Black Widow #1

by Josh Crawley

I am so sick of variant covers, and wasn’t going to promote anything that had them, but I’m making an exception for this book because the covers are that damned gorgeous!

Black Widow #1
Former Westfield Comics retail store customer and new York Times Bestseling author Majorie Liu teams up with Daniel Acuña to bring us some much more red-headed very spy action.

Black Widow #1 Variant

Black Widow #1 Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic women of marvel Variant
Wow, she actually looks like she’s shaped like a woman!

Firestar #1

Firestar #1
While Emma Rios didn’t draw the cover, 1) it is awesome anyways, and 2) Rios does incredible work. In the meantime, why not check out the great X-Men: Firestar digest, or the new Warriors classic volume 1 soft cover?

New Avengers: Luke Cage

New Avengers: Luke Cage #1
Eric Canete’s artwork is awesome. Don’t believe me? check out the Iron Man: enter the Mandarin soft cover!

Thor & the Warriors Four

Thor and the Warriors four #1
I really delight in the Gurihiru artwork on these books. If you haven’t checked them out before now, I’d recommend taking a peek at the Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers hard cover and the Power pack volume 1 the kids are Alright hard cover! There are also classic soft covers for each of those characters, too, if you’re searching for something from a simpler time.

X-Force #26

X-Force #26
“Nothing will ever be the same.” That’s what we in company call hyperbole. That’s not why I wanted to spotlight his comic, though (which also has about 40 variants like Black Widow earlier). I just thought Emma Frost was pretty.

Deadpool & cable television #25

Deadpool & cable television #25
Our sales in the retail store skyrocketed after these men got their own titles a couple of years ago. I’m really hoping they don’t go back to the levels cable television & Deadpool were at (though the soft covers sell well for us; when they’re available). show me wrong; I dare you!

X-Men forever Annual

X-Men forever annual #1
I don’t actually expect you to want to purchase this book if marvel doesn’t even know who’s drawing it yet, when it’s expected to ship in less than two months. However, it has a pretty cover, and I’m a chump for those.

Nemesis #2

Millar & McNiven’s Nemesis #2
…brought to you by Dexter Vines, Morry Hollowell & Chris Eliopoulis, I presume.

Infinity Gauntlet

Infinity Gauntlet Variant edition 46 premiere hard cover
This really ought to be #47, considering #47 is the story that leads into this. Conveniently, it’s noted best here:

Silver Surfer: renewal of Thanos

Silver Surfer: renewal of Thanos Variant edition 47 premiere hard cover
And after reading this, may i suggest reading these two books, reading the Infinity war soft cover?

X-Men: Mutant Genesis

X-Men: Mutant Genesis Variant edition 48 premiere hard cover
It’s practically like marvel is trying to make me poor in the middle of the year.

Strange: The doctor is Out

Strange: The doctor is Out soft cover
Remember when I discussed Emma Rios earlier? check this out!

New Warriors Classic

New Warriors classic volume 2 soft cover
Remember how I discussed Firestar and volume 1 earlier? Me too! check ’em!

And so ends the column for this week. want much more of me running my mouth? check Twitter. need to tell me something? email & post info below!
