New in Comics: Ghostbusters #1, Uncanny X-Men #1, and More

A few choice selections from the comics due out February 13th:

Ghostbusters #1
IDW

Description: The Ghostbusters are gone, spirited away by some dastardly demons from another dimension! But spectral shenanigans haven't ceased in the city that never sleeps, meaning a new group will need to step up and don the proton packs.

Will the New Ghostbusters be able to rescue their predecessors, or will they share the same fate?

The Ghostbusters creative super-team of Erik Burnham and Dan Schoening return to bust out more ectoplasmic excitement in this all-new Ghostbusters ongoing volume!

By: Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening


Uncanny X-Men #1
Marvel Comics

Description: The true flagship book of the X-Men returns. In the wake of the Phoenix, the world has changed and is torn on exactly what Cyclops and his team of X-Men are--visionary revolutionaries or dangerous terrorists?

Whatever the truth, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magneto, and Magik are out in the world gathering up new mutants and redefining the name UNCANNY X-MEN.

By: Brian Michael Bendis, Chris Bachalo


Powers Bureau #1
Marvel Comics

Description: A new chapter of the Eisner Award-winning POWERS that sends Deena Pilgrim into the big leagues!

Pilgrim is now a federal agent and dealing with the biggest powers cases in the entire country. But will this new life close the closet full of skeletons she carries with her? (Absolutely not!) And what does this mean for her old partner, Walker?

This is a bold game-changer for the iconic crime superhero comic that started it all and an amazing jumping-on point for new readers!

By: Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Avon Oeming


Red Sonja Unchained #1 (of 4)
Dynamite Entertainment

Description: Picking up where Peter V. Brett's Red Sonja: Blue one-shot left off, with Sonja fleeing the scene of a murder after killing a young man who tried to test her vow. Bereft of her signature chain-mail and the reputation that goes with it, she must rely on her wits and her sword as she embarks on a new series of adventures. Guilt-ridden, penniless and on the run, she is unaware that the innocent blood she spilled has awakened the dark spirit of the demon whose pelt she wears.

By: Peter Brett, Jack Jadson, Mel Rubi



Planet of the Apes Special #1
Boom! Studios

Description: Daryl Gregory returns to the PLANET OF THE APES in this epic over-sized issue, featuring fan-favorite artist Diego Barreto (IRREDEEMABLE)! Featuring 32 pages of new story and art!

When the Lawgiver, the revered ape leader, was assassinated by a human, Ape City fell into a vicious civil war. Ten years have passed since the horrific violence fell on Ape City and a fragile peace is finding footing. Voice Alaya, once the revered leader of the ape ruling class, has been deposed and awaits sentencing in Ape City's prison; meanwhile Sully, the exiled leader of the human resistance has begun to rally forces, both human and ape. Little do they know they're both on a collision course towards an even greater danger neither can even begin to imagine...

Called 'The best PLANET OF THE APES comic ever. And one of my favorite comics of the year, period.' by Jason Aaron (SCALPED, WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN), Daryl Gregory's epic continues!

By: Daryl Gregory, Diego Barreto, Marek Oleksicki
