The second I saw this cover, all I could hear in my head was the 'ba-wowwow' of the guitar in Danger Diabolik whenever he would appear. Not to get into a big rant about Danger Diabolik, one of the greatest movies ever made ever, but this book has it all- fantastic action! Lust driven romance! Dastardly damsels of destruction with big ass guns!! It's like this book dropped out of a wormhole in 1967 to bring back the pure Steranko essence of psychedelic noir! Guaranteed to bring back the groovy, the suave and the downright Diabolik in all of us!

RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!!

BALLISTIC #2

(W) Adam Egyt Mortimer (A) Darick Robertson

 This madcap sci-fi buddy adventure about a wanna-be bank robber and his best-friend Gun, a drug-addicted, foul-mouthed, living gun, marks Darick Robertson's return to the hard sci-fi worldbuilding of his classic Transmetropolitan mixed with The Boys' ultra-violence and the lunacy of Happy.

BATMAN INCORPORATED #1

(W) Grant Morrison  (A) Chris Burnham

BATMAN, INCORPORATED makes its NEW 52 debut with an all-new first issue!
The series hits the ground running as BATMAN and ROBIN face off against the assassin GOATBOY!
LEVIATHAN'S sinister mission revealed!

Morrison and Burnham return to throw Batman's world on it's ear! With the massive cliffhanger of the previous series, everyone has been aching to find out what's in store, as well as how it's going to fit into the new DC 52 continuity, cause, let's face it, there are some serious contradictions here. Ever still, I trust in Morrison to work within the boundaries to create a story that rewrites the rules forever after. RECOMMENDED BY MORGAN!
