THANK YOU for participating in October 2014’s MYSTERY BOX! A whopping SEVEN comics were included in this month’s box. We’re really excited about the picks we made this month, and we hope you will be too! How did this month’s comics make the cut? Read below and find out!
Wytches #1 by Scott Snyder & Jock – Image Comics
This probably has one of the most chilling and jarring first few pages of any comic released in recent memory. A movie announcement based on the book has driven prices of this issue as high as $10 already! Look for the series to heat up even more after the release of subsequent issues.
Sabrina #1 by Roberto Aguirre Sacasa & Robert Hack – Archie Comics
Continuing the trend of dark and twisted horror-themed comics after the success of Afterlife With Archie, Sabrina is based in the 1960s. The first issue gives us the back-story of how Sabrina ended up living with her aunts and her cat Salem. This is the Stadium Comics exclusive cover by Francesco Francavilla and normally sells for $9.99 in-store.
Thor #1 by Jason Aaron & Russell Dauterman – Marvel Comics
It’s an all-new Female THOR! A book that has been met with much admiration and also controversy, Thor #1 has been a huge sales success. The Thor we knew has become unworthy, and there is a new person set to take his place. Who is it?
Gotham Academy #1 – by Becky Cloonan, Brendan Fletcher, & Karl Kerschl DC Comics
Teen Drama comes to Gotham! Meet Olive Silverlock and Maps Mizoguchi – two new characters studying at Gotham Academy. Cloonan and Fletcher add some youthful fun to the Bat Family books, and Karl Kerschl tops it off with a bright and heavily stylized look!
Batgirl #35 by Brendan Fletcher, Cameron Stewart, & Babs Tarr – DC Comics
Hipster Batgirl? Sure, why not! Barbara Gordon moves to Burnside, starts acting her age a little more, and decides to don a more practical costume. The book has been wildly popular – so popular in fact that DC is looking to do more re-inventions of characters similar to the re-invention of Barbara Gordon here.
Rasputin #1 by Alex Grecian & Riley Rossmo – Image Comics
The legendary real-life mystic and “mad monk” who consulted Russia’s royal family is given the comic book treatment here with a few embellishments. The first issue is beautifully drawn by Rossmo (no surprise there) and is light on dialogue, but the story is told in the imagery. Issue #1 is sold out, and we can’t wait to see what they do in issue #2!
Men of Wrath #1 by Jason Aaron & Ron Garney – Marvel Comics
A tale of bad men, with no punches pulled, portrayed brutally and honestly by Aaron and Garney. Ira Rath is a Hitman with an interesting family history. This is part 1 of a 5 issue miniseries produced by Marvel Comics under their Icon imprint, and is Jason Aaron’s second book in this mystery box!
