Super GREEEN! is the theme of the scene this week as Morgan and Casey put the razzle dazzle on this heavy heavy week of comic overload!!! Image, Marvel and DC drop some high profile titles including Batman/Superman, Jupiter's Legacy, Lazarus, X-Men and of course, a little Mr. Burns never hurt anything...Oh yeah, and Copra #7 shows up to kick other comics' asses off the shelf.

GODZILLA: HALF CENTURY WAR TP

(W/A) James Stokoe

​Introducing a new and exciting look at Godzilla's reign of destruction, courtesy of Orc Stain creator James Stokoe! The year is 1954 and Lieutenant Ota Murakami is on hand when Godzilla makes first landfall in Japan. Along with his pal Kentaro, Ota makes a desperate gamble to save lives... and in the process begins an obsession with the King of the Monsters that lasts fifty years!

That's right, I'm takin two picks this week--deal with it. Arguably the coolest looking Godzilla comic ever drawn, James Stokoe, self confessed Godzilla nerd supreme, wrote and drew this epic tale of one man's 50 year battle with the king of all radiated monsters. Featuring more space alien, ancient god, mutated lizard/moth/whatever monsters than you can shake a stick at, this comic will melt your eyes like Space Godzilla's crystal beams, son!!

COMICS SHOULD SMELL GOOD!! ep. 25!

Jokes! Jesus! GOJIIIIRRRAA!! These are just a few of the things you will find within the shiny pages of this week's comics! April Fool's!! We joke. There are no good comics this week. Nothing. At all. Seriously. We just stare at each other for 15 minutes to see who will blink first.

ZANADU RECOMMENDATIONS VIDEO FOR 3/6

After the onslaught of pop culture nerdom that was ECCC, the last thing on your mind is comics, but as we all know the best cure for a hangover is MORE alcohol, so with that in mind, Casey and Morgan bring you the best of the best this week in our special comedown edition of Zanadu hype!

While there was lots to choose from, we were blinded by the fluorescent raunchiness of SEX by Joe Casey; deafened by the rollicking rhythms of TANK GIRL by Jim Mahfood; rode the dark rails of Vasilis Lolos' LAST CALL; went all in on Jim McCann and Janet Lee's galactic gambling scheme in LOST VEGAS and fought tooth and nail with gothic vikings in HELHEIM by Cullen Bunn and Joelle Jones!

All this and a new weekly feature surprise!!
