Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge: "Only a Poor Old Man" HC - Carl Barks' classic Uncle Scrooge begins bing collected here!

Combat #1 (J.T. Krul, Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, Ariel Olivetti & Dan Panosian), and The Ravagers #1 (Howard Mackie & Ian Churchill).
Cursed Pirate Girl (Volume 1) HC - My favorite comic from last year gets the deluxe treatment, thanks to Archaia. A nice new hardcover edition of Jeremy Bastian's gorgeous comic is being released with a new epilogue. If you missed the small print run the first time around, do not miss out this time. This book is amazing!
Trio #1 - John Byrne returns to creating new superheroes in this new team title from IDW.
Mind Mgmt #1 - A new ongoing series from Matt Kindt, creator of Super Spy.
Marvel Zombies Destroy! #1 (of 5) - Marvel visits the Marvel Zombie-verse again with this new five issue mini-series, which sees a cast of characters including Dum Dum Dugan and Howard the Duck. The envelope really can't be pushed any further at this point.

The Furry Trap HC - Josh Simmons (House) returns with a collection of 11 short horror stories!!
