Comic Picks of the week for delivery 7/31/13

Summer has been kicking my rear with great books. With my work schedule, working on the site, buying comics for selling, and general summer travels, I am behind on my reading pile. This week is no exception. There are some really good books, with good speculation on them coming out this week.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy 5 – Angela joins. There has been a lot of speculation on her joining the Marvel universe, and besides the cameo in Age of Ultron, this is her first full appearance. I dug out my Spawn #9‘s out just in case.

2. Collider #1 -1 With the Wake out a few months ago, Vertigo hit the independent stride it used to have (that was taken over by Image). Collider has that feel to it. Science books have been hot (Manhattan Projects and Nowhere Men). Look for a sell out on this one.

3. Five Ghosts The Haunting of Fabian Gray #5 – Final issue of the first arc. Moves to an ongoing series next issue.

4. Wake #3 – Did you see that Mermaid special on Discovery, the one that tricked a lot of people into thinking the fake footage documentary footage was real? Well this follows the same science, and really nails it. Such a great book.
