Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

SABRINA #1 cover 1Wednesdays 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! Below are ten suggestions of comics, graphic novels, or trade paperbacks you should spend some extra time checking out and think about picking up. And this is a week that this list could easily be double the size.

Pick of the Week: Sabrina #1 (Archie) – Archie comics launched one of the best comics in a while with their twisted horror series Afterlife with Archie. It looks like this new series focused on the teenage witch will attempt to do the same. To say we’re excited is an understatement.

Alien Vs. Predator: Fire and Stone #1 (Dark Horse) – Dark Horse has been doing some very interesting things with their interconnected relaunch of Alien/Predator/Prometheus in comics. So far, each issue has been solid and while the stories are connected you don’t need to read one to enjoy the other.

Avengers and X-Men: AXIS #1 (Marvel) – Marvel’s next big event promises to flip things upside down. We’ll see how this one does.

Battling Boy: Rise of Aurora West Vol. 1 (First Second) – Battling Boy was one of our favorite graphic novels from last year. This is a prequel focused on the West family, and boy is it just as fun.

Birthright #1 (Skybound/Image) – For the Rhodes family, losing their son was the most devastating thing that could’ve ever occurred… but it couldn’t prepare them for what happened when he returned.

Black Science #9 (Image) – Conflict is the only constant, as the Dimensionauts are embroiled in a brutal war which threatens to engulf the fantastical land they are stranded in. But how can they uncover the horrible truth about the Pillar when every second is a fight to survive?

Jack Hammer: Usurper #1 (Action Lab Entertainment) – We love our noir, and the first volume of this series mixed a fun detective story with super powers.

Klarion #1 (DC Comics) – Klarion the Witch Boy makes his New 52 debut and stands for the forces of chaos in this new ongoing series! Yeah, this is one we didn’t see coming.

Punks: The Comic #1 (Image) – Dog, Skull, Fist, and Abe Lincoln live in a house, beat the #### out of each other, and frequently humiliate themselves. There is bleeding and sadness; Morrissey would likely approve. The cult hit comedy returns with new stories and a classic in the back.

Wytches #1 (Image) – Across the globe, century after century, men and women were burned, drowned, hanged, tortured, imprisoned, persecuted, and murdered for witchcraft. None of them were witches. They died protecting a terrible and hidden truth: witches, real witches, are out there. They are ancient, elusive, and deadly creatures that are rarely seen and even more rarely survived. A new horror series from Scott Snyder and Jock? Done!

Birthright—a new spin on the Hero’s Journey

birthrightCreator/writer Joshua Williamson, artist Andrei Bressan, and colorist Adriano Lucas team up for the highly anticipated new fantasy series Birthright, from Skybound/Image Comics and reveal an awe-inspiring variant cover by Image Comics partner and Top Cow CEO Marc Silvestri and colored by Sunny Gho.

Birthright begins with an innocent game of catch in the park and ends with a couple still in search of their missing son years later—never knowing what became of him when he disappeared into the woods that day. But of all their imagined scenarios, nothing could prepare them for what happened when he returned. So begins the new epic series, Birthright, where fantasy becomes reality.

Birthright #1 (Diamond Code AUG140536) arrives in stores on 10/8, as an oversized 40 page issue, available for only $2.99. The variant cover by Marc Silvestri can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JUL148295.
