What's Out? Week of 17th of August

It's new comics day! I'm here to tell you what is available this week by looking at Diamond's shipping list (it's not just comics). I have comments, maybe some suggestions and a lot of questions!

BPRD HELL ON EARTH TP VOL 01 NEW WORLD

I've really lapsed in my BPRD and Hellboy reading. I loved Guy Davis on BPRD and I like what I have heard about about this Hellboy arc that just ended. The thing is, I have no idea where I left off and my comics are all over the place so don't even worry about it.

CONAN ROAD OF KINGS #7 (OF 7)
LITTLE LULU TP VOL 28 PRIZE WINNER AND OTHER STORIES
STAR WARS KNIGHT ERRANT DELUGE #1 (OF 5) QUINONES CVR

I'm not one of the Star Wars people of the blog and I know nothing about the Expanded Universe but as a Fruitless Pursuiter I figured I'd Google this. It's set 1000 years before the movies (A long, long time ago minus one thousand). Are people okay with that? I suppose you could still have lightsabers and Jedis and such. Has anybody seen how un-Star Wars they could make a Star Wars story? Like, set it in the present day on Earth and call it "The Zookeeper" but still have a Star Wars logo on the cover.


TOO MUCH COFFEE MAN OMNIBUS TP VOL 01 (RES)


DC COMICS
99 DAYS HC (RES) (MR)
BATMAN #713

This is one I will actually read though I don't have high hopes for it. It's the final Batman comic before the renumbering next month and I'm interested in how they're going to clean up what's been going on since Morrison started his run years ago as Batman is getting the big continuity reboot the other titles are getting. The final arc in Detective was amazing and tied into Year One but was essentially a Commissioner Gordon story guest starring the Dick Grayson Batman.
And I must mention that cover there. It's a good example of why things needed cleaning up storywise and why poeple don't dig Tony Daniel.


DC COMICS PRESENTS TEEN TITANS #1

"The original Teen Titans go on a secret space adventure at the behest of President Kennedy in this reprint of the LOST ANNUAL!" 
I have read this (it's a reprint) and it's the kind of thing where if you like the sound of that rundown then you will love it. Plus, Mike Allred on art.

DC RETROACTIVE BATMAN THE 90S #1
DC RETROACTIVE THE FLASH THE 90S #1
DC RETROACTIVE WONDER WOMAN THE 90S #1

I've been reading these (there were 70s and 80s ones too) and they're definitely more interesting than good. The deal is they have the a creative team that worked on those characters in that decade and set the story in that same decade. I started thinking how you could only do that with comics, right?

DC UNIVERSE ONLINE LEGENDS #14
DMZ #68 (MR)
FABLES #108 (MR)
FABLES DELUXE EDITION HC VOL 03 (MR)
FLASHPOINT ABIN SUR THE GREEN LANTERN #3 (OF 3)
FLASHPOINT LEGION OF DOOM #3 (OF 3)
FLASHPOINT SER 1 BATMAN AF
FLASHPOINT SER 1 CYBORG AF
FLASHPOINT SER 1 THE FLASH AF
FLASHPOINT SER 1 WONDER WOMAN AF
FLASHPOINT THE OUTSIDER #3 (OF 3)
FLASHPOINT WONDER WOMAN AND THE FURIES #3 (OF 3)

I hate to say it but I have been reading Flashpoint. ALL of it. At it's best times it's very Silver Age-y silly and goofy and at it's worst times it is just plain horrible storytelling. It's set in an alternate universe where Aquaman's Atlantis is at war with Wonder Woman's Amazons and every "twist" and plot point is either "Oh THAT character is actually THAT character!" or "Oh that character sure is different in THIS universe!".

FOGTOWN TP (MR)
GOTHAM CITY SIRENS HC VOL 03 STRANGE FRUIT
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #63
GREEN LANTERN EMERALD KNIGHTS DVD SINESTRO MAQUETTE
HELLBLAZER #282 (MR)
Numbers Related Fact: Next month the DC comic with the highest numbering will be Hellblazer.

TRANSMETROPOLITAN TP VOL 10 ONE MORE TIME NEW ED (MR)
TRUE BLOOD TRUE LOVE BILL AND SOOKIE STATUE (RES)
WE 3 DELUXE EDITION HC (MR)

Hey, did this originally come out before LOLcats were a thing? If you don't know about this, it's about three animals in weapon suits who talk in LOLspeak and it will make you bawl your eyes out.

ZATANNA #16


IDW PUBLISHING
COMPLETE LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE HC VOL 07


IMAGE COMICS
ALL NIGHTER #3 (OF 5)
BREED COL VOL 02 BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES TP (MR)

Does Breed still have fans? Did it ever? This list is full of things I have never heard anybody show an interest in. Look at that cover! Do you really need a knife when you are large and have such horns?

AVENGERS ACADEMY TP ARCADE DEATH GAME
CAPTAIN AMERICA #2
CAPTAIN AMERICA CORPS #3 (OF 5)
DAREDEVIL #2

I heard good things about the first issue and I got interested after hearing Mark Waid on War Rocket Ajax. The cover suggests that this is the issue where Daredevil steals Captain America's shield and Cap is so upset so he skip ropes his grumps away.

Maybe your workplace has a rule about not being allowed to rest your arms on the table during a meeting. That is where wearing these would come in handy because you'd be all "I can't let anybody see my cuffs today!".
