Maelstrom: A Prince of Evil leaves us wanting more and hoping for a sequel to this graphic novel

Maelstrom is a half-demon prince pining for a place in history. (Honestly, he’s just bored and searching for a way to pass the time.) Twigs is the young, prophesized Hero of Virtue fated to face him–or so we’ve been told . . .

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Karate Prom

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.

A Business Proposal Vol. 5 (Yen Press/IZE Press) – We’re a sucker for this rom-com.

Archie Comics: Judgement Day #1 (Archie) – When Archie changes up their formula, it’s usually a winner.

Barkham Asylum (DC Comics) – The title alone puts a smile on our face and DC has a good track record when it comes to graphic novels for kids.

Blood Hunt #2 (Marvel) – The first issue of this event far exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to see what comes next and who gets turned.

The Butcher’s Boy #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – A true Lovecraftian horror? Or just the feverish dreams of a mentally unstable serial killer. Six friends on a road trip are about to find out…

Cobra Commander #5 (Skybound) – The newly launched “Energon Universe” has breathed new life into Transformers and G.I. Joe and we’ve been sucked in to see how Cobra has come about. We’re excited to see this series wrapping up and what comes next.

Conan the Barbarian #11 (Titan Comics) – The series has been fantastic with every issue. The best sword and sorcery on the comic shelf right now.

Fall of the House of X #5 (Marvel) – The event overall has been ho-hum but we want to see how it wraps up and leads to the new start in July.

Karate Prom (First Second) – We loved it. Check out our review.

Local Man #10 (Image Comics) – This series’ praise and award nominations is well deserved.

Oshi No Ko Vol. 6 (Yen Press) – The series has been an interesting inside look at celebrity as well as a murder mystery.

The Talk (Henry Holt) – Darrin Bell examines how “the talk” has shaped nearly every moment of his life into adulthood and fatherhood.

Ultimate Black Panther #4 (Marvel) – We have no idea what it was at the end of the issue, but we’re excited to find out!

Void Rivals #9 (Skybound) – Another series in Skybound’s “Energon Universe,” Springer from the Transformers is in this and we’re intrigued as to how that piece of puzzle works.

White Boat #1 (DSTLRY) – Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla are a must buy, especially when together.

Get a sneak peek at what’s coming from First Second and Henry Holt!
