Whoof. Not looking great for July. Marvel's still wrapped up in Blood Hunt stuff, DC continues its goose-egg on publishing anything I'm interested in, and the rest aren't exactly bursting with enticing options.
What's new? Marvel does have one of their 5-week mini-series coming out, Annihilation 2099. Except rather than having a overarching story, it seems like a bunch of one-shots introducing 2099 versions of characters. Nova 2099! Silver Surfer 2099! Dracula 2099! Oh, wait, Dracula is the same guy, just on a planet that's always night or something.
If I don't buy that, and continue to avoid Blood Hunt tie-ins, I'd be down to one Marvel comic in July. Yeesh.
Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza, Stephen Mooney, and Triona Farrell have a new book out through Image, Free Agents, about a group of survivors of an intergalactic war, back on Earth and kind of at loose ends. Scout's re-soliciting The Dusk, about a public defender trying to clean up the city, but it's one of those, "here's a taste, the collected edition is coming out soon," books. Not sure that's worth the trouble.
Seven Seas has the first volume of Kuboken's Killer Shark in Another World, about some kid who can summon bloodthirsty fictional sharks to help defeat the Demon King terrorizing her world, assuming the sharks don't eat everyone first. I'm not buying it, but like Winnie-the-Pooh Demon Hunter, it felt worth mentioning.
What's ending? Well, if I buy Annihilation 2099, it would end in July. Technically, that's one.
All the rest: Deadpool, Blow Away, Morning Star, all on their fourth issues. Blood and Fire is on issue 3, still no sense of whether it's a mini-series, ongoing, or what. Scout re-solicited the second issue of Rogues, albeit while showing one of the covers for issue 1. Not really encouraging me that Scout's got its shit sorted. Was hoping to see the second issue of A Haunting on Mars, or some issue of that Loop book, but no dice.
Man, that is dire.
