July's Donny-Approved Series:
DC's Grayson
DC's New Suicide Squad
Marvel's Deadpool: Dracula's Gauntlet
Marvel's Deadpool Vs. X-Force
Biggest Storylines:Dark Horse Comics: Conan Vs. Groo!?!?
It had to happen: Comics' two greatest (err..Kinda?) barbarians together at last!
The most heroic warrior in history meets the stupidest as Robert E. Howard’s immortal Conan the Barbarian crosses swords with Sergio Aragonés’s Groo the Wanderer in Groo vs. Conan #1. This four-issue miniseries was concocted by Mark Evanier and Sergio Aragonés, aided by illustrator Thomas Yeates and colorist Tom Luth. Will Conan annihilate Groo? Will Groo turn out to be the man who can defeat Conan? We’ll see. I do have a feeling however that Groo will be the focal point of the story... After all it is renown Groo scribe Mark Evanier taking the reigns on what is currently scheduled to be a 4 issue mini series
DC Comics: Change of scenery for Robin
In July we have a lot of changes to the Robin's we knew... In the events of Forever Evil, Nightwing was ousted as Dick Grayson so Dick does the only thing he can do... Become a spy. That's right. Nightwing is over but hello Grayson, the new monthly series from Tim Seeley. We also get a relaunched Teen Titans book starring Tim Drake's Red Robin and the one-shot "Robin Rises: Omega" promises that the hunt for Robin is over... And with Batman and... going back to it's original name Batman and Robin for July's issue #33 I tend to believe it. As an extra bonus Damian Wayne is one of 3 featured characters in this months issue of Secret Origins. So as I said... A lot of Robin going ons this month. None more important than discovering who the new (possibly old, who knows?) Robin is. My gut tells me Damian is coming back, but I'd like to see a new Robin personally.
IDW Publishing: Walter Simonson's Ragnarok (minus umlat)
Walter Simonson returns to comics in a BIG way with an all-new series… and doing what he does best!! He's one of the most acclaimed and respected creators in comics. He has done defining runs on Thor, Manhunter, Star Slammers, Elric, Orion and more. Now, in his first creator-owned series in 20 years, he brings his tremendous artistic arsenal to a brand new world… the twilight world of Ragnarök! Ragnarök…the Twilight of the Gods in Norse mythology…the destruction of the Nine Worlds. And now, three hundred years later, the birth of vengeance.
"My wife and my children are dead. My brothers and sisters are dead. My parents are dead. The Great Enemies still live. But I swear on the shattered bones of my kinsmen… they will not live forever. I shall become… the storm"
Image Comics: New Rick Remender Series!!You'll remember last month I talked fondly about Scott Snyder's The Wake ending, well go figure when one sea faring fantasy book ends another one is right there to pick up the slack. And this is no carbon copy reproduction, no sir, this is a brand new ongoing from Rick Remender! In the far distant future, the sun’s premature expansion has irradiated Earth, sending humanity to the lowest depths of the seas, hidden within radiation-shielded cities, while probes scour the universe for inhabitable worlds to relocate to. After tens of thousands of years, a single probe returns, crashing on Earth’s surface, a now-alien place no human has seen for many millennia. Frequent collaborators Rick Remender (Black Science, Uncanny Avengers) and Gred Tocchini (Last Days of American Crime, Uncanny X-Force) dive into an aquatic sci-fi/fantasy tale following two teams from the last remaining cities undersea as they race to the most unexpected alien world of all—the surface of Earth. This special introductory issue features 30 full pages of painted art!
Marvel Comics: Guardians Of The Galaxy overload
Ahead of the Guardians hitting the movie theatres in August, Marvel has upped there game releasing 3 new Guardian titles this month on top of the regular Guardians ongoing but also giving us special Guardians Of The Galaxy variant covers for all our favourite Marvel titles. Firstly is Guaradians Of The Galaxy: Galaxy's Most Wanted which pairs everyone's favourite bounty hunters in Groot and Rocket Raccoon. Speaking of Rocket he's also getting his own title, written and drawn by Marvel Baby expert Scottie Young. The other title is The Legendary Star Lord, his first solo series to go along with his first movie role. Marvel oftentimes puts giant pushes on it's titles they'll be doing big screen adaptations of, but I'm a little surprised that they didn't start this sooner so fans can get acquainted with Drax, Rocket, Star Lord and all the others.
Other top titles:Image Comics' Spread

And if he can save her, he might save the world.
