Welcome to my routine run-down of what comics may show up a bit over two months from now. Here’s what’s fascinating coming in February 2020, the year of eye exams.

MARVEL COMICS

Wolverine #1

The most significant news of the month is most likely that there’s a new Wolverine #1! Written by Benjamin Percy with art by Adam Kubert as well as Viktor Bogdanovic, this very first problem will be 72 pages. preview pages in marvel Previews show great deals of youngsters playing games with both Wolverine as well as Jean Grey, so your assumption is as great as mine as to what the problem is really about. (Apparently Omega Red shows up later…)

Of course, there are a lot of variant covers, however the primary cover is by Kubert. Variant cover artists include Alex Ross, Jim Lee, Adam Kubert w/Greg Hildebrandt, Rahzzah, R.B Silvia, Skottie Young, Jeehyung Lee, Chip Kidd, as well as many likely much more that we don’t understand about yet. (It seems like Adam Kubert is somehow included with a number of of them.) There are likewise a few Wolverine Facsimile Editions noted this month featuring different Wolverine #1 issues, so don’t miss those! plus there’s a Wolverine graphic Comic Box. This is the type of product that some comic shops as well as services may not be offering. Westfield will be bring these boxes. There is an extra shipping charge as they’re so bulky. as well as adamantium is heavy.

X-Men/Fantastic four #1

X-Men/Fantastic four #1 & 2 are the very first half of a four-issue miniseries spinning out of home of X as well as written by Chip Zdarsky as well as drawn by Terry Dodson. problem #1 features Krakoa — the island that walks like a guy (or something like that). #2 features physician Doom — who presumably clanks a great deal while he walks. It’s funny exactly how you never believe about stuff like that up until it really comes up. See you next month for #3 & #4. Man, Terry Dodson’s art is so awesome!

Falcon & winter season Soldier #1

Falcon & winter season Soldier #1 begins a five-issue miniseries written by Derek Landy (Black Order) with art by Federico Vicentini (Absolute Carnage: Miles Morales). two ex-Captain Americas team as much as discover the new leader of Hydra before a mass casualty event happens. Jeez, I bet these men have incredible chats in the bar after stuff like this.

Ant-Man #1

In Ant-Man #1 & 2 (of 5), Scott Lang as well as his child Stinger are back, however they’re living in an anthill! determined to discover a task (and raise his daughter’s viewpoint of him), Scott takes a task from regional beekeepers as well as instead discovers a worldwide conspiracy. since that’s what’s going on in our nation’s beehives while we’re continuously distracted by certainly fake hair! later (in problem #2), Scott has to deal with off against a new hold of villains. will he end up squished underneath their feet? Ewww… Is this really going to make it to five issues? I bet only writer Zeb Wells as well as artist Dylan Burnett know, as well as they decline to tell cover artist Eduard Petrovich!

Gwen Stacy #1

Gwen Stacy #1 (of 5): set in the early days of the marvel world (when Gwen as well as Peter Parker were still in high school, as well as Gwen’s father – the authorities captain – was still alive), this series provides the never-told “origin” of Gwen Stacy. Back in those days, Gwen had a “science brain”, a nose for trouble, as well as a no-quit mindset that always got her in over her head. In the early marvel Universe, that’s a recipe for disaster! Written by Christos Gage, art by Todd Nauck, as well as a cover by Adam Hughes. alternating covers are by Todd Nauck, Jeehyung Lee, Jieyuan, J. Scott Campbell, as well as the ever-popular TBA.

Fantastic Four: Grimm Noir

Fantastic Four: Grimm Noir: What is Dr. Strange’s nemesis D’Spayre doing on Yancy Street? Ben Grimm throws on his hat as well as overcoat to resolve the secret in this one-shot. Written by Gerry Duggan with ultra-moody art by Ron Garney.

Ditko Is… Strange! King-Size Hardcover

If you’ve ever wished to see Steve Ditko’s Dr. unusual artwork at a big size (like, say… 13 5/8” x 21 1/4 “), well, Ditko Is… Strange! King-Size Hardcover is your chance! This King-Size edition provides Steve Ditko as well as Stan Lee’s total Dr. unusual (Strange Tales #110-111 as well as #114-146) stories at a huge size. (I’ve already made an visit to have my eyeballs expanded!) I’m not a physician (although I play one on TV when Roger is not looking), however if I were, I’d suggest making an visit soon, since eventually, this book will most likely kill you — particularly if you firmly insist on reading it in bed. By the huge Pulpery of Printika!!! (says Dr. Strange).

DC COMICS

Pennyworth R.I.P.

Pennyworth R.I.P.: The huge news at DC this month (well, really nextFebruary, when the comic really ships) is that the Wayne Family’s long-time butler (although all of us understand that he was so much much more than that!) has died at the hands of REDACTED. This special 48-page one-shot celebrates the life of one of the most essential people in the history of Gotham City (not to mention the world of comic books)! It’s written by James Tynion IV as well as Peter J. Tomasi, with art by Eddy Barrows, Eber Ferreia, as well as others, with a cover by Lee Weeks.

DC Crimes of Passion

Also in February (available just before Valentine’s Day) is DC Crimes of enthusiasm — an 80-page prestige style one-shot including ten tales of love… the type of like that can push people over the edge! (Well, that discusses why Batman, Nightwing, as well as Catwoman are on the cover…) Here’s just a few of the people that are contributing: James Tynion IV, Steve Orlando, Greg Smallwood, Riley Rossmo, as well as much more under a new cover by Yasmine Putri. slam Bradley is narrating the solicitation copy for this, so don’t be amazed if he’s inside the book as well.

The eco-friendly Lantern: season two #1

The eco-friendly Lantern: season two by grant Morrison as well as Liam Sharp returns in a special 40-page comic. It cleans up the mess from the previous “season” in addition to introduces Hal Jordan’s next mission. Is the world prepared for… The young Guardians?

Flash #750

GL’s regular partner, The Flash, celebrates 750 problems in February in a special 80-Page Prestige style special featuring lots of creators including Joshua Williamson, Geoff Johns, Marv Wolfman, Francis Manapul, Rafa Sandoval, Jordi Tarragona, Scott Kolins, Bryan Hitch, as well as numerous more. “The Flash Age” storyline begun in The Flash #50 concerns a head here, when he’s required to face new risks — Paradox as well as his herald Godspeed. There are likewise numerous tales from across the generations of super-speedsters. Plus, eight variant covers spotlight different eras of The Flash’s occupation by artists including Nicola Scott, Gary Frank, Nick Derington, José Luis García-López, Gabriele Dell’Otto, Francesco Mattina, Jim Lee & Scott Williams, as well as Francis Manapul.

Amethyst #1

Amethyst #1 (of 6): I always liked the idea of amethyst (Princess of Gemworld), however I recognize that it may not be for everybody’s taste. visitors ought to inspect out the interview with new amethyst writer as well as artist Amy Reeder (Madame Xanadu, Moon woman as well as Devil Dinosaur) in the present DC Previews for hints about what tricks (including two new teen friends!) the new series will expose about Gemworld as well as Amethyst.

Harley Quinn & The Birds of Prey #1

Creators Amanda Conner as well as Jimmy Palmiotti return to Harley Quinn & The Birds of Prey — in a new no-ads, four-issue miniseries from DC’s Black label imprint. Again, there’s a prolonged interview with Amanda as well as Jimmy in the new DC Previews. inspect it out!

In conclusion, the 12-issue inferior five series has been cancelled with problem #6. Wow, exactly how inferior can you get?

ARCHIE COMICS

Archie satisfies the B-52s

Archie satisfies the B-52s! They’re all living in their own personal Idaho! That’s right, the B-52s have hit Riverdale, as well as Archie is scrambling to get the broken-up Archies back together, so they can jam! I discover it a bit strange that guitarist Ricky Wilson is depicted as still being in the band, in spite of the truth that he died in 1985. I assumption things in Riverdale truly are timeless! This 32-page one-shot is by writers Alex Segura as well as Matthew Rosenberg (Archie satisfies the Ramones – which featured much more dead people…) as well as artist Dan Parent. There are five covers to select from (or collect!) by Michael as well as Laura Allred, Tyler Boss, Joe Eisma, Francesco Francavilla, as well as Dan Parent. So don’t fail to remember to Roam down to the like Shack (er… your regional comic shop or membership service) as well as inspect it out in February 2000! . . . Archie Comics has much more musical happenings that month with Archie 1955 #5 (the last issue) as Archie obviously invents rock as well as roll. I question what Chuck Berry (or Dick Clark) may believe of that.

KC CARLSON SEZ: has November felt like the loooongest month ever? Can’t wait on December to get as much as cruising speed so Santa as well as his flying buddies can get out as well as spread some holiday Cheer!

WESTFIELD COMICS is not accountable for the dumb things that KC says. particularly that thing that truly irritated you. Uh, oh… it appears like the reindeer have already gotten into the holiday Cheer, as well as they are belligerently refusing to fly this winter season up until somebody talks to their Union Rep.

KC: The deer have a Union Rep?

KC: Wait. The deer can fly? Where have I been?
