A somewhat smaller week of the new comic releases. Few solid #1’s out this week by multiple publishers. With a good bunch of exclusives for Zatanna #1. FCBD & CGD around the corner, make sure you visit your LCS on May 2nd! Here are a few books that were handpicked by our content managers:
The Punisher #3D. Punisher making an end to Jigsaw once more. Written by Benjamin Percy and art by José Luis Soares Pinto, Jonas Trindade, Oren Junior and Frank D’Armata. With the Gerardo Sandoval variant being the one I will be picking up this week.
Hellboy in Love: Black Eyes #1. A cozy visit with retired B.P.R.D agents Archie and Margaret takes a chilly turn when Hellboy and Anastasia investigate the local ghost. Surely nothing will go wrong here right?
Generation X-23 #3C. Laura taken out by the new X-numbers! Can Scout (Gabby) find the allies needed to stop the death and destruction?! Find out with me this week! Definitely seems intriguing by the looks of it but this was a total cover buy pre-order :).

NCBD! Big comic week! No surprise to seeing this issue being the most populair title this week: Marvel and DC are teaming up with their Spider-Man / Superman crossover. Image is releasing 3 new #1’s. Here are a few books that were handpicked by our content managers:
Head Lopper #1 New volume, new heads that need to be rolling. Witness Andrew Maclean’s masterclass in kinetic action and dark humor. Looking forward to seeing what Andrew has in store for us with Norgal in 80 pages of comic-goodness.
Marvel / DC: Spider-Man / Superman #1. This has to be THE biggest crossover we’ve had in ages. Continuation from Superman / Spider-Man, has you exploring this crossover with multiple different characters across both publishers. Tons of covers, with the Peach Momoko being the most notable for me. Which cover or covers are you getting?

Another week, another NCBD. It’s no surprise here, that Absolute Batman #19 is the biggest book this week (as can be seen in our Most Wanted on Monday). No less than 54 different covers for this issue! Absolute craziness? Our content managers might even have to be send to Arkham Asylum after adding this many into Core. Don’t think we’re done yet. Image releasing their new series: Fireborn. A bit of a smaller week for Marvel… Here are a few books that were handpicked by our content managers:
Radiant Black #41 Are you caught up with this series? I sure am! Horizon is Chicago’s hero. Radiant Black needs Shift’s help to sneak into a lab that’s withholding secrets. Will they succeed?
Absolute Batman #19. This issue brings us the introduction of Slade Wilson, Scarecrow and the Robins within the Absolute universe. This should definitely be a solid after we know what were getting next issue.
Cheers, mate! After a bit of waiting, we’re back with a new issue of Redcoat #17. This should be a nice set up for what’s to come. I’m especially fond the Kyle Hotz cover!

Tracy talks about owning movies on disc, so it’s especially nice to hear that he uses CLZ Movies to keep his collection neatly organized!
