Fear Agent Library Edition volume 2 hard cover
A couple of stories written by Hilary Barta, including one illustrated by Mark Nelson, and lettered by me should be in this book. I’m so excited!!!
(I just can’t hide it!)
~
ORION!!!
Boom.
~
All-new Oracle?!
~
Herald of the Oracle?!
~
I really need to get caught up on this title (one of about three remaining New 52 books I’m actually interested in reading regularly at this point).
~
Day of Judgment trade paperback
(Not to be confused with Day of Judgement.) This is where I first saw Matt(hew Dow) Smith’s artwork; been in love ever since!!!
Oh, and some dude named Geoff Johns writes about some fella called Hal Jordan.
~
Superman Family Adventures #10
I really want a Chicago dog right about now.
~
The final issue of one of the best Teen Titans series in over a decade.
~
Batman Arkham City Series 4 Deadshot action figure
Sometimes comic book designs don’t work well in more realistic looking mediums such as movies, television, and this style of video game. Sadly, I think this Deadshot looks utterly horrible (though not as bad as the one from CW’s Arrow). Talia and Nightwing, on the other hand, look pretty amazing.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #50 Treasury Edition
This is a great book for those who can’t rationalize $50 for the hard covers but still would like some Eastman and Laird art in over-sized glory!
~
Jack Davis’ EC Stories: Artist’s Edition hardcover
I’m not even going to say it this month.
~
Ravine Volume 1 trade paperback
For less than $10 you get over 120 pages (Top Cow’s Matt Hawkins has actually said since press time for Previews the page count has gone up another 40 pages) full over gorgeous artwork by Stjepan Sejic!!!
~
The final free issue!
~
Haunchyville part two!!! The Hoax Hunters Hunters (who I’ve just decided to refer to as H3 [or H3, though HH2 would probably be more accurate]; not to be confused with HHH, A.K.A. Triple H) form an alliance with the Hoax Hunters!
~
This is the only Avengers book I’m reading these days, and it’s the only Avengers book I need right now.
~
…Except maybe for Young Avengers.
~
Iron Fist + Doop, by Kathryn Immonen and David Lafuente? Oh, yes!!!
~

This is one of the best SUPER HERO comics being published right now.
While you’re at it, be sure to order Hawkeye volume 1: My Life as a Weapon trade paperback if you’re new to the series.
~
Dog didn’t become Sabertooth? #sigh
~
New Warriors Omnibus Volume 1 hard cover Bagley cover
Ha ha ha —
Wait, seriously? Is this an early April Fool’s joke? Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed this stuff, but it seems like putting out more volumes of the Classics-branded trade paperbacks would make a bit more sense.
Also, there’s a Skottie Young cover.
~
Executive Assistant Assassins #8 Cover A
My pal Jordan Gunderson isn’t just drawing interiors; he’s doing covers now, too!!!
~
Paul Jenkins and Humberto Ramos, together again!!!
~
Fancy French Terry Dodson work resolicited for those of us that read American English!
~
Valiant Masters: Ninjak Volume 1 – Black Water hard cover
This has some gorgeous work from early in Joe Quesada’s career. If you haven’t read/seen these before, I highly suggest giving this a look-see.
~
LEGO Minifigure Character Encyclopedia
I love me some LEGO minifigures, and this book, like many (all?) of the other character encyclopedias, includes an exclusive minifigure!!!
~
Yo Gabba Gabba 5-piece nesting doll set
The board comics sell pretty well in the east side retail store, and I’m looking forward to adding these to the line-up of product!
~
Masters of the Universe: Castle Grayskull statue
I want this…
SO. BAD. IT. HURTS.
