BOOM! STUDIOS
(W) Michael Alan Nelson (A) Dan Mora (CA) Emma Rios
Luci Jennifer Inacio Das Neves (most people just call her "Lucifer") is a supernatural thief-for-hire, stealing wondrous objects from the dark denizens of the
netherworld for her mentor/mother figure, Val Brisendine. But when Lucifer accidentally unleashes a terrible evil from one of the paintings hanging in Val's art gallery, will any of the tricks up her sleeve be enough to stop it?

And now an important word from....
COMICBOOKMAN SEZ: Well lets see...hmmmm....I could talk about-naw. I know, how's about....nope. Then there's always-I got nothin' See you next week!

THIS WEEK'S STANDINGS: More new comics this week (165) compared to last week (150) as DC holds onto the top spot with 32 new titles and Marvel moves into second with 26 new titles. Image and IDW both advance to 3rd and 4th place respectively, each up overall one position from last week. Again Image's 20 titles will cost you considerably LESS than IDW's fewer 19 titles, the difference being attributable to Images overall lower price point per book compared to IDW. Additionally when you filter out all the variants and second prints from the two companies Image is shipping an actual 17 new titles compared to IDW's 11 new titles. So this week you are definitely getting more for less form the "Mighty I". Dynamite falls to 5th place with eleven books but only six actual titles being shipped out. INDY COMICS continue strong with 57 titles this week, three of which are from the slowly strengthening Action Lab.

IDW shakes the Transformers Homewold to its core with TRANSFORMERS PRIMACY #1 and begins an all new Mega City adventure featuring Cassandra Anderson in JUDGE DREDD ANDERSON PSI DIVISION #1. Meanwhile Zenescope takes us into cheesecake hell (literally) with GFT INFERNO RINGS OF HELL #1 a three issue mini-series spinning out of Grimm Fairy Tales #100. Marvel wraps up the three part "NO END IN SIGHT" story line that began in the Uncanny X-Men Special continued in the Iron Man Special and concludes with the NOVA SPECIAL #1. DC ships out five more "Selfies" variants this week as well as a trio of unrelated Second Prints. And finally as mentioned above Action Lab unleashes two new titles. The first is SOUTHERN DOG #1 from their  Danger Zone imprint which puts a mature "Southern Fried" twist on the teen wolf concept. Their other release is MIDNIGHT TIGER #1 from Action Lab proper and tell the story of a kid given powers to save the world when the heroes fail. releases. All this and more coming on Wednesday.
