Something for the Weekend: US Comics On Sale 23rd September 2015

Wild's End: The Enemy Within #1 Main Cover by I.N.J. Culbard

Wild’s End: The Enemy Within #1 Main Cover by I.N.J. Culbard

Due to catching up after a break on an island where comics seemed in even more short supply than Skaro, I’m afraid I’m unable to bring you a detailed listing of this week’s new US comic releases this week. If I get chance, I’ll go back into this list and expand it if I’m able.

Buy Wild’s End: The Enemy Within #1 from Boom! Buy Rivers of London #3 from Titan! That is all.

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, Commando, Judge Dredd Megazine, Panini’s superhero titles and VIZ, with great strips also featuring in titles such as Doctor Who MagazineDoctor Who Adventures, Titan’s Doctor Who Comic (collecting their strips from the US format titles) Mega, TOXIC and many others.

The Hachette Judge Dredd Collection is also on sale now, but you may now have to subscribe if you want to continue buying it as Part Works are not distributed in newsagents after their first few issues.

Plus, the wonderful Phoenix Comic is on sale in all Waitrose supermarkets as well as available on subscription and through its dedicated iPad app.

• You may also be already thinking about Christmas, so you may also like to check out this year’s crop of annuals, which are invading bookshops at a steady pace right now.

Free Country A Tale Of The Childrens Crusade

Free Country A Tale Of The Childrens Crusade Hard Cover (Mature Readers)
Neil Gaiman, Peter Gross, Mark Buckingham

“A long time ago, I wrote the first part of a story, and waited to find out how it middled, then worked with Jamie Delano and Alisa Kwitney on the end,” says Neil Gaiman. “For years people have asked how and when they could read all the story of The Children’s Crusade.

“I’m glad to say that it’s now been retooled and refinished, and is something both old and new – a forgotten jewel and a new delight.”

For the first time ever, the two-issue miniseries The Childrens Crusade, written by Neil Gaiman, Alisa Kwitney and Jamie Delano, is collected – and with them, a new chapter written by Toby Litt that completes the tale as Gaiman originally envisioned it.

When several children go missing in a small English town, the Dead Boy Detectives are on the case. A series of strange and unexpected twists takes them to Free Country, a place that dates back a millennium, where children never grow old and are free from the abuse and tyranny of adults. But Free Country is failing, and what it needs is the strength of five innately powerful children – including the young sorcerer Timothy Hunter – to restore their uncanny world to what it once was.

This hardcover collects The Childrens Crusade #1 and #2, written by Gaiman with cowriters Alisa Kwitney and Jamie Delano. A brand-new middle chapter written by Dead Boy Detectives novelist Toby Litt and drawn by artist Peter Gross (The Books of Magic, The Unwritten) completes this compelling tale of ancient history, stolen dreams and lost children.

It also features a new introduction by Gaiman, plus new cover art by artist Mark Buckingham (Fables, Dead Boy Detectives).

Wild’s End: The Enemy Within #1 Jackpot Cover by Jake Wyatt

Wild’s End Enemy Within #1
Writer: Dan Abnett Art: I.N.J. Culbard Cover: I.N.J. Culbard

What’s to Love: The first Wild’s End miniseries kept us in constant suspense with its unlikely mash-up of War of the Worlds and The Wind in the Willows. We’re holding our collective breaths once again as author Dan Abnett (Guardians of the Galaxy) and illustrator I.N.J. Culbard (The King in Yellow) are set to play with the paranoia and ‘enemy amongst us’ conspiracy theories prevalent in stories we love like Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The X-Files. What It Is: As Clive, Susan, Fawkes, and the other survivors of the alien invasion of Lower Crowchurch try to cope with what just happened to their small town, the military arrives in an attempt to cover up the ‘incident.’ Town residents are immediately detained, questioned, and treated with suspicion. Are they alien spies, collaborators, sympathizers? Clive and the rest will need to escape imprisonment if they’re to get the word out and warn the rest of the world in case the aliens return.
