New Comics Collected Editions: Pinocchio: An Illuminated Edition, Sub-Mariner Epic Collection, Invincible Iron Man Omnibus Vol. 3

Our picks this week.

Prepare yourself for one of the most epic eras in the history of Namor, the Sub-Mariner! It’s a string of Marvel classics that have defined the Atlantean’s life forevermore. There are team-ups, gladiator battles, the return of Attuma and Prince Byrrah and the founding of the Titans Three (A.K.A. the Defenders to be). But the heart of the drama is Prince Namor’s and Lady Dorma’s wedding and the scheming Lemurian Llyra’s plans to destroy it all! In the aftermath, Namor is on a rampage, and in his pursuit of vengeance, he learns that his father — the long-thought-dead Captain Leonard McKenzie — is still alive! If that’s not enough, Namor, Doctor Doom and M.O.D.O.K. battle each other for the Cosmic Cube!

Collecting SUB-MARINER (1968) #28-49, DAREDEVIL (1964) #77 and material from KA-ZAR (1970) #1.

Mike Mignola (creator of HELLBOY) and Lemony Snicket (author of A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS) invent an entirely new vision of PINOCCHIO—a bizarre and riveting new adventure through a beloved tale.

An oversized slipcase art book elaborately illustrated by Mignola and extensively annotated by Snicket—in the form of inserted typewritten missives from the brink of madness. An old marionette given startling and charming new life in an edition like no other.

Carlo Collodi's classic stands as one of the strangest and darkest texts ever to be beloved by generations of children worldwide. Now, in this new Illuminated Edition from Beehive, it receives a full-text annotation from one of our great contemporary authors, and a vast suite of over fifty illustrations from one of the modern masters of illustration and visual storytelling. Together, Mignola and Snicket walk us through the wilds of Collodi's masterpiece and reintroduce us to its odd, wonderful music.

Snicket's annotations are presented on typewritten sheets, inserted by Snicket as his confrontation with Carlo Collodi's text drives him slowly mad. Across over one hundred annotations, and sixty two removable pages slipped in amongst Collodi's text, a parallel story of a writer’s journey through this great Italian fable unfolds. Snicket isn’t here to explain PINOCCHIO, or to give you historical context—he is encountering the text alongside you, speaking with it in the lyrical, hilarious, and poignantly insightful voice that makes him one of one of the great storytellers of our age. Mike Mignola's artwork populates Collodi's shadowed puppet-world with wonders, horrors, helpers, enigmas and everything in between, breathing new life into the charm, gloom and chaos of this beloved tale.

A stunning new entry in Beehive Books' celebrated, award-winning Illuminated Editions series, this volume is housed in a shimmering die-cut sculpturally embossed slipcase, printed on uncoated acid-free paper, and published in an oversized 9x12" trim format.

Welcome back to the classic adventures of Iron Man! In this Omnibus, a revolution in Latin America keeps Tony Stark on his toes while the Spymaster puts together an elite team with one objective: destroy Stark Industries! Then things take a turn for the extraordinary when visions of Iron Man's death torment Tony's ESP-empowered fiancée! Joined by the Guardsman, Iron Man must face a host of enemies - before an entirely new league of villain debuts in the historic first appearance of Thanos (not to mention Drax the Destroyer and Moondragon)! Finally, against the backdrop of an increasingly tense love triangle between Tony Stark, Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan, running a savage gauntlet from the Mandarin to Whiplash pushes Iron Man to the limit!

Collecting IRON MAN (1968) #26-67 and DAREDEVIL (1964) #73.
