Fence: Redemption #1

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.

Astrobots #2 (Massive/WhatNot) – The first issue was great, filling a big Transformers gap. The art was awesome and we’re expecting more.

By the Horns #9 (Scout Comics) – More fantasy fun!

Deadpool: Badder Blood #1 (Marvel) – Rob Liefeld returns to Deadpool.

Fence: Redemption #1 (BOOM! Studios) – Fence is back! The fencing series has been entertaining with every volume and we’re always excited for a new one.

Hairball #3 (Dark Horse) – The horror series has us creeped out and wanting to see what happens next.

In Hell We Fight #1 (Image Comics) – Three condemned teens and their annoying tagalong demon frenemy embark on a daring scheme to hijack a demon lord’s delivery truck. That sounds awesome.

Loki #1 (Marvel) – What chaos will Loki cause in this new series? We’ve enjoyed the past series and we’re hoping for similar entertainment.

Peacemaker: Tries Hard #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue had us laughing and we’re hoping for more of the same insanity.

Shazam! #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was a lot of fun with a bit of a throwback to the more innocent days of comics without the negativity.

Sins of the Salton Sea #1 (AWA Studios) – A thief is pulled into a conflict between warring factions of a doomsday cult.

Star Wars: Empire (Marvel) – A technician must figure out how to live under the control of the Empire.

Steelworks #1 (DC Comics) – We want to see what DC has for John Henry Irons.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Street Fighter #1 (IDW Publishing) – The title says it all.

You’ve Been Cancelled #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – It’s a completely off the wall take on cancel culture. Check out our early review.

Animal Castle Vol. 2 #1

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.

Animal Castle Vol. 2 #1 (Ablaze) – A really interesting new take on the classic book Animal Farm.

Astrobots #1 (Massive/Whatnot) – The art for this looks amazing and is about machine lifeforms called Astrobots who scout worlds for humanity and one world where a society of them is rising and humankind is not included in their plans.

Carnage Reigns Alpha #1/Cult of Carnage: Misery #1/Edge of Spider-Verse #1 (Marvel) – There’s a lot going on the fans of Marvel’s Spider-Man corner of their universe. There’s more multiverse action to enjoy and Carnage faces off against Miles Morales!

Hairball #2 (Dark Horse) – As the young girl’s black cat continues to plague her family with horror and tragedy, she decides she must take matters into her own hands to put an end to the feline’s evil ways. The first issue was some impressive an unnerving horror.

History of Japan in Manga (Tuttle Publishing) – The History of Japan in Manga tells the action-packed saga of Japan from its misty origins up to the present day.

Impossible People: A Completely Average Recovery Story (Black Dog & Leventhal) – Julia Wertz chronicles her haphazard attempts at sobriety and the relentlessly challenging, surprisingly funny, and occasionally absurd cycle of addiction and recovery.

Lamentation #1 (Oni Press) – New horror from Cullen Bunn, Hillary Jenkins, and Simon Bowland? Yes please!

Monomyth #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – Magic is all but extinct. When the last ailing wizard casts a final desperate spell to summon the descendants of ancient bloodlines to a school for magic now in disrepair…those chosen ones find a horror of the likes they’ve never experienced. The concept sounds great.

Parker Girls #7 (Abstract Studios) – Every issue has been a great mix of humor and action.

Peacemaker: Tries Hard #1 (DC Comics) – Peacemaker is asked to help steal the world’s most valuable and dangerous DNA!

Shazam #1 (DC Comics) – Mark Waid and Dan Mora taking on Shazam!. Nuff said.

Starsigns #1 (Image Comics) – The constellations of the zodiac fall to earth, granting twelve ordinary people from very different walks of life the superhuman powers of the Starsigns. The concept sounds interesting with a astrology meets X-Men/Heroes spin.

Survival #1 (Dark Horse) – A plane crash leads to a creature bringing ancient terror to the Alaska wilderness.

Where Monsters Lie #4 (Dark Horse) – The series has been fantastic with a mix of a lot of laughs and over-the-top violence.

X-Men: Before the Fall – Sons of X #1 (Marvel) – A series of one-shots kick off with this one seeing Legion taking on Nimrod and more moves from Mother Righteous.
