Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

DC Pride 2023

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.

Amazing Spider-Man #26 (Marvel) – Word is out. Someone dies. We want to see how it all goes down.

Ancient Enemies #4 (Frank Miller Presents) – The series has been pretty interesting with its themes and concepts and we want to see how much more it dives into them.

Cat Fight #1 (IDW Publishing) – A mysterious character threatens Felix’s family member to recruit Felix to his crime syndicate. That sends Felix on a mission around the world.

DC Pride 2023 (DC Comics) – We’re always fans of anthologies.

Listen Beautiful Marcia (Fantagraphics) – When a daughter gets in trouble with a gang, her mother steps up to save her.

Local Man #4 (Image Comics) – The series has been a lot of fun mixing in something new with classic Image superhero comics.

North Valley Grimoire #1 (Massive/Whatnot) – It’s spycraft meets spellcraft in a series that’s supernatural suspense with Magicians.

Pathfinder: Wake the Dead #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The popular tabletop roleplaying game kicks off a new comic adventure with extras for those that play the game.

Power Girl Special #1 (DC Comics) – Power Girl has new powers and looks to be getting a bit of a spotlight. The character has had a bumpy recent history so we’re wondering where this all goes.

Savage Strength of Starstorm #1 (Image Comics) – A high school student finds a strange alien weapon called the Starstorm and the power within will determine the fate of the entire universe.

Starman: David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust Years (SelfMadeHero) – As Bowie fans, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that this made our list this week.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures Continued #1 (IDW Publishing) – The first volume was fun and we’re fans of the classic animated series, so we’re excited to check out this second volume!

W0rldtr33 #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue with a “virus” that causes individuals to act in violent ways was intriguing. There was some potential there and we want to see where it goes.
