All aboard the NCBD train!
Earth. Fire. Wind. Water. Heart. With their powers combined, they summon Earth’s greatest champion: Captain Planet. But they need to learn to trust each other first. Gaia, the latest High Priestess of the Earth has been kidnapped! Our Planeteers are forced to come together against the newly formed might of Lucian Plunder! Even with Captain Planet on their side, will it be enough to save the very Earth itself? Find out in: Captain Planet #1, Written by David Pepose, art by Eman Casallos.
Fantastic Four Fanfare #1 In this special, full-color anthology series, each issue focuses on a particular member of the team! For this inaugural outing, Mark Waid and Ramon Rosanas depict an escalating prank war between the Human Torch and the Thing, Alan Davis sends the team into hazards deep underground, Andrew Wheeler and Sara Pichelli reveal what happens when the Mole Man interrupts Johnny Storm’s star-making turn on reality television!
Set in a far future where Earth has integrated alien species into a new society, Blood & Thunder #1 plays by a whole new set of rules… and a whole load of new crimes to solve. Bounty hunter Akeldama “Blood” Bledsoe and her cantankerous talking gun, Thunder, are the best there is at bringing in the bad guys. However, when the galaxy’s most dangerous criminal breaks out of prison, Blood’s hunt delivers her down a path that will unlock secrets about her past, present, and future… and that’s when things get REALLY BAD.
Happy Reading!
