National Comics Eternity #1
By: Jeff Lemire and Cully Hamner
Publisher: DC Comics
Estimated Price: $3.99
What’s it about: Kid Eternity was a classic character that went through a few variations. He was originally a cheesy superhero from the ’40s published by Quality comics. Grant Morrison led a revival in the 90s before it got a trippy Vertigo series. With Animal Man’s Jeff Lemire headlining this book, it is bound to be a least trippy and crazy.
Debris #1 (of 4)
By: Kurtis J. Wiebe and Riley Rossmo
Publisher: Image
Estimated Price: $3.50
What’s it about: This new series from image takes place in a dystopian future where humanity has ruined the Earth covering it in garbage. When ancient creatures rise from the filth to get rid of the humans, a lone warrior woman searches for the remaining source of clean water. Anything with a strong female character is worth at least a look simply because there are not enough of them in the medium.
X-treme X-Men #1
By: Greg Pak, Stephen Segovia, and Julian Totino Tedesco
Publisher: Marvel
Estimated Price: $2.99
What’s it about: Captain Howlett. Emmilene Frost. Kid Nightcrawler. Alternate versions of characters we already now become lost between dimensions. It sounds like the Exiles except without the missions based on fixing timelines.
Everybody Loves Tank Girl #1 (of 3)
By: Alan Martin and Jim Mahfood
Publisher: Titan
Estimated Price: $3.99
What’s it about: Tank Girl is indelible whether you like it or not. She is like a sassy female Judge Dredd living in her dystopian future causing all sorts of offensively over the top violence, and that’s why we love her.
DC wants Batman Inc #3 delayed. Apparently they it contains images that may not be sensitive to the Aurora shooting. They want to delay it a month, but it sounds like the issues have already been shipped. Most likely it will be at the shop owners’ discretion.
