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? Very, Very light week this Wednesday. Hoping for a few surprises. Anyway, here is what is on tap:
New Series
New History Of The DC Universe #1 – In celebration of 90 years of DC, super fan and writer Mark Waid turns back time to the very beginning of the DC Universe in a four-issue miniseries drawn by some of DC’s greatest artists and told by the newest chronicler of time, Barry Allen, the Flash!
News From The Fallout #1 – In 1962 Nevada, a nuclear bomb test goes horribly awry and unleashes a contaminate into the atmosphere that turns people rotten. Otis Fallows, a private in the U.S. Army who is present for the test and is the only known survivor, flees the secret army base in search of a safe haven—but does such a place exist?
One and Done
Goddamn Tragedy #1 – Ellen Janson is here to set the record straight about the highly publicized, oft-sensationalized journey her family undertook in 1846. Ellen sets out with her mother, Irena, and her father, Leo, on the treacherous road west in search of a better life. But when her father chooses to split off from the party, taking an untested shortcut through the mountains, can their small family survive the elements, the wildlife-and each other? Or will their journey become nothing more than another goddamn tragedy?
One to Watch
Green Arrow #25 – First modern age appearance of Crimson Archer, a golden age character who has only appeared once before.
Notable Reprints
Godzilla 70th Anniversary Foil Classics Godzilla Half-Century War #1 – In celebration of Godzilla’s 70th anniversary, IDW is proud to present reprintings of the greatest Godzilla stories ever told! This time around, join us for another look at 2012’s Godzilla: The Half-Century War #1, featuring a foil cover by the incredible James Stokoe.
X-Men #136 Facsimile Edition – The penultimate chapter of the classic Dark Phoenix Saga is one of the all-time great Marvel comic books and covers, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all!
Variant of the Week
Hyde Street #7 Cereal Box Variant Cover – Very cool retro cereal box homage.
Pick of the Week
Deadpool #15 – New villain named Kurani appears. Also, a new MANGA DEADPOOL story! This one is a pricier book that people may skip over for budget reasons. Haven’t seen a ton of Deadpool spin off characters shoot through the roof, but still in a slow week, this one is interesting.
