New Comic Books This Week – May 21st

Here is the list of new comic books, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 5/21/2014. 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.

Getting cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi and being rejected by his former Sith master, Darth Sidious isn’t going to defeat Darth Maul. In fact, it only makes him mad enough to take on the galaxy — with an army of Mandalorians! A part of ‘The Clone Wars’ season 6 you never saw! Check out ‘Star Wars Darth Maul Son of Dathomir’ #1. 

It’s evil versus evil in the shocking “take-no-prisoners” conclusion to FOREVER EVIL! What will be the fate of Lex Luthor and his Injustice League? Who will live – and who will die? And why is The Hooded Man the most feared being from the Syndicate’s world? Do not miss this startling finale that will leave the DC universe reeling and reveal the secrets to the future! Check out the exciting conclusion with ‘Forever Evil’ #7.

‘Saga’ returns with issue #19! New planet, new adversaries, and a very new direction, all from the same old Hugo Award-winning team. 

The hard-hitting conclusion to the first story arc in ‘Rocket Girl’ #5! Teen time-cop DaYoung Johansson uncovers a thing or two about both New York Cities, the connection between past and future, and the secrets that people don’t even know they keep. Growing up is hard to do — and sometimes it proves to be impossible. 

“BANNER D.O.A”  gets ready to take you into a new twist in Hulk History in ‘Hulk’ #3! Banner goes to a dark place and could take the Avengers with him. Only Hulk can save Banner…but will he? After last issue’s surprise resurrection, a new threat enters the scene.

From Valiant Entertainment… ‘Prelude to Armor Hunters: Part 2’ ‘X-O MANOWAR’ #24. Who, or what, is the man called Malgam? Aric of Dacia, a fifth-century warrior bonded to alien armor and transplanted to the modern day, is now the most important weapon in the arsenal of M.E.R.O., the top-secret American intelligence organization that monitors extraterrestrial life on Earth. In order to protect his people, Aric must undergo dangerous missions in space, but nothing can prepare him for the stunning secret that awaits him in the stars! The march toward ‘X-O Manowar’ #25 — and the coming of the Armor Hunters — continues here in an essential prelude to the Valiant Universe event of 2014!

All this plus… ‘Invincible’ #111… A new beginning for Invincible as things take a turn down a dark path. Everything changes as Invincible is betrayed by one of his own. You won’t want to miss this explosive issue #1… 1… 1! It packs the punch of THREE relaunched number one issues! IN ONE BOOK!
