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
Welcome to the dreaded Fifth Week. The Fifth week is just that, the fifth Wednesday of the month. For the most part, publishers do not put out a lot of regularly scheduled books, and instead, focus on one shots or specials. Sure, you may get some regularly released books, but the week is usually smaller than normal.
What is up Wednesday Warriors? Pretty small week this week, but one must grab and some cool new books. Here is what is on tap:

Amazing Venom #1 – When last we left the red-and-blue be-symbioted Fred Myers—formerly BOOMERANG, now COMEBACK—he was trying to keep his life uncomplicated. The last thing he wanted was to get caught up in the symbiote nonsense of Hela and Knull’s war over Earth…but the best laid plans of saps and symbiotes often go awry. Now, in the fallout, Fred and his symbiote, Passenger, find themselves on a mission way, way, WAY more complicated than your average Venorang can handle!

Some years after the great witch war, Rondel, in order to save an old friend, finds himself in an uncomfortable situation—in the service of his former captor, Twelve-Toe Maggie. Will he break the magical tie that binds him to the twelve-toed witch or will the wielder of the Devil’s Cleaver be at her service forever?
