It’s not too late to discover a new favorite series!
Here are some second issues that were new this week:
HULK #2
HOW CAN YOU FIGHT THE MONSTER WHEN THE MONSTER IS YOURSELF? As JEN continues to struggle with the HULK (and anger) within herself, her newest client struggles with her own dark secrets. What happens when a terrified recluse is forced into the world against her will? When fear is pushed into the light? Can Jen reconcile the two halves of herself in time to help her client?
STAR TREK/GREEN LANTERN #2
STRANGER WORLDS PART TWO! With their power rings running low and no power batteries left to recharge them, the surviving heroes of the Lantern Corps join with Starfleet in the ultimate battle with Sinestro and the resurgent Klingons… until the arrival of an unexpected visitor from the Lanterns’ past changes the game entirely!
DEAD INSIDE #2
Linda Caruso is investigating the murder of an inmate in the Mariposa County Jail. With a short list of suspects who can’t escape, she thought it would be an easy case to solve. However, as new evidence comes to light, she only gets further from finding an answer.
Perfect for fans of crime and prison television, such as Law & Order, NCIS, Orange Is the New Black, American Crime Story, or Making a Murderer.
G.I. JOE #2
G.I. Joe’s mission in Mongolia gets underway, but the Dreadnoks and Crystal Ball have more allies than the Joes expect. And meanwhile, Lady Jaye and Gung Ho stumble upon a familiar enemy in Greece…
DIVINITY III: STALINVERSE #2
Cold world war! Welcome to the year 2017, where the Soviet Union has spent decades as the world’s reigning superpower and the Iron Curtain now encircles a planet riddled with war, strife, and oppression. Freedom is a thing of the past in the Stalinverse? So why can’t Russian intelligence officer Colin King shake the feeling that something has gone terribly wrong? He’ll put his freedom and life on the line to uncover the truth? Even if that means finding out whatever happened to the long-missing cosmonaut Abram Adams - the one man who just might hold the key to unraveling the dystopian world of today? This is no alternate reality? This is the Valiant Universe as we know it and, soon, New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (4001 A.D.) and blockbuster artist Trevor Hairsine (DIVINITY II) will lead Valiant’s event-level epic to the architect behind this new world order!

Is there a good reading guide for the Geoff Johns books in the Lantern Corps sale? Thinking about grabbing some but have no idea where to go after GL Rebirth.
There is a little debate about what is the best reading order, but this should help you navigate things after GL Rebirth, if you’re sticking to what’s in this sale that was written by Johns:
Secret Origin came out after Rebirth, but some like it as a sort of prequel to Rebirth. It gets into Hal Jordan’s backstory.
If you want to follow the run as-written, hold off on Secret Origin and read No Fear next, which collects #1-6.
Revenge of the Green Lanterns collects #7-13.
Wanted - Hal Jordan collects #14-20.
Sinestro Corps War collects #21-25.
Rage of the Red Lanterns comes next. The numbering gets a bit wonky here, but trust us, you’re on the right track. (If you want to read in strict issue number order, you’d want to read Secret Origin kind of in the middle of it.)
Agent Orange comes next, collecting #39-42.
Then we get to the Blackest Night event, which starts here.
Then back to Green Lantern. Here’s #43-52, Blackest Night: Green Lantern.
And of course you can’t have Blackest Night without Brightest Day (collects #53-62).
War of the Green Lanterns covers #63-67.
After this, you’ll want to read the three Brightest Day volumes, which are a sort of follow-up to Blackest Night.
Hope this helped!
It’s true, the Red Lanterns will never die.
Because they are awesome. Green Lanterns #4 by Sam Humphries @samhumphries, Ed Benes, Robson Rocha and Tom Derenick is new today from DC!
Well, there’s Justice League, Justice League of America, Justice League America, Justice League Europe, Justice League International, Justice League Extreme, Justice League Task Force, Justice League Dark, Justice League Elite, Justice League 3000…but I guess in theory there’s only one Justice League. I guess.
Anyway, Justice League and Justice League of America are on sale now.
RIP William Schallert, the most excellent character actor with just a few comic book related roles under his belt (Retired Man in the ill-fated DC Comedy Special Legends of the Superheroes, the voice of Appa Ali Apsa of the Guardians in Green Lantern: First Flight, Mr. Andrew’s in the 60′s version of Life With Archie, plus a small roles on Lois & Clark: The New Superman Adventures and the TV version of Milt Caniff’s Steve Canyon), but numerous memorable sci-fi and horror roles in films like The Man From Planet X, Them!, Gog, The Monolith Monsters and The Incredible Shrinking Man, as well as more modern classics like Joe Dante’s Gremlins, Innerspace and Matinee, and countless episodes of TV shows like Star Trek, the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Though best known for his genre work, and for his role as the dad on the Patty Duke show in the 1960′s, Schallert had scores of other significant film and TV roles under his belt, appearing in such classics as Singin’ in the Rain, Written on the WInd, In The Heat of The Night, The Jerk, Pillow Talk and Charley Varick. He was an institution as a character actor, a familiar face whose name you couldn’t always place, but the sight of whom in a movie meant it had at least one good thing going for it. He will be missed.
