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? Not a huge week. Some cool new series, some really rad reprints, and some hot covers. But no real standout books. Here is what is on tap:
New Series
Curse Of Sherlee Johnson #1 – What happened to Sherlee Johnson, the seven-year-old victim of the infamous serial killer Billy Kinkaid? THE CURSE OF SHERLEE JOHNSON, an epic new chapter in the Spawn Universe, explores the fate of the innocent young girl. Her harrowing adventures with the Stranger are laid bare as her story and the world she now inhabits is revealed
Robowolf #1 – Robo Wolf and his crew of bank robbing criminals are in a race against time to get a fat stack of stolen money to the villainous Colonel Massacre, who has kidnapped Robo Wolf’s daughter for ransom! The Colonel’s not the only one with an eye on the money, however, and our heroes will have to use their combined skills to tear through an onslaught of bloodthirsty cannibals, ninjas, robots, and more!
Sleep #1 – When Jonathan Reason falls asleep, he becomes…something else. Every night, it stalks his quiet town, killing (seemingly) indiscriminately. When he wakes, covered in blood, our story begins.
Spider-Man & Wolverine #1 – SPIDER-MAN & WOLVERINE team up for the biggest adventure in Marvel comics! Who or what is targeting this unlikely duo, and what can they do to stop it?
For the Cover
Superman Unlimited #1 Dan Mora James Gunn Cameo Card Stock Cover – Dan Mora covers have been low key picking up steam, mix in a celebrity cameo and you could have a winner.
If you buy one Vampirella this week, look at:
Vampirella #2 Mark Spears Cover – Mark Spears doing what he does best, monsters, vampires, or vixens.
Archie Is Mr Justice #4 Homage Cover – Nice Killing Joke homage.
Notable Reprints
Our Army At War #151 Facsimile Edition – Reprints the first appearance of Enemy Ace.
Spawn #5 Facsimile Edition – Stores that ordered 10 copies of Curse Of Sherlee Johnson #1 can unlock these Spawn Facsimiles.
Fantastic Four #48 Facsimile Edition – Marvel is reprinting the Galactus Saga. This is the first appearance of Silver Surfer and Galactus.
Mark Spears Monsters #1 5th Printing – This series keeps chugging along and putting out cool reprints.
So not really any big picks of the week. I am liking the Spears Vampi cover (ordered several online) as I am not seeing a bunch listed on eBay, and really liking the Sherlee Johnson Spawn book.
