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
What is up Wednesday Warriors? Another small week. Here is what is on tap:
New #1’s
Alan Scott The Green Lantern #1 – Golden Age Green Lantern book.
Captain Marvel #1 – Captain Marvel kicks off her 10th series with a new costume. A Couple of new characters rumored to appear.
Dark Spaces Dungeon #1 – New Dark Spaces book from Scott Snyder.
Drive Like Hell #1 – Bobby Ray had it made. One last big job, then it was splitsville, set for life with his girl by his side! Then everything went wrong, and poor Dahlia took a bullet to the brain as they made their escape. Thing is, dear Dahlia didn’t stay dead. Now Bobby’s found himself plunged into a battle of otherworldly proportions, and if he wants to get out of dodge with his skin intact, he’s gonna have to Drive Like Hell!
Edenwood #1 – New Tony Daniel series about an elite team of DEMON HUNTERS tasked with annihilating a list of targets within the demon-controlled lands
Slow Burn #1 – Boom – Acclaimed crime writer Ollie Masters and artist Pierluigi Minotti transport readers into a bleak, violent world, perfect for fans of Gideon Falls and Stray Bullets.
The Prism #1 – Ablaze – Noise pollution is crushing life on earth. The largest mega-corporation on the planet finances a crazy project called The P.R.I.S.M. (Purifying Recording Interplanetary Space Mission) to combat the phenomenon: sending a musical supergroup into space to record an album that will produce sounds able to push back the threat known as S.O.T.W. (Smoke on the Water) and save the planet. Where rock’n’roll excess and the survival of all life on Earth collide, there is…THE PRISM!
