Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Titans #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.

Arcade Kings #1 (Skybound/Image Comics) – This throwback to the arcades of old has us excited to revisit the type of place we spent a lot of time in.

Avengers #1 (Marvel) – It’s a new creative team and a new Avengers team and after the massive run and epic before, we’re interested in the fresh and new start.

Batman: Brave and the Bold #1 (DC Comics) – This anthology sounds exciting and lets be honest, the title has a lot of prestige about it.

Cyborg #1 (DC Comics) – It’s a new status quo for the character that sends him home. In such an odd age of technology in the real world, how will this series stand out?

Danny Ketch: Ghost Rider #1 (Marvel) – Danny was the Ghost Rider we grew up with so we want to see what this series has for us in nostalgia factor.

Dark Ride #6 (Skybound/Image Comics) – This has been a great horror series and we’re sucked in more and more into the weirdness.

Dark Spaces: Good Deeds #1 (IDW Publishing) – The first “Dark Spaces” anthology was solid. This new story focuses on a supernatural conspiracy that may expose a town’s historical sins.

Disney Villains: Maleficent #1 (Dynamite) – The Scar villains series has been great so far, so we’re absolutely excited to see more of what Dynamite does with Disney’s characters. So far, so good!

Fear of a Red Planet #4 (AfterShock) – The series has been a solid sci-fi detective series and we’re sucked in and want to know who did it!

The Gimmick #3 (AHOY Comics) – The series is an interesting mix of wrestling and super powers that has us sucked in.

Guardians of the Galaxy #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was a hell of a new direction and we want to explore more of it. What the hell is Grootfall!?

Hulk Annual #1 (Marvel) – Found footage horror mixed with the Hulk? How has this idea not been done before!?

Jinx: Cursed Life (Archie Comics/Archie Horror) – Archie has done a hell of a job with their horror line, so any new entry has us excited to see what they’re up to.

Mighty Barbarians #2 (Ablaze) – The first issue was solid mixing classic fantasy with a bit of a more modern comic style.

Titans #1 (DC Comics) – With the Justice League sidelined, we want to see how this team stands up in their absence.

The Vigil #1 (DC Comics) – We don’t know a ton about this series and its characters but we’re always intrigued by new characters.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Gatsby

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.

Amazing Spider-Man #25 (Marvel) – Marvel’s teasing some big stuff in this one, so don’t miss out Spidey fans!

Daughters of Snow and Cinders (Fantagraphics) – Fleeing the fires of her war-torn homeland, a young woman travels to the New World in search of gold to rebuild her life.

Disney Villains: Scar #2 (Dynamite) – The first issue was fantastic filling in some of Scar’s unknown story from The Lion King.

Dog Knight Vol. 1 (Feiwel & Friends) – Frankie is saved from a friendly golden retriever from bullies and wakes up in a giant doghouse and tasked to prove they posses the six dog virtues of loyalty, kindness, honesty, justice, stubbornness, and smell.

Extreme Venomverse #1 (Marvel) – It’s the Summer of Symbiotes and this is a small piece of that big puzzle that’s going on.

Gatsby (AWA Studios) – A new take on the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.

Ghostlore #1 (BOOM! Studios) – We’ve all heard of ghost stories… but what stories do the ghosts themselves tell us? Ghosts telling ghost stories? Written by Cullen Bunn with art by Leomacs? Yeah, we’re in.

Green Lantern #1 (DC Comics) – It’s a new status-quo for the Lanterns, Hal Jordan, and John Stewart and it’s a fantastic start.

The Nasty #2 (Vault Comics) – The first issue was an interesting spin on the horror genre about a group of kids wanting to save their video store and going to make their own scary movie.

Samurai Doggy #6 (AfterShock) – The series has been an entertaining story but it’s the visuals that have us really excited to check out each issue.

Something Epic #1 (Image Comics) – Outside our perception, creative thought takes physical form, with only a handful of individuals known as Epics able to interact with this wondrous hidden world. It sounds like an intriguing idea and we’re excited to see how this one plays out.

Spirit World #1 (DC Comics) – From the pages of Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate, a new Chinese hero emerges who’s able to travel to and from the Spirit World, the realm of the dead, and that of the living. We’re always excited to check out new heroes and ideas.

WildC.A.T.s #7 (DC Comics) – The series has been a wild ride that fans of the characters should enjoy and this latest issue begins to lay out the conspiracy as we’re not sure who we can trust.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Seven Years in Darkness #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.

Alien #1 (Marvel) – An alien unthaws from the snow ice and we’re always pumped for a new alien adventure.

Bulls of Beacon Hill #4 (AfterShock) – The series has been fantastic with a nice brutal and gritty mob story.

By the Horns: Dark Earth #8 (Scout Comics) – The blight continues to spread across Solothus as the Augernaut repairs near completion and Yun Ma’s plan for the continent begins to take shape. An awesome fantasy series with amazing art.

Deep Cuts #1 (Image Comics) – Stories of struggle, joe, and hope through the history of jazz. We’re excited to read this blend of music and comics.

Green Arrow #1 (DC Comics) – The Emerald Archer is lost, and it will take Oliver Queen’s whole family to find him! We’re pumped for a new Green Arrow series and we’re hoping the entire crew gets the spotlight they deserve.

Invincible Iron Man #5 (Marvel) – Tony is getting roped into the world of the X-Men and how it plays out should be something new and interesting.

Local Man #3 (Image Comics) – The series has been great blending classic image superheroes with a bit of a modern twist. Really solid so far and one for fans of superhero comics.

Money Shot Comes Again #1 (Vault Comics) – The XXX-plorers are back on their hands and knees for the good of humanity! When the giant ass space jellyfish who run the ordered universe arrive on earth, the porn-stars-cum-science explorers must put away grudges, crushes, and side-hustles to once again take one (or two! or three!) for the team.

Plush #6 (Image Comics) – Rednecks versus cannibalistic, serial-killing furries. The series has been crazy in all of the right ways.

Seven Years in Darkness #1 (CEX Publishing) – The Academy of Black Magic has reopened its doors for the first time in 200 years! Seventy-two children will walk through the Academy doors for freshmen year. But only seven will graduate and walk out alive!

Silence #1 (Literati Press) – Johanna Jones returns to her hometown of Anthem, a down-on-its-luck shipping town, to discover the ship her father sailed on has gone missing. She ends up aboard a yellow submarine named the Heart of Gold, headed directly into Hades’ Hexagon to find the missing crew, accompanied by her childhood best friend, a rich young addict, and a punk legend.

Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1 (Marvel) – The event wraps up and we’re intrigued to see how it’s all pulled off in one issue.
