HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK

• DIE LOADED #1 - Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans are back for a new series, as one year on the game catches up with its survivors for another go-around. Honestly, the amount of terrible RPG and dice puns around coverage of this series is pretty embarrasing. Save for cringe, am I right? Oh...also, for the tabletop roleplaying curious, this week also sees the release of a very affordable comic-format quickstart booklet for the DIE RPG.   

• HELLBOY & THE BPRD THE GHOST SHIPS OF LABRADOR #1 - Gosh! faves Rob Williams and Laurence Campbell reteam with Mike Mignola for a new spooky tale from the casebooks of the BPRD. An agent goes missing while investigating some coastal creepiness, with a town infested by nautical ghosts. There's something in the fog, Hellboy!

• YOUNGBLOOD MASS MARKET EDITION #1 - Initially self-released, Rob Liefeld's much-anticipated return to his 90's super-team, handling both the art and writing, gets a proper release at last! Get a blast of that 90's vibe as Youngblood heads out to sea to tackle a brand new menace.

• PREDATOR BADLANDS #1 - A prequel comic to the just-released film, with Ethan Sacks and Elvin Ching on creative duties. I just saw this at the weekend, and had a blast with it. Definitely not what you'd normally expect a Predator film to be (my 10yo loved it), but very entertaining.

• LIQUIDATOR #1 - Peter Milligan and Piotr Kowalski reteam for a new time-hopping series. Aubrey Street arrives in 1891 New York on the search for a feminist novel that won't actually be published until 1981. Bad news for her as she comes into contact with a rum chap called John Hawkesmore.

• AMERICAN CAPER #1 - Dan Houser, Lazlow and David Lapham present a crime thriller that speaks to the fractured, corrupt heart of the USA. With a cast including a Mormon hit-man and a Mexican beauty queen, it promises to be a sprawling, dark humoured slice of Americana.

• TMNT X GODZILLA #1 - Tim Seeley and Fero Peniche uncover the secret history of the Foot Clan, who were originally intended as some of of kaiju hit-squad. But they've lost their way, thanks to that darn Shredder!

• BATMAN STATIC BEYOND #1 - A future hero team-up courtesy of Evan Narcisse and Nikolas Draper-Ivey, where Old Man Static meets Terry McGinnis to take on a mysterious new villain. Is there any other type?

And that's your lot for another week, panel-fans!

Andrew.
