NEW for Wednesday, January 18, 2023! Okay, yes, there’s a full list of BRAND-NEW RELEASES, and we could take this time to point out a few (Chip Zdarsky’s PUBLIC DOMIAN collection! WASP #1! The return of the I KILL GIANTS team!) but sometimes the surprise is just as good as the books themselves, you know? Imagine just browsing the NEW THIS WEEK wall and finding something you didn’t even know existed! How amazing is that? Pretty great, right? So we’re not going to deprive you of that! Here’s to the magic of finding something new! See you soon!! #newreleases #newthisweek #newcomics #newgraphicnovels #shoplocal #keepreadingcomics #challengerscomics #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovels #new #dontmissout #chipzdarsky #publicdomain #alewing #wasp #timseeley #timseeleyslucky #immortalsergeant #joekelly #kenniimura #barbaric #lazarusplanet (at CHALLENGERS Comics + Conversation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnifJRsrZAi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

NEW for Wednesday, January 4, 2023! A Scarlet Witch haiku: Wanda Maximoff Wielder of Chaos Magic Is the Scarlet Witch Can you judge the quality of a year by its first week of releases? If you can, we’re all in good hands for 2023. Matt Kindt has a great-looking new spy series from Dark Horse featuring a spy who doesn’t know he’s a spy! It’s SPY SUPERB! Marvel gives us a new SCARLET WITCH series with Sara Pichelli on art! And a Peter David-written JOE FIXIT mini-series! DC Comics is business-as-usual with new issues of BATMAN, DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL, POISON IVY and more. Image has SPAWN, the very-overlooked KAYA (it’s really good, in an AMULET way), and the almost-over STILLWATER. BOOM! Studios debuts the new Rob Guillory satirical sci-fi blockbuster series MOSELY! All of those are just the beginning of a whole new year of COMICS!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! #newreleases #newthisweek #newcomics #newgraphicnovels #shoplocal #keepreadingcomics #challengerscomics #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovels #new #dontmissout #happynewyear #2023 #thankyouforagreatyear #thecomicsoftomorrowstartnow #scarletwitch #kaya #mattkindt #spysuperb #joefixit #mosley (at CHALLENGERS Comics + Conversation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnAC5ebLhwV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A TMNT/MMPR haiku: A TMNT/MMPR haiku: Teens with attitude Meet heroes in a half shell For the second time Traditionally the week between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day is a small one. In fact, some years the publishers would decide to skip it altogether. That, my friends, is definitely NOT the case this year… Here we are, worried about a possible blizzard interfering with all Holiday plans (as of this writing) and keeping us indoors this weekend, and both Marvel Comics and DC Comics are providing their own blizzard, in the form of the biggest single-issue week of the year!! And it’s not even that many New #1’s. NO new ongoings at all! But a few one-shots and mini-series. And just a whole lot of other new comic book issues… Thank you for shopping with us throughout the year and here’s to an amazing 2023!! #newreleases #newthisweek #newcomics #newgraphicnovels #shoplocal #keepreadingcomics #challengerscomics #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovels #new #dontmissout #happynewyear #2023 #thankyouforagreatyear #mmpr #tmnt #mmprtmnt #tmntmmpr #bookofslaughter #timeless2022 #starwarshighrepublic #starwarshighrepublictheblade #stanlee #stanlee100 #deadboydetectives #sandmanuniverse (at CHALLENGERS Comics + Conversation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmtBrFKOri2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

NEW for Wed 12/21/22 A Something is Killing the Children haiku: Erica Slaughter. Something is killing children. That is the whole poem. Such a cheery way to usher in the week of New Releases for Christmas, right? There are so few new #1’s this week, and as this is being written it’s James Tynion IV’s birthday, why not show Erica Slaughter (the lead from “Something is Killing the Children”) some love? ‘Tis the Season, after all! Each week we use this section to highlight the new first issues and other notable books being released, but let’s face it; Christmas is almost here and by now you’re in full Holiday prep mode, OR you’re doing your best to focus on other things, and we value your time, so we’ll skip it this week. Instead we’ll just say thanks for trusting us with your Comic Book and Graphic Novel needs throughout 2022 and we hope to see even more of you in 2023! We literally can’t do this without you. Oh, but we will quickly point out DC Comics’ deluge of new HC collections, most complete with a second cover exclusive to comic shops (yes, that means variant covers on graphic novels now)! There’s a bunch, so maybe they can help with some last-minute gift-giving ideas. #newreleases #newthisweek #newcomics #newgraphicnovels #shoplocal #keepreadingcomics #challengerscomics #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovels #new #dontmissout (at CHALLENGERS Comics + Conversation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbzJuyrplk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

NEW for WEDNESDAY, December 14, 2022 A Batman/Spawn haiku: Two Dark Warriors. Many Variant Covers. December 14th BATMAN/SPAWN is realistically the BIGGEST comic book release of 2022. Yes, it has a million covers, but its importance in getting lapsed readers excited cannot be overstated. Not that that’s you; you wouldn’t be reading this if you were a lapsed reader! But don’t worry, you can also be excited by this book! Or you can be excited for the newest DC Tom King maxiseries, DANGER STREET! It’s about REALLY wanting to be in the Justice League… Or you can be wowed by the GORGEOUS new BOOM! Studios book VICIOUS CIRCLE #1. Time-traveling hitmen with Lee Bermejo changing his art for each era!! Or you can be weirded out by ART BRUT, the original comic from the creators of Image’s ICE CREAM MAN! Equal parts police procedural, hyper-fantasy, and psychological thriller-a veritable Pollock-splatter of comics genres tossed onto one giant pulpy canvas! Or you can just come in and browse the shelves yourself. You’re guaranteed to find something you’ll love this very versatile week of new comics! #newreleases #newthisweek #newcomics #newgraphicnovels #shoplocal #keepreadingcomics #challengerscomics #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovels #new #dontmissout #batmanspawn #spawnbatman #batman #spawn #darknight #hellspawn #dangerstreet #tomking #jorgefornes #leebermejo #artbrut (at CHALLENGERS Comics + Conversation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmI-ToROJOV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

NEW for WEDNESDAY, December 7, 2022 Feast or famine!! Last week was one of the smallest New Release weeks for all of 2022 and this week is one of the very biggest! Hope you don’t have a budget because you’re gonna go over it… One of the books we’ve been most excited for and hyping for the last month is out this week— ALL AGAINST ALL from Image! It’s like Alien meets Tarzan but reversed. The GARGOYLES of your youth are back, in comic book for, and by Greg Weisman, their creator! DARK WEB, the Spider-Man/X-Men winter crossover starts now; Liana Kangas illustrates a new series from BOOM! with KNOW YOUR STATION #1; Tim Seeley has a futuristic new Image series HEXWARE #1, The Radiant Black Massive-Verse expands with RADIANT PINK #1, and there’s so much more! So. Much. Make sure you stretch your back out before you come in and remember to lift with your legs!! #newreleases #newthisweek #newcomics #newgraphicnovels #shoplocal #keepreadingcomics #challengerscomics #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovels #new #dontmissout (at CHALLENGERS Comics + Conversation) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl3yhMtLyIc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

NEW for WEDNESDAY, November 30, 2022 This is one of those pesky 5th weeks, months that have 5 Wednesdays, so the publisher output is… a little different than usual. As evidenced by DC only releasing Annuals, One-Shots or #1’s. But there are some pretty bright spots in this list of new stuff, such as the hyper-violent, serial-killing, cannibalistic furry book PLUSH from Image, as well as 2 great #2 issues from BOOM!, BRIAR and DAMN THEM ALL. And look, there’s plenty more to talk about this week, but you’re probably still in a food-related coma right now, and information retention may not be a priority, so we’ll end this here. #newreleases #newthisweek #newcomics #newgraphicnovels #shoplocal #keepreadingcomics #challengerscomics #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovels #new #dontmissout #plush #briar #damnthemall #kalelreturns #nubia #wildstorm (at CHALLENGERS Comics + Conversation) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clli0GjrkXM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
