TOP PICK: Lobster Johnson Get the Lobster #1 (Dark Horse) – I couldn’t have been more excited when Dark Horse announced a five-issue Lobster run. The last two-comic series, Scent of Lotus, was WAY too short. Can LJ stop murderous professional wrestlers??

Black Widow #3 (Marvel) – One of the few Marvel series I currently read. Nathan Edmondson and Phil Noto deliver a stunning, 70s-esque series that brings the Black Widow back to her gritty yet refined roots.

Five Ghosts #9 (Image) – Not going to lie, these latest follow-up issues to the original, tour-de-force story arc have been anticlimactic, but I’m still in it to win it…for now. I feel like Fabian has been trying to steal a boat the last three books.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #1 (Dynamite) – Admittedly, I thought this was a late 90s Nintendo 64 game before I knew it was a comic from the 50s. Native Americans battling dinosaurs? Tough to pass up.

TOP PICK: Punisher #1 (Marvel) – I’m a Punisher fan, and the string of series Marvel’s released recently have been solid. A new ongoing series is finally launching taking the Punisher to the west coast.

Loki: Agent of Asgard #1 (Marvel) – Loki has been revitalized between the movies and his younger version that was most recently in Young Avengers. He gets the spotlight now in his own series. I really want to see what this is, but a bit nervous.

Ms. Marvel #1 (Marvel) – One of the more interesting recent releases by Marvel. I expect to be a lot of love or hate about this one, which sees a young Jersey girl take on the Ms. Marvel mantle. I’m willing to give it a shot, it should be interesting.

Revelations #2 (BOOM! Studios) – I loved the first issue which saw a detective head to the Vatican to solve a murder. It’s blasphemous noir. I love it!

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter #1 (Dynamite) – Turok is back! The classic Gold Key character, who I got to know through Valiant, is back in a revitalization of the Gold Key line. The first issue is an interesting an entertaining start.

At New York Comic Con, Marvel has started to reveal what all of those teasers were about with numerous new series or events as part of their second wave of Marvel NOW! releases dubbed All-New Marvel NOW!

Savage Wolverine – Richard Isanove joins the series for an arc starting in 2014.

Guardians of the Galaxy and All-New X-Men cross over with The Trial of Jean Grey – Brian Michael Bendis is crossing over two of his biggest series in a story that deals with the fact Jean Grey is in the present. Her presence sets off fears of the Phoenix and folks head out to prevent another disaster. I guess they don’t get sent back to the past? And check out the new costumes!

Black Widow solo series – Nathan Edmondson and drawn by Phil Noto this series will most likely be similar to the successful Hawkeye, but with more spying….
