Title: Stellar

Issue No.: 1
Creative Team: Joseph Keatinge and Bret Blevins
I was a huge fan of Bret Blevins work on Marvels New Mutants so it’s great to see him return to comics with Stellar. Teaming with writer Joseph Keatinge to tell the tale of ultimate weapon turned bounty hunter Stellar, transporting us to another dimension, filled with crashed spaceships, fast-talking aliens and ageless wonders.
Title: Mage: The Hero Denied

Continuing the final adventure of Kevin Matchstick, The Hero Denied is proving to be a fitting conclusion to the Mage trilogy. In this issue Kevin desperately searches for his family as the sinister Gracklethorns deal with their own family dilemmas.
Title: Kaijumax Season Four
Publisher: Oni Press
Issue No.: 1
Creative Team: Zander Cannon
Returning for its fourth season, Kaijumax finds Dr. Zhang, who is unable to scale back down to human size, entering the heretofore unseen female wing of Kaijumax. If you’re a fan of giant monsters and Ultraman then this is the comic for you.
We also recommend the following Trade Paperbacks released today –

What happens when the Doom Patrol meets the JLA?
