New Comic Books This Week – August 12th

Here is the list of new comic books, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 8/12/2015. 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.

Blood, death, and fire-the darkest kind of magic, it is all in ‘King Tiger’ #1. A monstrous secret from King Tiger’s past has found the mystic warrior, but can Tiger’s skills and sorcery triumph against an unthinkable supernatural obscenity linked to his own destiny? If the Tiger falls, the Dragon will rise!

This is the prequel to the latest DC Universe movie… ‘Justice League: Gods & Monsters’ #1! Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman: three powerful and dangerous loners, drawn together by a man who claims he can bring humanity to the next level of evolution. But are Jackson Alpert and his immortal Forever People what they claim to be? Will they save the Earth-or conquer it?

The comics crossover event of 2015 continues here in ‘Star Trek/Green Lantern’ #2! Hal Jordan meets Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise for the first time as six Lantern rings choose new bearers! But which Trek characters – and which alien races – will be selected? Iconic franchises collide for the first time in this all-new galaxy-spanning epic!

‘Drifter’ #7 kicks off an all new story arch! Stranded on the dark side of Ouro, Abram begins to scavenge the wreckage of his ship, determined to find a way back home. But he’s not the only one out here picking over the bones of the past.

You know him. You love him. Now, join him for his biggest caper as master of charm Lando Calrissian gets his very own comic book! Before he joined the rebellion, before he ran Cloud City, Lando made his way in the galaxy getting by on some swindles, some swagger, and a smile. Lobot at his side, Lando has a plan to steal a very valuable ship in ‘Lando’ #2, but has he bitten off more than he can chew?

Aric of Dacia is X-O Manowar, hero to humanity, leader of the remaining Visigoths, and a husband about to start a new family. He is also the bearer of Shanhara, and tantamount to a God in the eyes of the alien race known as the Vine. Now, in the aftermath of Dead Hand, the Vine need a new home and have chosen Earth – tearing Aric between two races that worship him, but each despise one another. ‘X-O Manowar’ #39 is an excellent jumping on point with kick off the Exodus story arch!

The world tips closer to the brink of World War III, and the unstoppable War-Monger tears a swath through the ranks of Unity, today and always! In ‘Unity’ #21, Can X-O Manowar, Livewire, Ninjak, and the Eternal Warrior fare any better than their predecessors? War-Monger took apart the rosters of decades past, and now Unity faces their most implacable enemy, and they don’t even know they’re already losing!

All this plus… ‘The Walking Dead’ #145… Blood for Blood.
