Here are some recommendations from this month’s Previews catalog for product shipping mostly in May.
- As Pulp is by Brubaker and Phillips, this is a no-brainer purchase.
- And speaking of Phillips, his son, Jacob, is working with Chris Condon to bring us That Texas Blood. I have to admit, I want to know what Sheriff Coates saw in that car.
- I’ve never been into pirates (and that part of Watchmen bored me), but damn does A Man Among Ye look like fun!
- It’s hard to pass up P. Craig Russell adapting Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology book.
- I blame Brubaker and Phillips (and the others) for my interest in Noir: A Collection of Crime Comics.
- Blacksad is one of those series I’ve always heard about but haven’t read; now I can.
- I am very intrigued by The Atomic Legion. “An epic adventure into the science fiction of the past”?! Sold!
- Oh! I cannot wait to read Star Trek: Year Five: The Wine-Dark Deep!!! I loved the first volume of the series, and I bet the second is even better!
- Seriously thinking of getting Bermuda. It looks like it could scratch my dinosaur comics itch.
- Don’t miss the series finale to Five Years! You can still go to the webstore and buy all the other issues you didn’t preorder.
- Aftershock continues to intrigue me to buy its books. Lonely Receivers is no exception.
- Same goes for Sympathy for No Devils.
- But what the hell is with those $5 price tags?! Other 32-page comic books from Aftershock are $3.99!
- Was anyone asking for a sequel to Dark Nights: Metal? Really? Welp, I guess you get Dark Nights: Death Metal. Snyder and Capullo thank you.
- Huh. Considering Dan DiDio’s ouster, I figured the 5G initiative was out, but I was wrong! I’m looking forward to what comes of this, starting with Generation One.
- Batman: The Adventures Continue (for fans of the animated series) will make a nice trade on my shelf.
- The 80 year celebrations continue! This time it’s Green Lantern’s turn, with my favorite Lantern, Alan Scott, in the center of that Liam Sharp cover.
- Hmm, I lamented last time that The Dreaming was ending, but it’s back already as The Dreaming: Waking Hours by Wilson and Robles.
- There have been a few characters that went by the name Manhunter that I’ve enjoyed over the years, so I am very interested in reading this new Manhunters: The Secret History mini series.
- I never thought I’d see a collection of the Legion of Super-Heroes Five Years Later run, let alone an omnibus version!
- Trust me, you want to read this different take on Supergirl (Being Super) by Tamaki and Jones.
- Ok, let’s see what’s going on at Marvel. Empyre, Empyre, Empyre…. Oh, here we go! The Union gives us the costumed heroes from the United Kingdom. I may have to break my buy-only-Big-2-trades policy and get this.
- Same with Busiek’s and Cinar’s The Marvels. It kind of reads to me like Astro City in the Marvel U.
- Does anyone else hate Spider-Woman’s new costume?
