IT’S NEW COMIC BOOK DAY! #NCBD
The best day of the week just got a lot better with a new round of awesome comics arriving in stores this week. Staff members at Major Spoilers are here to help you with your comic book selection this week, with their roundup of comics they recommend.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #21
Writer: Dan Slott, Cristos Gage
Artist: Giuseppe Camuncoli
Publisher: Marvel
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: CLONE CONSPIRACY TIE-IN! THE RETURN OF CARRION puts the Scarlet Spider in BIG TROUBLE! Where has Kaine been since SPIDER-VERSE and what does he have to do with the Jackal’s plan?!
STEPHEN: I’ve been quite surprised at how good the Clone Conspiracy is, so picking up Amazing Spider-Man #21 is probably a good choice for this week’s pull list.
ATOMIC ROBO AND THE TEMPLE OF OD #4
Writer: Brian Clevinger
Artist: Scott Wegener
Publisher: IDW Publishing
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: Look if Trump just got elected, we’re all doomed. Not even an atomic robot, his trusty team of scientists, or odic warriors can help us now. We are done for. So drown your sorrows in this, what will be one of the last pieces of cultural ephemera created by mankind in this, the twilight hour.
STEPHEN: By now, if you don’t know that you should be reading Atomic Robo in all chapters and tales, I don’t know what else to tell you. A series that started in obscurity and climbed its way to a big publisher is a big deal, and it is a great read. Pick up as many back issues and trades of this arc as you can.
BATMAN #11
Writer: Tom King
Artist: Mikel Janin
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $2.99
SOLICITATION: “I am Suicide,” part three! Plunging into the belly of the beast, Batman and his team of misfits infiltrate Santa Prisca. Betrayal and savagery unfold as Batman races to steal Bane’s prized possession…and not everyone will make it out alive.
WAYNE: Batman versus Bane! This always gets my attention!
CYBORG #5
Writer: John Semper Jr.
Artist: Scott Hanna, Allan Jefferson
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $2.99
SOLICITATION: “THE IMITATION OF LIFE,” part six! Led by Silas Stone, S.T.A.R. Labs takes drastic measures to decommission Cyborg! Confound inside his immobile body, Cyborg seeks help from an unlikely ally who, with help of virtual Victor, must break into S.T.A.R. Labs to reactive Cyborg.
WAYNE: This comic is a favorite of mine, so it’s highly recommended! I love what is being done with the main character!
INVINCIBLE #131
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Cory Walker
Publisher: Image Comics
Cover Price: $2.99
SOLICITATION: Mark just wants to live a quiet life with his family and be happy… but that would be a boring comic book series.
STEPHEN: The series is coming to a close, and the final issue will be here before we know it. Get in on the final arc now – there’s never a bad time to get in on Invincible.
JUSTICE LEAGUE #9
Writer: Bryan Hitch
Artist: Neil Edwards, Daniel Henriques
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $2.99
SOLICITATION: “OUTBREAK,” part two! The Justice League is under attack from an unseen foe with a vendetta against Earth’s greatest heroes-someone with the power to reprogram Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz’s Green Lantern rings to kill any member of the Justice League.
WAYNE: I’m enjoying this series quite a bit. It’s not Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, granted, but it’s still truly engaging!
