#NCBD On My Radar 8/27/14

Tomorrow is NCBD once again, and without any new #1's from the "Big 2", here's an all-Indie edition of “On My Radar!”

5: Bob's Burgers #1

Ok, this is kind of a cheat since it's based off of a popular TV show, but Dynamite isn't one of the Big 2, so it's "indie," right?  Anyway, fans of the show should get a kick out of this new series!

4: Brainstorm #1

This book piqued my interest because I live in the Midwest, and it's tornado season (severe weather warning as I'm writing this post, too).  I love sci-fi and the premise of a US Military solution to climate change, who wouldn't give this book a shot? Check out a free preview here

3: POP #1

This new Dark Horse title has a pretty cool premise: what if celebrities were literally products that were grown by the world's wealthiest minds? Seems pretty cool (although today's celebrities are "manufactured" in the studio anyway, so it's not far off)

2: Sundowners #1

Another new Dark Horse title, but this one follows a super-team that are "sworn to protect humanity from inter-dimensional invaders," but are those threats real or imagined? Written by Tim Seeley, this one seems like something right up my alley!

1: Wayward #1

As fall approaches, and Halloween gets closer, the supernatural books start to pique my interest more and more.  This new Image comic looks pretty cool, and it's said to combine "the camaraderie and emotion of Buffy with the action and mystery of Hellboy," so it seems like a pretty safe bet!

Any new books I missed that are on YOUR radar?

#NCBD On My Radar 8/20/14

Tomorrow is NCBD once again, and here’s some new titles that are “On My Radar!”

Wildcard: Wolverine Annual #1

Love that Dustin Nguyen cover, but I'm unfamiliar with the writer and artist of this issue. It seems like a "must have" if you're following the "3 Months to Die" storyline.

5: Justice, Inc. #1

If there's one thing that you can count on, it's that Dynamite knows how to treat the old pulp properties! Just like Masks before it, this team-up book looks amazing!

4: Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland #1

Ever since Gabriel Rodriguez started putting out some of his AMAZING pencil work for this book on his twitter feed, he sold me on this book! One of the oldest properties to be "rebooted," it looks to be in good hands.

3: The Fade Out #1

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips on an Image title.  I don't think that I need to say anymore.

2: The Delinquents #1

A new Valiant team up book featuring Archer and Armstrong with Quantum and Woody. Seems like a "no-brainer" to me!

1: Multiversity #1

I've only been looking forward to this book for like 5 years!  Grant Morrison taking us on a mulitverse "trip" in both senses of the word! Can't wait to read this one tomorrow!

What new titles did I miss that you're looking forward to?

#NCBD On My Radar 8/13/14

Tomorrow is NCBD once again, and here’s some new titles that are “On My Radar!”

Wildcard: The F1rst Hero #1

Seems like an interesting premise, might have to check this one out!

5: Godzilla: Cataclysm #1

IDW is celebrating 60 years of Godzilla with a new book from Cullen Bunn, and it looks pretty good if you ask me!

4: Dark Ages #1

The tagline says it's a mixture of Starship Troopers and Kingdom of Heaven...SOLD!

3: Transformers: Primacy #1

The final chapter of Cybertron War Trilogy, and it look pretty cool.  Properties from my childhood never seem to go away, and I'm okay with that :)

2: Hexed #1

The original Hexed mini-series introduced us to Emma Rios (who did this amazing cover, BTW), and the new artist looks to be the next big breakout artist, reason enough to give this one a try!

1: Nova Special #1

The final chapter of the "No End in Sight" story arc that spanned Uncanny X-Men, Iron Man, and Nova, which I've been enjoying.

What new titles are coming out this week that you think I should try?

#NCBD On My Radar for 8/6/14

Tomorrow is NCBD once again, and here’s what’s “On My Radar!”

Wildcard: Usagi Yojimbo: Senso #1

The only familiarity I have with Usagi Yojimbo was his breif stint in the TMNT universe, but with all of the real world problems Stan Sakai is having, I figured now would be a good time to jump on board.

5: Superman/Wonder Woman Annual #1

Ok, this is kind of a cheat, since it's part of an overall larger story arc, but it is TECHNICALLY a #1 issue ;) I've been enjoying the Superman: Doomed storyline, and this new annual helps bring it toward it's conclusion, can't wait!

4: The Sixth Gun: Days of the Dead #1

I've not read any of the Sixth Gun saga yet, but I've heard nothing but great things! My buddy Chris will be happy to know that I'm gonna start reading the trades from the library. So, although I probably won't be actually reading this book next week, I am gonna pick it up once I'm up to date :)

3: Harbinger: Omegas #1

Valiant has been on fire, and Harbinger has been one of the best titles since the relaunch, so this one is a no-brainer for me! Just look at that beautiful cover, too! Harada Unhinged...bad things are coming, I can tell!

2: Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers #1

Dynamite has been, well, dynamite on the old Kirby properties, and I have been eagerly awaiting the relaunch of the Kirby-verse!  I'm ready for a space epic, worthy of the King himself!

1: Terminal Hero #1

If you dig the quirky super-heroics of X-Statix and Doop, this might be the book for you!  Written by Peter Milligan (the mastermind behind X-Statix and Doop), it looks to be right up his (and my) alley: a "hero" with a moral dilemma of using an illegal treatment to treat his own inoperable disease, but the side-effects are WHY it's illegal.  Sounds like an awesome premise for me, and I've enjoyed Milligan's previous works, so it's definitely "on my radar."

Anything new coming out that I missed?
