Digital Comics Store Update 12th May 2010

Hello again! Mr. Stott will be back on blog duty next week, until then here is what we have for you today.

Did you like the first two volumes of Atomic Robo? If so you’re in luck – Volume 3 starts this week. We’re transported back to the roaring 20s’ New York, where a chilling message from the past comes to disturb Atomic Robo’s quiet night in… There’ll be some work to do!

Down in Washington, DC, it’s another dark force that threatens the world as we know it… The mysterious Thrum is at centre stage in the new IDW series Garters and Ghouls. And, yes, it is based on the game we all know and love! Make sure you give this one a try.

The Immortal Iron Fist also returns this week. Bei Bang-Wen is back from what looked like a certain death – well, someone had to honour that Immortal title after all! The beautifully rendered tales continue…

Now, did someone say they wanted more Transformers Spotlight? Because that’s what we have this week – focusing on the mighty Prowl… Read this and see Prowl from a whole new perspective.

Last but not least, we thought we would highlight the Flying Friar, the new Markosia graphic novel. This lengthy tale blends in superheroes, the religious 17th century, and a true story with a few twists… That’s a one-off. Featuring script extracts, sketches and location reports.
