08-05-24 | Next week’s slate of comics celebrates classic characters in every shape, form and size. The biggest (literally!) upcoming event is Godzilla’s 70th anniversary. But he’s far from the only established character making you feel nostalgic. Read on to discover what the comic world has in store for you.
GODZILLA 70th ANNIVERSARY
IDW has already taken Godzilla comics to the next level. Now join them in celebrating the granddaddy of all movie monsters with this huge anthology. It’s almost 100 pages of Godzilla coming at you! Also appearing are fan favourites Mothra, King Ghidorah, Gigan, Mechagodzilla and even heroic Jet Jaguar.
DOOM #1
Smaller in stature but just a powerful is Dr. Doom, given his own series once more. The cover invokes the Marvel tales of the 1980s, as does the story. Artists Sanford Greene and Johanthan Hickman send Doom on a mission to defeat Galactus. But can the sinister Doom be trusted to save the world?
DAREDEVIL BY FRANK MILLER
Get ready for 600 pages of unmissable comic book action. The seminal Frank Miller-era of Daredevil is bundled in this epic hardcover. Not only does the omnibus feature the Born Again relaunch of our blind hero, Daredevil’s demise within the pages of Spider-Man and first graphic novel also feature.
LORD OF THE JUNGLE
You want it classic? I mean really classic?! Reacquaint yourself with Tarzan within the pages of Lord of the Jungle. Dynamite relaunches the ape-man as a complex and multi-faceted jungle adventurer. Dan Jurgens’ Tarzan is no instant hero, but shaped rather by tragedy and the invasion of his jungle home.
UNIVERSAL MONSTERS: DRACULA
From vintage heroes to vintage villains. In a week filled with must-read hardcover collections, Dracula is not to be missed. Read how Dr. Seward deals with his daughter being seduced by the vile Count Dracula. A classic vampire story which Image Comics’ Tynion and Simmonds take to the next level.
