Valentines Day is fast approaching, and what better thing to get a cherished friend or loved one than the gift of comic books! Just two weeks til Thomas's Secret Stash Sale on Feb 17th! The owner will be dragging tons of mysterious graphic novels and more from the depths of his storage room and putting this eclectic mix of books out for sale a great prices. And don't miss out on the over 20 new dollar boxes we will be putting out at the same time! February is starting off right with a nice solid week of comics. One of my favorite cartoons from childhood is back with a new Thundercats #1 from Dynamite. Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living is the most dedicated villain in all of cartoon history, so excited to see him get swole and fight invading aliens all over again. The Joker finally takes center stage in the Zdarsky Batman run with the appropriately titled Joker Year One starting in Batman #142 which will be a three part story. The book I am most excited about this week is Star Wars Mace Windu #1 from Marvel. The baddest jedi of all finally in a great solo mini, so hopefully he won't be casually thrown out a window this time. All these and more this week at Fanboy Comics.

(W) Declan Shalvey (A) Drew Moss (CA) David Nakayama
Fleeing through space to escape their dying home world, the
ThunderCats were attacked en route by their mortal enemies, the
Mutants of Plun-Darr. After diverting their damaged flagship to a
planet called Third Earth, the surviving ThunderCats now strive to
rebuild their society in harmony with the new world's natives. But
the Mutants, determined to possess the ThunderCats' mystical gem, the
Eye of Thundera, have tracked them down - and they've also forged an
alliance with Mumm-Ra, the devil-priest of Third Earth!
Now
the ThunderCats, led by an inexperienced Lion-O, must band together
as never before to protect their legacy from this combined enemy. But
will they be able to withstand the onslaught of Mumm-Ra the
Ever-Living, once he sets his eyes upon them?
The
triple-threat talents (writers, artists, and ThunderCats superfans)
of DECLAN SHALVEY and DREW MOSS join forces to bring this exciting
new entry in the ThunderCats canon to life! This premier issue
features 24 story pages as well as a host of the finest cover artists
the galaxy has ever seen, including SHALVEY, DAVID NAKAYAMA, LUCIO
PARRILLO, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, and IVAN TAO!
