22 JANUARY 2014

Time to rev up your Harley, because here comes everyone's favourite mischief maker, accompanied by her best partner-in-crime Poison Ivy in HARLEY QUINN #2!

The big premiere everyone's talking about this week is Rick Remender's new Image series DEADLY CLASS - set in the 1980s, it's a nostalgic look at the perils of being a teenager, made all the more fearsome when you attend a school for criminals and assassins.

Lots of other great debuts this week as well, with zombie-king George Romero's EMPIRE OF THE DEAD miniseries, all ages antics in SCRIBBLENAUTS UNMASKED and MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDS FOREVER, Judge Dredd visits California (because why not?) in JUDGE DREDD MEGA CITY TWO, a new Marvel superhero team headlines ALL NEW INVADERS, and the next instalment of my favourite ongoing indie series UNWRITTEN: APOCALYPSE. More choice titles arriving in store: UMBRAL, PRETTY DEADLY, HAWKEYE, WOLVERINE: ORIGIN II, BATMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.

Five Reasons
Why You Should Read
Black Widow #1

By Nathan Edmondson and Phil Noto

It's absolutely gorgeous

Black Widow is without a doubt one of the most lavishly beautiful comics on the shelf, with Phil Noto's illustrations giving it a timeless look that are not only visually appealing but a magnificent work of sequential art.

It's definitely an action comic

I wouldn't want to spoil anything, so here's just a brief taste:

Natasha is divinely sexy, without ever feeling exploitative
Glamorous women kicking butt are a superhero staple, but far too often their outfits are impractically (and barely) superglued on and they appear to be missing their internal organs. Noto's Black Widow manages to be powerfully built for action, believably seductive, and blissfully real. I cannot state enough how much I appreciate this fact.

Natasha is an unreliable narrator...and it's fantastic

Like Hawkeye, this comic is about what Black Widow does on her days off from being an Avenger, and is meant to give us insight into her backstory and a better understanding of character as she atones for the sins of her past. Except of course that we can never know the truth, because everything she tells us is a lie. Or is it?

Support female lead comics!
Marvel are releasing several new female solo titles for the All New Marvel Now initiative - She-Hulk, Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel (rebooting at #1 for new readers) - and Black Widow certainly has the potential to the biggest success, with a killer creative team and name recognition for the Marvel film fans to give it crossover appeal. I hope comic readers will embrace these titles and prove to the Big Two that female led comics are not a risk, but a benefit we can all enjoy. So don't hesitate, give Black Widow #1 a try today!

Raleigh doesn't have a soul. A cat stole it - at least that's what she tells people - at least that's what she would tell people if she told people anything.

How did such a shy teenage girl end up in a car with three of her hooligan classmates on a cross-country road trip? Being forced to interact with kids her own age is a new and alarming proposition for Raleigh, but maybe it's just what she needs - or maybe it can help her find what she needs - or maybe it can help her to realize that what she needs has been with her all along.
