New This Week: May 18, 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 The Losers: Trifecta, the third collected edition of Andy Diggle & Jock's Vertigo series. More black-ops on the run with that wonderful Jock artwork.


In other comics:

Aeon have the penultimate issue of Matt Howarth's Bugtown mini (#5).

Antarctic have the penultimate issues Ben Dunn's Heaven Sent (#10) and Fred Perry's mini-run on Ninja High School (#128).

Dark Horse have a new issue of The Goon (#12) and the fourth volume of Samurai Executioner.

DC continue to piss off manga porn fans with the second volume of Tenjho Tenge. They also have new issues of Authority: Revolution (#8), Birds of Prey (#82), Ex Machina (#11), JLA Classified (#7), Lucifer (#62), Manhunter (#10), Plastic Man (#16), and Seven Soldier: Guardian (#2); the debut of a new regular creative team on Superman (#217); and a new Green Lantern Secret Files.

Image have the final issue of Lions, Tigers & Bears (#4) and new collections of Rex Mundi (vol. 2), and The Walking Dead (vol. 3).

Marvel have trades for New Thunderbolts (vol. 1) and Powers (vol. 8), and a new issue of New Thunderbolts (#8).

Oni have the collection of Sam Kieth's Ojo.

TokyoPop have a ton of manga releases. None appeal to me, although I understand that many enjoy Fruits Basket and will want to pick up vol. 9.
