What’s On Comic Book Stands – March 5th

Here is the list of new comics, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 3/5/2014. 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.

In ‘Avatar the Last Airbender: The Rift’, Part 1, Avatar Aang asks his friends to help him honor Yangchen’s Festival-one of the highest Air Nomad holidays, which hasn’t been celebrated in over one hundred years. But cryptic visits from the spirit of Avatar Yangchen herself lead Aang to discover a jointly owned Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom refinery-operating on land sacred to the Airbenders! Is this the cause of the pollution Aang finds there, or is a more mysterious menace afoot?

The final fate of Nightwing will be decided in ‘Forever Evil’ #6! The most unlikely of allies have set the Crime Syndicate in their sights – and they’re playing for keeps while the life of a hero hangs in the balance! Plus, the identity of the mysterious man in the hood is finally revealed! On a personal note, if they do decide to kill off Nightwing, the 7 remaining DC books on my pull-list will quickly be crossed off.

Nu-Earth, just another planet ravaged by a galaxy-wide war, its atmosphere poisoned by chemical weapons. Created to fight in such conditions were the G.I.s – genetically engineered infantrymen. But now only one remains, the man known as… Rogue Trooper. IDW is proud to re-introduce ‘Rogue Trooper” #1 in this all-new series!

Finally! ‘Jupiter’s Legacy’ #4 is out this week. Brandon and his Uncle Walter have instigated the superhero revolution, but there are those who would still stand against them. On the other side of the world, Chloe and Hutch are hiding with their enormous secret and hoping to evade the man charged with hunting renegade superhumans.

Do you think Magneto can carry his own title? Well we are about to find out with this week’s ‘Magneto’ #1. Once the deadliest, most feared mutant mastermind on the planet, MAGNETO is no longer the man he once was. After falling in with Cyclops and the X-Men, Erik Lehnsherr became just one more pawn in another man’s war. But now, determined to fight the war for mutantkind’s survival on his own terms, Magneto sets out to regain what he’s lost…and show the world exactly why it should tremble at the sound of his name. Magneto will safeguard the future of the mutant race by hunting down each and every threat that would see his kind extinguished-and bloody his hands that they may never be a threat again.

All this plus… ‘Green Arrow’ #29… “The Outsiders War” part 3! In the latest chapter of this game-changing epic, Green Arrow tries to take the fight to The Outsiders – but he’s badly outnumbered, and things are about to go from bad to worse! How can Ollie possibly survive?
