New Series/#1’s
Disney Hercules #1 – Dynamites new line of Disney comics continues to expand.
Land Left Behind #1 – Blood Moon Comics – Days into an expedition, the caravan of knights of the “charging steer” company find themselves transported into a strange, unknown land. Stranded and alone, they must fight for survival against prehistoric beasts and the land itself as they learn that they are not the top of the food chain anymore.
Silicon Bandits #1 – Magma Comix – In a near future where automation has caused mass unemployment, programmers Kenji and Aurora’s careers seemed safe. But when they are suddenly fired, the couple hatches a desperate plan: assemble the perfect bank-heist crew out of androids they programmed. The ensuing crime spree goes perfectly… until betrayal and sentience emerge in equally devastating turns!
When The Blood Has Dried #1 – Years ago, a stranger came to Carraig an Bhun, a little town on the edge of the Southern Territories. The locals eventually came to see this “blow-in,” Meabh of Cklonia, as one of their own. Now, Meabh has taken over as proprietor of The Lough Inn, finding a semblance of peace after a lifetime of adventuring…however, the proposed opening of a branch of the Adventurers’ Guild risks dragging her past into the present. What would the townsfolk do if they discovered their beloved barkeep was once part of a ruthless band of rogue sell-swords masquerading as noble heroes? It’s a tragic tale of loss and redemption that asks what’s left behind long after the bodies are buried and When the Blood Has Dried.

Small Press Pick of the Week
Uncanny Valley #1 – Oliver is a seemingly typical 12 year old boy… except for a mysterious family history that seems to start and end with his mother, and unexplainable powers, that is. He can do things other boys can’t, to the point of landing him in some trouble. Baffled by the surreal cartoonish nature of his abilities and followed by a murder of peculiar crows, the mystery behind Oliver’s family history finally unfolds! Written by fan-favorite writer Tony Fleecs
Pick of the Week
Rat City #1 – New Spawn Universe series featuring a brand new Spawn in the future. Pretty good read and worth holding one.
Wow! No Maystorm?
Yeah, I am on the fence about the argument if this will be her first full or not.
Wow! No Persephone?
Persephone is cool but not sure she will have the legs (get it spider’s have 8 legs) that Weapon VIII had.
Rat City #1 interests me a lot, hope its good.
