New Comic Books This Week – May 2nd

Here is the list of new comic books, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 5/2/2018. 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.

Avengers #1

Marvel Comics

(W) Jason Aaron (A/CA) Ed McGuinness

Thor Odinson. Steve Rogers. Tony Stark. The Big Three of the Avengers are reunited at last! And just in time to save the world from total annihilation at the hands of their most powerful enemies yet: the 2000-foot-tall space gods known as Celestials. Behold the coming of the Final Host. Who will answer the call to assemble for a wild new era of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? Hint: one of them has a flaming skull for a head. And what strange, world-shaking connection exists between the Final Host and Odin’s ancient band of Prehistoric Avengers?

Alien Toilet Monsters #1

OMNIMORPHIC

(W) Eric Barnett, Carol Zara (A/CA) Eric Barnett

Alien Toilet Monsters is a new series that finally answers the age-old question: “Are we alone in the universe?” The answer is both yes, and… well, no. You see, it depends entirely on which universe you mean. Forbidden worlds, circular love triangles, and assuredly hard sci-fi, Alien Toilet Monsters is a densely packed mini-series aimed at mature readers; it’s best quantified as a nihilistic satire that shamelessly probes the underside of humanity. Poop jokes not included.

Batman #46

DC Comics

(W) Tom King (A) Tony S. Daniel, Sandu Florea (CA) Tony S. Daniel

“The Travelers” Part Two! Booster Gold’s wedding present has screwed up Batman’s past, and done even more damage to his present. Now, with the Caped Crusader himself refusing to cooperate, the only way for Booster to correct this runaway timeline is to get Catwoman on his side. But with her own past altered, can he make Catwoman recognize the qualities in her husband-to-be that brought them together in the first place? Plus, if Batman isn’t doing his job, Gotham City may become way more dangerous than our bumbling time-traveler might be ready for.

The Walking Dead #179

Image Comics/Skybound

(W) Robert Kirkman (A) Charlie Adlard & Various (CA) Charlie Adlard, Dave Stewart

“New World Order,” Part Five. The journey home. There’s nothing worse than returning with fewer people than you left with.

Death Or Glory #1
