New This Week: April 27, 2005

Based 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:

The Pick of the Week is one of my favorite comics, Gary Spencer Millidge's StrangeHaven #17 from Abiogenesis. Although since the trade collecting #13-18 will be out sometime this summer if you haven't yet read any StrangeHaven you may want to instead pick up the first two trade collections and go that route.


In other comics:

Abstract have issue #73 of Strangers in Paradise.

AiT/PlanetLAR have another OGN, Filler.

Antarctic have the third Neotopia pocket collection, plus Fred Perry stepping in for the first of three Ninja High Schools (#127).

Archie have a new issue of Sabrina (#66)

Dark Horse have the third volume of Club 9 and a new issue of The Escapist (#6).

DC have new issues of Hellblazer (#207), Legion of Super-Heroes (#5), Losers (#23), Otherworld (#2); Howard Chaykin in Solo (#4); and the final issues of Wild Girl (#6) & Human Target (#21).

IDW have the first issue of the new Jon Sable, Freelance series, Bloodline.

Image have the third and final Rising Stars collection and the promo-priced Invincible #0.

Marvel have new issues of Captain America (#5), Daredevil (#72), Kabuki (#4), The Punisher (#20), Spellbinders (#2), and Supreme Power (#16).

NBM have the Cryptozoo Crew Mothman Con Edition.

Pantheon have Marjane Satrapi's new GN, Embroideries.

And both TokyoPop & Viz have a ton of new manga volumes; dollar for dollar I think that they both have more product than Marvel or DC this week.
