It’s a a week full of new beginnings and untold tales as we go back in time to find out the mystery of Zuko’s mother in Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Search, see how Dredd earned his scowling stripes in Judge Dredd: Year One, and find out what manner of supernatural mayhem John Constantine will raise in his brand new ongoing series. We’ll give you a moment alone with your wallet to say your last goodbyes to your hard-earned cash. Never forget, it’s Comic Book Day.

Top Picks

Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Search, Part I | Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru

While we’re still anxious for the return of Legend of Korra, you can scratch your Avatar itch with a brand new original graphic novel from Dark Horse, Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese), and the graphical gurus at Gurihiru. Delving into the mystery of what happened to Zuko’s mother (a cliffhanger you may remember from the A:TLA finale), this three-part original graphic novel manages to capture the spirit and tone of the show perfectly, making it a welcome addition to the ever-expanding Avatar-verse. Get the full scoop on what you can expect from the title and more in our interview with Gene Luen Yang!

Constantine #1 | Jeff Lemire, Ray Fawkes and Renato Guedes

What’s the old saying? You can take the hard drinking, foul-mouthed British mystic out of the Vertigo universe? For those fans approaching Constantine‘s New 52/main DCU ongoing series with a sense of dread, you can relax. In case you haven’t been reading his terrific work on Animal Man and Green Arrow, you should know that Jeff Lemire is one of the best writers in the game right now, and it looks like his take on the Justice League Dark leader looks like it’s no exception. Even if it won’t be as R-rated as the original comic, it’s good to have John Constantine back in any form (no, not you, Keanu, we’ll call you when we need you).

Judge Dredd: Year One #1 | Matt Smith and Simon Coleby

So, not enough of us saw Karl Urban’s guttural sneering in Dredd 3D, which makes the potential for a sequel tenuous at best, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have more Judge Dredd in your life. Longtime 2000 A.D. editor Matt Smith takes us back to the future cop’s roots in Judge Dredd: Year One to show us how he went from rookie Mega-City One Judge to stone cold badass. Just don’t download this comic illegally because Dredd’ll know.
