Every week, hundreds of new books hit the stands, each with potential. We pick the ones we think have the best shot at heating up. Here are the picks of the week for delivery this Wednesday
New #1’s
Superman vs Lobo #1 – Black Label throw down between Superman and Lobo. A new character appears in the book.
King Spawn #1 – Going to be massively printed, but, still may be a good long term pickup.
Ones to Watch
Superman Son Of Kal-El #2 – First appearance of a new character named The Truth
Black Widow #10 – “I Am the Black Widow” ends here, and a new power emerges – But for whom, still, love the Black Widow series especially with the Adam Hughes covers.
Thor #16 – Remember that time that Black Winter showed Thor his death, and he sees Thanos with Mjolnir covered in Infinity Gems, well yeah, it unfolds here.
One and Done
Avengers Annual #1 – Meet the new character who beats Captain America and Iron Man within an inch of their lives, Multitude.
Lester Of The Lesser Gods #1 – One shot from Albatross Exploding Funny Books (Eric Powell’s company.) Lester has no friends and no life. That is until Satan unleashes the Apocalypse! No longer is he a 32-year-old, 300 pound LARPer who lives with his mother. A mother who constantly re-minds him of his lowly conception in a biker bar bathroom. But momma didn’t get that gimpy hip from knocking boots with any old biker… t’was a GOD! And Satan shall suckle his knuckle! HUZZAH!
Small Press Pick of the Week

In a world where those with superpowers invoke fear and awe, some become celebrities, others scapegoats. Who will defend the powered few when the many seek to cage and/or control them? Cassidy Crawford is the most prominent defense attorney of this world who leads a law firm that specializes in protecting this new minority population from overzealous laws, police and prosecutors.
