Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Local Man #2

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.

Action Comics #1053 (DC Comics) – The series has been fantastic so far making Superman really feel like a “family” of heroes.

The Ambassadors #1 (Image Comics) – Mark Millar’s newest series with Frank Quitely. The concept sounds interesting where people explain why they should be one of six people in the world to get powers. Part of the bigger picture for Millarworld and the upcoming event, we’re intrigued.

American Born Chinese (First Second) – If you haven’t had a chance to read this modern classic by Gene Luen Yang, here’s your chance before the new Disney+ series.

Bulls of Beacon Hill #3 (AfterShock) – The series has been solid so far and we’re intrigued to see how Christopher Boldt will deal with the attack on him by his father.

Don’t Spit in the Wind #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – A cleaning crew member goes missing near an old nuclear facility.

Dungeons & Dragons Saturday Morning Adventures #1 (IDW Publishing) – IDW’s “Saturday Morning” comics have been fantastic capturing the fun of the original animated series.

Fist of the North Star Vol. 8 (VIZ Media) – Kenshiro takes on the Holy Emperor Souther, the most powerful of the Six Holy Fists of the South Star. Hell yes!

Heavy Bright (Fantagraphics) – A queer young woman aims to dispel the greed and cruel masculine energy that has consumed the world.

Local Man #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue about a washout superhero was fantastic and we’re excited for what’s next in this series that’s an homage, spoof, and celebration of Image’s superheroes.

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1 (DC Comics) – The next steps for the team was hinted at in Lazarus Planet and this series seems like it’ll deal with the aftermath of that event.

Waller vs. Wildstorm #1 (DC Comics/DC Black Label) – We’re so pumped to see national security expert Spencer Ackerman take on writing Waller!

Samurai Doggy #4 is another visual treat

Now, Doggy has become Samurai Doggy, and his only goal is to quench his thirst for revenge.

Samurai Doggy #4 is another visually fantastic issue.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

TRAVELING TO MARS #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.

Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #1 (DC Comics) – Someone is killing versions of Superman across the multiverse and Jon Kent is called upon to stop the killing.

ARC (Image Comics) – An intriguing comic focused on illegal poaching and those fighting against it.

Black Tape #2 (AWA Studios) – The first issue was interesting about a musician who died and the viper’s circling to take advantage of what’s been left by him.

Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was a lot of fun putting the spotlight on a relatively new character and taking a familiar dynamic and switching it up.

By Water: The Felix Manz Story (Plough Publishing) – The true story of the conflict between establishment reformer Ulrich Zwingli and his student Felix Manz.

Dejah Thoris #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – Chuck Brown writing an early chapter of Dejah’s life? Yeah, we’re intrigued.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (IDW Publishing) – With a film coming later this month, check out the prequel comic!

The Gimmick #1 (AHOY Comics) – It’s superpowers meets wrestling in a very interesting debut that sets up an intriguing world and story.

Killchella #3 (Scout Comics) – What should’ve been the festival weekend of a lifetime has now turned into a nightmare. It’s the horror genre mixed with summer music festivals.

New Mutants: Lethal Legion #1 (Marvel) – We’re told this ties into the upcoming “Fall of X” which puts it on our spotlight.

Predator #1 (Marvel) – We’re promised this will turn what we know about the Predators on its head and we’re here for it.

Samurai Doggy #4 (AfterShock) – The previous issue was a visual feast and we’re intrigued what this next issue brings.

Space Job #2 (Dark Horse) – The first issue was hilarious and caught us off guard. We laughed a lot and hoping for more of that in the second issue.

Stoneheart #1 (Image Comics) – A new ongoing fantasy series from Emma Kubert.

Traveling to Mars #4 (Ablaze) – Roy gets an unexpected chance at salvation when his estranged wife agrees to talk to him before his spaceship cuts off communications with the Earth. A surprisingly heartfelt series.

X-23: Deadly Regenesis #1 (Marvel) – An unknown chapter of Laura’s life!
