One of my favorite writers is Charles Soule and one of my favorite publishers is Archaia. So when I heard Soule’s Strange Attractors was being published by Archaia, I was super excited.

In order to set himself up with a cushy job post graduation, Heller Wilson takes on a subject for his PhD thesis at the behest of his advisor. This leads him to meet with Dr. Spencer Brownfield, a disgraced Columbia professor who spent his career researching Complex Theory, the idea that one can use mathematics to predict large-scale outcomes caused by minute changes in environment. At first, Dr. Brownfield seems crazy, but Heller soon discovers that the doctor’s research might be the only thing keeping New York City from destroying itself from the inside out! Includes a bonus section of complexity maps created by Robert Saywitz.

It’s a pretty out-there concept and one that’s creative and unique. Can’t wait to sit down and tear through it.

Below find out the rest of our picks in alphabetical order.

• Strange Attractors – See above.
• Dream Thief #1 – After stealing an Aboriginal mask from a museum, John Lincoln realizes that the spirits of the vengeful dead are possessing his body and mind while he sleeps! His old problems have been replaced by bloody hands and the disposal of bodies—and now remembering where he spent last night has never been more important! Sounds cool to me!
  
• Dream Merchant #1 – A double-size issue to kick off a new sci-fi series from Nathan Edmondson and newcomer Konstantin Novosadov. Haunted by recurring dreams, a boy named Winslow is hunted by mysterious beings and protected by an old traveler. Soon Winslow will realize that what is in his dreams is what the rest of the world has been made to forget–and what strange entities will stop at nothing to erase from his mind.
  
• Age of Ultron #8 – The series is at a point where anything can happen. The event is finally at an exciting point where everything is on the table.
