Captain Midnight #0: From the age of the radio drama, by way of golden age comics, this one-shot collects a story originally published in Dark Horse Presents. Action and adventure with a WWII fighter pilot, this is the real deal.

U-DISTRICT

Sean’s Picks!

100 Bullets Brother Lono #1: It’s a little disappointing when a publisher becomes narrow sighted and chooses to revisit the same well over and over again rather than give a creator license to pursue something original. But let’s be honest…DC/Vertigo could have done a lot worse by not selecting 100 Bullets as a title to continue. Same creative team, same pulpy good crime.

Wild Blue Yonder #1: Diesel-punk skypirates, Zeppelin warships, and Tailspin homages. What Rocketeer could possibly resist!

Carl’s Picks!

Star Wars #6: You’re either reading this, or you probably don’t like Star Wars. This series feels like watching the original trilogy. In this issue, Han has to improvise a plan. Should work, right?

Victories TP 01: Michael Oeming is writing a story about drugs, psychics, and trauma. The first few issues are hard to come by, so this is definitely worth a look.

Daredevil Dark Nights #1: Artist Lee Weeks is returning for this 8-issue arc featuring Daredevil in a blizzard. Our hero attempts to save a young life left out in the cold!

East of West #3: Moving quickly toward the apocalypse, Death is in control. I’m really looking forward to this one.

U-DISTRICT

Sean’s Picks!

Wake #1: 1989 saw a host of undersea horror adventure flicks like Leviathan, Deepstar Six, and of course The Abyss. Could WAKE be the next instigator in a knock-off rash of similar themed comics? I can only hope.

U-DISTRICT

Sean’s Picks!

Bounce #1: What lies behind the cool black shades of Joe Casey? Probably biting superhero commentary wrapped up and packaged as Spiderman’s anti-hero cousin, Bounce!

Nowhere Men #5: Normally when a comic is closing in on it’s sixth issue and doesn’t have a established narrative this would be considered a problem. Not in the case of Nowhere Men! Is it a sci-fi comic or superhero comic? All I know is this is the most exciting comic on the shelves right now!

Carl’s Picks!

Dia de los Muertos #3: Call me old fashioned, but I like when comics are big, beautiful, and printed on matte paper-stock. I’m going to miss Dia de los Muertos.

Occupy Comics #1: Alan Moore leads a who’s-who of the discontent. Personal fave Ron Wimberly makes a rare appearance too. Count me in.

Solid State Tank Girl #1: How does an institution this old still manage to seem so young and fresh?

Dream Thief #1: Can you imagine waking up every morning to find that you committed crimes during the night and now you were left to dispose of the evidence? The cops really aren’t going to believe “ghosts made me do it.”

Jared’s Picks!

Battlestar Galactica #1: Alternate reality in classic continuity. I’m hoping for campy charm.

Marceline and the Scream Queens TP: Meredith Gran has created the most fun vampire-based comic I’ve ever read. This miniseries is a blast, and the art is amazing.

U-DISTRICT

Sean’s Picks!

Conan the Barbarian #16: “Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life? The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair. Wrong! Conan! What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. That is good! That is good.” And if that doesn’t sum up the worthiness of Brian Wood’s Conan then I don’t know what does.

Legend of Luther Strode #5: Only the herculean behemoth Luther Strode can overcome the malevolent mechanization of a cabal of dirty cops, mercs and even the one they call JACK! Fun ultra-violence with no amount of pretension everything the 90lb weakling needs.

Carl’s Picks!

The Dream Merchant #1: There’s a special place in heaven for pretty comics with ‘number one’ on their covers. Let’s take a chance, shall we?

Fatale #14: Eisner nominated, so you know it’s legit.

From Hell Companion SC: Not many comics are dense enough to merit a separate companion edition, but From Hell is certainly a good candidate. Also: There will be Eddie Campbell.

University District Comic Stop

U-DISTRICT

Batman #20: Batman has always had the most recognizable cadre of sinister super-villains. But with every host of villainy some baddies just never get their day in the sun. Over looked and under appreciated Clayface is finally getting the treatment he deserves.

Chin Music #1: Steve Niles puts his horror spin on prohibition-era gangsters, while Tony Harris churns out page after page of exquisite art. A must read for anyone who’s enjoyed The Damned or Fatale.

Carl’s Picks!

I Love Trouble #5: I’m a sucker for anything printed on matte paper stock, and I’m really digging I Love Trouble’s youthful artistic sensibility.

Mylo Xyloto #4: If you told me that the company responsible for Simpsons comics had put together a comic book based on a concept album by Coldplay, I would tell you to shut your lying mouth. And if you told me that the comic had lasted four issues and wasn’t half bad, I’d try to have you indicted for perjury. This title remains a curious oddity: The ridiculous source material is strangely appropriate for an ongoing comic book, and the art is straight out of Doug Tennapel b-sides. Depending on your tastes, this may be an adaptation that exceeds the source material’s quality.

ALSO ARRIVING AT CS4: The new MICHAEL GOLDEN Artist’s Portfolio, Volume 3 of Bendis’ ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN, and the full line of POP! IRON MAN 3 figures!

Here’s what’s happening at our four locations:

At CS4 U-District we’ve got Duffy Boudreau (“Blackacre”) and Matt Southworth (“Stumptown”) signing from 11am to 1pm, and Fionna from Adventure Time will be there all day long!

The best part of the festivities at all locations?

Helheim #2: Frankenstein meets vikings, in all the best ways. The dead rise and axes and swords put them right back down!

Justice League Dark #19: The Hunter saga is over and the dark Justice League have returned to their main universe, but who will remain on the team and what magcial danger awaits them? I’m excited to find out.

U-DISTRICT

Sean’s Picks!

East of West #2: Wow that first issue did not disappoint! Hickman’s alternate American history breeds a bizarre bleak future where the four horsemen of the apocalypse have risen! So much of this comic harkens back to the independent 80′s with terrific melding of sci-fi and fantasy elements.

Jupiter’s Legacy #1: Ever since Millar became a less a creative and more a commodity its been hard to pick up any one of his titles. Jupiter’s Legacy however has the potential of being the exception. Maybe it’s the quizzically lumpy Quitely art or the Morrisonesque title? Who knows! The only way to find out is to read it this Wednesday. Another breakout Image independent!

Carl’s Picks!

Amalas Blade #1: I think I saw this one in DHP a while back, and I feel like taking a chance with the #1.

Mark Ryden Gay 90’s HC: Haters are going to hate. Mark Ryden’s going to paint. Dicaprio’s going to buy the paintings, and I’m going to look at this coffee table book of the paintings.

Meathaus #8 Headgames: The work in this book is likely to seem a little crude by their current standards, but it’s important to remember that comic book big names like Brandon Graham, James Jean, Becky Cloonan, and Dash Shaw were all just art students in the Big Apple throwing together jams and zines once upon a time. Think of this as the comic equivalent of seeing Hollywood’s yearbook photos.

Uncanny X-Men #5: Bachalo is one of my favorite pencillers working for Marvel these day – both he and Immonen agree with my sensibility of what amounts to good drawing in a superhero book: The figures are decent, the faces are expressive thanks to some good, old-fashion cartooning, and the page layouts are exciting and (usually) easy to read. Bachalo is a pretty decent colorist too, and I like how his color schemes keep my eyes from getting bored during the slower moments.

Sabrina’s Picks!

Injustice: Gods Among Us #4: OK, I admit it. I played the game. I know, I feel shame for me too. And I even have more shame because I actually like this series! I mean, Superman is being a jerk and it’s kinda entertaining to watch.

Knights of Sidonia GN Vol #2: Tsutomu Nihei (HALO: The Graphic Novel) brings his amazing style to the this highly anticipated series. A space colony, giants, giant robots, incredible fight scenes and a few sprinkles of humor are what you’ll find in this solid title from Vertical. Don’t miss you chance to get in on this series!

My Little Pony Micro Series # 3: Hi, my name is Sabrina. I’m an adult woman and I like multi-colored little ponies. And while I like ponies (and Twilight is the best), I have to say that Rarity is up there. Missing this would be “the! Worst! Possible! Thing!”

ALSO ARRIVING AT CS4: The new JOE HILL HC Treasury edition is out this week, X-MEN welcomes “Longshot” back into print, and don’t miss out on the POP WALKING DEAD Michonne & Pet Zombies sets!
