New Year, New Comics!

To kick 2014 off with a bang, we’ve got a great selection of brand new titles beginning this year!

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: SEASON 10
Christos N. Gage | Rebekah Isaacs | Steve Morris
Dark Horse

New season. New rules. The age-old battle of Slayer vs. vampire is the focus of Buffy’s life once again-it’s downright nostalgic! But with all the toying with magic she’s done lately, this girl should know it’s time for another game change … shouldn’t she?

Executive produced by Joss Whedon!

ACE Opinion: “The new tradition for contiuing popular TV shows’ storylines in comics continues with Season 10 of Buffy. Always a strong title, we expect this to do just as well as the previous few series.”

STRAY BULLETS: KILLERS

One of the most acclaimed crime series ever returns! When Gary Goldsmith and his young son Asa are involved in a deadly hit and run, their night goes from bad to worse when their grisly deed is witnessed by a disturbing stranger. Find out what thirty dollars, a dirty diaper, and a girl named Yummy will reveal about the true meaning of life in a little story we like to call “The Love Ride.” Featuring the return of Spanish Scott!

This new arc of stories about life and love and all the things we do to kill them starts out in the best noir tradition, then turns the genre on its ear. Would you expect any less? If you’ve never read Stray Bullets before, jump in here. Hell, jump in anywhere. Every issue always presents a complete story that fits into a larger whole.

ACE Opinion: “One of 2014’s most exciting prospects is the return of David Lapham’s Stray Bullets. This cool, modern thriller has been sorely missed for the past decade and we are really looking forward to it’s return. I mean, like, REALLY.”

STARLIGHT

Forty years ago, Duke McQueen was the space hero who saved the universe. But then he came back home, got married, had kids and grew old. Now his children have left and his wife has passed away, leaving him alone with nothing except his memories… until a call comes from a distant world asking him back for his final and greatest adventure. This issue launches the much-anticipated Millarworld Universe. Get in on the start of something MASSIVE!

ACE Opinion: “Mark Millar has become a familiar name in pop culture thanks to his forays into film and magazines, and he returns to his comic book roots with another new series, following 2013’s ‘Jupiter’s Legacy’. ‘Starlight’ looks like a swashbuckling sci-fi soiree, and we’re eager to see the expansion of the Millarworld Universe!”

REAL HEROES

They are the six most famous actors in the world and together they play The Olympians, the biggest superhero movie franchise in history. Would you ask them to save the world? They may be our only hope…

ACE Opinion: “Legendary British Comic Artist Bryan Hitch described Real Heroes, his debut creator-owned series, as “the cast of Avengers does Galaxy Quest.” It’s an intriguing idea we’re keen to read and it will undoubtedly look fantastic.”

TALES OF HONOR

The Honorverse expands to comics!

Based on the best-selling military science-fiction novels by David Weber, this original comic book series introduces spaceship captain Honor Harrington on the eve of her execution. From prison, Honor relays her epic adventures, starting with a command outpost to a hellish backwater star system that ends up being the linchpin of an interstellar crisis that will bring war to her home planet. This series is part of a new multi-platform story world that includes a mobile game app to be released with the first issue and a feature film currently in development.

ACE Opinion: “Weber fans will already be very familiar with the adventures of Honor Harrington in the numerous novels that take place in the ‘Honorverse’. This is the first time the series has crossed into the world of comics, and it will be a welcome addition!”

SHEENA: QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE
David De | Jake Minor | Various
Moonstone

‘Die Hard’ screenwriter Steven E. de Souza’s critically acclaimed reboot of Will Eisner’s Sheena, Queen of the Jungle comes to Moonstone in this action packed series! When archaeologists exploring ruins on Rachel Caldwell’s remote jungle estate are found torn to bits, the authorities blame “savage terrorist” Sheena. Rachel knows otherwise, since she is Sheena – but what she can’t believe is the only remaining explanation, the curse of the Jaguar Men!

ACE Opinion: “Strap yourselves in for a bit of old-school adventure in this new ‘Sheena’ book from Moonstone.”
