Some extraterrestrials from Disney that aren't blue & furry. 

Honorable Mention Highlights: March 24, 2021
  • Lady Baltimore: The Witch Queens #1 (W: Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden; A: Bridgit Connell)
  • Alien #1 (W: Phillip Kennedy Johnson; A: Salvador Larroca)
  • Firefly: Brand New Verse #1 (W: Josh Lee Gordon; A: Fabiana Mascolo)

Lady Baltimore: The Witch Queens #1
You know, there's something about a new story from Mignola that just gets me all excited. If I had to pinpoint it, it's probably because they're ALWAYS good, and this one is - surprise! - no exception. Focused on some super badass ladies fighting super sketchy witches, plus one of our leads is constantly fighting time-period misogyny by, you know, being a badass. It's a good time, fast paced, and I could easily see it becoming a show on Netflix. Just saying. 

Alien #1

New publisher, who dis? Marvel's first dip into the classic Alien franchise takes a step away from dark sci-fi action and instead turns the focus on shady corporate secrets and extreme activism. We get more of a look at what Earth is like in this time period and are introduced to a few (not all human) new characters along the way.

Firefly: Brand New Verse #1

The recent run of Firefly comics have been excellent, and completely unafraid to pull away from the original cast to bring in new friends, new foes, and new fears. This one comes in MUCH later in the future, and appears that it's going to follow (shocker!) Zoe & Wash's daughter, Emma. If you've been hoping to jump into some of the new Firefly stuff, this could be a good starting point, but the vibe is definitely a little different from the previous run, and is a little more lighthearted and maybe silly at points. Definitely has potential to be a fun ride, though!
