Posted on by
Animal Castle Vol. 2 #1

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.

Animal Castle Vol. 2 #1 (Ablaze) – A really interesting new take on the classic book Animal Farm.

Astrobots #1 (Massive/Whatnot) – The art for this looks amazing and is about machine lifeforms called Astrobots who scout worlds for humanity and one world where a society of them is rising and humankind is not included in their plans.

Carnage Reigns Alpha #1/Cult of Carnage: Misery #1/Edge of Spider-Verse #1 (Marvel) – There’s a lot going on the fans of Marvel’s Spider-Man corner of their universe. There’s more multiverse action to enjoy and Carnage faces off against Miles Morales!

Hairball #2 (Dark Horse) – As the young girl’s black cat continues to plague her family with horror and tragedy, she decides she must take matters into her own hands to put an end to the feline’s evil ways. The first issue was some impressive an unnerving horror.

History of Japan in Manga (Tuttle Publishing) – The History of Japan in Manga tells the action-packed saga of Japan from its misty origins up to the present day.

Impossible People: A Completely Average Recovery Story (Black Dog & Leventhal) – Julia Wertz chronicles her haphazard attempts at sobriety and the relentlessly challenging, surprisingly funny, and occasionally absurd cycle of addiction and recovery.

Lamentation #1 (Oni Press) – New horror from Cullen Bunn, Hillary Jenkins, and Simon Bowland? Yes please!

Monomyth #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – Magic is all but extinct. When the last ailing wizard casts a final desperate spell to summon the descendants of ancient bloodlines to a school for magic now in disrepair…those chosen ones find a horror of the likes they’ve never experienced. The concept sounds great.

Parker Girls #7 (Abstract Studios) – Every issue has been a great mix of humor and action.

Peacemaker: Tries Hard #1 (DC Comics) – Peacemaker is asked to help steal the world’s most valuable and dangerous DNA!

Shazam #1 (DC Comics) – Mark Waid and Dan Mora taking on Shazam!. Nuff said.

Starsigns #1 (Image Comics) – The constellations of the zodiac fall to earth, granting twelve ordinary people from very different walks of life the superhuman powers of the Starsigns. The concept sounds interesting with a astrology meets X-Men/Heroes spin.

Survival #1 (Dark Horse) – A plane crash leads to a creature bringing ancient terror to the Alaska wilderness.

Where Monsters Lie #4 (Dark Horse) – The series has been fantastic with a mix of a lot of laughs and over-the-top violence.

X-Men: Before the Fall – Sons of X #1 (Marvel) – A series of one-shots kick off with this one seeing Legion taking on Nimrod and more moves from Mother Righteous.

The Last Barbarians #1

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.

Betty: The Final Girl (Archie Comics/Archie Horror) – Archie Horror has been on point and entertaining, so we’re excited for this riff on the slasher genre.

Icon vs. Hardware #1 (DC Comics/Milestone) – The first “event” for the Milestone universe as “Worlds Collide”!

Investigators: Agents of SUIT Vol. 1 (First Second) – The main series this spins out of is a lot of fun. We’re hoping for more of the same with this graphic novel for younger readers.

Killchella #2 (Scout Comics) – The first issue nailed the start to a new slasher concept, one that takes place at a music festival. Will the kills live up to expectations?

The Last Barbarians #1 (Image Comics) – Sylv has a lot of skills…and she’ll need them all to survive this hero’s journey! It’s a new fantasy series that sounds like a quest to make some bank. We’re intrigued to see this as that cover is beautiful.

Masters of the Universe: Masterverse #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – To save the life of her champion, the Sorceress must take the Cosmic Enforcer on a tour of the multiverse! This sounds awesome!

Nemesis: Reloaded #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue surprised us in how on point it was with current societal topics. We want to see where it goes and what it might have to see underneath the over-the-top violence.

Nightcrawlers #1 (Marvel) – The next chapter of “Sins of Sinister” focuses on the hybrid Nightcrawlers.

Parker Girls #5 (Abstract Studios) – The series has been a lot of fun with a mix of action and laughs.

Spa (Fantagraphics) – It sounds like The Menu but in the selfcare space and we’re totally down for that!

Torrent #1 (Image Comics) – It’s a brand new superhero universe from Marc Guggenheim and Rico Renzi. Michelle Metcalf is the world’s most happy-go-lucky hero, Crackerjack, until tragedy forces her to cross the line from hero to vigilante.

WildC.A.T.s #4 (DC Comics) – Just a hell of a lot of fun with laughs, action, and drama. Such a great return of the characters and series!

Weekly Preview! 5 graphic novels, 3 comics. Oh my!

Parker Girls #4 (Abstract Studios) – Each issue had been a lot of fun with a nice mix of humor and action. It feels like a bit like an updates Charlie’s Angels.

Scarlet Witch #1 (Marvel) – With the character back on the good side of mutants but generally been to the side, a new series should be interesting to see as far as the character’s new status quo and to see what her direction is.

Spy Superb #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – Matt Kindt’s new spy/secret organization comic? Yeah, that’s a given.

Star Trek #3 (IDW Publishing) – A nice mix of characters from various Trek series, it’s been a fun story so far with the return of Benjamin Sisko!
