May Previews Pick

Brutal previews this month! With out a doubt the best in a long time. I’m going to be way above my limit on this one, there are just too many good things coming out. And the Top Shelf blog called this a very weak month! Hah!

AMERICAN FLAGG DEFINITIVE COLL HC 1 – Howard Chaykin’s seminal work finally re-released in HC. This has been on the horizon for years, and I glad it’s finally getting released.
AMERICAS BEST COMICS PRIMER TP – A cheap trade of I think 5 Americas Best Comics #1’s. Why not?
ATHENA VOLTAIRE TP VOL 02 FLIGHT O/T FALCON – The second Athena trade. Oft compared to Indiana Jones. I’ve only read a couple of issues, so I’m looking forward to reading the whole story.
BILLY BATSON AND THE MAGIC OF SHAZAM #1 – A Shazam comic for kids. Looks fun.
CONTRACT #1 (OF 3) – Sci-Fi story with an interesting premise.
HALO & SPROCKET TP VOL 02 NATURAL CREATURES – I loved the first H&S trade – it’s about a girl who lives with an angel and a robot. Very smart and very funny.
I KILL GIANTS #1 (OF 7) – A girl with a Norse hammer who claims she kills giants. Awesome looking art.
MINI MARVELS TP VOL 01 ROCK PAPER SCISSORS DIGEST – Always dug these, especially the Civil War ones, which I’m not sure if they are included in this.
NOCTURNALS CARNIVAL OF BEASTS (ONE SHOT) – Me loves me some Nocturnals, new HC this winter I think.
PERRY BIBLE FELLOWSHIP ALMANACK HC – One of the best web comics.
PILOT SEASON THE CORE #1 – Jonathan Hickman – sold!
RUNNERS BIG SNOW JOB #2 – New Runners series continues.
SPAWN NEO NOIR TP – I dunno, I read one of this storyline and liked it. Good hype as well.
TITANIUM RAIN #1 (OF 12) – Yay! New Kat and Josh series! I loved Utopiates and this one looks to be even better. Check out the art on their site.
TOO COOL TO BE FORGOTTEN HC - New Alex Robinson story about a guy who goes back in time to HS. Ultimate concept, I love it.
UNIVERSAL WAR ONE #1 (OF 6) – Another Marvel EU comic. Need to check it out.
ZOT TP VOL 01 COMP BLACK & WHITE STORIES 1987 TO 1991 – Ah, Zot. I have some of the trades, but this appears to be a nicer version.
