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 8
Clear #1 (Dark Horse Comics)
(W) Scott Snyder // (A) Francis Manapul
In the not-too-distant future, mankind no longer sees the world as it truly is. The invention of neurological filters has made it so one can view reality however they may choose-old Hollywood monochrome, zombie apocalypse, anime . . . the possibilities are endless. Neo-shamus Sam Dunes is one of only a handful who choose to live without a filter. When the death of an old flame reveals foul play, Dunes is set on a wild and twisting mystery that will take him from the city’s deadly underworld to the even deadlier heights of wealth and power.
Clear is a new series by Scott Snyder and Francis Manapul! From the Comixology Originals series.
Ridgeline #1 (AfterShock Comics)
(W) P.J. Taegal // (A) Roberta Ingranata
Jack and Janie Sparks, a father and daughter team of wilderness survival guides, are hired to lead a fractious executive team on a grueling “primitive” on a remote Montana mountain. Little do they know their client has enemies – enemies who find the isolated retreat to be the perfect opportunity to strike. Will Janie and Jack’s survival skills be enough to keep the pampered techies – and themselves – alive?
Ridgeline is a pulpy, violent action-adventure written by P.J. Taegal (Vandal, The 2nd) and illustrated by Roberta Ingranata (Doctor Who, Witchblade, Red Mother, Tales of Bunny Mask) that will knock you out!
