(Alexander tipsar om vad som dyker upp på de amerikanska seriehyllorna i april 2023.)

Då är det deadline för månadens katalogbeställning och jag börjar med lite highlights från februari månads Marvelkatalog för släpp i april.

PLANET OF THE APES #1
Manus
: David F. Walker
Illustration: Dave Wachter
Förlag: Marvel Comics

A new era of apes kicks off with part 1 of ”Devolution”! The ALZ-113 virus has rampaged across planet Earth, and humanity is crumbling. While well-meaning researchers hunt for a cure, a fanatical group of humans has their own solution: Kill all apes. Peacekeeper Juliana Tobon is one of the few willing to stand against them, but the crisis is spreading, and soon apes will witness the true depths of human cruelty… Eisner-winning writer David F. Walker (Luke Cage, Bitter Root) joins forces with artist Dave Wachter (Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon, Star Wars: The High Republic – Trail of Shadows) on one of the most beloved sci-fi franchises in history!

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #1
Manus
: Collin Kelly och Jackson Lanzing
Illustration: Kev Walker
Förlag: Marvel Comics

WHO ARE THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY?
One year ago, the Guardians of the Galaxy were destroyed. Their optimistic future shattered by the betrayal of one of their own.

Manus
: Ron Marz
Illustration: Ron Lim
Förlag: Marvel Comics

Since then, Adam has gone on to be a cosmic savior, defending the galaxy from the likes of Thanos, the Universal Church of Truth and the Magus.

Don’t miss this untold story of Adam Warlock and the Infinity Watch as Ron Marz and Ron Lim (SILVER SURFER: REBIRTH) introduce a new character that will forever impact Warlock’s legacy!

ALIEN #1
Manus
: Declan Shalvey
Illustration: Andrea Broccardo
Förlag: Marvel Comics

SUPERSTARS DECLAN SHALVEY & Andrea Broccardo TAKE ALIEN TO BONE-CHILLING NEW DEPTHS!
Scientist Batya Zahn will do just about anything to get her family off the icy moon where they’ve been conducting research on water conservation. But there’s more than glacial springs to find in this forgotten corner of the galaxy. When they discover an extraordinary organism buried in the ice, it won’t take long for tensions to heat up.

STAR WARS: DARTH VADER – BLACK, WHITE AND RED #1
Manus
: Jason Aaron, Peach Momoko, Torunn Grønbekk
Illustration: Peach Momoko, m. fl.
Förlag: Marvel Comics

THE DARK LORD OF THE SITH LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE!
• Following the successful black, white and red series produced by Marvel Comics, DARTH VADER now takes the spotlight for tales of terror by some of the industries most talented creators!
• PEACH MOMOKO will spin a story only she can bring to life!
• PLUS, the return of JASON AARON to the world of STAR WARS with Part One of his Vader tale spanning all four issues!

Kommentar: Planet of the Apes flyttar nu från BOOM till Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy och Warlock gör comeback (kan det bero på den kommande filmen?), Alien startar ny numrering med nytt team på manus och teckning. Jag tycker verkligen det är trist att man inte kan ha fortlöpande numrering i dagsläget. Sedan har turen kommit till Darth Vader med en Black, White and Red.

Kommentar: History of the DC Universe släpps i HC och The Power of Shazam! vol. 2 kommer äntligen ut tre år efter vol. 1 som inte längre finns i tryck så ingen bra senergieffekt där.

The title story collects an epic that ran for over six months in newspapers, in which the Brothers, evicted from their apartment, move to the country to get back to nature – only to discover that nature doesn’t want them! Meanwhile, Fat Freddy’s Cat adapts much more readily to outdoor living. Then, in a bonus tale, the cat leads the way in the accidental animal rights adventure, ”Animal Camp.” Grass Roots and Other Follies is the third release in this special series of seven volumes compiling the complete Freak Brothers comic adventures.

WALT DISNEY’S SILLY SYMPHONIES 1932-1935 HC
Manus/Illustration: Flera
Förlag: Fantagraphics Books
Övrigt: 192 sidor/Hardcover

The wild adventures of the first Disney star created just for comics- and Donald Duck’s hilarious funny-page debut! 1932 saw the launch of Disney’s second-ever original comic strip, the full-color weekly Silly Symphonies, and with it came the debut of Bucky Bug, a daring, rhyming, mischievous squirt whose escapades took him from brutal birds of prey to the terrifying trenches of the Great Flyburg War! With his brave lady friend June and bumpkin pal Bo, Bucky even travels to a mixed-up Mother Goose Land… where a not-so-merry Old King Cole has mayhem on his mind! Now in this latest stand-alone Disney reprint collection, readers can follow all of Bucky’s adventures and the Symphonies Sunday sagas that followed, which also
includes Donald Duck’s debut as the barnyard’s spoilt brat in ”The Wise Little Hen”… and further tales of golden age Silly Symphony cartoon stars: egotistical Max Hare, slow-but-sure Toby Tortoise, and that awful bandit Dirty Bill (who ”never took a bath, and he never will!”).

PS ARTBOOK: PLASTIC MAN SOFTEE VOL. 2 
Manus/Illustration: Jack Cole
Förlag: PS Artbooks
Övrigt: 208 sidor/Softcover/släpps i juli 2023

Kommentar: Missade man Moorcocks Multiverse när DC gav ut den får man en ny chans från Titan Books. Från Ahoy kommer vol. 3 av Second Coming med Trinity. Från Drawn & Quarterly kommer äntligen Palookaville vol. 24 av Seth. Fantagraphics släpper tredje delen av sju med Freak Brothers och även Walt Disneys Silly Symphonies 1932-1935 känns intressant men den får man leta efter på annat håll då Disney har exportförbud till Europa från USA via Diamond. Allra sist blir Plastic Man vol. 2 i SC från PS Artbooks ett måste.
