Pull List: Comics Coming Out 5/23/12

What delights lurk in your sub pile this week?

  • DC rolls out “Batman Incorporated” #1 this week, and it’ll be interesting to see how this gets integrated into the New 52, as it was one of the more popular arcs in a Batbook over the last ten years.
  • Also, “Dark Victory” gets an absolute edition, and DC’s Showcase line really goes deep into the obscure and has a collection of comics featuring the Sea Devils, who I’m pretty sure we last saw in “New Frontier”.
  • “Astonishing X-Men” crosses the fifty-issue mark today, and Marvel is celebrating by, uh, mostly putting out Thor and Spidey graphic novels and collections this week. Well, we guess the X-Men take a back seat to movie royalties.
  • Image is rolling out “Epic Kill”, which is apparently about a petite Asian assassin out to kill the President. Meanwhile, “Prophet” #25 hits the stands, and we are deeply excited about that.
  • Dark Horse fires up “Mind MGMT”, from Matt Kindt, which seems to be pretty much “Mind Screw: The Comic Book” and “Resident Alien”, which is about an alien in disguise sucked into a murder mystery.
  • And IDW has a new Godzilla book and a “True Blood” book debuting, but we’re most excited for the next issue of “Smoke and Mirrors”.

As always, let us know what you’re picking up this week, and we’ll do the same.
