28-02-24 | The year 2024 is starting with a bang! The comic book publishers of America are treating us to quite a few unmissable titles. If alternate takes on familiar characters are your thing, this is your week! You’ll find our comic book recommendations below.
THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MEN #1
By now, Peter Parker and Miles Morales have teamed-up on countless occasions. But never before have the pair starred in their own ongoing title! Spectacular Spider-Men changes all that. Writer Greg Weisman and Humberto Ramos came up with an unmissable mash-up of Marvel megastars.
THE BAT-MAN : FIRST KNIGHT #1
Bob Kane’s original raw and primal Bat-Man continues to fascinate fans of the Dark Knight. The Bat-Man : First Knight is the latest attempt to examine what makes the 1939 incarnation of the Caped Crusader so special. Setting this tale in the late 30s sets First Knight apart from predecessors.
FRANK FRAZETTA’S DEATH DEALER 2099 #1
Opus Comics continues to pay tribute to the master of fantasy artwork. Frazetta’s Death Dealer, one of Opus most beloved characters, is hurled into the dark and dystopian future. In Death Dealer 2099, a new warrior adorns the cursed horned helmet … with shockingly violent consequences.
ULTIMATE X-MEN #1
Writer and artist Peach Momoko offers readers a unique take on the X-Men Saga. The first issue of the relaunched Ultimate X-Men is clearly influenced by Asian comics and media, steering the series into the young adult genre. A fresh approach, which should appeal to readers old and new.
BATMAN BEYOND 25th ANNIVERSARY
DC Comics reprints their seminal range of Batman Beyond comics, launched way back in 1999. This TV tie-in is a direct continuation of the incredible animated series, in which old man Wayne trains Terry McGinnis to be the new Batman. The paperback collects over thirty classic comics.
