Star Wars Omnibus: The Other Sons of Tatooine

Tatooine -- it's been said that if there is a bright center to the universe, this is the planet that it's farthest from. Jawas and Tusken Raiders prowl the deserts, and gangsters rule the spaceport towns... and if you're young and bright and want a future away from endless sand and moisture farms, you'll take just about any ticket off-planet you can find. That's exactly what Biggs Darklighter did when he signed on with the Rebellion... and that's also what his friend Tank Sunber did when he joined the Imperial Army. These are the very different untold stories of two of Luke Skywalker's greatest childhood friends -- the other Sons of Tatooine!

Dark Horse Comics delivers another budget-friendly 440-page addition to your graphic novel shelf with the new Star Wars Omnibus: The Other Sons of Tatooine, available Wednesday March 21 at Curious Comics!

Amazing Spider-Man #682

Otto Octavius is not the man he once was. Worn down by years spent on the run and frequent losses in his confrontations with super-heroes, his body is giving out... but Otto is not ready to give up the ghost just yet. Augmenting himself with even more cyborg technology, he has added additional robotic arms to his frame and connected his mind to an army of semi-autonomous Octobots. He has ramped up his criminal activities, and now commands a virtual army of super-villains. Now, the preparations have been made... the pieces are in place... and the final stage in the most ambitious plot of his life is about to begin. Whatever else happens, one thing is certain: the world will never forget the name of Otto Octavius -- the one and only Doctor Octopus!

Don't miss the beginning of The Ends of the Earth -- a Doctor Octopus epic years in the making, and one of the greatest challenges your friendly neighbourhood wall-crawler will ever face -- when Amazing Spider-Man #682 goes on sale Wednesday March 21 at Curious Comics!

Ghostbusters Volume One

Pesky poltergeists swipe your car keys again? Tired of finding ectoplasm in your shoes every morning? Did your real estate agent sell you a house built on a graveyard without telling you? If you answered 'yes', 'maybe' or 'pass' to any of these questions, then Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore may be the pest control professionals for you! Separately, they might be borderline unemployable kooks with questionable academic credentials... but put them together and give them a bunch of unlicensed nuclear accelerators, and they're the Ghostbusters!

Look for Ghostbusters Volume One TP -- ably illustrated by Victoria's own talented Dan Schoening -- on the shelf now at Curious Comics!

Batman & Robin #7

Since Damian Wayne left the League of Assassins to join his vigilante father and claim the mantle of Robin, there has been a lot of tension in the Batcave. Damian has never really been able to buy into Bruce's non-lethal approach to crimefighting, and now a figure from Batman's past has stepped forward to shake Damian's confidence even more. The killer known as Nobody has come to Gotham on a mission that takes him right to the heart of the Bat-family... and he has found the weakest link in Damian. This is a brutal battle that will leave the Dynamic Duo beaten, battered and shaken to the core -- if they manage to survive!

The epic confrontation between Batman and Nobody -- as Robin's future hangs in the balance -- rushes toward its conclusion with Batman & Robin #7, out now at Curious Comics!

Avengers: The Children's Crusade Hardcover

When the Scarlet Witch used her reality-warping powers to wipe all but a few mutants from the face of the Earth, the world was changed forever. Wanda Maximoff disappeared after the fall of the House of M, but no one forgot about her... and some never stopped looking for her. Among these were the Avengers, hoping to locate a fallen comrade -- and the X-Men, looking to bring the woman responsible for the sudden decimation of their species to justice. But as two of the Young Avengers seek answers to their own mysterious past, they discover very personal reasons for finding the Scarlet Witch. Are Wiccan and Speed really Wanda Maximoff's long-lost children -- and will their search for answers spark a war between the Avengers and the X-Men?

The complete best-selling miniseries featuring the long-awaited return of the Scarlet Witch comes to your bookshelf in the Avengers: The Children's Crusade Hardcover, out now at Curious Comics!
