There's a ton of things arriving this week, but few brand new issue #1 periodicals. But that makes it super easy to name DELICATES by Brenna Thummler our pick of the week, her follow up to the incredible SHEETS. Or maybe you want to read Gene Luen Yang who starts his run on BATMAN SUPERMAN with a super classic take on the characters. Or you want something artsy? RED ROCK BABY CANDY by Shira Spector is the clear choice. So so so much more below the cut.... what looks good to YOU??

Diverse new week of books! The lead story would look to be a new Grant Morrison joint with PROCTOR VALLEY ROAD, but Guillem March's KARMEN looks neat, and we're adoring the Global Citizen GN line which has a new release with WHAT UNITES US from Dan Rather and company, and, ooh! Mariko Tamaki and Gurihiru doing THOR / LOKI DOUBLE TROUBLE? Yes, please! So so so much more below the cut... what looks good to YOU?

Due to the Winter storms impacting national shipping logistics we're genuinely not sure when this week's comics will actually arrive -- as of Monday AM at 10:30 PST, our weekly shipment hasn't even been picked up yet, which would usually signify a Thursday-at-the-earliest New Comics Day (NCD), but there's not a lot of hard evidence of what this week will bring for sure! It is possible that we might even recieve nothing this week and a double shipment next week -- your guess is as good as ours! Your local comic store (including us!) still has bills and staff to pay, so maybe figure out a way to give them your patronage even when we don't have the NCD shipment.

This week our #1 recommendation is the "Master Edition" of FROM HELL, now in full color. Absolutely anyone loving comics should have this in thier library. For new periodical comics, take a look at CHASING THE DRAGON, STRAY DOGS, and MARVEL VOICES: LEGACY. But there is SO much else hidden down behind the cut! So what looks good to YOU?

Its a rare week that we don't have a single viable new first issue from DC, Marvel or Image, so let's turn to returning series! Ooooh, MONSTRESS #31 starts a new arc of an amazing comic, while the amazing Judd Winick starts his third arc of HILO. Or maybe you want to go smaller press, where Frank Gogol's new arc of DEAD END KIDS starts. Or, if you're old like Brian, you're digging on OTHER HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE #2, where John Ridley somehow ties TITANS comics from the 70s to Arthur Ashe and the Atlanta Child Murders to CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #7. It's kind of a Tour De Force. Much more under the cut — what looks good to YOU?

The final days before the holidays, but there's a ton of great comics being released on Wednesday! We're most excited about Rockstar Dav Pilkey's newest: CAT KID COMICS CLUB, and for a weekly new release, we're down with THE PICTURE OF EVERYTHING, ooh, or the remix of SHAM COMICS 80 PAGE GIANT. But that's just a fraction of this week's releases, all of which you can find below the cut, what looks good to YOU?

Smaller week than usual for debuts, but there's always gems. The lead book is likely SWORD by Al Ewing, and everyone loves a good BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE, finally HOME SICK PILOTS from Image is worth a shot. And on the book side, give Noah Van Sciver some love for PLEASE DONT STEP ON MY JNCO JEANS. So! Much! More! shipping this week, below the cut, so what looks good to YOU?

We come into the last month of 2020 with a smaller week, but packed with some anticipated books -- Marvel's next big crossover with KING IN BLACK, the end of Tom King's run with BATMAN / CATWOMAN #1, a entirely different end in LUMBERJANES END OF DAYS, and the most intriguing indy launch looks like KNOCK EM DEAD. Plus, if you don't already have it, your collection is incomplete without Peter Bagge's COMPLETE HATE HC. Lotsa stuff under the cut; what looks good to YOU?

So much good stuff! What looks good to you?

After a couple of big huge weeks, things get a little quieter this time out, but there's still many books you might like. We think the lead book might be PLANET PARADISE, but there's a lot of love for Adam Hughes drawing HELLBOY THE SEVEN WIVES CLUB. We're also going to look hard at the second issue of CARTOON DIALECTICS and MAYBE SOMEDAY STORIES OF PROMISE VISIONS OF HOPE. Much more under the cut! What looks good to YOU?
