Alligator Loki #1 (Marvel) – The hit character’s digital comic gets a print version.

Batman and Robin #1 (DC Comics) – Damian and Batman are back together again facing a new villain that watches from the shadows.

Daredevil #1 (Marvel) – It’s a new era for Daredevil with a new creative team.

Dark Ride #8 (Image Comics) – It’s the end of the latest arc and it’s the showdown between Halloween and Sam as the winner will control the future of the Dante family and Devil Land! We’re loving this horror series.

Incredible Hulk #4 (Marvel) – This new run has been fantastic taking the character deep in his horror roots.

Kill More #1 (IDW Publishing) – The first issue is a fun one about a run down city filled with killers and an overworked cop. Check out our review!

Mech Cadets #2 (BOOM! Studios) – We loved the first issue of the returning series which balanced fun and action and welcomed new readers.

Negaduck #1 (Dynamite) – We love Dynamite’s Darkwing Duck series so more set in that world is all right by us. Let’s get evil!

Waller vs. Wildstorm #3 (DC Comics/DC Black Label) – The series has been an interesting blending of traditional DC and Wildstorm for adults.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Astrobots #4

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Alpha Flight #1 (Marvel) – Protecting Canada from mutants? We’re fans of the classic Alpha Flight and we’re intrigued about this new series.

Astrobots #4 (Massive) – Fantastic so far, we finally have an idea of what is up and with tensions, and the violence, escalating, we want to see where this goes.

Barb Vol. 3 Battle for Bailiwick (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers) – Every volume has been fun so far and perfect for young readers who want a fun fantasy series.

The Cull #1 (Image Comics) – Five friends set off to shoot a short film on a forbidden rock near their home the summer before they all go their separate ways. But that’s not really why they’re there. One of them has lied. And that lie will change their lives forever. Sounds like a nice tease and we’re excited to find out more!

Dark X-Men #1 (Marvel) – Have you seen the lineup? That alone is reason to get this!

Disney Villains: Hades #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Dynamite has been knocking it out of the park with their “Disney Villains” line , so we’re excited to check out this new one.

Rooster Fighter Vol. 4 (VIZ Media) – Yes the concept is silly but it works so well. The tease of Keiji’s half-brother has us pumped for the latest volume.

Uncanny Avengers #1 (Marvel) – Fall of X has been intriguing so far so we want to see what a new “unity” team will be like considering the climate in the Marvel Universe.

Under the Influence #2 (Mad Cave Studios) – A series about a cult spun out from a social media influencer and memes? Yes please!

Void Rivals #3 (Image Comics/Skybound) – If you’re a Transformers fan, this series is a must!

Washington’s Gay General (Abrams Comicarts) – Learn about General Von Steuben!

Black Panther #2 (Marvel) – The first issue’s story was interesting but the art was on another level.
