Each week hundreds of new books hit the shelves, each with potential. Some live up to that potential. We pick the books we think have the best shot of heating up. Here is our picks of the week for delivery 5/27/15:
The random Marvel on the list
Old Man Logan #1– Rarely do Big Two books make it on the list, but when they do, there is a good reason. Rumor has it Old Man Logan will be the new Wolverine in the Marvel U. Plus, the original story is such a classic. I can’t wait to get back into Old Man Logan’s world.
Look, New Alan Moore
Providence #1– Few creators have rabid followers like Alan Moore does. Throw in the HP Lovecraft fans and you have a possible hit on your hands. Yes, I know it is Avatar and will have 100 variants, plus a ton of reprints not labeled as reprints (they just keep releasing variants), but this one has the making of a hit.
The Small Press Gem
Captain Canuck 2015 #1– Already a little buzz on this one. Canada’s super hero returns in a new series.
The new Image Ones
Sons of the Devil #1
Material #1 – I am in for both of these. I cannot pass up a new Image book.
The Pick of the Week
Fight Club 2 #1– No movie had made sense to me, going to college getting a job, looking for a wife, the way Fight Club did. It spoke to me and many guys my age. Chuck Palahniuk is doing the sequel in comic form. It is a must pick up. There are several variants, and it is a mini-series, but still, worth the pick up. My favorite variant is Fight Club 2 #1 Phantom Variant by Paul Pope, just because I love Paul pope’s work and he has a strong indie following.
That’s it for us this week. Let us know what you are spec-ing on.

Infinity gauntlet 1:25 looks awesome and it intros a new female to nova and marvel universe ..tmnt 46 looks good also
I like it but honestly, I think the regular cover is the best one out of the bunch.
whats your thoughts on Inferno 1:25 …Granov been on fire ..But Phil Noto is still holding the cover game down for me
It’s not bad, I actually like the regular cover more as well for this one. I guess I’m not a big fan of the sexy/sex/modeling type poses over actual storyline/content covers.
Like both but as of late, any variant I buy dies, so it’s best to keep me out of the variant game.
Lol yea variant game has been hit or miss with me ..tmnt hit…hughes in the aftermarket miss …run the jewels hit..dc 1:100 booka killed me
