Saga #1 is Out!

Brian K. Vaughan (Runaways, Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, Pride of Baghdad, Lost) has a new series. Buy it. Review below.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our U Street store to meet Dan Piraro, who was game despite his trip on a redeye flight from the west coast! We had a nice turnout and Dan had a good time before his standup comedy show. We have signed copies of his Bizarro Heroes book if you weren't able to make it.

Feel free to forward on our newsletter, and please send us any comments or mailing list requests to vienna@bigplanetcomics.com

Thanks!

UPCOMING April 3 - Avengers vs. X-Men #1 Early Release Party

Marvel is calling it their biggest event yet, building on the last 10 years of storytelling, but really, who doesn't just want to see the superheroes throw down against each other? We will be having a special release party for Avengers vs. X-Men #1 one day early, on Tuesday April 3! So not only will you be able to buy AVX #1 a day early, but you will have access to some other specials, including limited variant covers, and other limited items, like a pin to show your allegiance to either the X-Men or the Avengers, so start thinking now about which team you support! Poor Wolverine, he's got to fight himself.

X-Men: Season One HC

by Dennis Hopeless and Jamie McKelvie

A retelling of the formation of the uncanny X-Men, as Jean Grey is recruited and meets Iceman, Angel, Beast, and Cyclops! A dramatic update that references all their classic early adventures while building on the drama and tension at the heart of the team and their mentor, Charles Xavier. Plus great art by the artist of Phonogram! 

Saucer Country #1

by Paul Cornell and Ryan Kelly

Governor Alvarado wants to run for president of the United States, despite the facts that she is Mexican-American, a divorcee, and her drunk ex-husband may have abused her. But she wants to reform immigration and the budget, and somehow deal with the fact she was abducted by aliens, who might be getting ready to invade! Strange and compelling.
