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? How about that Dorc comic? Hope you all made money off it last week, I know I sold the heck out of it. Not as exciting this week, but who knows, possibly another sleeper will explode. Check out what is on tap:

Bleeding Hearts #1 – New Vertigo Series. The zombies won—and ten years after the fall of humanity, they’re the dominant form of life (or not-life) on Earth. They’ve developed their own cultural practices, their own language, their own society. Mouse-Pokes-Golf-Ball-Through-Hole-In-Head (“Poke” for short) is a beloved member of his community, and with his brother-in-arm Mush, he’s happy to shamble along through the only world he can remember…until the day his heart mysteriously starts beating again. And in a blink, the first humans he sees have stopped looking like food and have started looking like…friends…?
Center Holds #1 – This one looks interesting. In a world where superheroes have become commonplace, heroes are required to join a union or else face serious financial liability for the damage caused during battles. Enter the Superheroes’ Union: A team-up of genius Scyber, psychic Lakshmi, the mysterious Keeper, and child prodigy Nekkotron, among others, as they battle villains and bureaucracy alike. And though the delicate balance of mitigating damage while saving lives is already tough enough, they’ve got their own worries with a constant stream of villains rising up to challenge them. Marking the final work by M.D. “Doc” Bright along with legendary writer Larry Hama, follow along as they question the very nature of what it means to be a hero in this thrilling new giant-size issue!
The Crown A Tale Of Hell #1 – A Hellboy Prequel.
Marc Spector Moon Knight #1 – Marc Spector has been many things — an Avenger, a Fist of Khonshu, a Karnak Cowboy and now… KIDNAPPED?! But by whom? And why?!

The Thing On The Doorstep #1 – Daniel Upton and Edward Derby have been best friends almost their entire lives, right up to the point Daniel shoots Edward dead in the Arkham Sanitorium—a crime Daniel swears he didn’t commit, despite all the evidence. What happened on that fateful day in Arkham? What is the truth behind this seemingly mindless act of violence?
