British Comic Shop Comic Releases (19th November 2014) – Love and War and Fables, Too!

By on

Twelfth Doctor #2 Cover A

 

Here’s a list of comics – both US and UK releases – on sale in specialist UK comic shops tomorrow, Wednesday 19th November 2014, courtesy of First Age Comics, Lancaster. We’ve picked out the titles published by British publishers in bold below, or titles with a British connection we’re aware of.

Don’t forget that despite many British publishers lack of faith in full-blown cover to cover comic strip action and humour, there are still comics on sale in newsagents that still delight in bringing you such subversive delights, including The Beano and Commando, with great strips featuring in titles such as Judge Dredd Megazine, Doctor Who Magazine, Doctor Who Adventures, TOXIC, VIZ and more.

But as it’s a bumper week for titles featuring British creators, let’s crack on, shall we?

Ray Spass’ life was a complete mess – a crumbling screenwriting career, a failed love, an inoperable brain tumor – but that was before the fictional hero of his screenplay, Max Nomax, showed up in real life, insisting that his tumor is a data bullet containing the secrets of Nomax’s past. Hunted by the most deadly super-villain in the galaxy, Spass begins uncovering Nomax’s twisted life story in an effort to shrink the tumor before it kills him. But as Spass dives deeper into the madness that surrounds Nomax, he finds that our semi-fictional hero is not all he appears to be!
