#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?

Most Anticipated #NCBD Releases 8/20/14

Another HUGE week, so here’s the Top 5 (+1) books I’m looking forward to this week!

Wildcard: Multiversity #1

I know, I know...NO #1s! I just couldn't help myself, though! I've been looking forward to this book for YEARS, and at least it's my "wildcard" because it isn't a known commodity (yet). Deal with it, it's my blog :P

5: The New 52: Futures End #16

I have to say, after catching up this last week, I'm really digging this book, and can't wait to find out who is under the Superman mask!

4: Supreme: Blue Rose #2

Ellis and Lotay hooked me with issue one, and it definitely has the "cool factor!"  Beautiful art and a compelling story will get you everywhere!

3: New Avengers #23

Let the aftermath commence! Best Avengers book that doesn't really star any "Avengers." Really, this book should've been call Illuminati, but who cares, it's AWESOME!

2: Manifest Destiny #9

I can't go on about this book enough, so I won't say much more than YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!

1: Batman and Robin #34

The Robin Rises arc has me glued to my tablet! Some of the best Batman you can find right now, IMO!

What books are you eagerly anticipating?

#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?

Most Anticipated #NCBD Releases 8/13/14

Another HUGE week, so here's the Top 5 (+1) books I’m looking forward to this week!

Wildcard: Wolverine #11

This Wolverine arc has been one of the more enjoyable Wolverine runs in recent memory, and I'm curious to see where it goes!

5: Hulk #5

With a new writer jumping on board, seems like the perfect time to give this book another shot. Not that I didn't enjoy it before, just looking for something different.

4: Inhuman #3

Always worth the wait for some Joe Madureira art! Love Soule's writing too, so the wait will pay-off (I hope!)

3: Astro City #14

Speaking of "worth the wait," Astro City NEVER disappoints! I don't care how long each issue takes, when you get this kind of quality!

2: Ghosted #12

I've said enough about this title over the last few months, so it should come as no surprise that it ranks as highly as it does on my "read pile." I'm not even going to give a reason, just read this book!

1: Batman #34

If Batman isn't reason enough, add the amazing art of Matteo Scalera (Black Science) to the Dark Knight, and you have a "MUST READ" in my book!

#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?

Most Anticipated #NCBD Releases

Without further ado, here are the Top 5 (+1) books I’m looking forward to this week!

Wildcard: Rocket Raccoon #2

Such a fun book! So many other great books coming out today, though, that this one has to take the "wildcard" slot.

5: Green Arrow #34

I've been raving about this book for months, and with this team's run coming to a close soon, I'm very sad. Hopefully they can team up on another DC title in the future, because Lemire & Sorrentino are a great team!

4: Miracleman #9

This is probably the most controversial book in comic book history, with the accurate (albeit graphic) depiction of child birth.  Loving this book as a first time reader!

3: Earth 2 #26

Taylor and Scott have created one of my new favorite characters in Val-Zod, Superman, and this issue is the show-down between the old and new! Can't wait!

2: Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spider-Man #4

Just look at that cover! Looks like "show-down" between old and new is a recurring theme this week :)

1: Superior Spider-Man #32

MORE SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN!!! And it leads directly into the Spider-Verse saga! Hopefully we get to see more of Spidey-Ock after Spider-Verse is over, too :)

What book are you looking forward to reading today?

#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?
