What’s coming out this Wednesday? March 16 edition
Rainy March weather, but sunny comic pleasure!
A&A #1 - Rafer Roberts & David Lafuente
You might know local artist Rafer Roberts (aka @plasticfarm) from his super creepy Nightmare the Rat series in Magic Bullet, or from that “Thanos & Darkseid: Carpool Buddies of Doom” comic he did, or from his backup stories in Shutter, Tiger Lawyer and otherwise. But now he’s writing Archer & Armstrong! He’ll be leading one of our Comix Workshops this month as part of a signing here at Fantom on March 26–be there.
Help Us! Great Warrior TP - Madeleine Flores
In a world dominated by burly superheroes staring at each other waaaay too closely, it’s really nice to have a hero that enjoys eating pizza, rocking hot lipstick and being silly. After a ridiculously long wait, the complete collected edition of Madeleine Flores’ Help Us! Great Warrior is finally available from Boom, so come scoop it up this week!
Monstress #4 - Marjorie Liu & Sana Takeda
Maika’s dangerous journey continues as she searches for answers about her mother and the monster within herself. Inquisitrixes are still hot on her tail and tensions are high. Danger is always around the corner for this arcanic girl and her companions. The first arc of this epic fantasy is slowly coming to an end AND THERE’S STILL SO MUCH TO FIND OUT.
Gotham Academy vol. 2 - Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher, Karl Kerschl
The impending release of this vol. 2 made us realize we’ve never done a Gotham Academy book club! So we’re fixing that by doing one on April 17. DOOO IT. If you haven’t checked out this super underrated “Hogwarts in Gotham” teen mystery series yet, we’ve got vol. 1 at the store.
Amazing Forest #3 - Ulises Fariñas, Erick Freitas, Job Yamen, Skuds McKinley, Austin Breed, Zoe Crockett
This innovative new anthology series spearheaded by IDW workhorses Ulises Fariñas and Erick Freitas is catching our attention again with issue #3 because it features work by local DC-based artist (and Fantom subscriber!) @austinbreed. Check ittt
