FLOPPIES - under $5

September 3rd was the release of a new Batman #1, and it's guaranteed to be the best-selling comic of the week, but there are others that also came out that I’d like you to take a look at while you’re getting the newest Batman comic. 

Ancestral Recall #2

Ahoy $4.99

(W) Jordan Clark (A/CA) Atagun Ilhan

Concepts like this are super interesting to me. 

Painter Melvin Waring sets out to find his missing wife June—armed with the literal power of Black history, and aided by a smart but awkward teenage friend. But the futuristic Modern Living Corporation has other plans for June. By Jordan Clark (Aquaman) and Atagun Ilhan (Poison Ivy).

Closer (One-Shot)

Image $3.99

(W) Kieron Gillen (A/CA) Steve Lieber

This one was originally part of the IMAGE! Anthology from a few years ago and now it’s getting collected into this one-shot.

It starts with birds materializing. It'll end with the death of the heavens. Cosmic horror you can dance to in a one-off apocalypse romance from KIERON GILLEN (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, THE POWER FANTASY), STEVE LIEBER (THE FIX, Jimmy Olsen) and TAMRA BONVILLAIN (Once & Future).

Thundercats Lost #6

Dynamite $4.99

(W) Ed Brisson (A) Rapha Lobosco (CA) Declan Shalvey

I’m a big Thundercats fan and the Dynamite versions have been really great.

The remnants of the Lost team push forward on their quest to complete their mission, guided by a mysterious map retrieved from the wreckage of their ship. But over the horizon looms a new threat — the Berserkers, led by the deadly Hammerhand! Expert recon scouts ED BRISSON and RAPHA LOBOSCO open a new grid sector in ThunderCats: Lost #6 — featuring closely coordinated covers by DECLAN SHALVEY, LOBOSCO, MEGHAN HETRICK, MARCO FAILLA, and JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG!

A secret show, high school reunion and new friends

That's what Connor and Becca, two classmates who never crossed paths until their ten-year reunion, decide when they hear about a secret All Time Low show in town.

Autumn Kingdom TP Vol 1 Through The Blight

ONI

(W) Cullen Bunn (A/CA) Christopher Mitten

Cullen Bunn has to be the one of the most prolific writers in comics and that continues here with The Autumn Kingdom. 

Venture into the deathly dark fairy tale that’s been hailed as one of the year’s best new comics series from masters of horror Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Sixth Gun) and Christopher Mitten (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Saturn Returns)!Fantasy novelist Andrew Kier takes his family on an idyllic vacation to the edge of a lush Swedish forest, where he hopes to finish writing his latest book in The Wraithbound Queen series. After his young daughters, Sommer and Winter, venture into the woods and find a clearing of statues nearby—featuring trolls, goblins, and a warrior queen missing her swordhand and weapon—a horde of fearsome fae creatures smash into their cabin and kidnap Andrew and his wife, Melissa. Sommer and Winter evade capture and flee into the forest, where they stumble upon a giant sword that mysteriously grants them the power to fight the monsters who stole their parents. As the girls slice their way to answers, centuries of horror and conflict are revealed, and they descend into the Autumn Kingdom to save their family—and their sisterly bond—if they’re not too late

Jesus Orellana’s Juvenile TP

Image $14.99

(W/A/CA) Jesus Orellana

I’m a sucker for superpowers and government secrets, if you are check this one out. 

In a future where a deadly virus kills everyone upon reaching adulthood, teenagers are confined to massive medical facilities—until a mysterious new patient arrives and reveals a shocking secret.

SARA is locked up in El Castillo, a fortress for troubled youth ruled with an iron fist by a retired military officer. Everything changes with the arrival of a mysterious new patient who reveals a shocking secret: the virus isn't killing them; it is giving them telekinetic abilities that the adults are desperately trying to suppress with medication and experimental surgeries.

In a race against time, they decide to use their newfound powers to escape. But when the adults find out, they will discover that not only are their lives at stake, but also the fate of the human race.

Visionary filmmaker JESÚS ORELLANA (Rosa) storms into comics with a thrilling and fast-paced graphic novel that seamlessly bridges the gap between film and comics!

The Power Fantasy TP Vol 2

Image $16.99

(W) Kieron Gillen (A/CA) Caspar Wijngaard

This has to be in my top 5 favorite comics going right now.

Imagine six people of such power that if they ever came into conflict, the world would end. Now imagine them never coming into conflict. Which is easier to imagine? The critically acclaimed series’ second volume continues to pull blocks from the Jenga tower of total annihilation.

Come dance to the ticking of the doomsday clock with KIERON GILLEN (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE, DIE) and CASPAR WIJNGAARD (HOME SICK PILOTS, ALL AGAINST ALL) in the second collection of this sell-out epic.
