We think these comics are going to be well worth a look...

Prodigy #1

Image Comics

Mark Millar, Rafael Albuquerque

Edison Crane’s not content being the world’s smartest man and most successful businessman – his brilliant mind needs to be constantly challenged. He’s a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, genius composer, Olympic athlete, an expert in the occult, and now international governments are calling on him to fix problems they just can’t handle.

"I gave myself a challenge when I created Prodigy. I wanted to write the smartest thing I’ve ever written and at the same time top any action set-pieces I've ever managed in the past and I honestly couldn't be happier with how this has turned out.

Edison Crane is by far the best character I've created in my career and I'm delighted that my genius friend Rafa Albuquerque is drawing the comic-book side of all this. He's really one of the best artists in the world. I can’t wait to share this with everyone. This really is a beaut and we're incredibly proud of it."

Rocketeer: Reborn #1

IDW Publishing

Elsa Charretier, Pierrick Colinet, Javier Pulido

A Rocketeer for a new century!

It's been 80 years since Cliff Secord first found an experimental jet pack and soared through the skies as The Rocketeer, becoming a hero along the way.

Now, decades later, The Rocketeer is all but forgotten, a legend of a bygone era - until Cliff's jet pack is found, but in a most unexpected way - one that causes conflict for several people, each of whom are drawn to the jet pack... some for good and some for evil!

A pulp-inspired modern-day adventure!

First female Rocketeer!

In Shops: Dec 26, 2018

"It's an immense honor for us to contribute to Dave Steven's legacy, and a big responsibility as well — making sure we stay true to the spirit of the character for both old and new fans alike. We hope people will find a fresh, pulp-noir, modern Rocketeer, as Javier Pulido's wonderfully unique style and inventive storytelling bring this new adventure to life."

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1

Marvel Comics

Saladin Ahmed, Javi Garron, Brian Stelfreeze

Balancing his normal life, school, parents, etc... and super-heroing has never been easy, but when the Rhino and a cadre of mysterious criminals start plaguing Brooklyn, things take a dark turn. And Miles doesn't even know the half of it yet.

Eisner Award-winner Saladin Ahmed (Black Bolt) and Young Gun Javier Garrón (Ant-Man and the Wasp) bring you the latest incarnation of the coolest character in the Marvel Universe!

In Shops: Dec 12, 2018

"Spider-Man is, in his essential origins, a teenage hero. And Miles will be 'that' Spider-Man: facing threats against the neighborhood rather than the multiverse. Super Villains, yes, but also other threats that speak to our times. He'll be doing that while also trying to while dealing with bullies, assistant principals, and canceled teen dates. It's going to be hard! Part of what we love about Spider-Man is all the crap he goes through. And Miles will be dealing with some dark realities of our modern world. But I also want this book to have a bright thread running through it, because what we really love about Spider-Man is that he keeps us smiling no matter how grim things seem."

Die #1

Image Comics

Kieron Gillen, Stephanie Hans

The Wicked + The Divine writer Kieron Gillen teams up with artist supernova Stephanie Hans (The Wicked + The Divine: 1831, Journey Into Mystery) for her first ongoing comic!

Die is a pitch-black fantasy where a group of forty-something adults have to deal with the returning unearthly horror they barely survived as teenage role-players. If Kieron's in a rush, he describes it as "Goth Jumanji." That only captures a sliver of what you'll find in oversized debut issue - where fantasy gets all too real.

In Shops: Dec 05, 2018

"Role-playing games are part of the cultural conversation in a way they haven't been since the 1980s. I suspect Die is going to sit a little apart from most of it, especially the comics. Most of the D&D comics either are straight satires or leaning into the fun and games of those memories. We're a lot bleaker. It's me, so it's still playful, but I take fantasy games as seriously as I take pop music and this is a product of that.

Fundamentally, it's a book about a group of adults who realize their lives have not measured up to their teenage hopes, merged with a Planetary-esque examination of everything that lead fed into D&D (And how D&D took over the world's conception of fantasy). That's pretty heavy, and necessary, and its timeliness adds to the sense that it really needs to be done."

Batman and the Outsiders #1

DC Comics

Bryan Hill, Dexter Soy, Tyler Kirkham

When the quest for justice drives Batman into some morally ambiguous areas, he calls in the most moral man he knows: Jefferson Pierce, a.k.a. Black Lightning, and his team of operatives known as the Outsiders!

Several years ago Batman personally put the Barrera family into hiding after they suffered through terrible experiments at the hands of an organization called the Ark. Now all but one of them has turned up dead… and Batman needs to locate Sofia Barrera before the wrong people get their hands on her-and her surprising power! But it wouldn’t be Batman without a hidden agenda, would it? And when Black Lightning, Katana, the Signal and Orphan find out what Batman is really up to, their every loyalty will be called into question!

In Shops: Dec 19, 2018

"All I'll say is, it is a team book with Batman in it, but the safety is off. Hopefully it will be surprising and thrilling in ways that I don't think people will quite expect. I'm becoming known a bit for a certain kind of intensity in my work and I think this Outsiders project will also continue on in that pathway."
