Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
GCPD: Blue Wall #4

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.

Barbaric: Hell to Pay #1 (Vault Comics) – More Barbaric? Yes please! The series has been amazing off the rails fantasy.

Bomb (Roaring Brook Press) – The story of the development of the nuclear bomb.

Chicken Devils #2 (AfterShock) – A gang is now pissed about the lies our favorite fast food restaurant has been telling. More bodies will pile up in what’s sure to be insane violence!

GCPD: Blue Wall #4 (DC Comics) – The series has been amazing showing the gray and difficulty of being a part of the GCPD.

I Hate Fairyland #3 (Image Comics) – The series has been the full of the over the top violence we’ve been expecting and loved. Here’s hoping it keeps up its balance of insanity.

Immortal Sergeant #1 (Image Comics) – On the eve of his unwelcome retirement, Jim Sargent (aka “Sarge”) a grizzled, old-school detective, catches a break on a murder case that’s haunted him for decades.

Maniac of New York: Don’t Call It a Comeback #1 (AfterShock) – The previous two volumes have been amazing with their riff on classic slasher horror.

Vanity #3 (Scout Comics/Black Caravan) – The true story about Elizabeth Bathory, the Blood Countess. This one’s focused on the legendary witch hunts of 15th century Europe and their impact on Bathory.

White Savior #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – it’s up to Japanese-American teacher Todd Parker to warn the good people of Inoki of Nathan Garin’s true nature before he causes the very death and destruction they are counting on him to avert!

Review: Canceled

Posted on by

I’m not a big horror fan. My enjoyment is pretty limited to styles and what I do like is pretty specific. Over the top gore is out and torture gore definitely isn’t my thing. So, there’s a balance for films, television, and comics as far as what I enjoy. David Byrne’s Canceled #1 nails my type of horror with scares and gore that’s just the right amount and mixing in a nice amount of humor as well.
