What’s On Comic Book Stands – October 23rd

Here is the list of new comics, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 10/23/2013. 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.

Matt Kindt’s latest self-contained issue delves into the history of the woman at the center of the Mind Management conspiracy! What was the Eraser’s role at MIND MGMT, and why is she intent on bringing it back? See what is up in ‘Mind MGMT’ #16.

In ‘Red Lanterns’ #24 “Lights Out” continues with part four! Can the Lanterns cooperate with each other long enough to defeat Relic? If Hal Jordan thought Guy Gardner was difficult before, just wait till he meets Guy Gardner Red Lantern!

Cartoon Network’s hit animated series is back at IDW with an all new ‘Samurai Jack’ #1! The legendary samurai known only as ‘Jack’ is stranded in a strange future ruled by the demonic wizard, Aku. His quest to return back to the past has tested him many times, but now the stakes are higher than ever. Can an ancient relic known as the Rope of Eons finally take him home? Writer Jim Zub (Skullkickers, Street Fighter) and artist Andy Suriano (Character Designer on the original Samurai Jack TV series) begin a new era of samurai adventure!

Kelly Sue Deconnick & Emma Rios reunite to bring you an all-new ongoing series, ‘Pretty Deadly’ #1, that marries the magical realism of Sandman with the western brutality of Preacher.  Death’s daughter rides the wind on a horse made of smoke and her face bears the skull marks of her father. Her tale of retribution is as beautifully lush as it is unflinchingly savage.

‘Indestructible Hulk’ #14 continues the  “Hulk Agent of  T.I.M.E.” Part 5! The secret of the Chronarchists — and their impact on the entire MARVEL UNIVERSE!  One last time-trip–to a certain Gamma Bomb explosion of yore! In order to save the timestream, Hulk will have to undo his own origin!

In the FINAL ISSUE ‘Supurbia’ #12 ends the second volume with this shocking, heartbreaking issue. The battle has been brought to the homefront…literally. War rages in the neighborhood, as the Meta Legion strives to save Zari from the clutches of Hector Hunt, and one of the housewives makes the ultimate sacrifice…

All this plus… ‘Sex Criminals’ #2… So who’s the boy with the same sexy-time time-stopping gifts as Suzie? Meet John, who until last night thought he could freeze time with his junk. At long last not alone, what kind of horny hijinx will he and Suzie get up to together? What ANY of us would do if having sex stopped the whole world: We’d do crimes. (For Mature Readers)
