GoCollect Blog: ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 09/18/2024
gocollect.com

New list is up! Let’s see what we got this week…

Graveyard Club #1 - R. L. Stein, let’s go!

Batman Day 2024 - Batman Elmer Fudd Special Noir #1 - What in the fuck is this? I’ll have to get it, it’s too insane not to.

Batman Day 2024 Batman The Long Halloween #0 - Heard this Long Halloween series rules, I need to read it, hopefully it gets a reprint about nowish…

Batman Day 2024 Batman The Long Halloween #1 - Well we’re part way to a reprint, but I need all of em!

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees TP - Alright I’m probably not picking this up because I have both the A and B covers of all the singles (not my usual MO), but I’m adding it as an honorable mention because if you don’t have it yet you should 100% check this out at least. It’s basically cute Richard Scarry style art with anthropomorphic animals, but the lead character is a serial killer. Huge problems arise in her world, can she stop it or not? I won’t say, you’ll have to read it to find out. I hope this gets picked up for more issues more than anything else out right now.

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #4 - This series rules so far! Glad it’s an ongoing now.

Ice Cream Man #41 - The series responsible for getting me into comics in the first place. It’s like a sad song you can’t stop listening to, or a bruise that you can’t stop poking, it’s depressing but so good. I like how they play with the format, like the issue that was a crossword puzzle, and the one that was all palindromes and could be read both front to back and back to front. This one looks to be a James Bond parody.

Moon Is Following Us #1 - I know nothing about this but it looks interesting.

Tin Can Society #1 - Might pick this up, the cover is intriguing.

Epitaphs From The Abyss #3 - Well issue 2 was better, but it’s still no Creepshow. I’ll continue it for one more at least. Looks like there’s two new EC titles coming out soon too, a new SuspenStories and a new Weird Fantasy, both called something else but similar, of course.

Looks like that’s it for me, what’re you pulling this week?

    What in the fuck is this? I’ll have to get it, it’s too insane not to.

    Oh good. I read the comic book title 3 times. I was expecting it to make more sense the next time I read it. It did not.

    Instead, I thought maybe I was the one who was going crazy. And then I read the rest of the comment. Whew. So it IS an absurd thing to exist. I was afraid I was losing my mind.

        They’re the same comic but the noir one is black and white with no color. Lovern Kindzierski, the colorist, is only listed for the regular special issue, with no colorist in the credits for the noir version.

            Thanks for bringing the comic to my attention in the first place! I agree that the concept sounds so wild that I have to have it. That bat-family-detective inspired itch got me scratching until I dug into the credits. I vaguely remembered a buddy had a Batman Noir edition of something but didn’t confirm until today that I didn’t imagine it and it was the Noir edition of The Dark Knight Returns (which I guess is right at home for Frank Miller).

            The TDKR Noir was pretty cool too! I think color does a lot to sell the scope of the world, stories, uniforms, etc., but seeing just the pencils and ink makes the art really stand out in a different way.

        DC is a Warner Brothers property and they did a big DC/Looney Tunes crossover a while back.
