New Comics On Sale Now (Comic Shops and Newsagents) – No Hit or Mything! (w/c 11th Aril 2016)

2000AD Prog 1976

It’s a busy week here in the downthetubes dungeon, so apologies for a shorter than usual round up of new comics! I’m busy plugging away at behind the scenes work to promote both the upcoming Lakes International Comic Art Festival, revamping the web site, and Lancaster Comics Day, heading your way in June – among other things. There may even be some Dan Dare Audio Adventures news next week, too…

Anyway – our list of new comics below, both in newsagents and comic shops. 2000AD has a major shock in store for Judge Dredd fans if you haven’t already bought this week’s Prog – and the shocks keep on coming in 2000AD Prog 1977, on sale next week, which we gave you a sneak peek of recently.

While it’s not a “jump on” issue – the 2000AD team did one of those recently with Prog 1974 – there is a smashingly silly Tharg story in the vein of all Tharg stories, in a seriously thrill-power packed issue you must not miss… so thrill-powered things spill over into Judge Dredd Megazine Issue 371!

New Titan Comics this week are the superb, ongoing Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor #1 by Cavan Scott, Adriana Melo and Mateus Lopes (reviewed here); Samurai #2 by Jean-François Di Giorgio and Frédéric Genêt; and Rivers Of London: Night Witch #2 by Ben Aaronovitch & Andrew Cartmel, Lee Sullivan and Luis Guerrero.

Phoenix 223 - CoverAs usual, don’t forget that despite some British publishers lack of faith in full-blown cover to cover comic strip action and humour, there are plenty of comics on sale in newsagents that still delight in bringing you such subversive delights, including The Beano, Commando (latest release intel here), Judge Dredd Megazine, Panini’s superhero titles, Titan Comics superhero titles and VIZ, with great strips also featuring in titles such as Doctor Who MagazineDoctor Who Adventures, Titan’s Doctor Who: Tales from the TARDIS (collecting their strips from the US format titles) MegaTOXIC and many others.

Plus, the wonderful Phoenix Comic is now on sale in many (but not all) Waitrose supermarkets and – at last, selected high street WH Smiths stores – and some comic shops (stockist list here) as well as available on subscription.

Hachette Partworks, whose partwork titles include Doctor Who: The Complete History and Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection, continue their How To Draw The Marvel Way, along with their re-release of their hugely successful part work, Marvel’s Marvel Ultimate Graphic Novel series.

Note that you may now have to subscribe if you want to continue buying Part Works some are not distributed in newsagents after their first few issues.
