This Week’s Comics – 2 July 2014

This week’s titles are due to hit shelves on Wednesday, 2nd July.

★ PICK OF THE WEEK ★
ROCKET RACCOON #1
SKOTTIE YOUNG
MARVEL COMICS

All-new, in-continuity series!

As defenders of the cosmos go, Rocket Raccoon has faced his fair share of galactic battles. He’s been a hero to the weak, a champion of good, a protector of the innocent, a heartthrob to the many intergalactic female species and now–a raccoon on the run?! ( I’m sorry, I’m sorry, a “formidable-and-expert-Guardian” on the run. Rocket is not a raccoon, okay?) Rocket’s high-flying life of adventure and heroism may soon be a thing of the past when he becomes a wanted man-and the authorities are not the only one on his tail! (We’ll definitely be overusing that pun!)

Superstar creator Skottie Young brings his A-game as writer and artist on the series we’ve been waiting decades for. Because let’s be real, this is the only Guardian of the Galaxy you actually care about. Am I right?

BATMAN / SUPERMAN #12
GREG PAK | JAE LEE
DC COMICS

A new arc begins following the events of “First Contact.” The worlds of Batman and Superman come to an explosive clash as something terrible happens to the World’s Finest team, and a Dark Knight who is not quite himself must team up with Lois Lane to find a missing Man of Steel. Meanwhile, Selina Kyle encounters a person of amazing strength who has no idea who he is.

DEADPOOL VS X-FORCE #1
DUANE SWIERCZYNSKI | PEPE LARRAZ | SHANE DAVIS
MARVEL COMICS

Journey back to the heady days of the 1990s, when two characters debuted who would change the face of comics…Cable and Deadpool! In this all-new tale, we learn of the pair’s first meeting, well before New Mutants #98, as Cable and his soon-to-be X-Force race through the timestream to stop the reckless mercenary Deadpool before he destroys American history for good!

SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #7
SCOTT SNYDER | JIM LEE | SCOTT WILLIAMS
DC COMICS

It’s a rampage in the Batcave! It’s come to this: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman against Wraith! Alone, they wouldn’t have a chance – but they don’t have much of one together, either! And all the while, Lex Luthor’s machinations are clicking into place…

LEGENDARY STAR LORD #1
SAM HUMPHRIES | PACO MEDINA | STEVE MCNIVEN
MARVEL COMICS

From the pages of Guardians Of The Galaxy! A brand new series from Sam Humphries and Paco Medina! In this exciting first issue, Peter Quill battles the Badoon, fights to save an orphanage, and still finds time for some flirting with Kitty Pryde–but it’s all in a day’s work for the Star-Lord!
