Every month, there is a wealth of new comics and comics-related product that hits our local comic book shops. While some of us may be able to afford to buy everything we see, the rest of us need to be a little more careful with what we spend our money on - especially in the modern economy and with the price of comics rising seemingly month after month. That's why CraveOnline has the Monthly Comics Guide, to help our readers gauge just where their money might be headed in the coming month.
The Monthly Guide is meant to be a central hub for all your Crave comics needs. Expect to see constant updates, including preview art for our selections as it becomes available, interviews with creators, reviews, and more.
What is worth checking out? What will give you the most bang for your buck? We've compiled various different sections that should pander to whatever type of reader you may be. First and foremost, we've got individual issues for those that collect the floppies from week to week. We're also introducing sections on collected editions, original graphic novels, comics-related toys/collectibles, and comic/nerd-related DVDs. Hopefully there is something for everyone, and we encourage your feedback, so contact us! Better yet:
Please not that all entries are based on the month's issue of Previews, the comic retailer's order guide. It's possible that some books will be delayed - or even canceled - but we will do our best to stay up to date.
Single Issues
Catwoman #83 (DC)
I am undeniably pumped for DC's resurrection of select canceled titles to tie-in with Blackest Night, but I am even more excited that they chose Catwoman to be one of them. Even it's only a one-off instance, Selina Kyle's solo series was my favorite book from DC from issue #1 to issue #82, so I'm ecstatic. Also, there's a brand new Adam Hughes cover, and that's always a tasty treat. Catwoman #83 comes out on January 13.
Punishermax #3 (Marvel)
I'm not sure there's anything more to say about Punishermax other than three names: Frank Castle, Jason Aaron, and Steve Dillon. Those three names, even after a mere two issues, have proven to live up to your wildest dreams. Punishermax #3 releases January 13.
