Every week, tons of new books 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 the picks of the week for delivery this Wednesday
Hey Wednesday Warriors, another smallish week but some good grabs. Here is what is on tap:
New #1’s
Batman vs Robin #1 – Damn DC, 12 covers? There is a really nice Joshua Middleton Card Stock Cover though. Deep in the heart of Lazarus Island, the demonic legacy of the al Ghul family line has at last been freed, and the Devil Nezha is out for blood. To reclaim his total domination over planet Earth, Nezha has supercharged magic—anyone who dares use it is overcome by a demonic evil that supercharges their abilities to dangerous, unpredictable, and in some cases deadly levels! With Damian in Nezha’s clutches and Bruce haunted by the return of an old friend, the Dark Knight and the Boy Wonder are pitted against one another in the battle of the century!
Castle Full Of Blackbirds #1 – From the pages of Hellboy, new Mignola-verse series following Sara May Blackburn from The Return of Effie Kolb
Flash The Fastest Man Alive #1 – New villain named the Girder appears
The Least We Can Do #1 – New Image series. Mysterious magical power arises from a world nearly destroyed by war. A young woman fights for her ideas of revolution and to build a new society from the debris. Realizing that she can’t do it alone, she has to prove her worth to the Eclipse Rebels to join them against the dreadful Eden Army. A story of discovering what is right and what love means in a military-occupied and socially oppressed United Kingdom.
Maskerade #1 – New Kevin Smith book.Felicia Dance is hiding in plain sight. The provocative social media star and shock TV sensation has one of the most recognizable faces in the world–so she cant capture and kill the butchers who murdered her little brother and experimented on Felicia like a lab rat when she was a child. Not unless she looks like someone else. The face of justice is reshaped forever in Maskerade
Star Trek Lower Decks #1 – New Star Trek series based off the animated series.
Ones to Watch
Midnight Suns #1 – New team with members MAGIK, WOLVERINE, BLADE, SPIRIT RIDER & NICO MINORU. Rumor of a new villain appearance.
Revealer #1 – New Vault Comics one shot that ties into an upcoming Horror movie on Shudder. The B Cover is kinda funny.
Small Press Pick of the Week
Bone Orchard Mythos Ten Thousand Black Feathers #1 – I loved Gideon Falls and cannot wait to see the world building Jeff Lemire has in store for the first part of the Bone Orchard Mythos
Edge Of Spider-Verse #3 – The series is introducing a bunch of new Spider characters, we get Night Spider this time. This issue also gives us the origin of Sakura Spider, which is a cannot miss.
A new Girder? Because Girder’s been around for 20 years.
I am not a big Flash fan admittedly, more of an occasional reader, but went by the solicitation saying there was a new threat in Central City. The confusion came in because this Flash comic is based n the Movie Universe, and they stated a new threat appears. Sorry for the confusion, we try but sometimes do make mistakes.
Unacceptable. I demand Agent Poyo carry a retraction on a sandwich board through the streets of Manhattan.
