Amazing Spider-Man #25

Amazing Spider-Man is hitting twenty-five issues with a bang in the oversized blowout issue from Marvel Comics. Writer Dan Slott is joined by artist Stuart Immonen for Amazing Spider-Man #25 (JAN170988) along with Dan and Giuseppe Camuncoli, Hannah Blumenreich, Cale Atkinson, and a top-secret bonus creative team! This special is stuffed full of story, with the 40-page main story taking center stage and plenty of back-up stories that Spider-Man fans are sure to love. 

Green Lanterns #19 

Writer Sam Humphries is taking Simon and Jessica on a grand space adventure as “The Green Impurity” begins in Green Lanterns #19 (JAN170271). Simon is tasked with finding a Guardian of the Universe to train Jessica, but as the rogue Guardian Rami begins his lessons a new threat emerges. As Volthoom’s obsession with controlling Jessica grows, it’s up to Simon and Jessica to stop him – but are they powerful enough to take on this threat?

I Hate Fairyland #11

Gertrude is back as creator Skottie Young starts the next story arc of I Hate Fairyland with “Con Girl”. The hit Image Comics series continues in I Hate Fairyland #11 (JAN170693) as Gert and Larry decide to take a break from the non-stop violence with a stop at Fairyland’s annual Dungeon Con. When Gert and Larry arrive however, the convention turns out to be a catastrophe when Gert finds out everyone’s after her! The decidedly not safe for work series continues with this funny bone-tickling and violently-dismembering adventure!

Neil Gaiman's American Gods: Shadow #1

Neil Gaiman’s bestselling and award-winning novel American Gods is coming to comic stores thanks to an all-new adaptation from Dark Horse Comics. Just in time for the new American Gods television series from Starz, Neil Gaiman’s American Gods: Shadow #1 (JAN170096) takes readers through the tribulations of Shadow Moon as he gets out of jail and meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday. With art by P. Craig Russell, this novel springs to life as Shadow Moon is thrust into the deadly world of the supernatural.

Vampirella #1

Vampirella is back with an all new Dynamite Entertainment series from Paul Cornell and Jimmy Broxton and she is out for blood! In Vampirella #1 (JAN171615), we find the titular Vampi has been asleep for over a thousand years and is now back in the land of the living – albeit one much different then she remembers. As Vampirella explores this strange new world where the blood has a far different taste, she must find new allies and explore the potential of this new era.
