Star Wars #1 by Jason Aaron & John Cassaday – Marvel Comics
Disney’s deal for the Star Wars franchise in 2012 brought the worlds most popular space adventure under the same umbrella as Disney’s other hot property – Marvel Comics. So it was only natural for the comic adaptation of the series to make its return to Marvel Comics in a BIG way. Set in the time between “A New Hope” and “Empire Strikes Back”, this issue has already sold out of its first AND second printings!
Harley Quinn #14 by Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, Bruce Timm – DC Comics
Harley Quinn is everywhere right now, having become one of DC Comics’ most popular characters thanks to her appearances in comics, video games, animated shows, and of course the upcoming Suicide Squad movie. Included in this mystery box is the Flash Variant, drawn by none other than Harley Quinn’s co-creator, the legendary Bruce Timm!
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 by Ryan North & Erica Henderson: Skottie Young Variant – Marvel Comics
The quirky and upbeat Squirrel Girl, defeater of the likes of Doctor Doom, Wolverine, Deadpool, and Thanos gets her own ongoing series written by Ryan North, who you may know from Adventure Time and Dinosaur Comics. Squirrel Girl may be the most powerful person in the Marvel Universe! Featured here is the Skottie Young variant cover.
Ant-Man #1 by Nick Spencer & Ramon Rosanas: Ed McGuinness “Shrinking” Variant – Marvel Comics
Get ready for the blockbuster Ant-Man movie coming in 2015 starring Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, by reading up on Scott Lang the successor to Hank Pym’s Ant-Man. This cover is very unique – it’s a “Shrinking Variant” by Ed McGuinness. Each issue is individually numbered, and features Ant-Man in various states of shrinkage! No two covers are alike!
Spider-Verse Team Up #3 by Various & Jamal Campbell: SIGNED – Marvel Comics
Spider-Verse has been capturing the hearts and minds of Spider-Fans since the event started a few months back. So many alternate universe Spideys have been introduced and this is a book that teams a bunch of them up! Up and coming Marvel cover artist Jamal Campbell was nice enough to sign these copies for ComicBoxer. We think you’ll be seeing a lot of him in the near future!

POP #1 by Curt Pires & Jason Copland – Dark Horse Comics
This book supposes that the pop superstars that we idolize are merely products; creations of the world’s richest individuals. These idols have bosses, and those bosses don’t like it when work isn’t performed to their specifications, and they definitely don’t like it when one of their products escape! Artist Jason Copland and writer Curt Pires have both been named “Creators to Watch” in 2013 & 2014. BONUS: If you’ve ever wanted to see a certain Canadian music superstar get what’s coming to him, this is the book for you. No, we’re not talking about Burton Cummings.
Wayward #1 by Jim Zub & Steve Cummings – Image Comics
This book is being heralded as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” for the new generation, and that’s not far off the mark. Written by Jim Zub, known for his work on Samurai Jack and Skullkickers teams with artist Steve Cummings to bring us the tale of Rori, a half-Japanese girl who just moved to Tokyo and may possess some supernatural evil-fighting powers! Lovers of teen paranormal drama and Japanese culture unite! This is the book for you.
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (2013) by Brian Michael Bendis & Steve McNiven – Marvel Comics
Originally released in March 2013 this issue brought new life and energy to the Guardians of the Galaxy comic franchise in preparation for the movie which was released this summer. The team you fell in love with at the theater is all here: Star-Lord, Groot, Rocket, Drax, and Gamora along with a special guest – Iron Man! This book was a quick sell out when it was launched and we are happy to include it in this month’s mystery box as a special thank you to our fellow ComicBoxers!
