Amazon Fishing For Marvel And DC In 2016

Let's have a look at some of the fun Marvel and DC collections comng your way courtesy of the everything store, Amazon…

And there are some real surprises. None more than this.

Marvel Frontier Comics: The Complete Collection

A forgotten gem from Marvel UK is uncovered, dusted off and collected in its entirety for the first time! Who is Bloodseed? And what is his mission in a barbarian world of talking pterodactyls, giant lizards and remnants of technology from a long-lost civilization? Something is haunting author Sam Wantling's dreams – could he be a Child of the Voyager? Will James Owl survive his dance with demons when he discovers that he is the heir to a great Native American spirit? CHILDREN OF THE VOYAGER 1-4, DANCES WITH DEMONS 1-4, MORTIGAN GOTH: IMMORTALIS 1-4, BLOODSEED 1-2, MARVEL FRONTIER COMICS UNLIMITED 1

This was basically the Marvel UK Epic line, creator participant comic books from people who would, well, go on to do bigger things. Including Nick Abadzis, Charlie Adlard, Mark Buckingham and Liam Sharp. A faked attempt to be Vertigo but a valiant attempt at that. But  massive surprise to be reprinted.

So what's next? Well with a certain film…

Batman vs. Superman

The must-own DC Comics collection to prepare for the upcoming cinematic blockbuster Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice!

The two most popular super-heroes of all time aren't always on the same side. Witness the battles through the ages when the Earth shook from the blows of these titans – Batman and Superman! This collections captures some of the most incredible and memorable clashes between the Man of Steel and The Dark Knight that sets the stage for the upcoming motion picture event that is Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot.

No idea what's actually in it, but a Batman #612 cover from the Loeb/Lee run on the comic may be a favourite. Will it contain Dark Knight as well?

We get a classic Daredevil run from and Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr...

Daredevil Epic Collection: A Touch of Typhoid

How do you solve a problem like Mary? That's Typhoid Mary, the lethally seductive assassin unleashed by the Kingpin in his campaign to break Matt Murdock.

When a mob hit killed his beloved wife and children, Frank Castle became the Punisher – an unstoppable one-man army waging war on every piece of criminal scum plaguing New York's streets.

Natasha Romanov has always led a life of adventure. First, she was a Soviet spy, fighting on the Cold War front line. She then defected to the West, eventually becoming a super hero and an Avenger.

Yelena Belova, the new Black Widow, seeks to claim the mantle she feels was stolen from her Motherland. BLACK WIDOW (1999) 1-3, BLACK WIDOW (2001) 1-3

Looks like we'll be getting two comics in one, with a common author, courtesy of Dan Jurgens and Superman & the Justice League America. A collection of Paul Dini's Harley and Ivy: The Deluxe Edition. With the success of Marshal Law at DC Comics, we get a collection for Metalzoic written by Pat Mills. And for those who remember were the Ms Marvel #1 cover came from, we get a collection of Supergirl by Peter David & Gary Frank. With Bat-Mite getting his own series, we have a collection of the Evan Dorkin Bat-Mite/Mr Mxyzptlk series, World's Funnest with artists including everyone from Frank Miller to Jamie Hernandez and lots of Ty Templeton.

But an even bigger surprise is the reissuing of the Wildstorm series Manifest Eternity by Scott Lobdell and Dustin Nguyen.

The story sets in the far future which an Earth-based empire had conquered and annexed the entire known universe. However, a magic-based empire from another realm saw their neighboring reality as a threat to their existence and declared an intergalatcic war between the two civilizations.

As well as some Dennis O'Neil work with Azrael Vol. 1 and Batman: Shaman

A possible point for Cassandra Cain returning to DC Comics with the Cassandra Cain: Batgirl Vol. 1 book from Kelly Pluckett. And to take advantage of some luterary respectability in latr days, we have Wild Dog: Unleashed by Max Allan Collins and Terry Beatty.

From the writer of ROAD TO PERDITION comes this epic of an ordinary man turned unhinged hero. Former Marine and college athlete Jack Wheeler transformed himself into the vigilante called Wild Dog after his fiance was murdered by a mobster. Based in the fictional midwestern Davenport City, he dons camouflage and a hockey mask and uses a submachine gun and electrified gloves to fight back against evil. Along the way, Wild Dog must protect the local Committee for Social Change from violence – but sometimes, the cure can be worse than the disease. Collects stories from ACTION COMICS WEEKLY #601-609, WILD DOG #1-4, and WILD DOG SPECIAL #1.

We also get the return of Bad Girls by Steve Vance and Jennifer Graves.

It's tough being the new girl in town. Starting over at a new school. Not having any friends. Especially when the popular girls all have super-powers!

Lauren is the new girl in the mall-and-beach town of San Narciso, CA. Even though this is her third high school in two years, she's determined to call this one home. But she quickly finds herself trying to navigate the minefield of the teenage social hierarchy! Should she hang with the outcasts or with a clique of super-powered popular girls? What mystery lies just beneath the school's brand-new walls? And through it all, what to wear? Collects Bad Girls #1-5

The violent and funny adventures of The Demon written by PREACHER co-creator Garth Ennis are collected for the first time. In these fast-paced, dark tales, the rhyming entity known as Etrigan the Demon, battles the Gothodaemon, the demon of Gotham City, with the help of Hitman. Then, a company of German soldiers from World War II are resurrected to capture an army base – and it's up to the Demon and the crew of the Haunted Tank to send them back to their graves. Collects THE DEMON #40-48 and THE DEMON ANNUAL #2.
