage Land after being labeled as public enemy number one. The island harbors a deadly mystery that Wolverine must figure out before it kills him, and his only friend in this dangerous land is Shanna the She-Devil! Don't miss it, bub! Bendis continues redefining mutant future and past in All New X-Men #6, with artist David Marquez joining the book for three issues. In Captain America #3, Remender pits Cap against the barbarian lord of the Phrox, with the fate of the world up for grabs. The Superior Spider-Man teams up with Daredevil in Mark Waid's Daredevil #22, featuring the return of Stilt-Man! Christopher Yost and Paco Medina take the reins of Avenging Spider-Man #16 as the all new Superior Spider-Man teams up with Wolverine and the X-Men. Peter David kicks off the new 'Hell on Earth War' storyline in X-Factor #250; this is a story David has been building for the past 15 years (mentioning it all the way back in Hulk #418), but it will be told in such a way that readers not in the know will still enjoy the story!

DC's diabolical 'Death of the Family' continues this week in several Bat-titles. Batman and The Joker finally have their showdown in Arkham Asylum as the clown's plan is revealed in Batman #16 by Snyder and Capullo; plus, this issue's backup story reveals a glimpse of what started The Joker on his brutal assault of the Bat-family. Witness the wedding of Barbara Gordon and The Joker in Batgirl #16 by Simone and Benes. Then, has Damian meet his match in Batman and Robin #16? The Joker continues to break the Batman's son! Then, feeling the effects of their recent run-in with The Joker and several torturous missions, Amanda Waller regains control of her team in Suicide Squad #16.


Dynamite Entertainment presents Bionic Man vs Bionic Woman #1 by Keith Champagne and Jose Luis. While assisting the FBI with their hunt for a mysterious serial killer, Steve Austin-The Bionic Man-vanishes, and the only person capable of finding him is The Bionic Woman, Jamie Sommers! However, will they be friends or foes when their paths finally cross? IDW's martian powered event continues in Mars Attacks The Real Ghostbusters One Shot by Erik Burnham and Jose Holder. The Ghostbusters are up against a new threat when they are enlisted to save New Jersey from the martian threat. And The Will finally has a good day in Vaughan and Staples' Saga #9?

All of these great, new titles are available this Wednesday, January 9 as soon as Dr. No's Comics and Games opens at 11 am. We look forward to seeing you!

Star Wars and Superior Spider-Man lead the pack this Wednesday, January 9

Not so long from now in a comic shop very, very close by . . . Dark Horse comics presents one of their most anticipated books of 2013: Star Wars #1 by fan-favorite writer Brian Wood and artist Carlos D'anda. This is the Star Wars fans remember and love but presented with all new adventures following the destruction of the Death Star. Any thing can happen in a galaxy ruled over by the oppressive Emperor and his right hand, Darth Vader. Only the Rebels stand against the evil Empire with the help of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, and more of readers' favorite characters. Wood plans to make this a very character driven story (but don't worry, there are plenty of space battles!), with the premiere issue finding Leia in the cockpit of an X-Wing. To make things even better, the first issue features a beautiful cover by Alex Ross!

This is it folks! One of the most shocking Marvel events to date has all lead to this: an all new Spider-Man book for 2013! Superior Spider-Man #1 by Dan Slott and Ryan Stegman picks up where Amazing Spider-Man #700 (it actually replaces Amazing Spider-Man for readers keep tabs on their titles) and Avenging Spider-Man #15.1 left off. After the life changing events of the "Dying Wish" storyline, Peter Parker is a brand new person, literally. Otto Octavius has taken Parker's life and plans to be better in every way. He is smarter, stronger, superior. With a new book comes all new villains, but they better watch out because this Spider doesn't pull his punches. Don't miss this book!

Several of Marvel's hottest new titles continue this week, so let's take a look at what books you have to look forward to this Wednesday! Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic's Thor, God of Thunder #4 jumps readers thousands of years into the future when King Thor rules over a ruined Asgard as he battles against the God Butcher's legion of minions. In Thunderbolts #3, Daniel Way and Steve Dillon introduce a new member to the crew: Red Leader! Dennis Hopeless and Salvador Larroca reveal what Colossus has been up to since AvX in Cable and X-Force #3. Those looking to get more Frank Castle into your reading diets, look no further than Punisher Nightmare #2, by Scott Gimple and Mark Texeira, and Punisher War Zone #3, by Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto. And at long last, Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons' Secret Service #5 continues their amazing spy story that fans have been eagerly anticipating.

DC's "Death of the Family" continues in Detective Comics #16 by John Layman, Jason Fabok, and Andy Clarke. Batman and Penguin must make a deal that won't take long to come back and haunt them. Plus, Ignatius Ogivly has taken the Penguin's thrown and plans to rule the underworld in his place as the new Emperor Penguin! Then, "Rotworld: The Green Kingdom" moves towards its conclusion in Swamp Thing #16 by Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette. Swamp Thing can cleanse the Earth of the Rot, but will the sacrifice be too great? Also, discover the secret left by Batman in the ruins of Gotham. "Rotworld: The Red Kingdom" continues in Animal Man #16 by Jeff Lemire, Steve Pugh, and Timothy Green. Animal Man, Constantine, Steel, Black Orchid, Beast Boy, and Frankenstein and his patchwork army stand against Anton Arcane, but all of their powers combine may not be enough. Last but not least, Jeff Lemire's acclaimed Sweet Tooth series comes to an end this week with the release of issue #40!

A couple of other notable titles include the always thrilling Walking Dead #106 by Kirkman and Adlard, Clone #3 by Schulner and Juan Jose, Finding Gossamyr #3 by David Rodriguez and Sarah Ellerton, and Mars Attacks Kiss One Shot by Chris Ryall and Alan Robinson.

All of these great, new comics are available this Wednesday, January 9 as soon as Dr. No's Comics and Games opens at 11 am. We look forward to seeing you!
