Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Energon Universe Special #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.

Ain’t No Grave #1 (Image Comics) – Skottie Young and Jorge Corona teaming for a Western/fantasy? Yeah, we’re down for this.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees #6 (IDW Publishing) – Great art and great concept of taking cute art and mixing it with the serial killer genre have resulted in a hell of a series.

Blood Hunters #1/Dracula: Blood Hunt #1 (Marvel) – Blood Hunt’s debut issue was fantastic and hooked us on Marvel’s summer event involving vampires finally making their move to take over the Earth.

The Boy Wonder #1 (DC Comics/DC Black Label) – Juni Ba makes his mark on Damian Wayne!

Crocodile Black #1 (BOOM! Studios) – A murder during the pandemic, the first issue is an intriguing one setting up a mystery as to what exactly is going on.

Deadweights #2 (Ahoy Comics) – The story about henchmen trying to find their way got us intrigued with the first issue and we want to see where this comedic take goes.

The Deviant #5 (Image Comics) – The series has been fantastic with a Silence of the Lambs vibe that we have no idea where it’s going.

The Devil That Wears My Face #6 (Mad Cave Studios) – Face/Off meets The Exorcist and it has been awesome with every issue. We have no idea how it’s going to conclude and we’re excited to find out.

Energon Universe Special #1 (Skybound) – Released on Free Comic Book Day, the comic gets new covers and if you didn’t grab a copy and reading the Energon Universe comics, this is one you can’t miss!

Faith Returns #1 (Alien Books/Valiant) – We’re excited to see what Faith’s return is all about! Such a great character and we’re hoping for some classic fun.

Mugshots #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – The kidnapping of a young woman sets in motion a chain of events that will set con artists, gangsters, killers and corrupt police on a collision course. Sounds like the type of film we’d sit down to watch and enjoy.

The One Hand #4 (Image Comics) – A great mystery involving a serial killer. If you like that genre, this is one you can’t miss!

Transformers #8 (Skybound) – The second arc has been solid so far and this issue is packed with drama, action, and surprises. It takes some classic concepts and brings them into this new take on the classic Transformers!

The Valiants #1 (Alien Books/Valiant) – There’s a big event coming in the Valiant Universe and we’re diving in to check it all out!
