New Comics Day 8/20 & 8/27/14
Man that is a big stack of comics. And thats even with missing like four of them. Starting with the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. With the boys ending up joining a crew of conditional pirates to fight some bad pirates. Bad pirates who have anarchronistic speed boats and laser pistols...
Samurai Jack pays a return visit to his friend Soule the Seer, who has an idea for a mystic ritual centered on Jack's ancestral blade that could return him to his home time. But first giant scorpions and devil dogs...
Marko and Alana's marriage hits some rocky shoals in Saga, Prince Robot has a meeting with King Robot and Dengo the Robot Revolutionary looks into making use of the illegitimate theater...
The Wicked & the Divine introduces the triple-Goddess of the Morrigan/Badb/Gentle Annie to go with Lord of Darkness, Baphomet...
Malcolm Dragon continues to be a mutated more Savage Dragon as he cleans house on the Vicious Circle. Plus a back-up story of Vanguard and Friends in Spaaaaaaace...
Tomas and his fellow surviving anti-alien friends discover the secret to making their anti-alien gun work in the Saviors. You just have to be high when you shoot an alien shapeshifter with it...
Brubaker & Phillips latest noir comic is the Fade Out, a late 40s decadent Hollywoodland story...
Two weeks and two issues of Knights of the Dinner Table. They must have rushed one out so they wouldn't get knocked behind schedule by GenCon like normal. Mostly still focusing on the Sword of Death & Destruction in-party conflict at the Knight's table. But that looks to be spreading out and affecting the other groups. Mostly because of the betting on the outcome and attempts to handicap said outcome...
Dark Horse Presents launches again with a new format and new #1 issue. The price drops down to $4.99 but the page count drops to 56 pages as well. Of course part of that launch is a new Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot short, as well as starting a new arc of Resident Alien...
And in addition to the regular Conan the Avenger where Conan hunts for a dangerous witch and has a falling out with his Princess boss/lover; there is also Groo vs. Conan where the pair meet for the first time and team-up to hunt the marauding swordsman known as Groo...
Adventure Time has Marceline and Bubblegum get driver's licenses and introduces the psychic danger of the Mnemonoid. And Adventure Time: Banana Guard Academy has academy commandant Captain Banana Guard looking to force all those non-banana recruits to quit, since he can't just kick them out. So its kind of like the first Police Academy movie but without a guy who makes funny sound fx just with his mouth...
And finally I didn't realize until just now that the Bee & Puppycat comic is an anthology featuring various writers and artists. Don't know how I missed that for three issues...
