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? Marvel and DC both took a hiatus this week and mostly putting out one shots and annuals. Pretty boring week following SDCC (which with little news seemed like a dud.) Not going to load this one up with a bunch of books just to have more to write about, so save some cash or grab some back issues this week. Anyway, here is what is on tap:
New Series
I Tyrant #1 – 300 and Birdman’s magical realism clash when** **Zahhak—a legend with a stark depiction of tyrants—proposes that Hafez toss out his unpromising myth’s conclusion. Hafez must retell it with a Kirby exodus for Zahhak, to give his tale a Miller reboot in the comics industry. CREATION MYTHS NEED A DEVIL
Speed Racer #1 – Fourth volume of Speed Racer, an all new adaptation. Speed Racer lives for the thrill of the race, but on the underground circuit, the rules are anything goes. Dodging bullets, explosions, and dirty tricks, he’s got one goal: to prove he’s the best. But when a dangerous syndicate targets his family, Speed’s greatest challenge won’t be on the track…it’ll be on the streets. With the police closing in and a masked racer lurking in the shadows, Speed is about to learn that some races can’t be won with horsepower alone.
Notable Reprints
Superman #1 Facsimile Edition – Golden age sized reprint
For the Cover
Mark Spears Monsters #6 Variant Vampirella Cover – Pretty cool thot Mark Spears gets to use Vampirella on the cover of his book. New character makes their debut. If the show/movie we got word of makes it, it could be another good issue to have.
Mega Man X Timelines #1 Edwin Huang Cover – Just a very cool look under the the skin of Megaman. Bad ass cover.
Cover of the Week
The War #1 Jay Shaw Virgin Incentive Cover – The story itself is good, it ran in the pages of “Hello Darkness” and now is being collected in a stand alone series. This cover is just awesome. (there is a virgin and trade dress virgin).
