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? A very slow week, one or two must buys for me. Here is what is on tap.
New Series/#1’s
Deer Editor #1 – Mad Cave – A John Doe slaying lures a journalist into a world of political intrigue, a wi-fi-enabled grotto, and a station locker full of secrets. For Bucky, an editor of the crime beat at “The Truth,” it’s all in a day’s work… …but he also happens to be a deer. Will he chase down his last story in this antler noir series? An Advance Reader Version was released one per store a few weeks back. May be worth hunting down a copy.
Edie You Are What Eats You #1 – Blood Moon – Every aspect of Edie’s life appears to be falling apart, but things seem to turn around when the guy of her dreams asks her out. He assaults her, but that’s not the worst of it. As she attempts to escape, a voracious alien captures her, consumes her, and changes her forever.
Resurrection Of Magneto #1 – On Krakoa, resurrection from the dead was as easy as completing a circuit – but Krakoa fell. The time of easy miracles is over, and only the hard roads are left. Now it falls to Storm – as the epic conclusion to the Krakoan age looms – to bring their oldest enemy home to fight against the FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X…but after all he did, and all that was done to him, can Magneto bear to return?

Pick of the Week
Star Wars Thrawn Alliances #1 – TIMOTHY ZAHN teams with STAR WARS veteran JODY HOUSER to bring THRAWN: ALLIANCES to the pages of comic books! With it being a quiet week, the fan favorite villain Thrawn wins the week.
I don’t understand the facsimiles. is the flash 123 coming out this week a 2nd print of the flash facsimile that came out a few years back?? very confusing on these printings….not blaming you Anthony……they did this with hulk 181 with 3 different facsimiles
Yeah, essentially it is a second print. I do not think they did a facsimile of the facsimile but you never know. I will say the Flash foil was previously a $50 con exclusive so its nice to grab one without the price tag.
