It is the best day of the week.
That's right. It's new comic book day.
What is up?
I am the GI Joel.
And I love comic books so much.
I left a full time job to pursue my dream
of opening my own comic book shop.
And today is Wednesday,
which means it is
time for the all new releases
from all of the major publishers
this week.
Let's go ahead and get right into it.
Starting off
with Batman
Superman World's Finest issue number one.
This is an example of good ol'
fashioned classic superhero fun,
but one with a lot of heart.
Basically, Mark Waid
doing what he does best.
Superman has been injected
with a cocktail of red
kryptonite by Metallo,
sending him into a series
of uncontrollable,
extremely painful mutations
Thankfully, Batman was in Metropolis
pursuing Poison Ivy
and was able to help subdue Superman
with assistance from the Doom Patrol.
So we're getting a lot of crossovers
in this series.
It seems like
we're going to be getting Batman.
we are we getting Superman,
we're going to be getting the Doom
Patrol,
which is an excellent, excellent mix
of some really great characters.
I personally
am super excited
to see what else this series has
to offer in future issues.
I highly recommend
that if you're a fan of Batman,
Superman, The Doom Patrol,
or just really great superhero stories
that you check out this series.
Next up, Carnage No. One.
Carnage is back, well kind of.
Cleetus and Carnage have been separated
after the events of King and Black
and this has changed
the Carnage symbiote.
He is no longer
held back by the lives, desires
and pain of a human host.
And he is searching for more
but what is more to a symbiote
like Carnage?
All of this
set against a murder mystery manhunt.
The story feels like a mix of Saw,
Silence of the Lambs
and classic body horror.
Ram V is a master horror writer
and he is bringing
all of that expertize to this
all new Carnage title.
There was also a great back up story,
kind of a small adventure
in the life of Carnage
when he was still attached to symbiote
that I also really enjoyed.
If you're a fan of Carnage, all things
symbiote or just great horror stories,
I definitely recommend
you check this issue out.
Next up, we have Batman
the Knight issue number three.
We are three issues into Chip Zdarksy's
retelling of Batman's origin story.
And honestly,
at first I was skeptical of yet
another Batman Bruce Wayne origin story.
But this series has really blown me away.
Bruce is moving from teacher
to teacher,
learning the skills
to accomplishes mission against crime.
Overall,
this series has been a great exploration
into Bruce
Wayne as a character,
and I am very much
looking forward to each issue.
This one in particular was a lot of fun
with some great action
classic hunting down serial killers,
fighting crime,
just doing what Batman and Bruce Wayne
do best. Nightwing Issue number 90.
Every issue of Tom Taylor's
Nightwing has been an absolute knockout,
and this issue is no exception.
Dick Grayson is still being targeted
by Blockbuster
in the Crime Lords of Bludaven.
Blockbuster has pulled out
all of the stops
in his quest to kill Grayson.
Thankfully, Dick has a lot of friends,
the Bat family, his half sister.
And of course, Wally West.
This issue
does a great job of highlighting
the friendship of Wally and Dick
and is another stellar installment
in this ongoing series.
If you haven't been reading Nightwing,
I really recommend you check it out.
And this issue is actually
a good jumping on point.
Eternals The Heretic Issue number one,
this is the tie into the ongoing
main run of Eternals
and also seems to be
a big part of the set up
to the upcoming Judgment Day. Event.
Thanos meets the original.
In many ways, Uranos, his great uncle.
We get a great backstory of Uranos
and why he is locked away
in the exclusion
it has been for over 600,000 years.
This also,
like I said,
seems to be a really important
set up for the upcoming Judgment Day
event this summer,
as it seems to be
setting up motivations
for the Eternals to attack the mutants.
Overall, this was a great tie-In
and a great little one shot.
If you're reading the main Eternals run,
I definitely recommend checking it out
if you're planning on
reading the Judgment Day event.
It's also worth reading for that as well.
And as always,
you can shop all of this week's
hottest new titles at GTXcomics.com.

Well,
those are just some of the amazing titles
that came out this week
for Marvel and DC.
There are, of course, indie titles
and a lot of great comic books.
Like I said,
it is the best day of the week.
