Absolute Martian Manhunter #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was a trippy visual treat and we’re excited to see where the series goes from debut.

Amazing Spider-Man #2 (Marvel) – The debut issue was a lot of fun with solid visuals and Peter getting back to basics. The second issue keeps that up with Peter trying to function after being dosed with whatever was used on Rhino.

Arcana Royale #1 (Dark Horse) – A clandestine poker tournament where magicians, demons, and demigods gamble using a set of mysterious tarot-like cards? The games shape the fate of the world? Yeah, we’re all in.

Assorted Crisis Events #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue felt like it had everything thrown in as time and reality was mixed and remixed in a crazy story focused on a young women trying to just make a living. We have no idea what to expect for the second issue.

The Boxer Vol. 10 (VIZ Media) – The best comic on the shelf. We’re standing by that.

G.I. JOE #6 (Skybound/Image Comics) – The series has been solid with great action and a nice fresh take on the classic property.

One World Under Doom #3 (Marvel) – The event has been great so far and the third issue has the heroes teaming up with villains to figure out what to do next.

Predator vs. Spider-Man #1 (Marvel) – The concept is out there and we’re here for it. Grab the popcorn, sit back, and just enjoy it.

Out of Alcatraz #2 (ONI Press) – The debut issue gave us a solid crime/escape from prison story and we’re excited to see how the mess from the debut issue is dealt with and the teased revenge is handled.

G.I. Joe A Real American Hero Jinx #1 (Image Comics/Skybound) – The new spins on the classic “silent” G.I. JOE comic have been fun so far and we’re interested in this one that has Jinx with 20 seconds-and 20 pages of real-time action-to escape a Cobra base.

Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Vol. 1 (VIZ Media) – Spotlighting the sword swinging Hoshina!

Blade Forger #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – Inaki Miranda and Roy Miranda have rocked it with previous releases and we’re crossing our fingers they hit that storytelling magic again.

Space Ghost #10 (Dynamite Entertainment) – One of the best monthly comics on the shelves right now. Great art and great storytelling has brought new life to the classic property.

Teen Titans Go #1 (DC Comics) – Say it ain’t so! The Titans’ comic book–canceled?! Desperate for a relaunch, the Titans remake themselves as everything from transforming robots to artsy, black-and-white indie comics characters. But when DC still doesn’t bite, the Titans turn to more drastic measures…like sabotage. That just sounds awesome.

The Ultimates #10 (Marvel) – The series has been fantastic and really building with each issue. Marvel’s Ultimate Universe is one of the best out there right now.

You Must Take Part in Revolution (Street Noise Books) – It’s 2035. The US and China are at war. America is a proto-fascist state. Taiwan is divided into two. As conflict escalates between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths who first met in Hong Kong develop diverging beliefs about how best to navigate this techno-authoritarian landscape. Andy, Maggie, and Olivia travel different paths toward transformative change, each confronting to what extent they will fight for freedom, and who they will become in doing so.

FIST OF THE NORTH STAR HC VOL 15

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 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 think below, and what comics you should be looking out for

Absolute Superman #3 (DC Comics) – The first two issues have been fantastic and this one sounds like it’s going to dive more into the destruction of Krypton.

Battle Action #2 (Rebellion) – With war all around us, how can you not enjoy some war comics? Really, each issue features two solid stories and all have entertained.

Cable: Love and Chrome #1 (Marvel) – There’s an old-school Cable vibe to this as Cable takes on a new foe and finds a new love.

Deadpool/Wolverine #1 (Marvel) – The team up sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. We want to see what Ben Percy and Joshua Cassara cook up and if they can pull this off.

Fist of the North Star Vol. 15 (VIZ Media) – The series has been fantastic with every release and this volume just ups the action and insanity even further.

Justice League: The Atom Project #1 (DC Comics) – The series looks to put the spotlight on how some of the metahuman powers got switched up after Absolute Power.

Sam Wilson: Captain America #1 (Marvel) – We’re fans of Sam Wilson as Captain America and excited to check out this series written by Greg Pak and Evan Narcisse. Plus, the first issue’s tease of taking on tech bros has us giddy.

Two-Face #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was solid with Two-Face defending criminals in an underground criminal court. We love the concept and the second issue involving the divorce of the Royal Flush Gang’s King and Queen of Hearts sounds like such a brilliant concept.

The Ultimates #8 (Marvel) – The Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy have entered the chat.

When I Lay My Vengeance Upon Thee #1 (BOOM! Studios) – Father Barrera is a disgraced priest, haunted by his part in the tragic death of a child. As penance, he is exiled to the remote South American town of Puerto Cristina to apprentice under the enigmatic Father Stygian, controversial exorcist. Yeah, we’re in for this.
