Make It An ACE Christmas

With only a couple of weeks to go, here’s our recommendations for the comic reader this Christmas…

JOKER: DEATH OF THE FAMILY
Scott Snyder | Greg Capullo | Various
DC Comics, 376 Pages, Colour, Hardcover

After having his face sliced off one year ago, The Joker makes his horrifying return in this new epic that stars Batman’s network of crimefighting allies! While The Joker threatens the existence of Gotham City, these heroes-and villains-must find a way to survive in stories from Batman #17, Catwoman #13-14, Batgirl #14-16, Batman And Robin #15-17, Nightwing #15-16, Detective Comics #16-17, Red Hood And The Outlaws #15-16 and Teen Titans #15, plus pages from Batman #13, Batgirl #13, Nightwing #14, Red Hood And The Outlaws #13-14, Suicide Squad #14-15 and Teen Titans #14 and 16.

ACE Opinion: “Death Of The Family has been THE DC storyline this year, helping to shift extra copies of the Bat-family of comic books, and it’s not without reason. Now you can read the whole tale in this brilliant collected edition!”

Search for Batman in our online store.

AVENGERS: ENDLESS WARTIME
Warren Ellis | Mike McKone
Marvel Comics, 120 Pages, Colour, Hardcover

The first in a series of all-new original graphic novels! An abomination, long thought buried, has resurfaced in a war-torn land. But now it wears an American flag. Faced with another nightmare reborn, Captain America will not stand for yet more death at the hands of a ghost from his past. Haunted by his greatest shame, Thor must renew the hunt for a familiar beast. At their side, an assemblage of allies united to end the threats no one of them could face alone. They are soldiers. Warriors. Comrades-in-arms. Mighty heroes led by a living legend, stronger together than apart. They are the Avengers.

ACE Opinion: “Avengers: Endless Wartime is a brilliant, stand-alone graphic novel from fan-favourite writer Warren Ellis. A strong story with fantastic characterization and great art courtesy of Mike McKone, we whole-heartedly recommend this to any reader as a classic Avengers tale!”

SAGA VOL. 1
Brian K. Vaughan | Fiona Staples
Image Comics, 160 Pages, Colour

From New York Times bestselling writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) and critically acclaimed artist Fiona Staples (Mystery Sociaety, North 40), Saga is the sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the worlds. When two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war fall in love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous old universe. Fantasy and science fiction are wed like never before in a sexy, subversive drama for adults. This specially priced volume collects the first arc of the smash hit series.

ACE Opinion: “A fabulous sci fi, fantasy, romance set against the backdrop of intergalactic war, Saga is one of the bestselling books of the year, receiving rave reviews from critics everywhere!”

LEGENDERRY: A STEAMPUNK ADVENTURE #1-7
Bill Willingham | Sergio Fernandez Davila | Joe Benitez
Dynamite, Miniseries Subscription, First Issue: 1 Jan 2014

It’s a world in which the great heroes of our stories live in the flesh. We start in the Big City, protected by Vampirella and the Green Hornet. A scarlet clad woman of mystery rushes into a bar, pursued by a team of assassins. The terror that breaks loose there and then will eventually lead (in the issues that follow) to The Phantom’s Jungle, Flash Gordon’s space age town of Landing, battles in the sky with Captain Victory, and so much more, until finally, we arrive in the Monstrous Lands, protected by… well, nobody.

Miniseries Subscriptions are the easiest way to preorder your new miniseries.

Simply the title to your basket and, once you have completed the checkout, sit back, relax and the following six issues of the comic will arrive regularly through the mail, bagged and boarded!

ACE Opinion: “Beginning in January, we think that Fables writer Bill Willingham’s Legenderry is going to be great. Where else would you see classic characters from the Dynamite stable such as Green Hornet, Kato, Vampirella, Red Sonja and the Bionic Man all ‘steam-punked’?”

HAWKEYE VOL. 1: MY LIFE AS A WEAPON
Matt Fraction | David Aja | Various
Marvel Comics, 136 Pages, Colour

Fraction. Aja. Hawkeye. Kate Bishop. Cars. Guns. And videotape. The breakout star of this summer’s blockbuster Avengers film, Clint Barton – a.k.a. the self-made hero Hawkeye – fights for justice…and good rooftop BBQs! And with ex-Young Avenger Kate Bishop by his side, he’s out to get some downtime from being one of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes! (Immortal Iron Fist) reunite to tell the ongoing tales of the Arrow-Avenger. Barton and Bishop mean double the Hawkeye and double the trouble! Plus: Relive Kate’s first meeting with Clint, as she learns wanting something can be miles away from actually earning it.

Collecting Hawkeye (2012) #1-5 and Young Avengers Presents #6.

ACE Opinion: “A recent surprise hit, Hawkeye makes for a very cool read. More indie in style and content, this title has a grip on the Marvel mainstream and is one of the very best books around!”

BLACK WIDOW
6-Issue Subscription

6-Issue Subscriptions are the easiest way to preorder your new comics.

Simply the title to your basket and, once you have completed the checkout, sit back, relax and the following six issues of the comic will arrive regularly through the mail, bagged and boarded!

ACE Opinion: “Beginning early 2014, we’re really excited about seeing Natasha Romanov’s return to the printed page in an all-new monthly! Written by Nathan Edmondson (Who Is Jake Ellis?) with art from Phil Noto (Ghost), it looks set to be a superb spy-thriller!”

THE WALKING DEAD VOL.1: DAYS GONE BYE
Robert Kirkman / Tony Moore
Image Comics, 144 Pages, Black and White

The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living.

Collects The Walking Dead #1-6.

ACE Opinion: “Going from strength to strength thanks to an amazing original comic series and an equally brilliant TV adaption, the Walking Dead is one of the biggest titles there is. If you haven’t read volume one, pick it up now. If you have read volume one, there’s equal amounts of drama, peril and zombie-terror in the other volumes available!”
