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.
The Bat-Man: First Knight #1 (DC Comics/DC Black Label) – Dan Jurgens and Mike Perkins take us to Batman’s earliest days for a retelling of one of his most infamous cases through a modern lense.
Beyond Real #2 (Vault Comics) – The first issue was solid with a Matrix like concept that feels perfect for our AI world.
Dark Souls: The Willow King #2 (Titan Comics) – The first issue was some solid dark fantasy with beautiful art and a great introduction to the characters. We’re excited to explore more of the world.
The Devil That Wears My Face #5 (Mad Cave Studios) – The series has been fun with its over the top moments and embracing its concept of Face/Off meets The Exorcist.
The Fog #1 (Sumerian) – The classic John Carpenter film returns in a new comic. Check out our interview with writer Steve Ekstrom!
The Gulf (Tundra Books) – The cover for this caught our eye and the story of four kids tring to find their place in the world sounds interesting to us.
Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace #1 (Marvel) – It’s the next chapter of Ms. Marvel as she learns what it means to be a mutant and X-Man!
Night People #1 (Oni Press) – A pulsating roadmap of the American subconscious, where neon-lit Southern nights give way to lipstick, sweat, and blood, and the odd, the innocent, and the evil are all fellow travelers down an interstate of dark, elusive dreams. Yeah, we’re sold with that description.
Spectacular Spider-Men #1 (Marvel) – Peter Parker and Miles Morales team up in a new series!
Torpedo 1972 #1 (Ablaze Publishing) – In the 1930s, Lucas Torelli, known as “Torpedo”, was a legend of the suburbs of New York. A tough, trigger-happy Sicilian who only knew how to make friends-anyone else is no longer here to say otherwise. Nearly forty years later, the Big Apple has changed quite a bit. Torpedo, not so much. As a persistent journalist prepares to write an article about the Caputo family, the demons of Torpedo’s past resurface, along with his dirty old habits… We’re suckers from crime stories.
Ultimate X-Men #1 (Marvel) – The Ultimate line has been excellent so far. We’re excited to see not just how this series differs than the X-Men we know but what it brings to the new Ultimate U.
Void Rivals #7 (Skybound) – Beyond guest appearances, we really want to know how this series ties into the greater Energon Universe.
Weapon X-Men #1 (Marvel) – This universal spanning series of one-shots debuted with a so-so start but we’re intrigued by the overall concept.
What If.. Aliens #1 (Marvel) – What if Carter Burke had lived? Dude was a corporate weasel. He got what he deserved.
