New comics 7/16
There's one shocking, albeit well publicized, event occurring today in comics with the death of Archie Andrews in Life with Archie #36 by Paul Kupperberg and Pat Kennedy. This series finale is already sold out in print so check with your local store or go online for digital copies.
Harley Quinn Invades Comic-Con International San Diego #1 by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti is pretty self explanatory and a fun one-shot following her at the con trying to get her book published. It's only right that the best selling anti-hero is taking the industry by storm in print and in real life.
After a delay Kurtis Wiebe and Roc Upchurch have Rat Queens #7 out today. The entertaining sassy maidens continue to battle some monstrous creatures while cracking wise.
It seems every week there's a title by Frank J. Barbiere out and this week is no different. He along with artist Victor Santos debut a new book for BOOM! Studios entitled Black Market #1.
The most exciting Star Wars title in comics, Darth Maul: Son of Darthomir is back with #3 as Maul and Dooku are forced to join together as Jedis are hot on their trail. Jeremy Barlow, Juan Frigeri, and Mauro Vargas have a hot series on their hands.
There's also a batch of #1's debuting today. Take a look below for some notable new releases. Happy reading!
