Each week, hundreds of new comics hit the stands, each with potential. Some live up with that potential. Here is our picks of the week for delivery for 1/21/15:
Let’s jump right into it shall we?
The Pick of the Week:
Burning Fields #1: Tim Daniel (Enormous) and Michael Moreci (Hoax Hunters) team up again for a new horror series. Looks awesome. Selling out on-line.
Dana Atkinson, a dishonorably discharged army investigator, is pulled back to the Middle East when a group of American oil technicians disappear under bizarre circumstances. With the help of an Iraqi investigator, what Dana discovers is unimaginable: a series of unusual incidents at the drill site lead her and her unlikely ally to discover a mythic evil that has been released, one that threatens both the lives of the entire region and the fragile peace that exists.
The Returning Favorite:
Rumble #2– Rumble quickly became a favorite after just one issue. Demons, drunks, and a scare-crow god. Awesome art and story.
The small press (offensive) gem:
Holy F*ck #1– Do not get me wrong, I know there may be very little redeeming qualities to the book. But sometimes bad press is good press. The book is purposefully offensive. It also has a very low print run. Also, be on the look out for Holy F*ck #1 NYCC variant if the book takes off, it is limited to 100 copies.
The rare Marvel book on the list:
Guardians of the Galaxy #23– Planet Venom has been really interesting. We have seen Venom Groot, Venom Rocket, and Venom Drax. Now we are going to see Venom’s Planet.
Thats it for us this week. Let us know what you are spec-ing on.
