Comics

Do you like comics? Do you like Army of Darkness? Then you’re going to love the build-a-bundle deal that Dynamite Comics has cooked up for the property’s 25th anniversary.

Thor is back. No, not that Thor, the other one – the “real” one. The Odinson. And this sounds like one series debut that you are not going to want to miss.

Shadowman is set to make a splash as he returns to the Valiant Universe. But he’s bringing a tidal wave of supernatural terror with him. Looks like it might not be the most comfortable year for the hero.

With a Bumblebee movie already on the way in 2018, it seems like it’d be only natural that an original graphic novel was also en route. That’s just what publisher IDW has on tap.

There’s only one book hitting next week from Valiant, but it’s a pretty big one. X-O Manowar #12 primes the Visigoth warrior for the final arc before he sets his sights on Earth once again. If you’re guessing that this isn’t going to go well for the bad guys, well …

Nightwing is getting a major new story direction this May, as Benjamin Percy takes over. Get ready for some very big new threats as The Bleeding Edge kicks off.

The king is back. Not that you should have doubted his presence for a second, but T’Challa will indeed be back as the Black Panther in Marvel Comics’ Fresh Start era.

Marvel’s biggest super-team is back in the “Fresh Start” era with a new roster and a new direction. And yes, the big guns are very much back in action. This is the best Avengers team in a good long time.

Now don’t get too upset – though this Venom issue is a “number one”, it’s actually not. A part of Fresh Start, Marvel is going with a dual numbing system for it’s restarted lineup. So yes, this is a #1, but it’s also got the Legacy numbering intact. Oh, and …

Is this “fresh start” a reboot? Probably not, but it’s as close as it looks like we’re going to get for Marvel’s universe. And if you’re a longtime fan, then it’s more than likely going to be music to your ears… or eyes.

One of the greatest X-Men writers of all time, Chris Claremont returns to Marvel Comics to pen the wedding of Kitty Pryde and Colossus. Chances that this arc will end without some problems for our heroes? Probably zero.

The DC Universe won’t be getting a reprieve anytime soon as writer Scott Snyder’s Metal was just the beginning of a new series of threats. The Dark Multiverse will have a direct effect on this summer’s Justice League: No Justice.

Not that you would have assumed Hulk to be all smiles, but let us assure you – he’s not. Banner is not only back, but he’s on a rampage for the ages in the latest twist to Marvel’s Avengers epic No Surrender.
