NCBD week 13: 802 new variants for a total of 298 new issues

Variant hunters, get ready! We’ve got a SPECTACULAR amount of NEW SERIES premiering this week.

Hush is back! Batman, Vol. 3 #158 – or rather Batman #158 Hush 2 – not only reintroduces us to iconic characters, but also gives us the art of Jim Lee, Hush’s original artist. Prepare for a mysterious and action-filled story.

Vampirella is back in Vampirella, Vol. 8 and she’s bringing her infant son. Little does she know she’s indirectly responsible for a nuclear inferno waiting to happen somewhere in the near future. In order to prevent this she receives help from somebody unexpected.

And if you can’t get enough of Deadpool, then you definitely can’t go wrong with Pooluminati.
We all know the Illuminati supposedly is a highly secret organization, protecting Earth from evil forces and threatening menaces. Throw in a mix of ‘Pools, and the Merc with A Mouth and his daughter Ellie themselves, and you get a heart-warming story. Artwork by Todd Nauck!

So get ready for this massive list with big-name releases and plenty of cover options, making it the BIGGEST week of the year so far!

Happy Reading!
