What’s On Comic Book Stands – December 31st

Here is the list of new comics, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 12/31/2013. As always, check with your retailer for availability, as not all releases may be on sale in all areas at the same time. Here is what’s on my pull-list this week.

A companion to the eight-issue adaptation of ‘The Star Wars’, this is an exclusive peek behind the scenes at the designs that have brought a new-yet incredibly familiar-galaxy to life. Included in this volume are the never-before-seen comics sequences that were used in Dark Horse’s pitch to George Lucas! ‘The Star Wars’ #0 is a must buy!

In what has quickly become the best book of the Green Lantern section of the New 52… A Red Will be Dead in ‘Red Lanterns #26! It’s Guy Gardner and five Red Lanterns on their first mission in Sector 2814 – a planetary army a billion strong, led by the evil fascist dictator Field Marshal Gensui. How can they all possibly survive? In fact, not all of them do!

‘Rocket Girl’ has become one of my new favorite books of 2013, in issue #3, changing the future is hard to do. Sparks fly when DaYoung becomes Most Wanted in two different New York Cities. Police in battling timestreams – 1986 and an alternate 2013 – want to get their girl. But bringing her in is going to take a coordinated effort from a mysterious player who straddles both worlds.

Damian Wayne has been bruised and beaten to a pulp… but nothing before will compare to his latest confrontation with the horde of villains in this issue. When pitted against Professor Pyg, DC villain’s month darling Jakanapes and other baddies, how will Damian survive – especially when he finds a certain clown waiting for him at the finish line? Find out in ‘Damian Son of Batman’ #3.

All this plus… ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ #10… Angela and Gamora go hunting.
