Chip Zdarsky
Artist: Marco Checchetto
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: “DOING TIME” Starts Here!
After a landmark year that put Daredevil through the wringer, this December, CHIP ZDARSKY and MARCO CHECCHETTO are dropping the Man Without Fear into familiar territory: behind bars. But there are no conspiracies against Daredevil to be found here – just the truth that his actions led to a man’s death.
Faced with the reality and consequences of his actions, will Daredevil have the stomach to serve his term? Worse still, facing down a prison’s
STEPHEN: So much buzz about this comic today, so why not rush out and pick up a copy? Me, I’m getting it digitally (even though I have a review copy).
DRYAD #7
Writer: Kurtis J. Wiebe
Artist: Justin Barcele and Tomas Oleksak
Publisher: Oni-Lion Forge Publishing
Cover Price: $3.99
SOLICITATION: Morgan is now working with Creston and the radicalized Sowers to find answers about what experiments the twins endured, and for what reason. Meanwhile, the shock of powerful magic has left its mark on the twins. For Griffon, it’s made clear there’s something different about them, and he gains a sense of self and confidence he’s never felt before. For Rana, it throws her whole identity off-axis, only worsened by the world being completely different than they knew.
CHRISTOPHER: Dryad has been a heck of a ride that brings in the best tropes of fantasy and science fiction. I’m always looking forward to the trials and successes of the Glass Family.
FANTASTIC FOUR: ROAD TRIP #1
Writer: Christopher Cantwell
Artist: Filipe Andrade
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Cover Price: $4.99
SOLICITATION: The Fantastic Four have earned some much-needed time away from the job, and Reed has planned a — well, fantastic — old-fashioned family vacation to the Grand Canyon for some good rest, relaxation and team-bonding time. But Reed’s manic mind can’t quite disengage, and soon an obsessive side experiment he brought with him has all of them experiencing gruesome and terrifying side effects from his strange specimens. As everyone’s bodies begin to horribly go awry on a cellular level, it’s a race to solve their lethal affliction, all while stuck in a remote Arizona cabin with no help for miles.
INGRID: There’s just something charming about the idea of the Fantastic Four on a family vacation. Of course they’ll run into an adventure, but I like the idea of focusing it through a normal family activity.
LUMBERJANES: END OF SUMMER #1
Writer: Kat Leyh and Shannon Watters
Artist: Brooklyn Allen and Kanesha C. Bryant
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
Cover Price: $6.99
SOLICITATION: The END OF SUMMER is here in the final issue of Lumberjanes! Co-Creator & Series Artist Brooklyn Allen Returns… along with the Kitten Holy! Now the scouts of Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types will have to fight back against the mysterious force known as the Grey! Meanwhile, Molly has discovered a deep and ancient forest magic, which she hopes to use to protect her friends and the home they’ve all found here. Will she be able to, though? Or is this all-encompassing, all-erasing Grey just too much for one ‘Jane to fight on her own?
INGRID: A brilliant and extremely fun series comes to an end bringing in everything we loved along the way. It’s hard to say good-bye to the perfect summer camp adventure.
