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? Well, the holidays are upon us and this is a light week, easy on the wallet, allowing you to buy others (or yourself) some presents. Here is what is on tap:
New Series
Challengers Of The Unknown #1 – Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman join the Challengers, think DC’s version of the Fantastic Four, in this new series.
Deadly Tales Of The Gunslinger Spawn #1 – One of the most mysterious characters in the Spawn Universe is the Gunslinger Spawn. In Deadly Tales, his true origin is finally revealed in full.
Hellverine #1 – Hellverine get’s his own ongoing series after the miniseries has wrapped up.
New Years Prey #1 – Let’s bring in this New Year with a fang! Receiving a New Year’s Eve party invitation to the Janus family mansion was like something out of a dream for Jake and Sylvie. The glitz and glamour of high society was all they thought it would be until they discovered a darker, depraved side to that world and a secret so horrible, so sinister, it was kept locked away, deep inside the bowels of the ancestral home, forgotten, except for that one time of the year, it was allowed to feed. What do you do when people become prey and your only resolution is to survive the night? Don’t let the clock strike…dead! Your time just ran out! New Year – New Fears!
