The next generation of mutants fight against the extinction of their kind as a deadly new enemy draws near.
The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The beloved characters from the original “X-Men” film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from “X-Men: First Class,” in an epic battle that must change the past — to save our future.

X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theaters this summer.
It’s a new week of comics and there’s a lot to choose from. Some of the Graphic Policy staff has put our heads together to pick some books we think you’d be doing yourself a favor in checking out. For this week I looked and Andrew’s choices and decided to not double up (I’d of picked a few of his) that way we’re giving you the skinny on a whole bunch of books so you have the best idea of what to check out!
Andrew
Top Pick: Moon Knight #1 (Marvel) – I’ve been looking forward to this number one issue since Marvel first announced it. Though it’s been awhile since I’ve picked up a Moon Knight book, he was one of my favorite characters growing up, so I hope it meets expectations.
Afterlife with Archie #4 (Archie) – I’m pretty confident this is unanimously revered by the team at Graphic Policy headquarters. I’m still blown away that Archie comics took the chance on a mature, violent, and dark Archie series. Exceptional.
Lobster Johnson Get the Lobster #2 (Dark Horse) – I was slightly disappointed with the previous issue (not enough Lobster), but this one redeems the entire series with a possible origin story, which LJ fans have yet to see.
Veil #1 (Dark Horse) – Greg Rucka’s new woman-wakes-up-nude-in-subway-with-powers series looks trippy…and good.
Trade Paperback/Graphic Novel: TMNT Villains Microseries TP Vol. 2 (IDW) – I’ve been on a mutant ninja turtles bender the last couple weeks, so this is a must read for me. It’s the second compilation of villain origin stories, and this one includes Shredder…yes please.
Brett
Top Pick: Evil Empire #1 (BOOM! Studios) – Max Bemis’ new series from BOOM! that takes us through a society as it crumbles. It’s a fascinating story that I was so excited about, I made sure I could interview Max about it.
Rogue Trooper #1 (IDW Publishing) – The classic series is back courtesy of IDW!
She-Hulk #2 (Marvel) – I loved the first issue written by Charles Soule that perfectly mixed humor, law and superheroing.
Starlight #1 (Image Comics) – Mark Millar’s new series that pays homage to Flash Gordan.
Wild Blue Yonder #4 (IDW Publishing) – It’s been a while since the third issue, but that hasn’t made my anticipation diminish for this series that’s fun, and beautiful to look at.
Trade Paperback/Graphic Novel: X-Men: Days of Future Past (Marvel) – Catch the classic tale before the summer movie!
The weekend is here and I’m spending it hitting up some geek shops!
