A bit late whoops, but we still out here!
Last week's poll saw Gideon Falls win narrowly, making it 5 out of 5 so far for the new series! Loving the amount of series that scrounged a vote or two though!
This week a bunch of big stuff happened, let's talk about those: Descender reached its series finale on Wednesday, but it isn't really over yet! Soon the series will jump ahead in time, presenting a more fantasy-oriented take on the sci-fi origin - it'll be called Ascender, and the initial cover looks gorgeous. Secondly, Saga had a massive issue that I think came a bit out of the blue for everyone? The series is also going on a longer hiatus than usual, but it'll be back for sure.
Gasolina moves its setting to a new location this week (but the past will surely haunt our protagonists), as does Hit-Girl - who's moving to Canada!
Moonshine wraps up its current storyline and will be gone for at least 3 months, Realm is all about a rescue mission this week, Savage Dragon has a day out for the kids characters, and Shanghai Red begins a tale of revenge.
New this week is New World, about America after a second Civil War. Let's just quote the flavour text here: "Two lovers meet. One: a straight-edge vegan hacker anarchist boy with a penchant for messing with the State. The other: a chaotic, hedonistic cop with a reality TV show and a license to kill."
Yup, you guessed it, Ales Kot is writing this! He's working with great people too, Tradd & Heather Moore, Clayton Cowles, and Tom Mueller is back on design.
The first issue comes oversized and with back-up strips too.
