Ssalefish GSO First Look #292 for 292 for 12.7.22
Back in business with a normal full week of new releases on Wednesday, headlined by Dark Web #1, the kickoff for the Amazing Spider-Man & X-Men crossover that will carry over into 2023, Miles Morales Spider-Man #1, building excitement for next year’s Into the Spider-Verse sequel, and the Thanos Death Notes one-shot that calls back to Donny Cates’s run on Thor!
That said, it’s been a while since I’ve done any personal recommendations, so I’ll say with all sincerity that I can’t recommend The Menu, in theaters now, enough! As someone with a store whose bread & butter is franchises and blockbuster buzz, I should be more excited about Thor Love & Thunder or Black Adam, but as someone’s that’s gone to the theater about 18 times this year thanks to the Regal Unlimited pass, this, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and B.J. Novak (Ryan from The Office)’s theatrical directorial debut Vengeance were the best things I’ve seen. I guess it goes to the sentiment that I hear from a lot of you guys that are enjoying original ideas from Fantagraphics, Image, Boom, Aftershock, etc. more than the Big Two!
The following titles are scheduled to ship on Wednesday, December 7th (Tuesday, December 6th for DC) excluding some re-orders and providing nothing changes by the time the final invoice arrives on Monday:
