THANK YOU for participating in November 2014’s MYSTERY BOX! We’re really excited about the picks we made this month, and we hope you will be too! How did this month’s comics make the cut? Read below and find out!
Batman #36 by Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo: LEGO Joker Variant – DC Comics
Everyone’s favorite super villain is back in Snyder and Capullo’s “Endgame” storyline, and things appear to be getting more dark and twisted than ever! The fact that this variant has a LEGO version of the clown prince of crime gracing the cover made it a shoe-in for this month’s box!
All New Captain America #1 by Rick Remender & Stuart Immonen – Marvel Comics
A bold, new direction for Captain America! This issue, featuring former Falcon Sam Wilson in his new role as Captain America is groundbreaking and will be looked back upon as an important moment in the history of Marvel Comics.
Superior Iron Man #1 by Tom Taylor and Yildiray Cinar “Groot in a Bottle” variant – Marvel Comics
Tony Stark has been bitten by the Axis bug, and Iron Man is feeling a lot more like a jerk than he usually is. This special “Rocket and Groot” variant cover illustrated by Tom Fowler pays tribute to the famous Iron Man “Demon in a Bottle” cover.
The Kitchen #1 – by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle – Vertigo Comics
It’s the 1970s, in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City. Jimmy Brennan and his fellow mobsters have gone to prison and there’s nobody left to continue on with the business, save for the mob wives! This is a classic gangster story told from a completely different point of view. An added bonus is the great cover by Becky Cloonan.
The Humans #1 by Keenan Marshall Keller, & Tom Neely – Image Comics
If Sons of Anarchy and Planet of the Apes got married, this would be their offspring. The Humans is balls out exploitation on the printed page. Nothing is off limits in this book. It’s been generating a decent amount of buzz on the comic con circuit over the last year, and Image Comics has high hopes for the book.
ODY-C #1 by Matt Fraction & Christian Ward – Image Comics
One of the greatest stories ever told, Homer’s The Odyssey, is retold here with a few changes. First, instead of the world of Ancient Greece the story takes place in a futuristic, sci-fi setting. Second, all the male roles such as Odysseus are gender-swapped into female characters. Also – there’s an 8-page fold out!
BONUS BOOK! Zero #12 by Ales Kot & Adam Gorham SIGNED EDITION – Image Comics
Zero is a great book by Ales Kot that is in development to be a TV show at some point in the future. Each issue, Ales invites a different artist to draw the book. This issue was penciled by Adam Gorham, who graciously signed copies of the book for us to include in this month’s shipment! Adam is also working on TMNT/Ghostbusters right now for IDW Comics.
