Not a ton of new periodical releases this week, and SIX SIDEKICKS OF TRIGGER KEATON looks the most promising to me, and as a perverse person, I'll go with the over of CHERRY BLACKBIRD as wanting me to take a look. On the book side, there are multiple Geoff Darrow stories coming back to print this week, but I have to give the edge to MIGHTY MMW AMAZING SPIDER-MAN GREAT POWER GN TP which is the first 10 issues of 1962's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (plus AMAZING FANTASY #15) for a measly $16. Knowing Marvel this will go out of print before the end of the year, so snap it up while you can, sez Hibbs! There's a lot of other comics coming out this week, all behind the jump….what looks good to YOU?

Another sterling week of comical books! The lead book is almost certainly James Tynion's THE NICE HOUSE ON THE LAKE -- what a swell read! This week also starts the X-Men "Gala" crossover with three tie-in releases. Finally, we're pretty up for the newest Katie O'Neill book with TEA DRAGON TAPESTRY, scrummy! But that's just the least of it, so much more below the cut.... what looks good to YOU??

This week is a special week because we've finally got what is likely the Book of the Year: Barry Windsor-Smith's MONSTERS (watch our interview with Mr. Windsor-Smith on Sunday 4/18 at 10 am PST here: https://youtu.be/yY6HwW1bQYE). Also looking pretty great is LOCKE & KEY SANDMAN HELL & GONE #1 and HOME #1. So much other great stuff too, under the cut -- what looks good to YOU?

The first week of comics of our 33rd year in business is a nice week of comic-y goodness! The lead book is probably GEIGER from Geoff Johns & Gary Frank, but lots of folks are excited about Boom!'s MAGIC THE GATHERING comic, and who doesn't want a return to Evan Dorkin & Sarah Dyer's BEASTS OF BURDEN? Plus, finally back in print for the first time since 1986 (but without Alan Moore's name on it, for some reason?) is the amazing comics deconstruction masterpiece IN PICTOPIA. Sooooo much more below the jump... what looks good to YOU?

There's a ton of things arriving this week, but few brand new issue #1 periodicals. But that makes it super easy to name DELICATES by Brenna Thummler our pick of the week, her follow up to the incredible SHEETS. Or maybe you want to read Gene Luen Yang who starts his run on BATMAN SUPERMAN with a super classic take on the characters. Or you want something artsy? RED ROCK BABY CANDY by Shira Spector is the clear choice. So so so much more below the cut.... what looks good to YOU??

Diverse new week of books! The lead story would look to be a new Grant Morrison joint with PROCTOR VALLEY ROAD, but Guillem March's KARMEN looks neat, and we're adoring the Global Citizen GN line which has a new release with WHAT UNITES US from Dan Rather and company, and, ooh! Mariko Tamaki and Gurihiru doing THOR / LOKI DOUBLE TROUBLE? Yes, please! So so so much more below the cut... what looks good to YOU?

Due to the Winter storms impacting national shipping logistics we're genuinely not sure when this week's comics will actually arrive -- as of Monday AM at 10:30 PST, our weekly shipment hasn't even been picked up yet, which would usually signify a Thursday-at-the-earliest New Comics Day (NCD), but there's not a lot of hard evidence of what this week will bring for sure! It is possible that we might even recieve nothing this week and a double shipment next week -- your guess is as good as ours! Your local comic store (including us!) still has bills and staff to pay, so maybe figure out a way to give them your patronage even when we don't have the NCD shipment.

This week our #1 recommendation is the "Master Edition" of FROM HELL, now in full color. Absolutely anyone loving comics should have this in thier library. For new periodical comics, take a look at CHASING THE DRAGON, STRAY DOGS, and MARVEL VOICES: LEGACY. But there is SO much else hidden down behind the cut! So what looks good to YOU?
