Every week, hundreds of new comics hit the shelves 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 1/22/20:
New #1’s
Atlantis Attacks #1 – New event series featuring Namor. Not a lot of buzz but the Jeehyung Lee Variant is awesome.
Guardians of the Galaxy #1 – New Guardians series. Features new designs for some classic gods and power sets.
Venom Good Son #1 – Dylan takes center stage in this one. Spoilers to follow.
The One to Wait On
Wonder Woman #750 – Lets be honest, nothing huge ever ends up happening in these big anniversary issues. Couple that with the fact I have picked up these milestone books for cheap a little later on shows that if you are not a huge WW fan, wait.
Covers of the Week
A lot of sweet covers this week.
Batgirl #43 Terry Dodson Cover – love this Terry Dodson cover. I think he does females as well or better than Adam Hughes but doesn’t get the rabid fan base. Batgirl doing the Battusi Great, fun cover.
Detective #1019 – Lee Bermejo does an awesome Batman. Dark and gothic.
Red Sonja Age of Chaos #1C (Homage Variant) – this one sold out at a bunch of the big stores already. Homage to ASM 300, and people do collect the homages.
Amazing Spiderman #38 Marvels X Phil Noto Cover – Man, an awesome cover of May Parker, Venom of Earth X, symbioting up.
Edgar Allan Poe’s Snifter of Terror #4 – funny King Size Hulk #1 Homage.
Small Press Pick of the Week
Kidz #1 – fun new kids vs Zombies series from Ablaze. I really enjoyed this one.
Pick of the Week
Batman Beyond #40 – The no brainer. identity revealed of Batwoman Beyond. Selling for multiples of cover price. Grab and go. (Check Mycomicshop.com before hitting up eBay, they still have copies of Batman Beyond #40 B Variant left)
Excited for good son.
