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’s up Wednesday Warriors? Small week, hoping for a break out book so fingers crossed.
New Series
Doctor Strange Of Asgard #1 – There is a Netease Rivals Variant for this one. Doctor Doom tricked Doctor Strange into surrendering the title of Sorcerer Supreme. Now Doom is ruling the world, and Stephen Strange is…experiencing a bit of an identity crisis. Searching for purpose – and maybe revenge – he travels to Asgard to see if Thor’s kingdom might be looking for a Sorcerer Supreme of its own. Loki’s willing to help, but that help comes with a wicked catch, and Strange quickly realizes that becoming Asgard’s top magical authority is going to be more complicated than he thought.
Herculoids #1 – 80’s kids will remember this one from the Hanna Barbera cartoons. Herculoids first solo series.
Star Wars Jedi Knights #1 – MARVEL’S first series focusing on the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy: THE JEDI KNIGHTS! Featuring your favorite JEDI like QUI-GON JINN, OBI-WAN KENOBI, YODA and MACE WINDU alongside BRAND-NEW JEDI sure to become fan favorites! And who is the mysterious new villain targeting Qui-Gon Jinn?
Notable Reprints
Brave And The Bold #30 Facsimile Edition – reprinting the first appearance of Amazo
For the Cover
Poison Ivy #31 Kyuyong Eom Card Stock Cover – We have been a fan of Kyuyong Eom for a while. And now he is doing his first open order work for DC Comics. Looking forward to more from him.
Thundercats #13 Mark Spears Cover – Spears has been hugely popular, but with so much of his work coming out from Dynamite, the heat has died down, this is still a really good Lion-o cover by Spears. There are a ton of different versions with different color backgrounds, I doubt any will sell more than cover price, but still, I like the cover.
One and Done
Web Of Spider-Verse New Blood #1 – Spider-Man and his spider-compatriots across the Spider-Verse are the guardians of the Web of Life and Destiny…but they are heading for a confrontation with the OTHER Arachnid-Multiverse of the symbiote variety when they come into conflict with the VENOMVERSE! In the buildup to that 8-fisted confrontation, meet three new Spider-Versers to see who has what it takes to fight in the web wars! Could it be Count Parker? Spider-Prowler? Or maybe Spider-Hulk?
Ones To Watch
Ultimates #10 – Solicitation mentions The Red Skull’s Gang, but will be interesting if Ultimate Red Skull shows up, spoilers later tonight.
Pick of the Week
Sister Imperator #1 – This is a weird one for sure. I like comics that cross genres and this comic ties into the hugely popular band GHOST. This one has a lot o cross over potential. Sister Imperator has been integral to the band Ghost and its lore since its founding. A representative of the Clergy, she and her past have been shrouded in mystery-until now. Discover Sister Imperator’s hidden history and the gruesome events that led her to become the woman both loved and feared by so many, from her innocent origins in small-town New England to the force behind Ghost.
