    Major Spoilers Staff Picks for July 29, 2020 #NCBD

    Robot OverlordBy Robot OverlordJuly 29, 20206 Mins Read

    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.

    IRON MAN 2020 #5
    Writer: Dan Slott, Christos N. Gage
    Artist: Pete Woods
    Publisher: Marvel Comics
    Cover Price: $4.99
    SOLICITATION: Tony Stark is back! But is this the REAL Tony? How is that possible?! Where did that all-new armor come from?! WHAT’S GOING ON? There’s no time to explain, human. Just know this: It’s STARK VS. STARK ROUND 2, as Tony takes on Arno… in SPACE!

    MATTHEW: I had forgotten this was still going on, but the 2020 crossover has been good stuff and I want to see how it all comes together for the (presumable) big finish.

     

     

    Legion of Super-Heroes #7LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #7
    Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
    Artist: Wade Von Grawbadger, Stephen Byrne, Ryan Sook
    Publisher: DC Comics
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: Jonathan Kent, intergalactic fugitive! The United Planets is less than thrilled with the decision to bring Superboy a thousand years into the future to protect the past. Planet Gotham is under siege. Ultra Boy’s homeworld is on the verge of all-out war. And as if that weren’t enough, new Legionnaire drama unfolds as Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy throw down over who should take on the Legion’s leadership! Plus, Brainiac 5 will reveal a secret that will make one Legionnaire quit the team—and we ask the burning question: Who is the strongest Legionnaire? Find out in the only book telling you the future of the 
DC Universe every month!

    MATTHEW: So, the first arc is done and it was… okay, I guess? There have been the usual Bendis pacing/balance problems, but I’m still interested in this new status quo and a couple of the new guys. Some would say that I’m a fool, but I’m just a Legion fan.

    STEPHEN: It’s election time! Will there be a peaceful transfer of power, or will the entire team crumble? A good read, but man, are the panels packed.

    MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #52
    Writer: Ryan Parrott
    Artist: Daniele Di Nicuolo
    Publisher: BOOM! Studios
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: As tensions rise between the OMEGA RANGERS and the MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS over the return of , Kimberly takes it upon herself to interrogate their new prisoner. Meanwhile, a team of Rangers on a crucial intergalactic mission come face to face with the herald of a new threat heading straight for Earth!

    MATTHEW: This story did NOT go where I expected, but I’m enjoying whatever the hell is going on. It’s glorious chaos, and I’m here for it.

    MIRKA ANDOLFO’S MERCY #4
    Writer: Mirka Andolfo
    Artist: Mirka Andolfo
    Publisher: Image Comics
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: Just when Goodwill needs her most, Lady Hellaine is on the verge of collapse! Will unexpected help from an unlikely ally be enough to turn the tide? Place your bets: it’s time to unveil the identity of the infamous Woodsburgh Devil, and if you thought the end of the previous issue was shocking, well—think again! You’re in for a hell of a ride, fellas.

    INGRID: If you like your cosmic alien horror with some truly gorgeous art, this is a book to read. The plot is intricate and mysterious with threads that twine back on themselves so they are tantalizingly elusive. It’s a dark, evocative book that keeps you guessing.

    SPIDER-MAN NOIR #2
    Writer: Margaret Stohl
    Artist: Juan E Ferreyra
    Publisher: Marvel
    Cover Price: $3.99
    SOLICITATION: DATELINE 1933! After months of fruitless efforts, the Nazis have discovered an ancient evil in one of their dig sites on the other side of the world. After a friend of a friend is murdered, SCRAPPY YOUNG REPORTER and rookie gumshoe PETER PARKER finds himself torn from his borough and thrust into the action! Unsure of who he can trust, our hero quickly finds himself on A GLOBE-TROTTING ADVENTURE, encountering friend and foe alike – some of whom may even bear a passing resemblances to familiar faces from the Marvel Universe!

    INGRID: This is a wonderful take on a 1930’s Spider-Man as detective, about to go on a globe-trotting adventure. The dialogue is hard-boiled and pithy and the action two-fisted. Plus, there are nods to present-day Spider-Man and his cast of associates sprinkled throughout. Who knows, he may even get to punch a Nazi or two.

    STEPHEN: Spider-Man punching Nazis? Sign me up!

    WITCHBLADE #1
    Writer: David Wohl and Christina Z.
    Artist: Michael Turner
    Publisher: Image Comics
    Cover Price: $4.99
    SOLICITATION: Celebrate the 25th anniversary of WITCHBLADE with this deluxe commemorative edition of the first issue that launched a universe! Return to the classic issue with writers DAVID WOHL (DARK SECTOR ZERO, Brothers in Arms) and CHRISTINA Z. (Bloodrayne), and legendary artist MICHAEL TURNER (JLA) as they introduce Sara Pezzini, Kenneth Irons, Ian Nottingham, and of course the mystical gauntlet itself to the world! This limited edition will only be printed once, and a set, limited quantity will be available based on orders, so don’t miss out!

    CHRISTOPHER: My mother was really into Witchblade when I was growing up and I admit I have overlooked it. Maybe it is time to pick up an issue and see what it is all about.

    X-FACTOR #1
    Writer: Leah Williams
    Artist: David Baldeon
    Publisher: Marvel Comics
    Cover Price: $4.99
    SOLICITATION: MUTANTS HAVE CONQUERED DEATH!
    By the grace of The Five, the resurrection protocols can bring back any fallen mutant. But such a huge enterprise isn’t without its problems and complications… When a mutant dies, X-Factor is there to investigate how and why to keep the rules of reincarnation. Writer Leah Williams (AMAZING MARY JANE, X-TREMISTS) and artist David Balde n (DOMINO, WEB WARRIORS) take Northstar, Polaris, Prodigy, Eye-boy, Daken and Prestige into the world of murder and missing persons…

    CHRISTOPHER: I love the stuff coming out of the X-men mythos but one of those confusing questions is the rules of reincarnation. It seems this series is going to answer that question and that piqued my interest.
