Books shipping July (and later!)…
Hey there everyone, thought I’d jump ahead and take a quick look at some big books coming out in July/August.
This is by no means a complete list of all the new titles headed our way but more a tease for some of the big books and an opportunity for you to guarantee copies if there’s something you like the look of!
I’ll try and go through them quickly, you can check out blurb and covers attached…
Terminal is a brand new ongoing superhero epic from Robert Kirkman, Joe Casey and an assortment of superstar artists including Andy Kubert and David Finch. Yes, that’s right, a new superhero book from the co-creators of properties like The Walking Dead, Invincible and Ben 10. Oh, and it’ll have blind bags as well. I strongly recommend pre-ordering if you want a copy of this and please specify if you want a blind bag for #1.
Do A Powerbomb Black & White Editions is exactly what it sounds like. Two issues of the original Daniel Warren Johnson series bundled together and reprinted in glorious black and white! DWJ is crazy popular at the moment so don’t miss out on these.
100 Bullets US of Anger sees the original creative team of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso return to their epic crime saga. 100 Bullets is one of my favourite comics of all time and I can’t wait for this one.
DNX is this years big x-crossover promising far reaching consequences for a lot of your favourite characters. Also, yes, it’s those blind bags again! Let us know if you want to guarantee yourself one.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer returns in July with a new series written by current Absolute Wonder Woman scribe Kelly Thompson. I have a feeling this one is going to be big!
And a couple of fun projects from IDW to wrap things up with the Sonic x Godzilla crossover and a brand new Hello Kitty comic. Each first issue of Hello Kitty will come polybagged with an exclusive sticker sheet!

When Marilyn Howe’s search for her missing sister Alessandra puts her in the center of this conflict, she’ll learn that the power to save the world comes from unlocking your genetic code and giving up everything you thought you knew about yourself…if you survive the experience.
Perfect for fans of INVINCIBLE and X-MEN, nothing can prepare you for the most violent and unpredictable superhero series of the year!

100 Bullets US of Anger
HAPPY 250TH, AMERICA. LONO’S BACK. YOU WON’T SURVIVE THE YEAR. Not many people made it out alive from the fall of the Trust in 100 Bullets. Lono did just barely and it sent him spiraling on a years-long international odyssey.
His one-time protege, Loop Hughes, was the only one smart enough to walk away clean. But now tragedy has come knocking on Loop’s door, and the scent of blood has attracted a dangerous stray dog.
Lono’s back in the United States, and he’s on the hunt…through a network of good ol’ boys and militias, megachurches, millionaires, and madmen.
