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? It is an interesting week with potential. It is a little bit lighter than last week. Check out what is on tap:
New Series
Captain Henry And The Graveyard Of Time #1 – New Mike Mignola book. An intrepid time traveler voyages to a new dimension, but the monsters he finds there may be less of a danger than time itself. Mike Mignola and Bruce Zick cowrite and Zick (Thor, The Atomic Legion) draws this new series that explores an uncharted corner of the Hellboy universe! A new four-part miniseries in the world of Hellboy!
Last Wolverine #1 – X YEARS LATER, the people of Vancouver cheer a new hero: the WONDERFUL WOLVERINE, A.K.A. the WENDIGO, Logan’s last student. But what happened to LOGAN? A secret from Wolverine’s past will set the Last Wolverine on a mission to uphold his mentor’s legacy…unless a dire threat burns it all down first!
Omega Kids #1 – X YEARS LATER, Quentin Quire protects the dream of mutant supremacy and independence as head of the Revelation Territories’ spy network. But when a conspiracy threatens the mutant utopia, Quire and his psychic students will have to distinguish friend from foe. Has Quentin got what it takes to carry the dream forward, or will the next generation replace the former revolutionary?
Radioactive Spider-Man #1 – X YEARS LATER, the X-Virus decimated New York – but Spider-Man won’t stop fighting. In a desperate gamble, Peter Parker doses himself with lethal radiation to hold the infection at bay. Survival comes at a cost. While this may not kill Peter Parker, it sure messes him up. This is the most dangerous, mutated Spider-Man ever – and he’s not alone.
Terminator Metal #1 – The Dynamite Terminator series has been a really good read. In the post-apocalyptic future that follows Judgment Day, the shattered remnants of humanity must make use of every tool they can in their existential battle against the machines — and that includes the deadliest weapons that Skynet sends to annihilate them. For one member of the Resistance, this means trusting his life to a reprogrammed Terminator. Trapped behind enemy lines, the soldier and his repurposed engine of destruction must find a way to both survive and complete their mission — an undertaking with such a low probability of success that it could reboot the Terminator back to its default settings!
