Yes, I know, it's only Monday, but I keep banging on about how helpful it is for people to order in advance, and I do a very poor job of telling you what's coming up in the future.
Well. Time to fix that.
Here are some of the highlights that will be occupying the rack in March - there're too many for one post, so we're just covering Image, Marvel, IDW and Dark Horse today, with other publishers to follow in later posts (which is why we're starting on Monday...)

COMING FROM IMAGE
Decorum #1
There are many assassins in the known universe. This is the story of the most well-mannered one.
"Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what knife you use."
Mercy #1
When the placid mining village of Woodsburgh is disturbed by a series of brutal murders, the settlement is in turmoil. And as the first snow covers the chaos in a white blanket, a mysterious woman in black arrives, eliciting a totally different kind of unrest. But who is Lady Hellaine, really? And what's her secret agenda? Acclaimed UNNATURAL and UN/SACRED creator MIRKA ANDOLFO presents a sensual Victorian gothic horror about otherness, damnation, redemption, and what it means to be a monster in a horror tale perfect for fans of Penny Dreadful or Crimson Peak.
Stealth #1
For decades, Stealth has waged war on crime in Detroit, but now he's taken his pursuit of justice too far. Only reporter Tony Barber knows that behind Stealth's reckless behaviour is an older man battling Alzheimer's - his father. A father unwilling to accept that he's no longer the hero this city needs… with enemies all too eager to force his retirement. Created by ROBERT KIRKMAN and MARC SILVESTRI, STEALTH is an action-packed series, perfect for readers who enjoy Black Panther and Iron Man.
