Comic Picks of the Week for Delivery 5/29/19

Each week, hundreds of new comics hit the stands each with potential. We pick the ones that have the best shot at heating up. Here are our picks of the week for delivery 5/29/19:

Well, it is the dreaded fifth week edition. If you didn’t know, the fifth week is just that, the fifth Wednesday of the month. Instead of putting out their regular books, they put out specials, annuals, and other comics that do not fit into the schedule. This week is not so bad as there are some regular books, lots of good indy books, and some other things thrown into the mix. Check out the picks below.


Cover of the Week
Hellboy vs Lobster Johnson Ring Of Death One Shot – Sure, the movie remake may have been a financial flop, but this cover is a hit and the book still rolls on. This cover is great. Reminiscent of the El Santo movie posters.

 

 

DC One to Watch
Superman Leviathan Rising Special #1 – big, $10 cover price may scare stores and buyers off. But if important things unfold, a probable smaller print run book could be big in the future.

Returning Favorite
Amber Blake #3 – Great read in a magazine sized book that people may pass over due to not wanting to store them. The 1:10 Variant is always one to try to grab.

The Marvel Variant to Watch
Immortal Hulk #2 5th Print Incentive Variant – I am sure people will hate this, and sure, with store variants, there could be more out there than people think, but all the same, if you can get it cheap, flip it.

The Marvel Retro One
Star Wars #108 – While there is a regular Star Wars series going on, Marvel is going back and revisiting their old continuity from the first series for one more issue. Also looking at the JTC Action Figure Variant on this one as it features Valance the Hunter on it.

Small Press One to Watch
Donald Who Laughs #1 – Politics and comics sell books. The Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Wonder Woman cover is commanding series cash, and I have mentioned before how I have sold these books easily. Well, here is another DC spoof featuring a political figure.

Small Press Gems
Rick And Morty #1 50 Issues Special Variant – Rick and Morty are hitting issue #50, they are reprinting the first issue with a new cover. Just in time for the new season (coming way later this year.)

She Said Destroy #1 Variant – homage to Saga, good choice.

Zorro Sacrilege #1 – Combining classic action with horror. It worked to help revitalize the Archie line (mashing up horror with their books). I ma interested in this one.

DC Pick of the Week
Batman Last Knight On Earth #1 – Scott Snyder’s new Black label title that just looks cool as heck. Looking forward to reading this.

Marvel Pick of the Week
Immortal Hulk #18 – expect full Red Harpy this issue (most likely) with full Abomination upcoming. Great read and has been continuously a worthy pick up.

Small Press Picks of the Week
Horror Comics #1 – I love Antarctic doing horror books again. Their previous horror comics have been good read and have gone up in value. I pre-ordered the Teether Variant as I love that book.

Wailing Blade #1 – New Comix Tribe book. The Kickstarter editions were awesome. Check out this high-adrenaline fantasy adventure.

  1. From what I’ve seen of IH 18, it’s full abomination, not red harpy. Red harpy full 19 or 20.

    1. Normally you’re supposed to not give out spoilers on Tuesday evening until Anthony’s had an opportunity to post them…

  2. R&M are reprinting issues #1-#5. They will all be out tomorrow featuring connecting covers. The strange thing being that all the images Ive seen have said ‘not final cover’. I am wondering why that is.
