NEW COMICS
4 JUNE 2014
Fear not, Bat-fans! Because BATMAN #31 did not ship to the UK last week, it will be here on Wednesday, as will last week's other awol titles JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK, LARFLEEZE, and RED LANTERNS. So what's new for this week? Lots of new series, including an action adventure based 80's cult classic BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, dystopian miniseries THE SUPERANNUATED MAN by the creator of Miniature Jesus, the return of all ages favourite TINY TITANS, a miniseries for VAMPIRELLA, an adaptation of bestselling urban fantasy THE DRESDEN FILES, the creator of Courtney Crumnin looks to defeat traditional 'Disney princess' stereotypes in PRINCESS UGG, and fantasy adventure RISE OF THE MAGI. Adventure Time miniseries THE FLIP SIDE comes to an end, as does JUDGE DREDD MEGA CITY TOO and REVELATIONS. Events continue to dominate with ORIGINAL SIN and SUPERMAN DOOMED, Loki gets into trouble (what else is new) in AGENT OF ASGARD and it's the penultimate issue of THE WAKE!

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA #1
WHY WE LOVE IT: BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA is one of our favorite cult-classic films because it mashed together '80s action and supernatural fantasy movies with '70s kung-fu flicks. This is the first time any new BIG TROUBLE stories have been told, and we have the film's original directer, John Carpenter, working with Eric Powell (THE GOON) on the story. You can't beat that!
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Eric Powell is a huge fan of BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, so the sense of humor and over-the-top action he brings to THE GOON will be all over this book. Plus, Brian Churilla's (THE SIXTH GUN) art on this perfectly captures the outrageous world of BIG TROUBLE.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Jack Burton, a macho, truck-driving adventurer, finds a stowaway hiding on his rig, "The Pork Chop Express", but that soon becomes the least of his troubles. He helped his best friend Wang save his fiancée from the clutches of a demon, but now the wedding has been invaded by more evil forces with one thing on their minds -
revenge against Jack Burton!

Four months have passed since the events depicted in Dead Beat, Jim Butcher's New York Times-bestselling 7th novel in the Dresden Files series. A war is raging between the vampire forces of the Red Court and the White Council-a war the wizards are losing. So desperate are the Council that they've dragooned the experienced and the outcast to reinforce their thinning ranks of Wardens. One of these draftees is one Harry Dresden, Chicago's only wizard for hire and a guy who's long been looked upon with suspicion by the supernatural authorities. Now, he's one of them, and his first big mission as a Warden is a doozy: take a small team of greenhorns to a frigid town in the middle of nowhere to rescue a handful of mortals who've been targeted by the Red Court. The question is, why exactly are these particular mortals so crucial to the outcome of the war? The answer will come only if Harry can keep them, and his team, alive for one very long night. An all new, original Dresden Files story featuring stunning artwork from Carlos Gomez, and covers by the amazing Stjepan Sejic!
