Strange Adventures #2 By King, Gerads, Mann - What is the truth about Adam Strange? When an activist who publicly accused him of war crimes ends up dead, the public begins to doubt Strange's stories about his adventures on the planet Rann—and he's even starting to doubt himself. It's going to take a special investigator to get the truth, and he's going to have to tear apart Adam Strange's life and reputation to do it.

Batman #92 By Tynion IV, March - The greatest heist in history is underway in Gotham City, courtesy of the mysterious crimemaster known as the Designer! Batman knows what he needs to do, but in order to stop the plot, he must first escape the most ingenious death trap the Riddler has ever devised!

Harley Quinn #72 By Humphries, Basri - Some mysteries just don't want to be solved! As Harley digs deeper into the death of her friend, it becomes clear that there are forces in Los Angeles that don't want her this close to the truth. Will Harley be broken by the City of Angels, or will she be able to avenge her friend's death? And will she be able to convince Booster Gold that he is not her crime-fighting partner and never will be?

Justice League #44 By Venditti, Xermanico - Cold war kickoff! After receiving a distress signal from Aquaman, the Justice League travels to Antarctica, where they discover an ancient prison at the bottom of the legendary pit of Tartarus. But who picked the locks within? Freed from their shackles, creatures of myth and horror emerge to battle the team, while the League must confront their own personal demons. What exactly lies at the base of this well, and what will be left of the Justice League when they discover its secret?

Justice League Odyssey #20 By Abnett, Conrad - As Darkseid threatens reality as we know it, Epoch, the Lord of Time, has a plan to stop him…but will that plan end in even greater disaster for the Multiverse? Green Lantern Jessica Cruz and her Justice League Odyssey misfits have one chance to avert catastrophe, but they'll have to steal Epoch's time technology to do it…and risk unraveling the entire history of the DC Universe!

The Dreaming #20 By Spurrier, Evely - The unbelievable finale of Simon Spurrier and Bilquis Evely's Sandman Universe epic is here! The citizens of the Dreaming make their final play against the artificial intelligence that seeks to replace them with cold rationality…and the fate of Dream is revealed!

Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san Volume 4 By Honda - Honda-san no longer works in bookselling, but the tales of bookstore antics don't stop, as she turns to interviewing those still on the inside!

Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai Vol 1 By Kamoshida, Nanamiya - Bunny girls do not live in libraries. This is simply common sense. And yet, that's exactly where Sakuta runs into one in the wild. More bewildering is who the bunny girl is: Mai Sakurajima, an upperclassman and well-known actress currently taking a break from industry work. Wanting to find out more about the mystery surrounding Mai (and maybe get a little closer to her in the process), Sakuta launches an investigation to figure out what's making this bunny girl invisible to everyone around them.

Fire Force Vol 18 By Ohkubo - The city of Tokyo is in the grip of a reign of terror! Possessed by demons, people have begun to burst into flame, leading to the establishment of a special firefighting team: the Pyrofighters, ready to roll on a moment's notice to fight spontaneous combustion anywhere it might break out. But the team is about to get a very unique addition: Shinra, a boy who possesses the unique power to run at the speed of a rocket, leaving behind the famous "devil's footprints" (and destroying his shoes in the process). Can the Pyrofighters discover the source of this strange phenomenon and put a stop to it? Or will the city burn to ashes first?

Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Volume 11 By Akatsuki - With the Iris Escort mission behind them, Kazuma and the gang relax in the lap of luxury at the Royal Palace, but it isn't long before they receive an unexpected visitor. A wild Komekko appeared! They decide to look after her for a while and bring her back to the mansion. But once she starts gushing about how amazing Axel's adventurers are, they can't resist the urge to flex and end up accepting a rather troublesome quest from the adventurers guild...

One Piece Vol 93 By Oda - Robin infiltrates the Shogun's palace in order to collect valuable intelligence, but she's quickly spotted by Orochi's henchmen. Can she be ninja-like and make a stealthy escape? Meanwhile, after his painful defeat to Kaido, how will Luffy escape the excavation labor camp?!

Golden Kamuy Vol. 15 By Noda - After the chaos at Abashiri prison, Asirpa, Shiraishi and Kiroanke head for Karafuto, unaware that Kiroranke has betrayed them for his own goals. The untamed island of Karafuto is even further north than Hokkaido, and home to both Japanese and Russian settlements. Asirpa is also now the only person who can decipher the map on the tattooed skins. Sugimoto, wounded and captured by the 7th Division after the battle, makes a deal with Tsurumi to go along. The search for the Ainu gold moves to a harsh new environment!

Messi, if you missed it, DC nixed digital comics.
The Dini/Templeton Batman Adventures digital-first thing is the only big one this week.

Would Skullface Bookseller Honda be a better read than it was a watch? I'm all for slice of life job stuff but I zoned out during the anime.

I enjoyed the first volume and some jokes. And it was a good look into how a store is run. But it did get a little repetitive and was not as consistently hilarious as I had anticipated.

Technically there will be digital comics... at scan sites😢
Someone has to have gotten hold of something.

There's at least gonna be a $1000 listing for Batman #92 on ebay.

I feel guilty about being fine during this whole situation. With the whole world, I mean. Not comics. Because things were really not fine for me for large stretches of my life, so I have a ton of empathy for anyone struggling. I've been there. But now the world is on fire, and I'm fine, and it doesn't sit well with me.

Your shop shouldn't be pulling duplicates.

SpaceSong touching himself right now because Golden Kamuy got a shoutout.
No, I'm touching myself cuz all them men in GK are so beefy...

Great job on the OT, Messi and co. I feel that the statement is pretty much the communities mission statement and why I love this thread even when I don't have a lot to throw in myself. <3 <3

Hope eveyone is doing well. I found out my mom was furloughed after getting off work myself today, so had to process that. She'll be okay, I'm thinking. She's reassuring me that she'll be fine, anyway. And my mom is low key a legend in my eyes, so I'm gonna trust her to pull out of this one gracefully. But this didn't need to happen and wouldn't have happened if the US had responded to the virus in a satsifactory manor. Ah well.

In short: vote or die.

Yeah, hope everyone's holding up well, stay safe and be there for your loved ones. Been rough for my family. My brother and his wife are out of work for the foreseeable future, my sisters' husbands are both out of work, and my stepdad works at a grocery store so every day has been chaos for him and he's especially at risk since he's up there in age. One of my great aunts and my uncle also just passed away this week, and we can't even hold funerals with what's happening right now. It's a mess. I'm fortunate in that I'm still employed and I can mostly work from home, but everything going on has really hit my mental health pretty hard. I can't really begin to process life right now.

Empyre State of Mynd #4: Anthony Oliveira talks tackling messy couple dynamics, Skrull physiology, and more

Fans get to ask Anthony Oliveira, co-writer of Lords of Empyre: Emperor Hulkling, their best questions.

I want a YA vol 3 so bad.
Fun interview. The paradise lost reference is interesting though, Billy hasn't read like a "dark" character from what I remember, he's more confused and insecure. But thinking back, yeah I can see that aspect of him. Maybe I should read more young avengers besides Gillen's run


I have beef with Anthony Oliveira because of his terrible takes, but I'm not gonna buy the Empyre tie-ins anyway. But also it's nice to see people pay tribute to Young Avengers volume 2.
Huh, what are some of those takes?

Wew, I thought it would a SGM-and-crew-tier take.
Yeah, I was expecting something political, but it's a Justice League movie take I barely even understand because it's trying so hard to sound academic instead of just communicating clearly. Straight-up don't know what "provenance" means, even though I can infer.
