Fresh comic books to check out in September, highlighted by the long-awaited Marvel/DC collaborative event spanning 22 years
In the world of graphic novels and miniseries, there are several exciting releases coming up that promise to captivate readers with their unique stories, stunning artwork, and exploration of diverse themes. Here's a rundown of some of the most anticipated titles:
The Last Day Of H.P. Lovecraft
Written by Romuald Giulivo and illustrated by Jakub Rebelka, this miniseries will be published by Boom! Studios on September 17. The art style shifts for each time period, tapping into the visual traditions of the respective eras. Rebelka's painted artwork takes readers to stunning hellscapes rooted in the aesthetics of German expressionism, as Lovecraft confronts the sins of his past while lying on his death bed.
More Weight: A Salem Story
Ben Wickey's graphic novel, published by Top Shelf, is an exhaustively researched examination of Salem over centuries, with the Salem witch trials as a central focus. Wickey spent 10 years drawing this masterpiece, and the work shows in the final product with strong graphic composition, expressive lettering, and immersive environments. Unlike The Last Day Of H.P. Lovecraft, More Weight: A Salem Story does not confront a character with the sins of their past.
Flip
Ngozi Ukazu's new graphic novel, to be published by First Second on September 23, is a body-swap fantasy that highlights the struggles faced by a young woman of color in a predominantly white environment. The story revolves around a shy Black teen who switches bodies with her popular white male crush.
Cannon
Lee Lai's new graphic novel, published by Drawn & Quarterly on September 9, is about a character named Cannon who juggles her restaurant job, caring for her ailing grandfather, and maintaining tense relationships with her best friend and mother. Cannon's internal feelings are brought to the surface through a flock of birds, adding a poetic touch to the narrative.
Marvel/DC: Deadpool/Batman
Marvel and DC are teaming up for a crossover titled Marvel/DC: Deadpool/Batman, with issue #1 being published by Marvel on September 17. This crossover features big-name creators across the main story and a slew of back-up tales featuring cross-publisher pairings. However, More Weight: A Salem Story is not a part of this crossover.
Each of these upcoming releases offers a unique perspective and promises to engage readers with its compelling narratives and stunning artwork. Whether you're a fan of body-swap fantasies, historical examinations, or crossovers, there's something for everyone in this lineup.
