It’s NCBD once again!
Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone #1 What’s going on inside the Deadzone?! Find out in the second book of the Kai-Sei era, IDW’s new connected Godzilla universe!
Inside the new IDW Godzilla universe, there exists a mystery larger than any other… what is the Deadzone? Inhabitants of this new world know the Deadzone to be a walled-off portion of the Pacific Northwest, sequestered after the most disastrous Godzilla attack the country has ever faced. The government would have its citizens believe that nothing is still alive inside the Deadzone… but do you believe that?
There are stories of a man. Or rather… a half kaiju, half man… who travels freely throughout the Deadzone. Some say he can even kill a kaiju. Some say… he’s not the only of his kind.
Hellgate has arrived and now, Spider-man’s shocking defeat! Battered and broken, Spider-Man needs to level up if he’s going to survive the next round. Peter Parker is a different man following Hellgate’s revelation. But Mary Jane Watson has a revelation of her own to share! And the first foes to put Spidey’s strength to the test are Shocker and his new allies, the Aftershocks! The Amazing Spider-Man #9
Melody Nelson and Jesse Harmon fell in love long ago in the tiny town of Perennial Harbor, but since they parted ways, that place has grown stranger and stranger… Everything is just as it was decades ago, and the strained smiles of its residents mask a bizarre secret.
When Melody’s life begins to unravel and she finds herself slipping backward in time, she must uncover the truth behind this mystery before it destroys her… And the only one she’s ever cared for. Blink and You’ll Miss It #1
Happy reading!
