HEADLESS #1

Scout Comics
(Wr) Alexander Banchita (A) Robert Ahmad

This murder mystery promises to unveil quite a tangled web of horror and intrigue in this story of the Headless Horseman who is responsible for turning the women of Salem into witches and the Knights Templar that are set out to banish all magic from Salem.

PRETTY VIOLENT #1 CVR A HUNTER (MR)

Image Comics
(Wr) Derek Hunter, Jason Young (A/CA) Derek Hunter

Pretty Violent looks like a step-sister to Skottie Young’s I HATE FAIRYLAND. It’s a gore-filled laugh out loud story of Gamma Rae, who has always wanted to be a super-hero. The punchline? Her siblings are notorious hero-killing criminals! Sure, we all have our own version of family issues, but this may prove to be quite a pickle for Gamma.

ABSOLUTE CARNAGE VS DEADPOOL #1 (OF 3) AC

Marvel Comics
(Wr) Matthew Rosenberg (A) Marcelo Ferreira (CA) Tyler Kirkham

Deadpool finally decides to checks himself into the Ravencroft Institute to straighten out the ol’ noggin, just in time for another patient to check in as well, you guess it — CARNAGE. Something tells me that their stay at the Institute might not go quite as Deadpool planned..

GHOST-SPIDER #1

Marvel Comics
(W) Seanan McGuire (A) Takeshi Miyazawa (CA) Jorge Molina

I am very vocal and unapologetic about not loving stories that involve multi-dimensional travel, BUT I am interested in this new series starring our fave Spider-Woman, Gwen Stacy aka Ghost-Spider…Let’s see if I can keep everything straight!

Earth-65 Gwen Stacy travels to Earth-616 to do some super-heroing and University!? While most college-goers may have struggled to balance homework / social life and a job, at least we were limited to one world. Gwen is thrown into a crash course of multiversity while she splits her time between Earth-65 and 616!

BATMAN #232 FACSIMILE EDITION

DC Comics
(W) Dennis O’Neil (A) Neal Adams, Dick Giordano (CA) Neal Adams

I really love that DC is starting to reprint hard to find issues for us who don’t want to break the bank to read these much sought after comics!! This book features the first appearance of one of Batman’s biggest foes, Ra’s Al Ghul!
