As the calendar flips to March, comic book fans get ready – five days of new releases await! With so many thrilling titles dropping in such a short time span, navigating through it all can be dizzying. To help guide you on your journey into comics this month we've curated some must-read picks that'll promise magical escapism like The Neighbors #1, Clear #1, Red Zone #1 - plus a few more.
Of course, there are many on-going books that have release dates in March, but we are focusing on new series releases. Most of our selections come from independent publishers, but you may also see books from Marvel and DC Comics as well. This list is also subjective to what we are interested in reading.
Lastly, release dates are always subject to change due many different reasons. We will do our best to update this list as we are made aware of these changes.
MARCH 29
Don’t Spit In The Wind #1 (Mad Cave Studios)
(W) Stefano Cardoselli // (A) Stefano Cardoselli
One man’s trash is another man’s living. Since earth became inhospitable, humanity escaped ages ago to live in a space station floating above the atmosphere. Now Travis and his crew of garbage men are tasked with cleaning up mountains of toxic waste, working for a company called Atomic Bros INC., to create a “Clear World.” But when one of Travis’ crew members goes missing near an old nuclear facility Travis’ job becomes a bit more complicated.
Stefano Cardoselli chatted with Capes and Tights recently to discuss Don’t Spit in the Wind.
Dungeons & Dragons: Saturday Morning Adventures #1 (IDW)
(W) Sam Maggs, David M. Booher // (A) George Kambadais
Long before the world turned upside down and new generations discovered D&D, six kids boarded a magical roller coaster and were transported to the Forgotten Realms! Noble ranger Hank, intrepid acrobat Diana, quiet thief Sheila, impulsive barbarian Bobby, fearful cavalier Eric, and uncertain magician Presto only want to get back to their own world. But escaping the Realms has turned out to be much harder than getting there!
Danger lurks at every turn, the enigmatic Dungeon Master is less than helpful, and Venger, the force of evil, will stop at nothing to get his hands on the magical weapons the kids have come to rely on. To top it off, Hank has made a startling discovery: Despite the dangers, Sheila, Bobby, Diana, and the others aren’t so sure they want to go home after all!
