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? How about that Ultimate Spider-Man #1 last week? Hoping for more like that but this is a pretty tame week. Here is what is on tap.
New Series/#1’s
Cable #1 – New series for Cable. Cable goes to rescue his younger self but may not be able to fix the future.
Cobra Commander #1 – Skybound continues to expand their GI Joe line with a mini focusing on Cobra Commander.
John Constantine Hellblazer Dead In America #1 – John Constantine has cheated death once again–but his heart’s not beating, his body is decaying, and he, his friend Nat, and his son Noah are on the run in America, wanted for murder. Naturally, it’s all John’s fault–it always is. But as it turns out, Dream himself needs John’s help. Something terrible has taken root in America, and it’s using the sand from Dream’s pouch to impose its will. If John can put a stop to it, he might be able to parlay that favor into a chance to save all their lives–but he’s going to need help from someone he hasn’t spoken to in years. Someone he wasn’t always…all that kind to. Someone…or some…Thing?
One and Done
Colonized Zombies Vs Aliens #1 – Where there’s aliens, there’s zombies! These otherworldy threats converge in the secluded Carbon Falls Collective. A 2nd-gen off-the-grid’er, Huxley Robertson is dealing with both loss and the elders’ pushback against his plans for a fully sustainable town. Amidst those volatile, circumstances, a vainglorious alien explorer inadvertently re-animates the town’s dead! Add a rogue ATF agent into the mix and let’s just say this is a bad time for the sleepy town to be cut off from the outside world.
Jackpot #1 – Mary Jane as Jackpot gets her own stand-alone One Shot as part of the Gang War crossover.
For the Cover
Nightwing #110 Regular Cover – This one is mostly for the cover but we do get the origin on Apex Ava who first appeared in Nightwing 109. Spoilers: Turns out she has the same rare disease that transformed Garfield Logan into Beast Boy. Anyway, the meme cover is fresh and fun.
