Wednesdays 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 are choosing up to five books and why they’re choosing the books. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this Wednesday.

Top Pick: Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles #1 (DC Comics) – I’ve read it and it’s amazing. Writer Mark Russell and artist Mike Feehan deliver what might be the best series of 2018 already. Yes, it’s that good. Russell has taken the classic cartoon character and reimagined him as an in the closet gay Southern playwright with a backdrop of the McCarthy hearings. It sets an amazingly high bar for the rest of the year.

Star Wars Adventures: Forces of Destiny #1 (IDW Publishing) – The popular toy line comes to comics and it’ll be interesting to see what IDW does with it.

Transformers vs. The Visionaries #1 (IDW Publishing) – Speaking of toys, the end of the last Hasbro even had the Visionaries come to the Hasbro comic universe and I can’t wait to see where things go from here. It was an unexpected shocking twist of an end.

The Walking Dead #175 (Skybound/Image Comics) – A new group has been made contact with and this issue kicks off a whole new arc. Can’t wait!

X-Men: Grand Design #2 (Marvel) – Ed Piskor knocked it out of the park with the first issue and what was one of the best releases by Marvel in 2017.

Top Pick: Secret Weapons #0 (Valiant) – When your favourite miniseries of 2017 has a bonus issue released, then you’re a little excited for it to arrive.

Last week’s comics – Due to a problem with the courier service, the entirety of Eastern Canada didn’t get their comics last week. Needless to say, I’m looking forward to getting my hands on those as well this week.
