Employees of the St. Petersburg comic book store "Twenty-eighth" shared with the readers of Lifehacker a selection of brand new comics that have just been published and which every fan of drawn stories must read.

1. Vision

Vision is a robot weapon that was created by the evil Ultron to fight its creators Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne. This story is familiar to many thanks to the series of films "The Avengers". In this issue, Vision creates a family for herself - a spouse and two children, so as not to be lonely and live an ordinary human life. What will come of this venture? And are the Visions as normal as they would like?

The sad and dramatic story of a family of robots from screenwriter Tom King is drawn by a duo of talented artists - Gabriel Hernandez Valta and Geordie Bellair.

2. Strongman and Iron Fist

Luke Cage and Danny Reid are superpowered best friends. They are the founders and members of the Heroes for Hire team, created to help New Yorkers in trouble. In this plot, the guys, already tied with heroism, are forced to put on their costumes again when the life of their friend is in danger, and black magic comes into play.

Recently finished watching the Netflix series about Luke Cage with Mike Colter? Well, acquaintance with this huge black guy can be extended by reading the comic series about Strongman and Fist.

3. Daredevil

Daredevil is familiar, if not all, then many, thanks to the role played by Ben Affleck in the 2003 film of the same name and the acclaimed Netflix series last year.

In the sixth volume, the hero still works in his own law firm (which is getting worse and worse), simultaneously fighting the forces of evil (both as a lawyer and as a superhero). But the main thing in the book is that Daredevil teams up with the Hulk and the Silver Surfer! Sensation! What will come of this, see for yourself.

4. Strange

One movie about Doctor Strange will not be enough. Moreover, just recently three different comics about the doctor-magician came out at once, with two of which we will introduce you.

In "Strange", readers will see a seemingly familiar story from the film with unexpected plot twists, presented in a darker key. In addition, in the full-length film, due to the limited budget and timing, many interesting details of the doctor's life and his transformation into a wizard were omitted. Look for all this in the book.

5. Doctor Strange. Oath

Two comics about Doctor Strange at once for one collection. Isn't it too much? Not at all! After all, this story about a daring magician surgeon drives you crazy from the first pages. An attempt has been made on Strange's life, a faithful student is on the verge of life and death, and to solve these problems, you will probably have to break the Hippocratic oath.

6. Harley Quinn

Tired of endless Harley Quinn cosplay? That's right, we too. That is why it is worth going back to the original and re-reading the story of this crazy lady, and we propose to finish it with a brand new second volume.

In this book, events unfold after an unsuccessful romance with the Joker. One fine day, Harley discovers Powergirl, who has lost her memory, at her home. This is where Harley's new adventures begin! Bonus: The book contains sketches, notes, and a gallery of covers.

7. Young Avengers

The Young Avengers are a bunch of teenage superheroes who accidentally form a gang. In this episode, the heroes will travel across the galaxy in search of their kidnapped friend.

Young Avengers is a very special episode, hot and funny. Teenage humor, jokes about social networks, sex and buying alcohol - everything that teenagers are interested in is here. In addition to all this, there are problems of a universal scale that await solutions.

8. Star Trek: Countdown

This Star Trek is the official prequel to JJ Abrams's 2009 Star Trek film. How does the new era of the Star Trek universe begin? This question is answered exhaustively by the comic strip, to which the Oscar-winning director himself had a hand. Luxurious graphics and a vivid plot - almost like in a movie, only better.

9. Snowman and Snow Dog

The comic, least of all similar to the comic, from the publishing house "Polyandria". A touching and funny story of a snowman and a little boy who will become his friend is told in only pictures without words. The second book in the set describes the story of another boy and a snow dog, who carries him across the winter expanses of the sky. These kind books will melt the hearts of children and even the most severe adults.

10. Parallel comics

Parallel comics are 12 stories, 12 parallel worlds and 12 completely different independent Russian artists. Checked: after reading this comic, 90% of readers want to stay in one of the worlds to live. Or at least stay overnight.:)
