New This Week: June 7, 2006

De:TALESBased on the NCRL list for this week's comics shipping from Diamond, here are a few things to look for at the local comic shop tomorrow:


Without a doubt the Pick of the Week is De:TALES, the anthology by Fábio Moon & Gabriel Bá, the brothers who seem to turn everything their pencils touch into gold. I know I lead you astray a couple of weeks ago with Buckaroo Bonzai, but you'll have to trust me that sight unseen I think this will be well worth your $14.95.

Archie have a new issue of Sabrina (#76).

Boom! debut Tag.

Dark Horse have BPRD: Universal Machine #3.

DC collect the first five issues of DMZ; put of a second Majestic collection; debut the new Wonder Woman; Kick off their movie tie-ins with Superman Returns: Krypton to Earth; and have new issues of 52 (week 5), Jonah Hex (#8), JSA (#86), Justice League Unlimited (#22), and Y, the Last Man (#46).

Evil Twin have their first Action Philosophers collection. For only 7 bucks you'll learn something and be entertained.

Fantagraphics have a new issue of Luba's Comics & Stories (#8).

IDW have the Angel Spotlight: Wesley one-shot.
