ADVENTURE FINDERS #5 (OF 5)
Writer: Rod Espinosa
Artist: Rod Espionosa
Publisher: Action Lab Entertainment
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: Having escaped the pursuing orcs and ogres, Clari’s group now turns to survival. There is food to be foraged and a hundred babies and their nursemaids have to be fed constantly! When other heroes shirk this humble responsibility of feeding refugees, Clariette and her friends take it on with eagerness and passion. Their foraging takes them deeper into the Green Shroud. Something watches them. Clari climbs the top of a huge hill hoping to locate where they are… and that is when things get really interesting!
CHRISTOPHER: I’ve been waiting for this particular issue for a while and glad to see it finally hit shelves. Clari is learning the grim reality of war and self sacrifice. I want to see her development as she leaves this trial and heads into the next one.
BANG! #1
Writer: Matt Kindt
Artist: Wilfredo Torres
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: Matt Kindt! Wilfredo Torres! A best-of-the-best secret agent with memories he couldn’t possibly possess, a mystery writer in her 60s who spends her retirement solving crimes, a man of action with mysterious drugs that keep him ahead of a constant string of targeted disasters, a seemingly omnipotent terrorist organization that might be behind it all . . . And they’re all connected to one man: a science-fiction author with more information than seems possible, whose books may hold the key to either saving reality or destroying it. A mind-bending story that ties in with past Kindt works (Revolver). Action, mystery, and altered reality!
INGRID: Matt Kindt can write some really mind-bending stuff. And look at this fascinating blend of character types – it’s like a mashup of several different tropes that you wouldn’t think could go together. I am definitely intrigued!
STEPHEN: I was very surprised, amused, and a bit confused after reading this book for the Major Spoilers Podcast. That being said, I think this is one of those ground floor moments you’ll want to get in on.
BITTER ROOT #6
Writer: David F. Walker & Chuck Brown
Artist: Sanford Greene
Publisher: Image Comics, Inc.
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: The critically acclaimed series returns!
Loved ones once thought lost forever have returned, though the bliss of this family reunion doesn’t last for long. Cullen has changed, and everyone is concerned. But they’ll need all the help they can get, as a new threat has arrived on Earth…
INGRID: One of the best series of 2019 is back! It left off on a cliffhanger – and the discovery of some missing members of the Sangerye family. The summer one-shot gave us background on several crucial characters. And now they’re back, fighting Jinoo, helping people out, and starting to realize that the threat is more than just a few hate-consumed individuals.
CATALYST PRIME: SEVEN DAYS #5 (OF 7)
Writer: Gail Simone
Artist: Jose Luis and Jonas Trindade
Publisher: Lionforge Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: DAY FOUR: With the world going to hell in a hand basket a new hero emerges to help with the growing chaos. But heroes can’t stop people from leaving their jobs, posts at the border and choosing to spend time with their families instead. The world is ending after all, and how are you going to spend it?
CHRISTOPHER: This whole miniseries has been intense, clever, and interesting. The cast of characters are incredibly diverse and watching them come together against the threat is vivid and impactful. Looking forward to this issue.
MARVEL’S VOICES #1
Writer: Vita Ayala and Various
Artist: Brian Stelfreeze and Various
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Cover Price: $4.99
SOLICITATION: THE WORLD OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW!
Marvel’s acclaimed podcast series focusing on telling the stories of diverse creators and their unique perspectives becomes a one shot of brand new adventures! The X-Men find their place in the world after declaring a new nation! Killmonger strikes! Moon Girl and Devil Dino return!
CHRISTOPHER: I like the idea of this and the cover image is certainly dynamic. Emphasising creators of different backgrounds is incredibly important and I am excited to see a comic book that explores that.
