Chewbacca #1 Sometimes you get what you wish for! At a Marvel Emerald City Comicon panel, I asked for a Chewie solo book even if the word balloons were just grunts and growls.

New Avengers #1 Hanging out on Avengers Island with a rebel team (Sunspot, Cannonball, Squirrel Girl, Wiccan, Hulkling, Hawkeye and Songbird) by Al Ewing and Gerardo Sandoval.

AMC premiered The Walking Dead Season Five trailer at San Diego Comic Con.

 

While zombies stalk the Earth, the biggest threat this season is from a rival community of survivors that may or may not be eating the living.

 

When we last left, most of the survivors and new cast members reunited at Terminus only to be corralled like cattle into a train car.

 

There are creepy scenes that suggest Rick and his survivor family will be tortured and possibly on the menu but there’s hints of an alliance.

 

Who will survive to continue the trek to Washington, D.C. and the hope to find a cure?
