FLOPPIES - under $5

Blue Falcon & Dynomutt #1

Dynamite $3.99

(W) Jimmy Palmiotti (A) Pasquale Qualano (CA) Lucio Parrillo

If you haven’t heard of Blue Falcon and Dynomutt before, they debuted in the 70s on the Scooby-Doo Dynomutt Hour. I've been a fan of the characters for a long time and was excited when they were in the SCOOB movie a few years ago. I’m glad we’re getting a comic now.

Secure in their luxurious penthouse high above the downtown streets, wealthy inventor and art collector Radley Crown and his faithful canine companion enjoyed a charmed existence- until the fateful day a vicious gang of thugs shattered his complacency. In the aftermath of the vicious attack, Crown focused his incredible technical skills to rebuild both himself and his four-legged companion into the ultimate instruments of retribution: The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, Dog Wonder!

It Killed Everyone But Me #1

Mad Cave $4.99

(W) Ryan Parrott (A) Letizia Cadonici (CA) Jorge Corona

Fans of Slasher horror movies should be right at home in this series. This vaguely has the premise of the recent Halloween (2018) movie. I really enjoyed that one. 

In the summer of 1996, Sutton Reed had it all. A popular teenage girl with amazing friends, a loving family, and a bright future. But it all came crashing down over one mysterious weekend that saw her friends brutally murdered and left Sutton as the sole survivor of the legendary Riverton Massacre. Now, three decades later, the death and disappearance of two local teens strike the Riverton community again, forcing Sutton, now a divorced single mother, to face the truth she tried so desperately to hide. Because to catch one killer, she'll have to dig up the real monster she buried away all those years ago.

Racer X #1

Mad Cave $4.99

(W) Mark Russell (A) Nuno Plati (CA) Francesco Tomaselli

If you’d been following this article series, you could have guessed this would have made it into my picks of the week and you’d have been right. So Racer X is here in his own mini-series. 

An exciting new mini-series that ties into Mad Cave Studio's hit Speed Racer series! Before he was Racer X, Rex Racer was a rising star—until the racing world chewed him up and left him for dead. Now masked, scarred, and driving for revenge, he’s back on the circuit with one goal: protect his brother, take down the syndicate, and outrun his past.

GRAPHIC NOVELS - under $20

Calavera PI TP

Oni Press

(W/A/CA) Marco Finnegan

When I first saw Calavera PI, I was instantly hooked. The image of a skull faced man in a trenchcoat and fedora just looks cool and with a name like Calavera you know there is some chicano influence. After reading the solicits I knew I’d love this series and now its collected in a trade. 

Sometimes it takes a dead man to crack the case! In 1925, Juan Calavera died a hero. After a career spent outside the law defending the Chicano barrios where the police refused to operate, he earned a reputation for fearlessness . . . and a gunshot in the stomach. Now, five years later, on Día de los Muertos, his restless spirit has been summoned from the grave to help a desperate former colleague unravel a kidnapping all too close to home. With only days to solve the case before he is called back to the underworld, can Calavera reveal the identity of the masked human trafficker known as La Fantasma before tragedy strikes again . . . and solve the mystery of his own murder in the process?From the desk of rising star Marco Finnegan (Morning Star, Night People), walk the shadow-shrouded alleys of Hollywoodland to solve the mystery of Calavera—a newly resurrected private investigator whose first case is about to straddle the blood-soaked boundaries between the living and the dead!
