Tomorrow’s comic haul is a diverse batch. We’ve got one of the most beautiful (albeit offal-filled) fantasy books on the stands, the returns of Batman Beyond and Vertigo Comics’ Spaceman, and a proper deluge of other staple-bound weirdness. Shall we?

First Issues

IDW’s Infestation 2 Team-Up: One-Shot promises the unlikely combination of Bat Boy and Cthulhu-like creatures. (I have no sufficient explanation for this at the moment.) There’s also Batman Beyond Unlimited, which is about Terry McGinnis and his adventures with the Justice League of the future. Here’s the synopsis for that:

Batman Beyond is a new recruit in the mighty Justice League, but the team will be immediately tested by a very Neo Gotham-related enemy! How will the team work together to combat this threat?

Grab Bag

There are new issues of Angel & Faith, The Unwritten, Spaceman (which we really enjoy), Game of Thrones, The G.I. Joe: Retaliation Movie Prequel (sneak peek here), FF, and Joe Hill’s The Cape. Also, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the next issue of James Stokoe’s gorgeously violent Orc Stain, which we recently previewed on this very site.

Graphic Novels

There’s a raft of interesting Marvel books on the stands, including the first volumes of Greg Rucka’s Punisher and Jonathan Hickman’s FF and the fourth volume of Uncanny X-Force. The first omnibus of Adam Warren’s manga-esque superhero title Empowered is also out on hardcover.

And as usual, here’s the list of everything being released to comic stores tomorrow, and you can find your nearest comic retailer here. Happy reading, gang!
