GEEK TO ME

THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE COMIC WORLD

PUNCHLINE #1

DC’S newest character finally gets her own adventure this week, as Punchline #1 arrives.

This new series delivers an origin story for Alexis Kaye, explaining how she became supervillain Punchline – and stole the Joker’s heart.

Fans have been a bit resistant to Punchline, the main criticism being the Joker’s utter infatuation with her – feelings a man, who’s only interest in people is how he can use them, should seemingly be incapable of.

Whatever, this promises to be an interesting take on a fringe teenager’s radicalisation to the ideology of a madman.

Punchline #1 is out now priced £4.50.

THE RECOUNT #1

SOME beautifully timed publishing from Scout Comics, with its latest title The Recount.

It tells the tale of the US plunged into a civil war following the assassination of a dishonest President.

But the conspirators don’t stop there, turning their sights on all who helped him get into power – including the ordinary citizens who elected him.

Written by Jonathan Hedrick, with artwork by Gabriel Ibarra Nunez, The Recount #1 is out now priced £3.60.

POWER RANGERS #1

THE first print run of this Power

Rangers relaunch series sold out in a flash – and it’s not surprising.

This issue kicks off a brand new era for the original

Power Rangers, with Jason, Trini and Zack now known as the Omega Rangers.

There’s a new cosmic threat on the horizon, and the team’s best hope of defeating it is the Rangers’ sworn enemy, Lord Drakkon.

Written by the much-loved Ryan Parrott, with art by fan favourite Francesco Mortarino, Power Rangers #1 is out now priced £4.50.
