New Comic Books This Week – March 1st

Here is the list of new comic books, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 3/1/2017. 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.

It’s out with the old myths and in with the new as a nineteen-year-old chess prodigy pulls Excalibur from the stone and becomes queen. Now, magic, romance, Fae, Merlin, and more await her! Lend her your axe as the creators of Amelia Cole start a new age of adventure! Don’t miss the all-new ‘The Once And Future Queen’ #1!

“I AM BANE” part three continues in ‘Batman’ #18! Bane broke the bat before, but it wasn’t enough-now he’s going to break everyone else! Bane is coming, and no one is safe!

This story charts the lives, loves, and losses of a troubled family and a vanishing town across three decades. Patrick Pike, a fading literary star who reluctantly returns to the once-thriving factory town where he grew up, is quickly drawn back into the dramas of his two adult siblings, his overbearing mother, and his brow-beaten father, all of whom are still haunted by different versions of his youngest brother, Tommy, who drowned decades ago. Check out Jeff Lemire’s latest ‘Loyal City’ #1!

As Matt Trakker struggles with the devastating bombshell about his true parentage, Miles Mayhem tightens his grip on the M.A.S.K. team, revealing he’s slowly poisoned their bloodstream with Ore-13 radiation in ‘M.A.S.K.’ #3! With Trakker’s team either captured or injured, is it too late for M.A.S.K. to stop V.E.N.O.M.’s nefarious operation?

Versus their counterparts, the Freelancers! And you’ll be surprised to see who’s left standing at the end of the battle in ‘Champions’ #6!

All this, plus… ‘Superman #18… “SUPERMAN REBORN” part one! In DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH #1, the enigmatic Mr. Oz told this Superman, “You and your family are not what you believe you are. And neither was the fallen Superman.” Now, in the first Rebirth crossover between SUPERMAN and ACTION COMICS, the shocking truth behind Oz’s words is revealed. It begins with one of Oz’s prisoners escaping, and ends in a tragic moment for Lois and Superman. The covers by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray and the variant covers by Gary Frank for SUPERMAN #18-19 and ACTION COMICS #975-976 will connect to form a single vertical image.
