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 little bit better of a week with some solid grabs, check out what is on tap:
New Series
Body Trade #1 – The Body Trade is an unrelenting revenge story set against the backdrop of America’s aftermarket for dead bodies. Critically acclaimed writer Zac Thompson (Blow Away, Into The Unbeing) and star artist Jok team up for this neo-noir crime thriller rife with bloodshed and brutality, in the tradition of Blue Ruin and Hell or High Water!
Calaguerra #1 – Three unlikely individuals from Mexico with new found superhuman abilities find themselves joining forces to combat a common enemy. Embark on this epic journey into the world of Calaguerra filled with an emotional roller coaster of action, adventure, laughter, heartbreak, love, and characters finding the strength to take matters into their own hands to save not only their own country but the world.
Dazzler #1 – Second volume of Dazzler kicking off after all the Dazzler hype that didn’t come to fruition.
Graveyard Club #1 – New RL Stein series. Graves End is as sleepy a town as they come… especially being surrounded by cemeteries, and the local kids could think of nowhere else they’d rather wreak harmless havoc. But being surrounded by graveyards comes with the pervasive reminder that… there are more dead than there are living.
Lilith #1 – Lilith is an immortal who’s been banished from her home, a dimensional plane suspiciously similar to mankind’s idea of Hell. She’s been posing as a model on Earth while secretly preying on humans… that is, until she runs into Penelope, a sweet bookstore owner with a tome that might hold the secret to returning Lilith to her dimension. If the mismatched pair doesn’t end up falling in love first! “Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up.”
Multiversus Collision Detection #1 – Comic version of hit video game. Bruce Wayne, Diana Prince, and Clark Kent each wake in a cold sweat, troubled by strange dreams they’ve had about “the rabbit,” “the star child,” and “the witch.” Their investigation into these enigmatic visions brings them to unexpected locales and unusual characters, but none more unusual than the mysterious “rabbit” from their dreams as they find themselves face-to-face with the one and only Bugs Bunny.
The Moon Is Following Us #1 – Sam and Duncan LaMarr love their six-year-old daughter, Penny, more than anything in the whole world. But half a year ago, she was taken by the Cascade, an evil force they barely understand. Now, Sam and Duncan must fight side by side with the magical beings Penny cherished to try and get her back… before she’s gone forever.
Spirits Of Vengeance #1 – Many have borne the title SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE and as its most recent claimant has embarked on its final ride to explosive results, others still stir in the darker corners of the Marvel Universe! And one, in particular, has a stronger connection to two Ghost Riders than the rest, and after years, it’s ready to show its fangs again at last…
Tin Can Society #1 – The first stunning issue of a brand-new series from Giant Generator showcasing the first graphic novel work by screenwriter Peter Warren (The Incal feature film, Kill Me) with jaw-dropping art by Francesco Mobili and beautifully colored by Chris Chuckry. Johnny Moore is a world-famous tech mogul known as much for his work pioneering mobility aids for people with disabilities (like himself) as he is for moonlighting as the metal-suited vigilante, Caliburn. But when Johnny is found murdered and his suit stolen, his estranged childhood best friends reunite to solve the mystery of his murder. The Tin Can Society is a heartfelt and human look at the evolution of friendships across a lifetime, at disability and ableism, and the destructive power of fame.
