TGIWednesday, y’all! It’s Comic Book Day, so we’re back with your pull list for this week and our top picks so you prepare to send your hard-earned cash to the Phantom Zone of your local comic book store’s coffers. Excelsior!
Top Picks
Batman #14 | Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo
After an Usain Bolt-like sprint out of the narrative gates with the “Court of the Owls,” Scott Snyder’s Batman is the subject of intense scrutiny and anticipation by fans. How can they top what was easily one of the best opening runs of the whole New 52 line? Well, the “Death of the Family” arc is about to heat up as Snyder and co. bring back everyone’s favorite Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker. Why is the Joker back? Why does Alfred have his own screen? Did the Joker really change his mind, go legit and open up a garage? Only you have the power to buy this book and find out.
Locke & Key: Omega #1 | Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez
2012 marked the beginning of the end for many beloved franchises – Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, the Twilight Saga, Mormon and Sons (the Romney family’s Mumford and Sons cover band), to name a few – but none will be more sorely missed than Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s Locke & Key. With Omega, Hill takes us into the final arc of this truly excellent story that began in 2008 with “Welcome to Lovecraft.” For fans of the series, enjoy it while it lasts, because it doesn’t look like Hill is going to be pulling any punches.
All New X-Men #1 | Brian Michael Bendis, Stuart Immonen & Wade von Grawbadger
One of the most exciting parts of the whole Marvel NOW! experiment has been giving these books which were starting to feel a bit crushed under the weight of their own histories a fresh start that they clearly needed. That being said, the announcement of All New X-Men elicited more than one raised eyebrow around the office. Why would the original five X-Men be plucked from the past and unduly thrust into present day, especially after the events of AvX? Indeed, that’s a question that lingers throughout this book, but it is a welcome change of pace to see Bendis able to flex his Chris Claremont muscles and tell stories in more of a classic vein. I’d need to be a Class V telepath to tell you where this book is going, but, for now, this is definitely a title to watch.
