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.
BANE CONQUEST #3 (of 12)
Writer: Chuck Dixon
Artist: Graham Nolan
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: Sure, they may have had to team up to escape Damocles’ clutches – but Batman and Bane can’t keep their hands off each others’ throats for long! The question is, will Damocles be able to use that rivalry to his advantage?
WAYNE: Ah, reading a book by Mr. Dixon and Mr. Nolan again! It doesn’t get much better than this! Highly recommended!
BATMAN #26
Writer: Tom King
Artis: Mikel Janin
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $2.99
SOLICITATION: “THE WAR OF JOKES AND RIDDLES” part two! The Riddler and The Joker escalate their bloody feud, and the villains of Gotham City are forced to choose sides or be caught in the crossfire! It’s up to Batman to push himself to the limit and keep innocent citizens out of harm’s way.
STEPHEN: While part one gave us a setup, I expect the story will really kick into high gear this week in Batman #26. Really looking forward to what Tom King brings to the table, especially after last week’s Batman Elmer Fudd Special.
WAYNE: When Mr. King started out on Batman, I wasn’t all that impressed. I do have to say, though, that I think he’s really upped his game since then, so I’m happy to once again highly recommend this title!
CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA #7
Writer: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
Artist: Robert Hack, Jack Morelli
Publisher: Archie Comics
Cover Price: $4.99
SOLICITATION: THE HORROR ADVENTURES OF SABRINA RETURN! Learn the haunting back story of Sabrina’s father, Edward Spellman.
STEPHEN: OMG! I can’t believe the series is back for a new issue. If you have never read the chilling/scary/horror tales from the late 60s and early 70s, then grab Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #7 and relive the good ol’ days today!
DOC SAVAGE RING OF FIRE #4
Writer: David Avallone
Artist: Dave Acosta
Publisher: Dynamite Entertainment
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: Chapter Four: Phoenix in Flight! John Sunlight wants to light up the Ring of Fire, causing havoc and destruction all along the West Coast. Can Doc Savage and Amelia Earhart stop him in time? Catch the apocalyptic climax of Avallone and Acosta’s DOC SAVAGE: RING OF FIRE!
STEPHEN: It all comes together this week as Amelia Earhart and Doc Savage try to stop John Sunlight (it’s always John Sunlight even though the character appeared in only two Doc Savage books). This story has been mind blowing since the very beginning, so why would you want to miss out on the end?
INJUSTICE 2 #5
Writer: Tom Taylor
Artist: Bruno Redondo, Juan Albarran
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $2.99
SOLICITATION: Batman pays a visit to Ted Kord, beseeching him to become part of the team that rebuilds the world – not as Blue Beetle, but as Ted Kord, inventor and industrialist. But Batman’s not the only one who has designs on Ted. A trusted old friend pops in, as does someone else – someone with less noble intentions.
WAYNE: I’ve recommended this comic to many friends, and they’re always wowed by it! Of course, you should read it from the beginning to get the full effect, but I think you’d still love this title without that. Hey, I’ve never played the video game, and I still love this book! Excellent storytelling!
