2015 has begun, and an entire year of comics is ahead of us! Already it’s clear\u00a0there will be many old favorites to enjoy\u00a0 and\u00a0new discoveries to be made. Obviously we\u2019re excited for new issues of Biowars<\/a> in the new year, but over the next couple of weeks, we\u2019ll take a look at some of the other titles\u00a0we can’t wait to get our hands on.<\/p>\n

Star Wars #1 (Marvel, January 14)<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re finally about to see the results of Star Wars\u2019 move<\/a> to Marvel, which was announced<\/a> at San Diego Comic-Con last July. Star Wars<\/em> will follow Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia in the period immediately after Episode IV: A New Hope<\/em>. Darth Vader will get his own\u00a0series of comics, in which he tries to recover from the (spoiler alert) Death Star debacle in Episode IV. Finally, five-part mini-series Star Wars: Princess Leia<\/em> will also debut this year. As you might expect, the three comics will feature interrelated plot lines.<\/p>\n

Multiversity: Mastermen #1 (DC, February 18)<\/h3>\n

The DC multiverse contains a lot of Earths\u201452, to be precise. In Multiversity<\/em>, an acclaimed<\/a> series of one-shots, writer Grant Morrison took on the task of exploring the far reaches of that multiverse. Mastermen #1\u00a0<\/em>will\u00a0take us to Earth-10, and we’re being literal when we say it’s not an ideal world. With the help of a superweapon called Overman\u2014who looks suspiciously like a Superman who wound up in Germany instead of Smallville\u2014the Nazis won World War II and became the dominant force on Earth-10\u00a0for the next 60 years. Now they face the enigmatic Uncle Sam and a group of heroes known as the Freedom Fighters. The Multiversity experiment is fascinating not just for the comics it\u2019s producing, but for the way it\u2019s shaping our understanding of how the many worlds of DC fit together.<\/p>\n

Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 (Marvel, January 7)<\/h3>\n

If you like squirrels, the importance of this comic is self-evident. If not, here goes. First appearing in the Marvel universe in 1992, Squirrel Girl has all the powers of a squirrel, plus\u00a0a tail\u2014which she has to conceal\u00a0while she\u2019s taking college courses in computer science. When asked why he was excited about Squirrel Girl, writer Ryan North\u2014whose day job is the webcomic Dinosaur Comics<\/a>\u2014said<\/a>: \u201cI am excited to write scenes of her fighting crime with nuts.\u201d We can all agree that not enough crime is fought with nuts.<\/p>\n

The Dying and the Dead #1 (Image, January 28)<\/h3>\n

Writer Jonathan Hickman (Avengers, East of West) and artist Ryan Bodenheim come together for the first, 60-page installment of this series. Beginning with a murder at a wedding, The Dying and the Dead<\/em> features an ageing World War II veteran\u00a0who is\u00a0given the chance to rescue his wife from a slow death by cancer. In doing so, however, he\u00a0becomes caught up in a subterranean supernatural conflict. \u201cIt\u2019s Indiana Jones for Old People. There are no fedoras, only bedpans,\u201d says some of the promotional material<\/a>, but judging by the artwork<\/a>, that might be selling this comic\u00a0short.<\/p>\n

Feathers #1 (BOOM! Studios, January 7)<\/h3>\n

As the name might suggest, Feathers<\/em> is the story of a boy covered in feathers. He\u2019s not the most self-confident of heroes, and he has something of a mysterious past. It also doesn\u2019t help that he lives in the Maze, a vast slum full of gangs, kidnappers, and other miscreants. But when he meets a girl named Bianca, he makes a friend and finds a partner for adventures. BOOM! Studios turns 10 years old in 2015, and will celebrate<\/a> by publishing Feathers<\/em> and other new titles with 10 year anniversary covers.<\/p>\n
