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? Some weeks are better than others…. This one has at least one good book worth a flip if you can find it. Check out what is on tap:
New Series
MegaGhost Vol 2 #1 – Megaghost returns for a new volume. First series was a fun read. MegaGhost is an action-packed, arcane adventure that mixes Saturday morning cartoon thrills with supernatural chills!
Octavia Magazine #1 – A new Eerie type sci-fi mag from Mike Hoffman. The Sorceress of Science stays sequestered away in a remote Spanish castle, where she conducts shocking experiments with beings that sometimes may bleed out into the world!
Rafael Garcia Henchman Vol 2 #1 – What if life in a super-villain organization was less like a James Bond movie and more like working at Walmart Corporate? Rafael Garcia: Henchman brings the old familiar tropes of a dark workplace comedy by way of a brand-new cinematic superhero universe, an action comedy that mixes the daily grind of The Office with the slacker absurdity of Stripes – if the General in charge was more like Lex Luthor.
One and Done
DC Marvel Superman Spider-Man #1 – Yes, a million copies will be printed. But it is pure fun fan service. People have been begging for this for years.
Mark Spears MidKnight Man #1 – A brand-new one-shot from Mark Spears, set in the record-breaking Mark Spears Monsters Universe, introduces the origin of an all-new superhero: MidKnight Man. Who is he? Where did he come from? And how does he fit into a world overrun by monsters and madness? All will be revealed in this standalone origin story that launches a bold new hero into the Monsters Universe. Every legend has a beginning. This one begins at midnight.
For the Cover
Justice League Unlimited #17 Bruno Redondo Card Stock Cover (on eBay) – Doing the classic glamor shots photo. Just fun.
Notable Reprints
Invincible Returns Facsimile Edition #1 – INVINCIBLE MONTH continues with a special reprint featuring THE FIRST APPERANCE OF THRAGG, who debuts in Season 4 of the INVINCIBLE animated series on Prime Video! After the shocking events of the Invincible War and the cataclysmic battle with Conquest, Invincible is ready to turn the page to a bold new era—just in time for THE VILTRUMITE WAR to begin! This special self-contained issue will bring readers new and old up to speed on everyone’s favorite superhero comic. If you’ve never read INVINCIBLE, now is the time to dive in!

Silver Surfer #1 Facsimile Edition – Surfer’s first solo series gets the facsimile treatment.
One to Watch
Absolute Wonder Woman #18 – Have never said that Wonder Woman was a must read for me until the Absolute series. This issue is Zatanna vs Wonder Woman. Hopefully we find out the identity of the Burning Witch from last issue.
