    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.

    ACTION COMICS #1014
    Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
    Artist: Szymon Kudranski
    Publisher: DC Comics
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: Lex Luthor comes home to Metropolis in this “Year of the Villain” tie-in issue! What does he have up his sleeve? Some very interesting offers for the woman behind the city’s invisible mafia…offers that no one could refuse! Plus, what is the secret of the Red Cloud? Ask Lex-he knows! Don’t miss this huge chapter in both “Year of the Villain” and EVENT LEVIATHAN!

    STACY: Bendis continues to prove his work as he spins a tale worthy of the ages. Action, mystery, suspense, its got a little of everything.

    ICE CREAM MAN #14
    Writer: W. Maxwell Prince
    Artist: Martin Morazzo
    Publisher: Image Comics
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: “DOWN AND ACROSS”: Solve this crossword puzzle and you just might save a man’s life.

    MATTHEW: I don’t know what this is gonna be, but I’m kind of dying to find out.

     

     

    LUMBERJANES #65
    Writer: Kat Leyh, Shannon Walters
    Artist: Ann Marie Rogers
    Cover Price: $3.99
    Release Date: August 28, 2019
    SOLICITATION: Emily of Zodiac is convinced that there’s an alien in the woods, but Jo isn’t so sure, so the two Cabins split up to look for clues! This might be just the chance Hes needs to get Mal alone and ask for some… relationship advice.

    CHRISTOPHER: Normally books like these aren’t my cup of tea but Lumberjanes is an exception. I don’t always pick it up but every once in a while I’ll binge a volume and am always satisfied. Seems like it is time for another binge session.

    MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #42
    Writer: Ryan Parrott
    Artist: Daniele Di Nicuolo
    Publisher: BOOM! Studios
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: NECESSARY EVIL continues as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers have returned-just in time to discover a secret that may tear apart the team!

    MATTHEW: The revelations about Zack, Trini and Jason alone make this series a must-read for Power Rangers fans, but it’s been a wild ride since the beginning.

     

    SERA AND THE ROYAL STARS #2
    Writer: Jon Tsuei
    Artist: Audrey Mok
    Publisher: Vault
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: After rescuing the Eye of the Bull, Sera returns to Parsa, only to discover it is no longer her home. Just when it seems war has stripped Sera of everything she holds dear, a surprising ally emerges. Together they set out to turn the tables on her uncle Shaheen’s invading forces.

    INGRID: Vault has some of the most interesting titles out there, and this is one of them. A strong and engaging heroine, a setting that is not one we see all the time, and the Royal Stars themselves – personifications of actual stars – come together in a rich story line. Top it off with drop-dead gorgeous art, and it’s a real winner!

    SHE-HULK ANNUAL #1
    Writer: Alexandra Petri
    Artist: Andy MacDonald
    Publisher: Marvel Comics
    Cover Price: $4.99
    SOLICITATION: ACTS OF EVIL! Bullseye being hired for an assassination? Just another Tuesday. But when he decides to pin it on She-Hulk? Bad idea. Strap in as everyone’s favorite lawyer-slash-Hulk, Jennifer Walters, takes on the mad marksman in a classic case of character defamation… with a heaping helping of SMASH.

    Plus: Robots! Why? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see…

    MATTHEW: She-Hulk always gets my money.

    STAR PIG #2
    Writer: Delilah Dawson
    Artist: Francesco Gaston
    Publisher: IDW Publishing
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: Like many late-21st-century teens, geeky 16-year-old Vess gets packed off to spend her summer at Space Camp—which is literally in space. Tragically, a shuttle accident sends her and the rest of the passengers careening toward a cold, frosty death among the stars. But when a gigantic, space-faring tardigrade miraculously rescues Vess and her beloved retro Discman, it’s the beginning of an extraordinary friendship and an incredible journey home, all set to the nostalgic tunes of Vess’ 1990s-heavy playlist.

    INGRID: Space adventures, aliens, 1990’s nostalgia, and a giant tardigrade – it’s a recipe for some crazy fun. And trust me – it does all work together! This is not a story you’ve read before and it’s a delight.

    TOMMY GUN WIZARDS #1
    Writer: Christian Ward
    Artist: Sami Kivela, Christian Ward
    Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
    Cover Price: $3.99
    Release Date: August 28, 2019
    SOLICITATION: Eliot Ness and his team of Untouchables work overtime taking on dangerous criminals that hide in the seedy underbelly of 1930s Chicago. Except in this world, Al Capone isn’t dealing in alcohol, but in magic. With Lick, a drug that grants magical powers to anyone who ingests it, mobsters become wizards, ordinary men become monsters, and darker secrets than Ness can imagine lie at the heart of it all.

    CHRISTOPHER: Urban fantasy is mixed with the 1930s crime scene. My interest in history and magic is met in a great amalgam that I cannot pass up this week!

    STEPHEN: This is a series that starts off with a band and doesn’t let up. I love the mix of magic and mundane, mobsters, and wizards. Definitely the must have book this week.

    TRANSFORMERS #11
    Writer: Brian Ruckley
    Artist: Angela Hernandex, Anna Malkova
    Publisher: IDW Publishing
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: Chromia and Windblade raid a Rise base in search for clues about the identity of Brainstorm’s murderer, only to be discovered-and the Rise isn’t happy. Meanwhile, Bumblebee sees his first bit of action as the Ascenticon Guard is called to defend a building under siege! 

As questions are answered, more mysteries abound! Who commands the Rise?

    STACY: The Transformers universe has always been large, but now we are filling in the spaces. Its great action and some great art.
