It’s a new week, and that can only mean that new stuff is on its way to your local comic shop, and I’ve gotta do a blog about it! Here’s what’s coming in comics and collectibles Wednesday, September 16! If you would like to see the full list of product coming this week, click here!
Batman HC Vol. 7 Endgame – DC Comics – $24.99
Universally acclaimed, the Batman series written by Scott Snyder and drawn by Greg Capullo has been a huge hit for DC since the New 52 ‘reboot’. In my opinion, the best way to experience this team’s Batman is through the hardcover collections. Volume 7 cover the “Endgame” storyline, starring the Joker, who pushes Batman – and himself – to the limit! If you haven’t read this yet, you will not believe where this story goes! Collects Batman #35-40!
Swamp Thing by Scott Snyder Deluxe Edition Hardcover – DC Comics – $49.99
Another winner from the beginnings of the New 52, here’s the omnibus you deserve! Collects Swamp Thing #0-18, Annual #1, and Animal Man #12 and #17!
No Mercy TP Vol. 1 – Image – $9.99
If you want to find a good place to start an Image series that has been running for longer than an arc, look no further than the trade paperback, where the first volume is typically around $9.99! This book is about a group of American teenagers trapped in remote Central America, where things go from bad to worse!

Star Wars #9 – Marvel – $3.99
It’s the hottest property out there right now, and Marvel’s doing it right! (Of course, Dark Horse was no slouch…) Han Solo’s ‘wife’ (..?) is appearing to attempt to collect the bounty out for Princess Leia! And Luke’s trying to track down his stolen lightsaber!

Honor #1 – Double Take – $2.50
It’s a Double Take book, you know what that means! This book looks to be about the judicial side of a zombie apocalypse. Well, maybe not from THIS particular viewpoint….

Yup, another Double Take book. What separates this from the others? It takes place in western Pennsylvania! Please don’t be Erie…please don’t be Erie….
