News, events, and information about Comix Experience and the Graphic Novel of the Month Clubs.
Wowsers, huge number of things shipping this week -- it's time to go into the comic book shop if you've been putting it off for a week or two! Our new launch standouts are DUNE #1 and SCUMBAG #1, and the intriguing looking GOITER #5 (I don't see ever being offered #1-4 before). And, oh! Lisa Hanawalt has a new book in I WANT YOU. That's just the barest tip of the iceberg -- full list below the cut! What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreNow this is a good, thick week of comic books! Things yould keep your eyes on? DRACULA, MOTHERFUCKER is a sweet original graphic novel, and I liked the first issues of COMMANDERS IN CRISIS, WE LIVE, and TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS NATIONAL ANTHEM! But there's a metric shed-ton of comics coming out this week, under the cut.... what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreAnother fine week for funny books! A lot of people have asked for THE WALKING DEAD in color, so here comics the launch of that; while P. Craig Russell adapts Neil Gaiman's NORSE MYTHOLOGY; and the modern romantic comedy GETTING IT TOGETHER sports a famous pose. TONS more under the jump — what looks good to YOU?
Read MorePretty nice looking group of comics. I think we're most excited by THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH #1, but there's some strong nostalgia for the GIANT SIZE LEN WEIN TRIBUTE. Plus we're always thrilled when a new volume of MONSTRESS drops! Tons more under the cut; What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreAnother fine looking week o' comics! Obviously the kick off of the X-MEN crossover is the big book, but we're also loving new launches from Vault (AUTUMNAL #1), Boom! (UNKINDNESS OF RAVENS #1), and Aftershock (MILES TO GO #1!) There’s plenty more under the cut — what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreHoooo-ee, I’m going broke with all this good content. Vault’s HEAVY looks pretty compelling, and Dark Horse is only a little late with YOU LOOK LIKE DEATH (but we’re so excited for more Klaus we don’t even care!). Image’s STILLWATER has garnered itself a fair bit of interest as a new horror series and there are too many graphic novels for me to pick out just a few (but also I’d be remiss if I didn’t say I’ve been waiting for the TOM OF FINLAND book for what feels like years…). What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreWe’ve got double Keanus this week with BILL & TED ARE DOOMED and CYBERPUNK 2077 TRAUMA TEAM! As the resident cowboy enthusiast, I’m really looking forward to checking out BLACK HEROES OF WILD WEST, and SEANCE TEA PARTY looks almost painfully cute. EMPYRE is finally coming to a close with AFTERMATH AVENGERS and FALLOUT FANTASTIC FOUR. And there’s so much more under the cut—what looks good to YOU?
*Please note that DC will not be arriving until Thursday.
Read MoreRaise your hand if time has lost all meaning and you have no idea what month it is because you could have sworn some of this stuff was in Previews eight months ago…oh, right, that’s because of the pandemic! I forgot that was happening because my roommates keep bringing new people into the house. Well, anyway, for this super busy week I’m super excited for Aftershock’s LONELY RECEIVER (a woman slowly going crazy after her android girlfriend stops working), Boom’s WE ONLY FIND THEM WHEN THEY’RE DEAD (giant alien gods being used for fuel), Image’s INKBLOT (featuring a trouble-making cat), and the Nib’s new anthology, BE GAY DO COMICS (can’t tell what that one’s about). What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreYou would not believe how many boxes we’re getting from Diamond this week. Seriously, drop by on Tuesday and watch us weep. Anyway, we’re looking forward to the new series Locke and Key: In Pale Battalions Go, the return of Canto with its second season, and ahhhhhhh, a new Junji Ito collection! And Fantagraphics is, as usual, dropping a book we suspect will be sold out within hours of Wednesday morning: Julia Gfrörer's Vision, following a “spinster escaping the demands of life through a sexual relationship with a haunted mirror.” Sigh. Aren’t we all?
Read MoreSlim on the new stuff, but hey, who doesn’t need a week or two to catch up on the backlog? Still, we’ve got some occult detective-work coming from Vault with SHADOW SERVICE, space adventures with IDW’s adaptation of VOYAGE TO THE STARS, and—wow—only one new Marvel series, MAESTRO!
Read MoreThe comics just don't stop comin'! I'm looking forward to seeing how Mark Russell's BILLIONAIRE ISLAND wraps up, and curious what Jason Howard will do with BIG GIRLS. And there's much more under the cut! What looks good to YOU?
It's a really nice looking week, HEDRA from Image, PULP by Brubaker & Phillips, and the third volume of THE ADVENTURE ZONE. Plus so much more, there under the cut! What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreA fine looking week for comics -- new series launches that look cool include CHU and BLISS, and everyone everywhere should have a copy of BLACKSAD in their library! What looks good to you?
We're really struggling with the best way to list new comics each week, considering how little of this material we have shelf copies of these days, and how DC's are no longer in our Diamond shipments (seriously, it adds the whole extra layer of work to something as simple as a shipping list). I really enjoyed the first issue of ENGINEWARD, the Hickman X-Men machine starts running again with GIANT SIZE MAGNETO, and SAVAGE DRAGON hits #250! Much more under the cut; What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreNope, no DC or Marvel periodicals this week! We're thrilled for a new "Walking Dead" story with NEGAN LIVES! Also the long-waited relaunch of GODDAMNED: VIRGIN BRIDES, ooh, and a second issue of PSYCHODRAMA ILLUSTRATED! Much more under the cut! What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreThere's actually a solid amount of real comics coming out this week, despite us still being in curbside-only mode by the City of San Francisco. Despite the obvious B-word choices this week, I think the most interesting things coming out this week are ADVENTUREMAN from Fraction & Dodson, or possibly the dirty ol' FAITHLESS II from Azarello & Llovet. If you like that Conan action, then maybe it is that Euro-comics CIMMERIAN: RED NAILS. Many swell things on the book-side: 920LONDON or the new edition of LUTHER ARKWRIGHT (yay!!!), or not even on this list but something we got last week: CHECK PLEASE v2.

SO MUCH MORE under the cut: What looks good to you?
Read MoreWeek three of the return of new comics is a very very very small one. We're enthusiastic about something new from Garth Ennis: BOYS DEAR BECKY, a new Beto joint: PSYCHODRAMA ILLUSTRATED and finally the first collection of Hickman's X-MEN! Much more after the jump — what looks good to YOU?
Read More*creak* goes the machine, as it slowly spins back up for another Wednesday release. We remind you that we are limited by the City of San Francisco to contactless curbside pick up only, so most periodicals are limited to preorders only. We're ECSTATIC to get you signed up: just call 415-863-9258 or email divisadero@comixexperience.com. I think the new original graphic novel BOG BODIES looks swell, and a nice superhero reprint is Geoff John's STARGIRL. Want a deeper track? Brian enthusiastically recommends I THINK HE'S CRAZY, a collection of B.K. Taylor's NATIONAL LAMPOON comics. Much much more under the cut: What looks good to YOU?
Read MoreWe hope the regular readers are staying healthy!
Welcome back to new comics shipping, just in time for curbside pickup. Because we had to order these comics when we thought we were still forced to be closed, we don't have rack copies of most of these periodicals, but we're happy to reorder for you -- just email divisadero@comixexperience.com or call 415-863-9258 and we'll get whatever comics your want for you!
Most of our received graphic novels ARE in stock, you can order some for Wednesday contactless curbside pickup (WEAR YOUR MASK) by using our webstore at https://comix-experience.myshopify.com/
We do have stock on Kieron Gillen's LUDOCRATS, the best kids book is SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN, and a superb reprint (and value) is that EX MACHINA COMPENDIUM.
Everything is under the cut, so what looks good to YOU?
Read MoreNot a ton of debuts this week, but we think the week's "sure thing" is the new Jonathan Hickman joint: DECORUM, but we're sure at least some people are excited for franchise expansions: X-book with CABLE, and STAR WARS with BOUNTY HUNTERS. On the book side of the world, it's youth facing: ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GHOSTS, a new DC SUPERHERO GIRLS, and the first volume of ADVENTURE FINDERS. So much more under the cut…..What looks good to YOU?
