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 later today:
The Pick of the Week is IDW's trade collection of
Grimjack: Killer Instinct, a great return to the classic 80s character by original creators John Ostrander & Tim Truman. If you like fun & gritty action, this is the comic for you.
In other comics:
Antarctic have a new issue of
Ninja High School (#133).
Archie have a new issue of
Sabrina (#71).
DC have the fourth
Losers collection,
Close Quarters; a first collection of the recent
Manhunter series; a collection of the started-interesting-and-with-potential-but-rapidly-went-downhill-and-never-resolved-anything
IC-build-up mini
Day of Vengeance; the debuts of Brian Wood & Riccardo Burchielli's
DMZ and the latest
Danger Girl mini,
Back in Black; new issues of
100 Bullets (#66),
Action Comics (#833),
Majestic (#11), and
Y, the Last Man (#39); the second issue of
Infinite Crisis; and
Gotham Central #37, which is oddly an
IC tie-in, but also has guest art by Steve Lieber, so I'm sure that it will look good and I hold out hope that Rucka will be able to pull off the crossover...
Del Rey have the third volume of
Genshiken.
DR Masters have the fourteenth volume of
Iron Wok Jan.
Fantagraphics have a new issue of
Luba's Comics & Stories (#6).
iBooks have Joe Kubert's new OGN,
Jew Gangster: A Father's Admonition.
It's trade collection day from IDW, as in addition to the aforementioned
Grimjack: Killer Instinct, the also have collections of
24,
CSI: Secret Identity,
The Complete Jon Sable, Freelance (vol. 3), and the hardcover
The Complete Clive Barker Thief of Always.
Image have a new issue of
The Walking Dead (#23).
Marvel have the
Fantastic Four Wedding Special, and new issues of
The Book of Lost Souls (#2),
Drax the Destroyer (#3),
New Thunderbolts (#15) (and a second
New Thunderbolts collection too), and
The Pulse (#12).
NBM have the third
Hardy Boys OGN,
Mad House.
Shanda Fantasy Arts have a new issue of
Shanda the Panda (#44).
Viz have the fifth volume of
Doubt.
And finally, Marvel also have the
Maximum Fantastic Four volume of extreme Kirby minutae. I mean, I'm kind of inerested in what a book that delves so deeply into one comic will look like, but not $50 interested. Is anyone getting this?
