Here is the list of new comics, trade paperbacks and more shipping 05/04/2011. As always check with your retailer for availability, as not all releases may be on sale in all areas at the same time.
I hope you all are as excited as I am to hit up your local comic book shop this week. Why the added excitement? Well, because Saturday May 7th is Free Comic Book Day! Free Comic Book Day is celebrating 10 years of inviting new readers young and old to comics on the first Saturday each May. Before we get into the lists of what is hitting stands this week, we’ll take a look at what the free books are for Free Comic Book Day 2011!
Some books on my pull list this week I’m really looking forward to this week are; B.P.R.D. The Dead Remembered #2, Fear Itself Book 2 and Batman Beyond #5. If I can get over my anger at Sony and the downed PlayStation Network, I might check out DCU Online Legends #7 as the epic series continues, showing the dramatic last stand of the future JLA! In this issue, Batman has survived horrific injuries and outlived all his allies in an effort to implement a final, desperate gambit. When circumstances rely on Lex Luthor, there is only one question. Is Lex Luthor trustworthy?
All this plus… May has finally arrived and with it Flashpoint! Make sure to check back regularly for all the latest Flashpoint coverage starting later this month.
