Jeff Lemire's Trillium and other great comics arrive Wednesday, August 7


The talented writer and artist Jeff Lemire launches a new Vertigo miniseries this Wednesday titled Trillium #1. In this flip-book, Lemire tells the story of two people separated by thousands of years but still managing to find each other and fall in love. In the year 3797, Nika Temsmith is a botanist studying a strange species in the outermost rim of civilized space on a isolated space station. In the year 1921, William Pike, a renowned English explorer, leads an expedition to find the mythical "Lost Temple of the Incas" said to have mysterious healing properties. Despite the span of time and space, the two will manage to fall in love and bring about the end of the universe while doing so. Don't miss the last love story ever to be told.

DC has some other titles on offer this week. In Green Arrow #23, Jeff Lemire handles writing duties while Andrea Sorrentino takes care of the art. Ollie will learn the origin of Shado, and Count Vertigo goes on the offensive. Continuing the green theme, Green Lantern #24, by Robert Venditti, Billy Tan and Richard Friend, finds Hal struggling with his new role as leader of the Green Lantern Corps, and an escaped prisoner finds enough power to make her a match for even the best Lantern. Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger #11, by J.M. DeMatteis and Fernando Blanco, is a 'Trinity War' tie-in issue this week. The key to ending the war between the Leagues may be tied to the soul of a murdered Justice League member, so the Phantom Stranger enlists the help of Batman, Deadman and Katana to cross over to the afterlife. One small problem, the Stranger isn't allowed to go there anymore!

Marvel's AoU fallout proceeds this Wednesday in Hunger #2 by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Leonard Kirk. The newly formed cosmic entity created from the Gah Lak Tua swarm merging with Galactus has one thing on its mind: hunger! The Ultimate Universe's Silver Surfer sets off to warn the entire galaxy of death's arrival. More cosmic trouble is brewing in Avengers #17 by Jonathan Hickman and Leinil Francis Yu. The final part of 'Prelude to INFINITY' is here, and the Avengers must recruit more members to stand against the coming threat. For something a little different, experience what it's like to be in the sites of Spider-Man in Superior Spider-Man #15 as Phil Urich, the Hobgoblin, faces what may be his final days. For more Superior stories, don't miss Superior Foes of Spider-Man #2 and Superior Carnage #2. Then, in Kick-Ass 3 #2 by Mark Millar and John Romita, Kick-Ass leads the new Justice Forever team but everything is not going as smooth as he'd like. To make matters worse, Hit-Girl is still in jail and a new foe makes an appearance.

Image Comics and J. Michael Straczynski launch the new series Sidekick #1, with art by Tom Mandrake. The Cowl and his sidekick Flyboy are beloved heroes until a horrible tragedy: The Cowl is assassinated. Now, Flyboy is on his own, and he's discovered the only reason anyone took him seriously was because The Cowl was around. Now, mocked by those he once protected, Flyboy slowly descends into madness, darkness and crime.
