Each week hundreds of new comics hit the stands, each with potential. Some live up to that potential. We pick the ones we think have the best shot at heating up. Here are our picks of the week for delivery 8/28/19:
New #1’s
Tommy Gun Wizards #1 – Mobsters, wizards, monsters, and Elliott Ness and the Untouchables. A blend of genres. Looks cool.
Mountainhead #1 – New IDW series. IDW has had some hits with small books lately. This one is by John Lee of Sink fame.
Killer B’s
Batgirl #38 Joshua Middleton Cover – Another knock out by Middleton.
Wonder Woman #77 Jenny Frison Cover – Great Cheetah cover. Frison is doing great art.
Batman Superman #1 – New crossover series featuring DC’s big two. Also, Jokerized hero….
DC Must Grabs
House Of Secrets #92 Facsimile Edition – Complete reprint of the first Swamp Thing. Yes, please.
Justice League #30 – Snyder tweeted out something big was gonna happen. We shall see.
The Unclassified One
Marvel Comics #1000 – Event book, huge price. Many may stay away. A bit of controversy was announced that Mark Waid out a page of Captain America in that was pulled. We shall see.
Marvel Must Grab
House Of X #3 – The HOX/POX stuff has been hot, and good. Grab one.
Venom #17 – Return of a symbiote….. This one could be hot as a certain symbiote has been heating up.
Covers of the Week
Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #11 – MJ in Spider-Duds, love it.
Spider-Man Velocity #1 Gabriele Dell Otto Cover – Cover price Dell Otto. A must grab. (I also like the Retro Game Cover to be honest.)
Small Press Pick of the Week
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #97 – Jennika in mask on the cover B.
Big Two Pick of the Week
Absolute Carnage Lethal Protectors #1 – We see a new first that we thought was a little further down the road.
The Pick of the Week
Once and Future #1 2nd Print – small window to order these and many shops will not get them. Price has sky rocketed in pre-sale.
