JIM HENSON: LABYRINTH UNDER SPELL #1

MORE than 30 years since its release, the magic world of Labyrinth still holds us under its spell.

This new release is the first part in a 12-issue series telling new stories from Jim Henson’s mythical realm.

Writer SM Vidaurri shines a light on favourite characters, introduces new creatures to the canon and builds on the everexpand­ing world Henson created.

Among the untold stories will be the history of Sir Didymus, and his vow to guard the bridge over the Bog of Eternal Stench.

With stunning artwork by Sarah Webb, Labyrinth Under Spell #1 is out now, priced £6.75.

ROBOCOP: CITIZENS ARREST

IT may be 31 years old, but the story of a man-turned-supercop still resonates.

This trade paperback is a collection of this year’s five-part mini series which saw Alex Murphy taking on a new-look OCP.

Set 30 years after the original film, this tells the story of what happens when law enforcemen­t is set aside, and all citizens are encouraged, and rewarded, for spying on their neighbours.

With Robocop now replaced with the app – R/Cop – the ruins of old Detroit are still at the mercy of gangs and thugs. But OCP has plans to change all that.

Dark, comedic and scarily relevant, Robocop: Citizens Arrest is out now, priced £14.99

WARNING #1

THE invasion has begun in this new series from Image

Comics.

With the arrival of another-worldly machine on Earth, a multinatio­nal combat brigade called Gladiator Two-Six is deployed.

With no idea who ‘they’ are, or what ‘they’ want, Gladiator Two-Six is equipped with nextgenera­tion military science and weapons to stop any extraterre­strial threats.

The gritty storyline is grounded, making the comic read more like a war story than a sci-fi tale of alien invasion.

With words and art by Edward Laroche, Warning #1 is out now priced £3.35.
