Previews Picks February 2020




It's that time of month again when we look at the upcoming releases in the comic shop catalogue Previews. As usual these are my personal choices and much more budget limited these days as a pensioner sadly!

Previews is always worth picking up especially since no comic shop can stock everything and if you want something from a smaller publisher you will have to pre-order it in advance due to low print runs. Indeed as some comics don't receive enough orders they might not even get published.

JOKER 80TH ANNIV 100 PAGE SUPER SPECT #1


First up this month is DC with two cracking anniversary issues. It's The Jokers's 80th Birthday and there's a 100 page special to celebrate (plus the movie which I'll be waiting for on DVD). He's not alone either there's also another 80th Anniversary issue for Catwoman! Both these will be in my pile come this April!

 CATWOMAN 80TH ANNIV 100 PAGE SUPER SPECT #1

Other DC titles on my list include Strange Adventures #2 (Adam Strange mini-series). Legion of Super-Heroes #6, Superman #22, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth #3 (Black Label) and John Constantine: Hellblazer #6 and a DC Facsimile Edition: DC Superstars #17 with the first appearance of The Huntress. 

DC SUPER STARS #17 FACSIMILE EDITION

And finally to complete the story (I've not read the individual issues due to having missed some whilst in hospital) is Doomsday Clock Part 2  Hardcover which comes with a free slipcase to keep Part 1!

DOOMSDAY CLOCK HC PART 02 WITH SLIPCASE
Nothing new in Marvel that catches my attention and in any case they publish far too much with far too many tie ins these days.  However the latest issues Spider-Woman, the Fantastic Four and Conan the Barbarian remain on list.

Meanwhile IDW bring us some new Star Trek: Deep Space Nine with a four issue mini-series. 

STAR TREK DS9 TOO LONG A SACRIFICE #1 CVR A DRUMOND

Also out in April is Star Trek: Year Five #13  (of the original crew) and if you missed it the collected prequel story of Star Trek Picard: Countdown. Having collected the three issue mini series I recommend it. The TV show looks fantastic.

Dynamite has nothing new of interest to me but then with all the Red Sonja/Vampirella comics including team ups with Betty & Veronica and the Chaos characters I get enough of their stuff being a big fan of these two. Here's the ones I have on regular order:

KILLING RED SONJA #2 CVR A WARD RED SONJA #15 CVR A LEE

RED SONJA AGE OF CHAOS #4 CVR A PARRILLO RED SONJA VAMPIRELLA BETTY VERONICA #11 CVR A DALTON

VAMPIRELLA #10 CVR A PARRILLO VAMPIRELLA RED SONJA #8 CVR A LEE

VENGEANCE OF VAMPIRELLA #7 CVR A PARILLO

Told you I was a fan.....

Meanwhile as I wait for the first issue of Twin Worlds to arrive (seems a wee bit late) the fourth issue of theis Lord of the Rings meets Independence day type adventure has been solicited.

TWIN WORLDS #4

I'll probably order this but maybe just for the first issue from American Mythology Productions as it looks like a fun distraction:

BEWARE WITCH`S SHADOW SOUL TO KEEP CVR A CALZADA MAIN (MR)

Archie has a new Sabrina mini-series:

SABRINA SOMETHING WICKED #1 (OF 4) CVR A FISH

Also out from Archie (and on my list) are:

ARCHIE #713 (ARCHIE & KATY KEENE PT 4) CVR A BRAGA VAMPIRONICA NEW BLOOD #4 (OF 4) CVR A MOK

The next instalment of J Michael Straczynski's The Resistance mini series for newcomer AWA/Upshot is due out.

And finally from British publisher Titan comes the latest issue of Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor (Season Two).

DOCTOR WHO 13TH SEASON TWO #4 CVR A ANWAR

That's All Enough Folks....
