This Week’s New Releases and Recommendations

Oops! I'm a total slacker and I forgot to do my new releases post this morning. Don't fret, though! If you're reading this it means that I've now remembered. On to the comic books that have released today and are new!

SWORD #3
This makes the top of my list because I was reading it when I remembered to write this. I was like "What an awesome New Release and/or Recommendation!" and then I was like "Oh crap!". SWORD #3 is the best of the series so far, with even more crazy violence than the first issue. (Which is quite a feat if you read the first issue.)

NORTHLANDERS #1
Brian Wood writes a comic book about Vikings. I've been saying for a while now that Vikings are the new ninjas and/or pirates. So jump on the Viking train! You can then laugh at the kids with their Pirate-y and/or Ninja-y t-shirts that they got at Target!

THE ESCAPISTS HC
Ah, Brain K. Vaughan. You write things and they are good. That's what we love about you. Although it seems that BKV gets no love from Dark Horse, because the only thing it says on the front of this book is "Introduction by Michael Chabon". Well, that and "THE ESCAPISTS". Oh well, it's still a great book about a kid who buys the writes to the Escapist and publishes a new Escapist comic. Very meta!

If my three comic list is not a big enough list for you, there is another, more complete list if you click on the link below to get the list.
