Comics for Your Pull Box, Week of July 11th, 2018: Superman Begins Anew
Wednesday draws near, and that means it's time for another installment of Comics for Your Pull Box. We have a ton of major releases this week, but here at Bleeding Cool we are going to try and narrow it down to the absolute must-haves and must-tries. Here is the link to the full Comic List catalog. Let's get started.
Relay #1
Set in a future world where humanity has spread across the stars and spreading their culture through the Relay. The Relay homogenizes all cultures it comes into contact with and is the center of a religion based around its creator, Hank Donaldson. Jad Carter is a law enforcement officer and an evangelist for the Relay. I've actually already read and reviewed this one, and it's interesting. It comes courtesy of writer Zac Thompson and artist Andy Clarke, and it was created by Thompson, Eric Bromberg, and Donny Cates.
Nu Way #1
J.T. Krul and Alex Konat bring you this future sci-fi tale about wealth disparity and cybernetic enhancement. Zihao is an arena fighter taking on the most dangerous of cybernetic warriors in the hopes of achieving a better life. Nu Way was created by Krul, Yuyan Song, and Dinna Wu.
Coda #3
Hum returns to Ridgetown to regain some of the last vestiges of magic, but it's under attack by Thundervale, a mobile city pushed by a giant.
Mech Cadet Yu #10
The Shargs are reaching Earth, and the Hero Force 2, a weapon powered by other Mechs' very brains. Yu's own Mech offered to sacrifice its own brain and just left Yu behind.

Our mother and son duo think they've escaped death at the hands of the aliens, but danger has followed them onto the escape ship.
She Could Fly #1
A woman streaks across the skies of Chicago before dying in a sudden explosion. Luna, a 15-year-old girl who witnessed the event, wants to know everything possible about this woman. This one comes courtesy of Christopher Cantwell and Martin Morazzo and Dark Horse's Berger Books imprint.
Batman: Detective Comics #984
The new partnership between Batman and Black Lightning is threatened by a secret the Dark Knight is keeping from Jefferson. The Outsiders are coming.

The Green Lantern Corps are pinned down by the Darkstars, and their only hope lies in Orion, Arkillo, Hector Hammond, and General Zod.
Hawkman #2
Hawkman's past comes back to haunt him when an old foe begins to hunt the Winged Warrior once again. Hawkman is back, the book is awesome, and I'm so frigging happy about it.
Plastic Man #2
Plastic Man is still investigating his past, but a secret organization is blackmailing him into helping them. Worse yet, his secret identity has gotten out to a few people who weren't meant to know.
Superman #1
Brian Michael Bendis and Ivan Reis's tenure on Superman begins in earnest with the Man of Steel looking for new ways that Superman can help the world… once he pries it out of the Phantom Zone.

Outpost Zero #1
Outpost Zero is a expeditionary base across the universe on a dangerous world where humans cannot live for long outside the outpost. This is another interesting one I was able to read and review not too long ago. Sean McKeever, Jean-Francois Beaulieu, and Alexandre Tegenkgi bring you this new Image series.

Betty is the only one left to battle against the reality wizard. All of everything is at stake in this battle.
