SPOTLIGHT ON NEW RELEASES :: MAY 19
In which Shawn looks at the New Releases and lets you know which ones she is most excited about!
1) Zatanna #1
Paul Dini and Stephane Roux launch a new ongoing series all about Zatanna! I love the art in this book. I am super excited to get it signed by Roux who will be at HeroesCon.
2) Avengers #1
One word: Kang! Two more words: The Conqueror! Brian Michael Bendis teams up with John Romita, Jr. to give us the start of Marvel’s Heroic Age. Here’s hoping this book will be fun and light-hearted! I want a self-contained, entertaining team-up book.
3) DC Universe Legacies #1
Basically this book is the Marvels Project of the DCU. This 10 issue mini-series gives us the origin of the universe DC style. Looks very promising.
4) Captain Easy HC vol 1 Soldier of Fortune
I know nothing about this book except that it looks amazing!
5) Girl Comics #2
Lovely cover by the one and only Jill Thompson. Who will also be at HeroesCon. Which is only two weeks away. Do you have your tickets yet? If not you better get on it! Also, the interiors look awesome too!














Well, Mrs Daughhetee–
What you need to know about Captain Easy is that it is one of the top five comic strips of all time.*
It is arguably the very first true adventure strip and it’s influences are still felt today–albeit by generational osmosis.
*– in case you were wondering, Krazy Kat, Popeye, Peanuts and Pogo are the other 4
And yes, if Calvin and Hobbes had gone on longer than 10 years and had maintained it’s excellence throughout that hypothetical extended run, it would have nestled itself comfortably in the top 6!
