Welcome to this weeks edition of New Comic Book Day. Mutant sorceress Magik (Illyana Rasputina) gets her own new ongoing series. Be sure to check out her devilish adventures in #1 of Magik, Vol. 2, published by Marvel Comics.
Over at DC Comics we witness the return of Arthur Curry in another new ongoing series for this week. As Aquaman he faces several colossal monsters from each of the seven seas in Aquaman, Vol. 9.
Let’s stay with DC Comics for now and check out Absolute Batman. Issue 4 is an origin issue, explaining everything from the tragic events of Bruce Wayne’s childhood to how he got to this point.
