News, events, and information about Comix Experience and the Graphic Novel of the Month Clubs.
This week is a special week because we've finally got what is likely the Book of the Year: Barry Windsor-Smith's MONSTERS (watch our interview with Mr. Windsor-Smith on Sunday 4/18 at 10 am PST here: https://youtu.be/yY6HwW1bQYE). Also looking pretty great is LOCKE & KEY SANDMAN HELL & GONE #1 and HOME #1. So much other great stuff too, under the cut -- what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreThe first week of comics of our 33rd year in business is a nice week of comic-y goodness! The lead book is probably GEIGER from Geoff Johns & Gary Frank, but lots of folks are excited about Boom!'s MAGIC THE GATHERING comic, and who doesn't want a return to Evan Dorkin & Sarah Dyer's BEASTS OF BURDEN? Plus, finally back in print for the first time since 1986 (but without Alan Moore's name on it, for some reason?) is the amazing comics deconstruction masterpiece IN PICTOPIA. Sooooo much more below the jump... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreJune 2021’s books and comics get spotlighted with issue #301 of Comix Experience ONOMATOPOEIA available for download as a large PDF. You can find it by clicking this link. We’ve beaten Dave Sim’s arbitrary numbering record!
Another Wednesday of cool comics, yay! The standouts to us look like WITCHBLOOD, SHADECRAFT, and the fourteen years in the making end of KORGI, but there's a lot of great stuff below the cut -- what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreThere's a ton of things arriving this week, but few brand new issue #1 periodicals. But that makes it super easy to name DELICATES by Brenna Thummler our pick of the week, her follow up to the incredible SHEETS. Or maybe you want to read Gene Luen Yang who starts his run on BATMAN SUPERMAN with a super classic take on the characters. Or you want something artsy? RED ROCK BABY CANDY by Shira Spector is the clear choice. So so so much more below the cut.... what looks good to YOU??
Read MoreEven small weeks of comics have gems -- by far the thing we're most excited by is James Stokoe's ORPHAN & FIVE BEASTS, with a close second to James Herren's ULTRAMEGA. That not enough? How about Mirka Andolfo's EROS/PSYCHE? Very much more under the cut, but tell us what looks good to YOU??
Read MoreDiverse new week of books! The lead story would look to be a new Grant Morrison joint with PROCTOR VALLEY ROAD, but Guillem March's KARMEN looks neat, and we're adoring the Global Citizen GN line which has a new release with WHAT UNITES US from Dan Rather and company, and, ooh! Mariko Tamaki and Gurihiru doing THOR / LOKI DOUBLE TROUBLE? Yes, please! So so so much more below the cut... what looks good to YOU?

May 2021’s books and comics get spotlighted with issue #300 of Comix Experience ONOMATOPOEIA available for download as a large PDF. You can find it by clicking this link. The Future is so bright!
A small but mighty week -- Kindt, Keanu and Garney launch BRZRKR, while Snyder and Daniels launch NOCTERRA, but the real gem might be MIKE MIGNOLA QUARANTINE SKETCHBOOK HC, filled with so much crazy nice art he generated in lockdown, plus all the profit goes to charity! There's even more shipping this week, go look under the cut... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreDue to the Winter storms impacting national shipping logistics we're genuinely not sure when this week's comics will actually arrive -- as of Monday AM at 10:30 PST, our weekly shipment hasn't even been picked up yet, which would usually signify a Thursday-at-the-earliest New Comics Day (NCD), but there's not a lot of hard evidence of what this week will bring for sure! It is possible that we might even recieve nothing this week and a double shipment next week -- your guess is as good as ours! Your local comic store (including us!) still has bills and staff to pay, so maybe figure out a way to give them your patronage even when we don't have the NCD shipment.
This week our #1 recommendation is the "Master Edition" of FROM HELL, now in full color. Absolutely anyone loving comics should have this in thier library. For new periodical comics, take a look at CHASING THE DRAGON, STRAY DOGS, and MARVEL VOICES: LEGACY. But there is SO much else hidden down behind the cut! So what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreComics! Wednesday! Ah, we love it! Stand-out new releases in a full week of comics are YOUNG HELLBOY, HOLLOWHEART, and SHADOW DOCTOR. We're also excited for the first collection of STRANGE ACADEMY, which is also our Kid's Club Graphic Novel of the Month selection! There is much more under the cut, but what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreWow, there's a shedload of comics coming today! We like the look of BLACK HAMMER VISIONS and RADIANT BLACK, while the go-to graphic novel this week is FAULT LINES IN THE CONSTITUTION. So so so much more under the cut… what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreThis looks like a fun week! Stand-out new releases seem like LUNA from Maria Llovet, HYPNOTWIST from Gilbert Hernandez, and, mm, maybe CHAINED TO THE GRAVE by Brian Level, Andrew Eschenbach and Kate Sherron? Much much more behind the cut…. What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreApril 2021 shipping products get their focus with issue #299 of Comix Experience ONOMATOPOEIA available for download as a large PDF. You can find it by clicking this link. Fancy technology!
Its a rare week that we don't have a single viable new first issue from DC, Marvel or Image, so let's turn to returning series! Ooooh, MONSTRESS #31 starts a new arc of an amazing comic, while the amazing Judd Winick starts his third arc of HILO. Or maybe you want to go smaller press, where Frank Gogol's new arc of DEAD END KIDS starts. Or, if you're old like Brian, you're digging on OTHER HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE #2, where John Ridley somehow ties TITANS comics from the 70s to Arthur Ashe and the Atlanta Child Murders to CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #7. It's kind of a Tour De Force. Much more under the cut — what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreInterestingly shaped week for launches! The big standout is probably RAIN LIKE HAMMERS but we're also eagerly awaiting the return of ABBOTT 1973! Or maybe you're going to lean towards CRIMSON FLOWER or to I BREATHED A BODY.... and we've barely scratched the surface for the week! COMICS ARE JOY! What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreIt may be a smaller week of new comics, but there's plenty to love this Wednesday -- how about the Evil Clown Anthology HAHA? Or Terry Moore's newest sweetie with SERIAL? Or Daerick Robertson doing SPACE BASTARDS? And if that looks too dark, what about the new graphic novel OH MY GODS? Take a look below the jump at this week’s list and tell us what looks good to YOU!
Read MoreWelcome to 2021, so glad we made it! Several new series this week, including all of the "Future State" books from DC, WONDER WOMAN looks like the winner. Also worth a look is SCOUTS HONOR, ETERNALS and LAST WITCH. Lots of cool comics behind that jump, what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreHere is our annual sales report for Comix Experience for 2020. Charts! Opinions! Perspectives! Read below the cut and let us know your thoughts!
Read MoreAs of this writing, we still don’t have this week’s comics (holiday week, that’s typical), so let’s see when they’re actually for sale! It’s a pretty small week anyway. But check below the cut and tell us what looks good to YOU?
