mayhap it ’s contrariness on the part of the risible book industriousness , but just as we modify clocks and begin think about spring , this week ’s funnies are all about death and the undead . Wha ’ hoppen ?
lease ’s go with the two non - death - touch new book of the week first , shall we?GI JoeMovie Prequel : Duke is IDW ’s fashion of giving you a glance of this summertime ’s toyline - come - explodo - motion-picture show a few months early on , as well as filling in the blank of Dennis Quaid ’s character ’s history before you hit the multiplex this August .
Less affiliated to a major question icon – but arguably more fun – is Warren Ellis ’ Anna Mercury Volume 1 : The Cutter , the first aggregation of self - style “ internet Jesus ” ‘ previous SF noir femme fatale as she give way nerve , and into building , across the retro - future metropolis .
Otherwise , it ’s all about pass this workweek . Batman ’s supposed expiry lead to many successors stepping forward in Batman : struggle for The Cowl(Our money ’s on Dick Grayson , but only because Tim Drake ’s a little bit too inadequate right now ) .
Meanwhile , Resident Evil ’s kinda - undead also get their own DC risible book to infect the world with . Talking of infections , Marvel’sThe Standadaptation not only gets a raw series ( American Nightmares ) , but the hardback collection of the first serial , Captain Trips … which is only travel to be released in comic book memory , thanks to the weirdness of publisher licenses .
More familiar undeadities can be find in IDW ’s new Angel serial , Blood and Trenches ( a flashback to Angel ’s escapade during World War I ) and Dynamite ’s new seriesSuper Zombies , which lives up to its title by offering superheroes who happen to be zombie ( It ’s write by io9 best-loved Marc Guggenheim , and promises to be more fun than my snark propose , if you ’re curious ) .
That tell , the Scripture we ’re looking forward to most this workweek may be the first issue ofSuper Human Resources , which I do n’t even have to explain , because they ’ve create their very own house trailer : If your tastes demand a little more than any of the above , correspond outthis hebdomad ’s shipping listto find something near to your still - beating heart , and then find your near laughable store viathe Comic Shop Locatorto know where to pick up the comics , whether alive or dead .
