New Releases for the Week of 6-3-2015
Huge, fun week as DC starts their Divergence relaunch and even more sweet Secret Wars titles come out. Summer is here!
Here’s the featured new releases coming out this Wednesday June 3rd, 2015
Divergence and DC #1’s
Let’s give DC Comics the pull position as this is their fist week out of the box with five new number one’s and a bunch of great stating points.
New number one’s this week include:
Batman Beyond #1
Bat-Mite #1
Bizarro #1 (Both Bat-Mite and Bizarro are two all ages books we’ve really been looking forward too!)
Midnighter #1
Omega Men #1.
Here’s a checklist to the new Divergence titles coming out this week. File customers and just print it out and turn it in at the shop to make sure they don’t miss anything.
Even the core ongoing titles are great starting points, such as:
Action Comics #41
Green Arrow #41
Green Lantern #41 (start of the Renegade story line, with Hal on the run as a fugitive)
Justice League #41 (Beginning of the next big thing from DC, The Darkseid War story line)
Lobo #7
We’ve also got some cool giveaways to go with the new titles, including a free DC Divergence Preview Book, Bat-Mite Tattoos, Batman Beyond Paper Masks and Justice League Posters. There will be twelve different give-a-ways during the month of June, so collect all twelve!
Secret Wars
Secret Wars has been off the charts, with literally every series selling out. Make sure you’ve got everything you want on your pull list so you don’t leave the shop sad and empty handed!
This week in addition to Secret Wars issue #3, we’ve got:
Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows #1, A throw back to when Peter and Mary Jane were married by Adam Kubert and Dan Slott. Destined to become one of the top Secret Wars titles. Great cover, and it looks like they have a kid to tug at your heart strings.
Armor Wars #1 (set after the classic story line where Tony Stark rules all and everyone has to wear and armor.)
Future Imperfect #1 (a throwback to the Peter David’s Dystopian Hulk book)
Giant Size Little Marvel AVX #1
Skottie Young writes and draws this world of little Marvels.
X-Tinction Agenda #1 (the aftermath of the first true Marvel X-Men event in the 90’s)
Years of Future Past #1 (the continuation of one of the greatest X-Men tales ever, Days of Future Past)
Remember, this isn’t a crossover event, this is the Marvel Universe now.
Star Wars
If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’re in luck this week too. Three new issues will be coming out, Star Wars #6, Darth Vader #6 and Princess Leia #4.
Do you know there’s a Lando mini series coming out soon?
Young Gotham
Lastly, DC expects to do well with their “Tween” titles in graphic novel form, so they’ve created a 64 page promo book with three first issues for only $1.00!
The Young Gotham Sampler will feature the first issues of Gotham Academy #1, Grayson #1 and Batgirl #35 (the first Babs Tarr issue.) Grab a copy and pass it on to someone you think will enjoy it. (Or just enjoy it yourself!)
We’ll also have a full complement of other books coming out, including lots of great small press titles. (But again, it’s summer, and it’s hard to compete with the big two when it’s warm out.)
That’s it and we look forward to seeing you at the shop!
