Special care is given to each box. To keep the books from jostling about, Comic Bento has all books packed together in plastic with cardboard to keep everything straight.
Four books from different publishers. Comic Bento did well including some nice items to their offering this month.
Comic Bento includes a 2-sided card that gives you some insight into the books they sent. They also give some backstory as to why they chose the books within the subscription box. This month’s theme is “OLD SCHOOL.”
Comic Bento is great at providing variety while sticking to their theme.
The Avengers: Four – Marvel Comics $15.99 cover price. One of the most popular superhero groups going is the Avengers. It’s fun to read different iterations of this longtime group.
The Old Order Changeth – more than you ever suspected! For the first time ever, learn what really happened all those years ago when the founding Avengers turned their membership over to a set of new recruits. The recently thawed Captain America is joined by three reformed super villains – Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch – as a new group of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes takes shape! But when a stranger comes to New York, they may have to draft a new member to help them defeat him! It’s a new story of Cap’s Kooky Quartet that has direct ramifications for the Avengers of today!
Cinderella: Serial Killer Princess – Zenescope – $15.99 cover price. This sounds like it could be an interesting read. Zenescope loves putting scantily clad women in different kinds of stories. Lately it’s been odd re-tellings of Grimm Fairy Tales.
A loyal servant to the Dark Horde, Cindy, turned her back on it to help save the world. And all she got for her trouble was a brutal death. But sometimes those that die get a second chance and now Cindy is back with a thirst for blood. And once she’s had her revenge not a single hero in the Grimm Universe will be left alive.
Sovereign – Image Comics– $14.99 cover price. Image Comics started out attempting to create its own comic book universe but eventually transitioned into one of, if not the, destination for creator owned projects. Chris Roberson and Paul Maybury are able to get their project made with an excellent publisher.
- An epic fantasy in the tradition of Game of Thrones, Sovereign is set in a world which once knew gods, demons, and magic, and to which all three are returning. New York Times bestseller Chris Roberson joins artist Paul Maybury to tell the story of masked undertakers facing the undead with swords, of civil wars and cultures in collision, and of ancient threats emerging from the ashes of history to menace the future.
- Collects Sovereign #1-5, plus extras.
Kirby: Genesis: Captain Victory – Dynamite Entertainment – $19.99 cover price. Jack Kirby is known as the King and he is responsible for being the first to draw many of the well known comic book characters we know today. He also has created many characters and Captain Victory is one of those characters. I look forward to seeing what Dynamite Entertainment does with an iconic creator’s characters.
- It’s a great big universe, and the Galactic Rangers are the men and women who defend it! Jack Kiby’s legendary creation returns in this new series from Dynamite Entertainment!
- Kirby: Genesis — Captain Victory focuses on a diverse group of intergalactic lawmen who travel the cosmos, fighting against the forces hellbent on universe-wide domination. Lead by the mysterious warrior dubbed “Captain Victory,” the Rangers fight the scariest, strangest, and most terrifying monsters and mad men they can find. Unbeknownst to his own men, however, Captain Victory is harboring a terrible secret, the kind that could destroy not only the Galactic Rangers, but bring about the destruction of all of time and space!
Comic Bento is such an awesome value! All four of these books were packaged so well together and arrived in spectacular condition. As stated earlier, there is a theme but there’s also a ton of variety, and the theming of this box is pretty unique amongst comic subscriptions. The curator’s notes really bring the theme together, and that made this box even more awesome!
