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.

BATMAN #47
Writer: Tom King
Artist: Sandu Florea
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $2.99
SOLICITATION: “THE TRAVELERS” part three! As Booster Gold, Batman and Catwoman zero in on the time anomaly, what they find and their actions to correct it will have ramifications on all of the DC Universe. Tom King and Master Class artist Tony S. Daniel end their first story with a bang that will tee up the next big development in the Batman/Catwoman romance.

WAYNE: If you’re not reading Batman, you’re just reading comics! Seriously, Mr. King and Company are doing a tremendous job, so highly recommended!

BUBBA HO-TEP & COSMIC BLOOD-SUCKERS #1
Writer: Joshua Jabcuga
Artist: Tadd Galusha
Publisher: IDW Publishing
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: From the mind of creator Joe R. Lansdale comes a prequel to the cult-classic film! President Nixon has discovered an alien threat, and he knows there’s only one man he can reach out to for help: Elvis Presley. But will Elvis be enough to defeat a horde of Cosmic Blood-Suckers?

STEPHEN: If you have been waiting for the sequel to Bubba Ho-Tep, this is probably as close as you are going to get, and you better believe, I’m going to grab this book today and read the heck out of it. I hope it is good.

DAREDEVIL #602
Writer: Charles Soule
Artist: Mike Henderson
Publisher: Marvel
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: The fallout from the shocking conclusion of DAREDEVIL #600 continues as Matt Murdock and Daredevil both rally allies in the face of an overwhelming enemy. And how exactly does Wilson Fisk fit into things? Not the way you expect… Rated T+

WAYNE: Daredevil is my favorite Marvel series right now, and Mr. Soule is going where Matt has never been before! It’s great!

FUTURE QUEST PRESENTS #10
Writer: Rob Williams
Artist: Aaron Lopresti
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: Young Dorno has grown to adulthood, but he quickly finds that it comes with challenges he may not be able to handle, like the imminent death of his planet, Amzot, and the menace that the trickster Animan has brought to his parents!

MATTHEW: I’m still holding out hope that this series can be saved if we all just buy ‘em up. Who’s with me?

WAYNE: The Herculoids used to be a Saturday morning favorite, and now they are some of my favorite stores in comics! Don’t miss this one!

THE MIGHTY THOR: GATES OF VALHALLA #1
Writer: Jason Aaron
Artist: Ramon K. Perez, Jen Bartel
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: THE LAST GOODBYE! “The Death of the Mighty Thor” has come and gone. But Jane Foster’s power to inspire lives on – even in the far future! Don’t miss the tribute to Jason Aaron’s epic tale of Thor and the mighty hammer Mjolnir, drawn by rising star Jen Bartel!

And with or without a Thor, the War of Realms continues. As Malekith’s power grows, the realms will fall – and who is left to stop him? Eisner Award-winning artist Ramón Pérez kicks off the next stage of Jason Aaron’s ongoing saga.

MATTHEW: I don’t know where this story can go from here, but I do know I’m very much wanting to find out. And I’ll miss Jane/Thor.

YOU ARE DEADPOOL #3
Writer: Al Ewing
Artist: Salva Espin
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: DID YOU EVER WANT TO BE DEADPOOL??? Now’s your chance! This weekly series is not JUST the most amazing comic book you’ve ever read…it’s also a role-playing adventure! YOU decide what choices Deadpool makes! YOU keep track of your scores issue by issue! YOU roll dice to combat various foes! Travel through Marvel history as Deadpool to meet Hulk in the swinging ’60s! To smell Man-Thing in the swampy ’70s! To be “seen” by Daredevil in the hard-boiled ’80s! And avoid the many BAD ENDINGS you could fall into…or suffer the consequences!

MATTHEW: Two amazing issues in a row mean this one is a must-buy for me.
