Sebastian’s Top 5
Ms.Marvel #7 – By G. Willow Wilson and artwork by Jake Wyatt
IT’S WOLVERINE!
• Kamala may be fan-girling out when her favorite (okay maybe Top Five) super hero shows up for some help, but that won’t stop her from protecting her hometown.
• Who is the Inventor, and what does he want with Kamala and all her friends? Maybe Wolvie can be of some help.
• “If you’re not reading Ms. Marvel, you’re missing out on one of the best series out there.” –Says Almost Everybody
Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #1 – By Gail Simone, Amanda Deibert and artwork by Ethan Van Sciver, Marcelo Di Chiara, Cat Staggs
Diana Prince: Amazon warrior, ambassador to Man’s world, or champion of women in need? All of the above! This digital-first anthology series will bring some of comics’ greatest talents to Themyscira, and give them leave to explore Diana, her world – and ours!
Gail Simone and Ethan Van Sciver kick things off when Oracle calls for help after the entire Bat-Family gets sidelined. But when Wonder Woman steps into the breach, Gotham City’s criminals get the surprise of their lives! Then, Amanda Deibert and Cat Staggs take Diana to school, where she meets her biggest fan!
The Fade Out #1 By Ed Brubaker and artwork by Sean Phillips, Elizabeth Breitweiser
The first project from their groundbreaking five-year deal at Image will have ED BRUBAKER and SEAN PHILLIPS fans, old and new, at the edge of their seats, as they weave an epic crime story unlike anything they’ve done before.
Hollywood – 1948. A noir film stuck in endless reshoots. A writer plagued with nightmares from the war and a dangerous secret. An up-and-coming starlet’s suspicious death. And a maniacal Studio Mogul and his Security Chief who will do anything to keep the cameras rolling before the Post-War boom days come crashing down. THE FADE OUT is the most ambitious series yet from the award-winning Noir Masters.
Bonus: This 40-PAGE FIRST ISSUE features more story pages, as well as exclusive back pages articles that are only in these single issues!
The Multiversity #1 – By Grant Morrison and artwork by Ivan Reis, Joe Prado
The biggest adventure in DC’s history is here!
In issue #1, pencilled by superstar artist Ivan Reis (AQUAMAN, JUSTICE LEAGUE), President Superman of Earth-23 uncovers a threat to all Reality so apocalyptic it will take a team of incredible heroes from across the Multiverse to face it – including Captain Carrot, like you’ve never seen him before!
But even with a multitude of alternate worlds to choose from, where every variation is possible, can anyone hope to prevail against the onslaught of ultimate evil and undying hatred – in the unstoppable form of a one-time cosmic defender with unimaginable powers?! Join us, if you dare, for the beginning of THE MULTIVERSITY!
The Wicked + The Divine #3 – By Kieron Gillen and artwork by Jamie McKelvie
Laura has no choice. She has to go underground to find the goth-goth-gothity-goth of the Morrigan. Is this the most illadvised underworld-related decision since Orpheus decided to see how Eurydice was doing in the back seat? To find out, read the comic that people are literally calling “The one by GILLEN/MCKELVIE/WILSON with the very long title.”

Judge Dredd #22 – By Duane Swierczynski and artwork by Stephen B. Scott
“Black Light District, part 1”—The area formerly known as Sector One has been sealed off from the rest of Mega-City One—locking the Dark Judges in, but also keeping most of the Justice Department out! The only man who can cross the border is Judge Dredd, so it’s up to him to single-handedly rescue the Chief Justice and the Council of Five, who are trapped inside and fighting for their survival. Meanwhile, there’s a new Acting Chief Justice, and he’s got a whole lot of “reform” in mind…
You’ve never seen Mega-City One like this before. Step inside before it’s too late…
