Comic Book Wednesday: November 13th Picks

When was the last time you had time to read all of your new comics? Usually, I'm able to read at least two before I have to try to find time to read the rest. As a reviewer, I need to carve out more time just for reading my comics. I will admit I'm not posting as many comic book reviews as I used to and that has to change because I want to share the good (and not so good) books that I'm reading.

Anway, on to the books. I don't any new books just my usually group but I do want to mention that today marks the finale issue of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. This is one wacky little series that I'm going to miss reading but I'm sure at some point Squirrel Girl will be back with a new series.


Boom! Studio


Book: Go Go Power Rangers #25

Description:

NECESSARY EVIL CONTINUES!

The Secret Origin of the OMEGA RANGERS continues as Jason and the Blue Emissary search for new recruits to the ALL NEW POWER RANGER TEAM. But when Zordon and Alpha-5 go missing, Jason must choose what's more important - his friends or protecting the universe from the fallout of SHATTERED GRID!





DC Comics


Book: The Batman's Grave #2 (of 12)

Description:

A man was murdered, and the Batman is in his head-and he knows how it happened. All he has to do now is survive his own deduction. Don’t miss the second chapter of this new thriller from writer Warren Ellis and artist Bryan Hitch!






Book: Catwoman #17

Description:

Selina Kyle reconnects with her criminal roots, but to be Gotham City’s top thief again, she has to take out the boss. Using the gift given to her by Lex Luthor, she finally has the key to everything Raina Creel wants-and Catwoman is going to get it first. Which all sounds dandy in theory, but Creel has come too far and put up with too much humiliation from Catwoman to let her win again. It’s a Year of the Villain showdown, but who here is the baddest baddie?






Book: Detective Comics #1015

Description:

For centuries children have been told to be careful about what they wish for, and after years of yearning for his beloved to return, Mr. Freeze finally gets it. But frozen hearts don’t melt easily, and after years in cryostasis, Nora Fries is the ultimate ice queen. Gotham and Victor Fries will never be the same again.






Book: Gotham City Monsters #3

Description:

The monsters have united in the aftermath of Melmoth’s attack, but one of their own has gone missing! Andrew Bennett, a.k.a. I, Vampire, has gone straight to the source of the evil that threatens the city, but the fanged one finds attacking Melmoth’s acolytes is biting off a little more than he can chew. Frankenstein leads Killer Croc, Lady Clayface, Orca, and the mysterious Red Phantom on a chase through the Gotham underground to try to rescue Bennett and shut down whatever Melmoth has planned next. But will their showdown at the Gotham City Zoo attract the attention of any of Gotham’s other protectors? Batwoman, perhaps?






Book: Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #3 (of 6)

Description:

Down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass, and what did Harley and Ivy find there? A tea party with some very unexpected and uninvited guests! It turns out the Mad Hatter has a game of his own to play, and Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn must decide between fight and flight. And is that gift Lex Luthor dropped off for Ivy actually of any use, or is it just a steaming pile of manure?





Marvel Comics


Book: Marvel Tales featuring: Doctor Strange

Description:

By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth, Doctor Strange works his magic as we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the House of Ideas with the era-spanning MARVEL TALES! This anthology series shines a spotlight on fan-favorite characters, features timeless stories and highlights some of our most impressive talent from the past eight decades. First, the legendary pairing of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko debut the incomparable Stephen Strange as Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme in STRANGE TALES (1951) #110! Then, in DOCTOR STRANGE (1968) #169-170, Roy Thomas and Dan Adkins offer their take on Strange’s origin — and serve up a rematch with his first foe, the dream-manipulating Nightmare! And the skillful spellcaster called Clea joins the fight against the nefarious Nicodemus, who’s out to steal the sorcerer’s soul in a memorable tale from MARVEL FANFARE (1982) #5 by Chris Claremont and Marshall Rogers!






Book: The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #50

Description:

FINAL ISSUE!

This is it! After 58 issues (comics numbering is, dare we say: nuts), an OGN and a whole bunch of both eating nuts AND kicking butts, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl reaches its 50th and final issue!

When we say “The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl’s final issue” though, we mean the *comic book*, not the character. Doreen Green will be fine! She’s fine!...OR IS SHE? Because in our previous issue it really seemed like things WEREN’T fine and since it’s our last issue maybe we’re feeling that since anything COULD happen then anything SHOULD happen! There’s only one way to find out, and you’re looking at a solicit text for it! Friendship, explosions, and friendships forged during explosions: it all comes down to this!
