  3. Marvelous Market: Best New Comics May 13

    After a few low weeks, I’m buying too many comics again

    Do the publishers collaborate in picking what week they release comics I’m interested in? Two weeks ago there was only one or two books I wanted even a little. This week there are like a dozen. I’m tyring to buy a house bro, I don’t have this kind of budget.

    Hello and welcome to the Marvelous Market, my weekly guide for anyone interested in going to a comic book store today. In addition to a full list of new # 1s and new volume 1s, I’ll be giving you my top 4 recommendations in 4 categories. Like Houston legend Mike Jones rapped, “We’re still tippin’ on four-fours.” I’m going to give you the top four new comics, top four ongoing comics, the top four graphic novels, and the top 4 preorders.

    The work going into this curation is made possible by readers like you. For less than the cost of a cup of coffee a month, you can help make this work possible.

As friends and co-workers struggle to connect under these conditions, some become lovers while others become mortal enemies.

A colossal space pest clogging up your trade route? They’ll get rid of it. A galactic civil war utilizing kaiju on both sides? They’ll…uh…do their best to stay out of it. But where there’s a galactic war, there’s a galactic conspiracy, and our crew members may not all land on the same side of this fight. 

    A brand-new kaiju space epic starts here in Starship Godzilla from Chris Gooch (In Utero, Under-Earth) and Oliver Ono (Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp)! Part of the new Godzilla connected comic book universe with Godzilla (Kai-Sei Era) and Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone!
