This week brings some interesting stuff, although it’s surprisingly light on new issues compared to recent weeks. One note, though: for some reason, Diamond is listing “Mondo #1” as coming out this week. Said Hulk-vs.-chickens comic hit stands last week. Anyway!
- DC has more Aquaman and the surprisingly good “Green Lantern: New Guardians” up this week, as well as a reissue of “Sandman”
- Marvel is putting out possibly the funniest thing ever: “Spider-Man Fights Substance Abuse”, a collection all those preachy anti-drug comics and one page stories they put out covering a range of social issues. And they’re all terrible, but they’re also hard to find. Whether nostalgia is worth $25 is up to you, but it’s pretty funny.
- Image has more “Prophet”, “Chew”, and “Bulletproof Coffin” hitting the stands, which more than makes up for the “Wizard of Oz”-except-it’s-horror book “There’s No Place Like Home”, which is already resorting to boobs to push issues.
- Speaking of boobs, Dynamite has a Witchblade/Red Sonja crossover starting this week.
- Dark Horse is putting out a whole bunch of collections, including a new collection of their great Kull comics.
- And IDW is up to their usual greatly appreciated archiving tricks, collecting a whole bunch of Wally Wood’s EC comics into a hardcover volume.
As usual, drop us a comment and let us know what you’re picking up at the FLCS, and the full list is under the cut.
