COMICBOOKMAN SEZ: Guardians of the Galaxy is a month away from hitting your local theater but Marvel is starting their GOG comic barrage this week. They're shipping three Guardians related books this week and one of them GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: GALAXIES MOST WANTED #1 is our Book of the Week. It features with that soon to be breakout pairing of Rocket Raccoon and Groot. Meanwhile DC is wrapping up their hugely popular Bombshell Variants month and starting this month's variant themed titles: Batman 75. Like last month they will be 1:1 Variants but this time featuring significant moments in the 75 year history of the Caped Crusader. In Indy Comicland there are a two new titles of note each featuring adaptations of celebrated author. Avatar goes back to the George R.R. Martin well for EXTINCTION PARADE WAR #1. Dynamite brings us the very first adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel with SPLINTER CELL ECHOES #1. Finally, if you go down to the very bottom of this weeks shipping list (just above the Parting Shot) you'll see a surprise addition to the Alternate Reality family of fine products. Really you will-go take a look, I'll wait.......................see I told you!
