Here is a quick look at some highlights on the shelves this week. I’ve also included a list of Trade Paperbacks and Hard Cover Editions if you’re looking for some extra stories. Some big things from DC and Image out, so without further ado, let’s dive in…

New This Week

Dark Knight III 1Dark Knight III: The Master Race #1 – This is it! The big one we’ve been waiting over 14 years for! I’m not sure yet if reading The Dark Knight Returns or Dark Knight Strikes Again will be necessary to pick this up, but it is part 3 so better safe than sorry…DKR & SA are considered essentials for any superhero fan so if you haven’t read them yet I highly recommend you do a.s.a.p. (especially DKR). Also, good luck to you variant cover collectors.

American Vampire: Second Cycle #11 – The end of Second Cycle! Third Cycle coming next year!

Groot #6 – I’ve finally started reading this series and it’s quickly becoming a favorite! Among all the serious, heavy-action deluge from many superhero books, it’s nice to have a light laugh and adventure once in awhile. We are Groot.

Hellboy & B.P.R.D. 1953: The Witch Tree, Rawhead & Bloody Bones – I’m liking these new HB & BPRD series lately, I hope they continue!

Itty Bitty Hellboy: The Search for the Were-Jaguar #1 – I enjoy these youthful alternate takes in comics lately, from Dustin Nguyen’s Lil’ Gotham to Skottie Young’s AvX: Little Marvel to Baltazar/Franco’s Itty Bitty Hellboy!

Saga 31Saga #31 The return! Finally, after more than 4 months of waiting, it’s here!

Jupiter’s Circle Vol. 2 #1 – Upon initial reading, I found Jupiter’s Circle to be more enjoyable than the original series Jupiter’s Legacy. With the history of the characters in Legacy being the focus, Circle (vol. 1) had a more “Watchmen” like feel to it. That being said, I’m very excited for Vol. 2! I’m going to have go back and reread Legacy now…

Other issues I’m looking forward to:

Archie #4, Batman: Arkham Knight – Robin Special #1, Darth Vader #13, Fight Club 2 #7, Justice League of America #5, Kaptara #5, Material #6, Outcast #13, Robin: Son of Batman #6, Rumble #9, The Fade Out #11, & The Fuse #16.
