The number one comic that has me most excited is Exit Stage Left The Snagglepuss Chronicles from Mark Russell and Mike Feehan. Russell is known for his brand of witty satire that was most recently on display in comics with the Flintstones and Prez before that. Other exciting comics too! Simone and Staggs’ Crosswinds gets a trade and Marjorie Liu’s Monstress returns, both from Image. Oh, hey! You. Yes, you! Have you missed seeing Stephen Sadowski’s art in comics? You need to get The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson then! Marc Andreyko is writing it too! Find it under Image! Avengers makes the list at least for the short term as several Avengers teams are collapsed into a weekly storyline. Why include it? Well, beloved minor character Living Lightning (or is it just Lightning now?) returns and Dr Toni Ho and Pod (whose new code name escapes me now) from Al Ewing’s US Avengers are certain to appear too. But the downside is $16 a month to follow the whole story. James Robinson is writing George Perez’s much beloved Vanessa Kapatelis into Wonder Woman’s Rebirth continuity. Being a slave to continuity isn’t something I’m known for (hey, we got a compelling Holly Robinson in Catwoman) but something tells me this is a potential train wreck. And Phil Jimenez did some of the art for an issue of Scooby Apocalypse!
Part one of the Previews list covering comics, trades, and graphic novels from publishers such as Boom, Archie, DE, small press, and indies is here!
People’s names listed in bold are either LGBT+ or supportive. Credit where credit is due – Andy Mangels because this was his idea and to Mike McDermott and Steven Leitman for their suggestions and input about several series that have been added to the list!
