29-10-25 | November is going to be a great month for crazy crossovers and gut-wrenching graphic novels. Of particular interest are the exploits of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not only will they come face to face with Godzilla, they will also shatter their own multiverse to team up with Turtles from every imaginable corner of their media franchise. Why do we keep falling for these silly premises? Because they’re so much FUN! That’s why! Yahoooo!
DC K.O. : KNIGHTFIGHT #1
The DC Heroes have to reluctantly battle each other for dominion over the Earth. An epic 24 part story arc with a crazy premise, but hey … why not?! This Batman themed issue will peak your interest. See Bruce Wayne battle future incarnations of the Dark Knight, such as Dick Grayson and his son Damian.
ORDAINED #1
Wait … hear me out. Yes, Ordained is about a Navy SEAL who turned to priesthood after finding God. And yes, he’s forced to kick some ass after getting involved with the Irish mafia. But it’s much more than that. Artists Venditti and Hairsine, from Bad Idea Comics, refuse to turn Ordained into parody.
