GEEK ALL TO ME

THE LATEST GAMING, COMICS & FILM NEWS

AS WE’RE all spending more time in the house right now, here are three new graphic novels to keep you entertained this week.

BATMAN: CREATURE OF THE NIGHT

ALMOST three years in the telling, the complete story is now available in one gorgeous book.

Bruce Wainwright, a comic book-reading kid obsessed with the Caped Crusader, loses his parents in a violent crime… and in the real world, no superheroes exist to save the day.

Bruce sees grief and rage build inside himself-until something strange starts taking place.

Something similar to the comics he’s been reading his whole life. As life begins to imitate art, will Bruce be able to live up to his fictional namesake?

■ Written by Kurt Busiek, with art by John Paul Leon, it’s out now priced £19.99.

CAPTAIN AMERICA – VOLUME 1

THIS new hardback brings together issues one to 12 from 2018’s acclaimed Black Panther scribe Ta-nehisi Coates’ Captain America run.

For more than 70 years, Captain America has stood in stalwart defence of his country and its people. But in the aftermath of Hydra’s brief takeover of the nation, Cap is a figure of controversy carrying a tarnished shield – and a new enemy is rising.

Distrusted by his own country and facing threats, Steve Rogers is a man out of time – and out of options.

■ With art by Leinel Francis Yu, it’s out now priced £29.50.

THE REJECTED: LONG IS THE WAY

GLORIOUS graphics combine with a twisted plot in this compelling tale.

The Rejected, in the search of the Unwilling, must travel back in time and to the very bowels of hell. Billy and Abigail take the lead, but the will of The Wicked Old One twists and torments The Rejected throughout the journey. Even Mr. Teeth must realise that there is a price to pay for everything.

■ Written by Stan Konopka, with art by Shawn Langley, it’s out now priced £5.50.
