It’s November Comic Shop Friends! Now that Halloween is over, I’m ready to start thinking about Thanksgiving, how about you? You’re probably wondering what we have coming up this month. Read on!

MARVEL COMICS

You first saw her on season two of Marvel’s What If…? Now she makes her comic book debut in this special Marvel Voices one-shot! Featuring three stories by Ryan Little and Todd Harris, Arihhonni “Honni” David and David Cutler, and Kelly Lynne D’Angelo and Jim Terry. With an introduction by Ryan Little about how Kahhori came to be, and an interview with Devery Jacobs, the voice actor for the character. After her adventures on What If…?, Kahhori has returned to her world, but with others learning about the Space Stone power contained in Sky World, it’s not long before a Loki appears to steal the power. Now, Kahhori is thrown into the 616 and with the help of Daredevil, Echo, and Moon Knight, she may be able to stop Loki before he destroys all of their worlds!

The TVA is about to erase Negasonic Teenage Warhead for a crime she has yet to commit! She’s forced to go on the run, gather a team of the smartest and strongest women in the Marvel Universe (and Deadpool!), and kiss her girlfriend, Yuki! All in one hour! Except Negasonic in the present has never even met Yuki and the fate of an entire universe hinges on their relationship. What’s a Teenage Warhead to do? Collecting the Infinity Comics web series for the first time, with another brand-new story! Written by Andrew Wheeler, with art by Eleonora Carlini and Carola Borelli.

DC COMICS

Better get ready to ask for a second print, because we’re about to be sold out before Wednesday! Thanks to those of you who took our recommendation and added it to your pull already! (You only have yourself to blame if you miss out, because we’ve been talking about this one for a while now.) Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval’s new take on Superman is another great entry in DC’s Absolute Universe. On this version of Krypton the Science League are the ruling class, and Superman’s parents “were not among them.” His mother, Lara, was labeled unruly when she criticized Krypton’s lack of funding for interstellar travel. His father, Jor-El, was forced into the Labor Class after giving a graduation speech condemning environmental recklessness. These are the people of Steel. These are Superman’s people. After the destruction of Krypton, he finds himself on another dying planet, Earth, alone and working the mines of Brazil. Is he just a transient just trying to help others? Or is he one of the rumored Omega Men the Peacemakers and the Lazarus Corp are trying to suppress? Can he save this planet from itself? Or will Earth end up as another Krypton?

Continuing on from the Merry Little Batman movie, it’s Little Batman Month One! Gotham City is recovering from the Joker’s attack, and Little Batman, aka Damian Wayne, is preparing for whatever comes next. But what comes next is mingling. At the kids table. Bruce wants him to learn the importance of being Damian, but when the Wayne New Year’s Eve party is crashed by some suspicious guests, it’s up to Little Batman to find the balance between both his personas and save the day! Written by Morgan Evans, with art by Jon Mikel.

SMALL PRESS COMICS

Yay new Kelly Sue DeConnick! With the new series FML, she teams up with artist David Lopez to take us to a familiar, yet more metal and more witchy Portland. With war, wildfires, and a pandemic raging, metal fan Riley, his goth younger sister, and his former Riot Grrrl mom are trying to navigate life. He’s trying to balance high school and band practice with his weirdo friends, Savvy, Glory, and Lydia. Their band, STFU, gets a chance to play at Heavyfest, but they may lose their shot when they perform a spell from a zine, and things get even weirder for Riley. The creatures, witchcraft, and metal he fills his notebooks with may be a bit closer to home than he’d like. Keep reading as we, as DeConnick says, “pick apart the unprocessed trauma festering beneath our skins, the promise of the misfit, and the perilous power of the stories we whisper in the dark.”

Jamie McKelvie’s first solo creator owned project in over a decade starts this week from DSTLRY! Set in London 1900, One For Sorrow is a supernatural suspense thriller, with action, revenge, and a ghostly mystery. A mysterious figure stalks the city’s criminal underworld, leaving corpses and a black and white feather calling card. Who is The Magpie Killer? Is it a demon? A phantom? An angel of vengeance? Three people, from different walks of life, and strangers to each other, may together have the answer. There’s Ignatious Thorn, a famous detective now retired after a horrific tragedy. Bess Turner, an East End barmaid with a gift for eavesdropping. The Russian spiritual medium, Madame Hendrikov, with an upper-class clientele searching for the secrets of the dead. What ties them, and the Magpie, together? This is a story packed first issue, with a great reveal, and well worth picking up!
