Ordinarily I like to do deep dive articles here at the Planet, but there were just too many stellar titles to write about this New Comic Book Day, so here is your weekly ranking of what you should be getting your hands on this week.
1) Merry X-Men Holiday Special
It’s Christmas at Xavier’s! To celebrate, here’s an advent calendar of mutant yuletide joy. Twenty-five one page stories from different writers and artists (including the team that gave us Multiple Man, as well as the likes of Charlamagne Tha God), focusing on the best and brightest of mutantkind. Jubilee! Storm!! DR. NEMESIS!!! Ho-ho-ho!
The most fun book in superherodom rolls into a brand new story. After wiping out Brodok’s giant monsters, the greatest heroes in reality TV must defend their coast from a returning threat. Madame Masque sets her sights on Kate Bishop once again. These two have chased each other from book to book for five years now. It’s a showdown three series in the making!
3) Shazam #1
The first ongoing Shazam book in 20 years! Geoff Johns and Dale Eaglesham reunite to bring us the next chapter in the life of Billy Batson. Something is wrong with the Life of Eternity, and it’s putting the whole Family Shazam in danger!
4) Freeze #1
Imagine the whole world is frozen and you’re the only one who gets to decide who comes back to life. Does everyone deserve to live? This is the question posed by this intriguing new series!
Everything you know about the last survivor of Mars will change with this brand new maxiseries! A longstanding Justice League stalwart, the life of J’onn J’onnz is full of twisted revelations. Brace yourself for a series full of them!
