What’s On Comic Book Stands – February 5th

Here is the list of new comics, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 2/5/2014. 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.

‘The Star Wars’ #5 rages on! Remember the scene in ‘Star Wars’ where the Sith Knight traps General Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Annikin Starkiller, and the alien Han Solo-and they have to fight their way free and steal an Imperial starship? No? That’s because this is ‘The Star Wars’ – based on George Lucas’s original rough-draft screenplay! Experience a ‘Star Wars’ that never was!

Don’t miss this amazing flip-issue with two covers at a special price of just $2.99! This DOUBLE ISSUE contains both “Green Lantern’ #28 and ‘Red Lanterns’ #28! With dozens of sectors in open rebellion against the Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan is faced with a crisis in the sector most important to him: 2814, home of Earth…as well as Ysmault, home of the Red Lanterns. Hal made a dangerous bargain with Guy Gardner, and now it’s time to pay up! Plus: Guy and the Red Lanterns take over policing Sector 2814! And you’ll want to keep reading ‘Red Lanterns’ next month to see what happens to their newest member: Supergirl!

I’ll admit I was really, REALLY late to the ‘Locke & Key’ party, but thanks to the wonder that is the Comixology sales I was able to get caught up and now I’ll have a chance to finish out this amazing story. In ‘Locke & Key’ Volume 6 Alpha and Omega, the shadows have never been darker and the end has never been closer. Turn the key and open the last door; it’s time to say goodbye. Omega and Alpha, the final two storylines of the New York Times bestselling series, are collected together to offer a thunderous and compelling conclusion to ‘Locke & Key’. An event not to be missed!

“LIFT,” continues with Part 2 in ‘Lazarus’ #6. While Johanna continues to try and rehabilitate her image and prove her loyalty to the Family, Forever investigates rumors of the Freemen Resistance in Los Angeles. In Montana, the Barrets make a fateful decision, and begin the long journey to Denver.

For years, The Punisher has waged a war on crime in New York City with an array of very large guns, but a lead on a major source of drugs, weapons, and more has set his many sights due west. NOW! Frank Castle’s in the City of Angels, looking to give the devil his due. Things aren’t all they appear, though, with a highly trained military hit squad hot on Frank’s tail. Caught between a posse of Punisher predators and targets of his own one-man-war, Frank’s manifest destiny may be a shallow grave! Check out the all new ‘Punisher’ #1.

All this plus… ‘Loki Agent of Asgard’ #1… Old God – New Trickster! Kid Loki’s all grown up – and the God of Mischief is stronger, smarter, sexier and just plain sneakier than ever before. As Asgardia’s one-man secret service, he’s ready to lie, cheat, steal, bluff and snog his way through the twistiest, turniest and most treacherous missions the All-Mother can throw at him… starting with a heart-stopping heist on Avengers Tower – and the death of Thor! And that’s just the beginning!
