Weekly Comics Update - November 19th

Next Week's Releases

Continuing the new tradition of our weekly blog entries for comics, I bring you the next entry of WHAT TO LOOK FOR NEXT WEEK, that's the working title for now. Starting us off is the first issue of a new ongoing series called Capture Creatures. Both Jess and I are very excited about this series. If you can imagine a cross of post-apocalypse, Pokémon and magic then you've more or less got the idea of the series.  With gorgeous artwork and a cool concept, I'm willing to back this book 100%!

Next week we'll also be getting a restock on Death of Wolverine #3 & #4, which will be 2nd printings. I've got one more book to plug this week, Batman '66 #17. I'm plugging the new Batman '66 because it will feature my favorite '66 villain of all time, King Tut.  It ought to be a fun read. Also check out our Comics Specials section on our website at gamersgambit.com, we've got all our available variant covers up, and you can pick them up in store once you've ordered them!

Super Flemish

There is a French photographer named Sacha Goldberger who has taken the Flemish School of portraits, which is the stereotypical kind of portraits for 1600's gentry, and applied it to Superheroes, Star Wars characters and a few Disney heroes. It sounds like a strange mash up, but surprisingly interesting to look at.  She even managed to find some stand in models that look just like Christopher Reeves, Carrie Fisher, Lynda Carter and a few others as their iconic roles.  Here's a link to her site to take a gander!

Stay Classy Denizens!
