The final days before the holidays, but there's a ton of great comics being released on Wednesday! We're most excited about Rockstar Dav Pilkey's newest: CAT KID COMICS CLUB, and for a weekly new release, we're down with THE PICTURE OF EVERYTHING, ooh, or the remix of SHAM COMICS 80 PAGE GIANT. But that's just a fraction of this week's releases, all of which you can find below the cut, what looks good to YOU?

Smaller week than usual for debuts, but there's always gems. The lead book is likely SWORD by Al Ewing, and everyone loves a good BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE, finally HOME SICK PILOTS from Image is worth a shot. And on the book side, give Noah Van Sciver some love for PLEASE DONT STEP ON MY JNCO JEANS. So! Much! More! shipping this week, below the cut, so what looks good to YOU?

We come into the last month of 2020 with a smaller week, but packed with some anticipated books -- Marvel's next big crossover with KING IN BLACK, the end of Tom King's run with BATMAN / CATWOMAN #1, a entirely different end in LUMBERJANES END OF DAYS, and the most intriguing indy launch looks like KNOCK EM DEAD. Plus, if you don't already have it, your collection is incomplete without Peter Bagge's COMPLETE HATE HC. Lotsa stuff under the cut; what looks good to YOU?

So much good stuff! What looks good to you?

Tilting at Windmills #282

Its been a very long time since I’ve written a TILTING AT WINDMILLS, and you probably only care if you care about the hows and whys of how the comics market functions — but if you’re a process junkie like me, this will be a sold read for you. https://www.comicsbeat.com/tilting-at-windmills-282-the-end-days-of-dc-comics/

After a couple of big huge weeks, things get a little quieter this time out, but there's still many books you might like. We think the lead book might be PLANET PARADISE, but there's a lot of love for Adam Hughes drawing HELLBOY THE SEVEN WIVES CLUB. We're also going to look hard at the second issue of CARTOON DIALECTICS and MAYBE SOMEDAY STORIES OF PROMISE VISIONS OF HOPE. Much more under the cut! What looks good to YOU?

Wowsers, huge number of things shipping this week -- it's time to go into the comic book shop if you've been putting it off for a week or two! Our new launch standouts are DUNE #1 and SCUMBAG #1, and the intriguing looking GOITER #5 (I don't see ever being offered #1-4 before). And, oh! Lisa Hanawalt has a new book in I WANT YOU. That's just the barest tip of the iceberg -- full list below the cut! What looks good to YOU?

Hoooo-ee, I’m going broke with all this good content. Vault’s HEAVY looks pretty compelling, and Dark Horse is only a little late with YOU LOOK LIKE DEATH (but we’re so excited for more Klaus we don’t even care!). Image’s STILLWATER has garnered itself a fair bit of interest as a new horror series and there are too many graphic novels for me to pick out just a few (but also I’d be remiss if I didn’t say I’ve been waiting for the TOM OF FINLAND book for what feels like years…). What looks good to YOU?

We’ve got double Keanus this week with BILL & TED ARE DOOMED and CYBERPUNK 2077 TRAUMA TEAM! As the resident cowboy enthusiast, I’m really looking forward to checking out BLACK HEROES OF WILD WEST, and SEANCE TEA PARTY looks almost painfully cute. EMPYRE is finally coming to a close with AFTERMATH AVENGERS and FALLOUT FANTASTIC FOUR. And there’s so much more under the cut—what looks good to YOU?

*Please note that DC will not be arriving until Thursday.

Raise your hand if time has lost all meaning and you have no idea what month it is because you could have sworn some of this stuff was in Previews eight months ago…oh, right, that’s because of the pandemic! I forgot that was happening because my roommates keep bringing new people into the house. Well, anyway, for this super busy week I’m super excited for Aftershock’s LONELY RECEIVER (a woman slowly going crazy after her android girlfriend stops working), Boom’s WE ONLY FIND THEM WHEN THEY’RE DEAD (giant alien gods being used for fuel), Image’s INKBLOT (featuring a trouble-making cat), and the Nib’s new anthology, BE GAY DO COMICS (can’t tell what that one’s about). What looks good to YOU?

You would not believe how many boxes we’re getting from Diamond this week. Seriously, drop by on Tuesday and watch us weep. Anyway, we’re looking forward to the new series Locke and Key: In Pale Battalions Go, the return of Canto with its second season, and ahhhhhhh, a new Junji Ito collection! And Fantagraphics is, as usual, dropping a book we suspect will be sold out within hours of Wednesday morning: Julia Gfrörer's Vision, following a “spinster escaping the demands of life through a sexual relationship with a haunted mirror.” Sigh. Aren’t we all?
