Welcome back! For new readers welcome to my column, The Comic Stash: February Edition. Here I go over titles that are worth your time. Do not forget that this month is also Valentine’s Day, so if you have a special someone that collects comics grab them some of the following titles as a gift. But no matter what do, do not forget the flowers and candy this February 14! I do enjoy going over the catalog each month and reading what will be coming out by certain artist, writers, and subject. I never try to take away anything from all the other great titles out there, these are just ones that stand out.
Week One: February 2, 2022
Let’s get The Comic Stash: February Edition started! From Image Comics comes one of my favorite titles, Nocterra #7 by Scott Snyder with art by Tony S. Daniel. The future is dark and the main characters Val, Bailey, and the Ferrymen are now trying to bring back the light to the world. But they have a ton of obstacles in the way one of them is called Blacktop Bill. This story is great along with amazing art to bring it all together.
Image also has a one-shot called 80-page Giant Geiger, featuring more stories of fan favorite story Geiger. This issue has a talented team of writers, and artist to give us more stories of characters from this series.
A new series from Image is New Masters #1 by Shobo Coker with art by Shof Coker. This story focuses on West Africa as the people there are under controlled by aliens and have to find a way to free themselves.
Dynamite has a treat for Red Sonja fans in the form of, Red Sonja Valentine’s Day Special 2022, by Chuck Brown with art by Lee Ferguson.
Marvel Comics has a new title coming out this week, Sabertooth #1 by Victor LaValle with art by Leonard Kirk. If you do not know who this villain is then you do not read Marvel Comics, because he is just a monster of a character.
Marvel also have another new title, Savage Spider-Man #1 by Joe Kelly with art by Gerardo Sandoval. This series is promising to have a new outlook and strange adventure for Peter Parker, hopefully not like the Nonstop Spider-Man series that is not put together very well.
DC Comics has a new series with the title Monkey Prince #1 by Gene Luen Yank with art by Bernard Chang. This new character in the DCU should be interesting and we get more of this character’s backstory.
The last book to check out is from Behemoth Comics, Until My Knuckles Bleed #1 with story and art by Victor Santos. The last series Victor Santos did was Polar that was also a movie on Netflix with the same name for the title. This story focus on a jobless hero doing what he must do to make it in this world.
