ANIMAL MAN VOL 06: FLESH AND BLOOD [(W) Jamie Delano (A) Steve Pugh & Various (CA) Brian Bolland]ANIMAL MAN VOL 06: FLESH AND BLOOD 

[(W) Jamie Delano (A) Steve Pugh & Various (CA) Brian Bolland]

Delano's brilliant run on Animal Man collected for the first time. Delano remaining uncollected by Vertigo is one of the great travesties of modern comics publishing.


Forty pages of story and art in this contemporary fantasy adventure series written and painted by STJEPAN SEJIC. How do you pronounce STJEPAN  anyway?





Do you like Dick?  I bet you love Dick? I bet you'd love to read a comic FULL of Dick. They should have done a double sized first issue so I could make big Dick jokes. Stop Dicking about and buy this comic.







MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL COLLECTION VOL 67: X-MEN: TWILIGHT OF THE MUTANTS HC [(W) Arnold Drake, Roy Thomas (A) Jim Steranko, Neal A

MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL COLLECTION VOL 67: X-MEN: TWILIGHT OF THE MUTANTS HC 

[(W) Arnold Drake, Roy Thomas (A) Jim Steranko, Neal Adams


Steranko's brief X-Men run and the beginning of Neal Adams'.  'nuff said true believer.


It's like an IDW Artist's edition  but not from IDW.  That's why it's not called Artists's Edition but Gallery Series instead.












Teenage sci sfi.



Like Spider-Man but from the future.



Based on the novel by Guillermo Del Toro, the same as the imminent TV series.


It's got HARLEY QUINN  in it!


If you've never read Usagi Yojimbo before this is a great place to sample it.

100TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1 FANTASTIC FOUR [(W) James Stokoe (A/CA) Joanna Estep]100TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1 FANTASTIC FOUR 

[(W) James Stokoe (A/CA) Joanna Estep]

What might the Fantastic Four be linke on it's 100th anniversary in 2061?  Probably not like this.


A side story to the original Battle Royale.


Gorgeous artwork from Jose-Luis Garcia-Lopez (or José Luis García-López and the website system screwed-up the accents)

Small size follow up to the oversized (enormous, geddit?) one shot.


There's a Guardians of the Galaxy film coming, in case you haven't heard.  Here's a spin-off from the main series.

There's a Guardians of the Galaxy film coming, in case you haven't heard.  Here's a spin-off from the main series. This one is a story told just with words and occasional illustrations not like the sort of story you lot are used to.

For all you horror fans out there.


All of The Infinity Gauntlet event in one massive book. Full of cosmiccy goodness.

It's got THE ORIGINAL WRITER in it.


Miller. Simonson. Robocop. Terminator.  Back in print after a long time unavailable.


There's a Guardians of the Galaxy film coming, in case you haven't heard.  Here's a spin-off from the main series.

There's a Guardians of the Galaxy film coming, in case you haven't heard.  Here's a spin-off from the main series.

Tech Jacket, created by the writer of the Walking Dead, now written by someone else.

DEAD BODY ROAD [(W) Justin Jordan (A/CA) Matteo Scalera, Moreno DiNisio]DEAD BODY ROAD 

[(W) Justin Jordan (A/CA) Matteo Scalera, Moreno DiNisio]

Image comics crime story.


You remember them, surely?  From the Sandman.










Another Chance to get #0, this time with bonus content and new cover art.


Hulk drawn by one of the greatest super-hero artists the industry has ever known. It's got the original X-Men in it too.


New Templesmith (and friends), 'nuff said.


New from the writer of The Walking Dead.  Sure to be a hit (someone has already just tried to buy 15 copies from the website).


All of Sin City in one HUGE book. Eighty quid might seem expensive but it's less than the combined price of the seven paperbacks.


Geoff Johns, you like him, don't you?  John Romita Jr, you never expected him to be drawing DC Comics, did you?

Peanuts as you've never seen it before unless you've had the opportunity to see Charles Shultz' original art boards

Pinnochio vs vampires. He lies then uses his nose as a stake.  'nuff said.


Sex Criminals is back.  This is the first issue after the vol 1 trade paperback. No more excuses.

Based on Harlan Elison's original version of the story.


Kaluta in big format.  It's gorgeous and has naked ladies in it.


Remember when you liked Hellblazer?  Well, this is much more like Hellblazer than DC's current Constantine series.  Give it a try.


Gillen, McKelvie, Image Comics.
